Dear Mr. Denton:
In the Matter of the ) Docket Nos. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority ) 50-260 50-296 By my letter to you dated September 22, 1983 we submitted a request to change the technical specifications of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (TVA BFNP TS 191). The requested specifications enclosed with-the letter revise the pressure-temperature limit curves for hydrostatic pressure test, reactor vessel heatup and cool down, and nuclear core operation.
The enclosure to this letter provides additional information in support of TS 191 requested by your staff.
The enclosure includes information regarding chemical composition of reactor vessel material, end-of-life neutron fluence, and Charpy impact testing results. Please get in touch with us through the Browns Ferry Project Manager if additional information is needed.

'4) Further correspondence with BT,W has failed to obtain any further docu-
- 5) mentation or information beyond that described above. We are continuing to pursue this matter.
- 7) No special handling tools are provided for removal of the surveillance
- 8) specimen holders from the reactor vessel. The normal pool tool accessori.2 (J-hook, L-hook, . actuating pole, etc.), plus. the in-core detector cutter
_ are sufficient to remove, handle and prepare for shipment. Shipment is necessary because testing of the' individual specimen requires the services of a radiation-laboratory. It is left up to each customer to select the laboratory and contract for the particular services they desire.
Shipment is most easily accomplished by separating the specimen basket (intact with capsules containing-the individual specimen) from the sur-veillance holder pole. This is done with use of the in-core detector cutter. The basket is deposited in a small lead shipping cask and sent -
to the laboratory for processing. The remaining pole and handle assembly may be cut up and discarded as rad-waste.
- 9) GE would be willing to provide testing and evaluation service on irradiate
- 10) surveillance samples. Actual contract conditions will have to be negotiated through our Chattanooga office.
- 11) The maximum calculated integrated neutron dose (1 mov) on the vessel wal'.
12 is 3.80 x 1017 NVT. This exposure is expected to occur at an elevation 13 'three feet above the bottom of the active core at azimuthal positions 14 opposite the corner elements. The azimuthal positions are approximately 25*, 65*, 115 , 155 . 205*, 245*, 295 and 335 .
The calculated dose on the surveillance baskets at azimuthal locations c
. 30 , 120*, and 200 are equal and equivalent to
- 3.07 x 10 8 neutrons 2
or 3.9 x 1017.NVT cm - sec at. rated power for 40 years. These values are based on the same calculati type as the maximum fluence base. The axial variation is assumed to be proportional to Figure 1.
The above data applies to all three units.
- 15) As stated in NED0-10ll5, Para. 5.7: "Because the boiling water reactor is a constant-temperature device, no special temperature monitoring devices are required." This has been confirmed by temperature monitot ing devices which had been installed in earlier plants.

the RT if the minimum absorbed energy Is less than !+5 ft/lbs .,
t4DT is estimated as 20' F above the test temperature RT . Therefore, HDT - 1 F (test temperature) + 20' F = 30' F.
Since the above value of RT NDT Is greater than 12* F, the end-of-core life adjusted reference tersperatura at the 100* F.
