BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) - UNIT 1 - RESPONSE TO NRC LETTER, DATED AUGUST 25, 2006 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESTART OF UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MC4660) | |||
The Enclosure to this letter provides the additional information requested by NRCs letter dated August 25, 2006, (Reference 1) that questioned if TVA had considered that the status change of BFN Unit 1 could result in a need to update the licensing basis for Unit 2 and 3. NRC stated that: TVA should ensure that the licensing basis for Units 2 and 3 are continuing to be met and if there are any other outstanding licensing actions for BFN Units 2 and 3 needed prior to the restart of Unit 1, TVA should seek approvals. | |||
Additionally, NRC requested that TVA provide a list and a schedule for submittal of any required licensing actions for Units 2 and 3, which are necessary due to previous assumptions that are no longer valid due to the restart of Unit 1. | |||
Based on the review documented in Enclosure 1, only the two additional licensing actions for Unit 2 and 3 identified by NRC in letter dated August 25, 2006, are required to support restart of Unit 1. Both of these | |||

TVA letter dated December 13, | TVA letter dated December 13, 20021, as supplemented by a February 28, 2003,2 letter, proposed the regulatory framework for the restart of Unit 1. As noted by NRC in letter dated August 25, 20063, these framework letters established a plan for addressing the generic communications, special programs, Technical Specification (TS) changes, and other licensing and regulatory issues needed prior to the restart of Unit 1. | ||
Included with the framework was a list of license amendments, relief requests, generic communications, and special programs that would be resolved prior to Unit 1 restart. NRC stated that as they work to resolve these items, the Staff noted the potential effect of the Unit 1 restart on Units 2 and 3 was not sufficiently discussed in previous TVA correspondence. NRC identified two TVA issues that exemplify their concern. | |||

NRC stated that as they work to resolve these items, the Staff noted the potential effect of the Unit 1 restart on Units 2 and 3 was not sufficiently discussed in previous TVA correspondence. NRC identified two TVA issues that exemplify their concern. | The first example identified was TVAs proposed TS amendment request (TVA letters dated December 6, 20044 and October 28, 20055) to extend the allowed outage time for the Unit 1/2 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) from 7 days to 14 days. Specifically, NRC stated that TVA did not provide adequate justification regarding the risk impact of Unit 1 restart on the previously granted EDG AOT extension for Units 2 and 3. NRC stated in their August 17, 20066, letter that the effect of Unit 1 restart on the approval of an extension of the EDGs allowed out of service time for Units 2 and 3 from 7 days to 14 days was based on treating BFN as a two unit plant, each with four EDGs available for service. However, with the proposed restarting of Unit 1, the same eight EDGs will be shared between units. | ||

The Enclosure to this letter provides the additional information requested by NRCs letter dated August 25, 2006, (Reference 1) that questioned if TVA had considered that the status change of BFN Unit 1 could result in a need to update the licensing basis for Unit 2 and 3. NRC stated that: TVA should ensure that the licensing basis for Units 2 and 3 are continuing to be met and if there are any other outstanding licensing actions for BFN Units 2 and 3 needed prior to the restart of Unit 1, TVA should seek approvals.
Additionally, NRC requested that TVA provide a list and a schedule for submittal of any required licensing actions for Units 2 and 3, which are necessary due to previous assumptions that are no longer valid due to the restart of Unit 1.
Based on the review documented in Enclosure 1, only the two additional licensing actions for Unit 2 and 3 identified by NRC in letter dated August 25, 2006, are required to support restart of Unit 1. Both of these

ENCLOSURE 1 BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) - UNIT 1 RESPONSE TO NRC LETTER, DATED AUGUST 25, 2006 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH RESTART OF UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MC4660)
TVA letter dated December 13, 20021, as supplemented by a February 28, 2003,2 letter, proposed the regulatory framework for the restart of Unit 1. As noted by NRC in letter dated August 25, 20063, these framework letters established a plan for addressing the generic communications, special programs, Technical Specification (TS) changes, and other licensing and regulatory issues needed prior to the restart of Unit 1.
Included with the framework was a list of license amendments, relief requests, generic communications, and special programs that would be resolved prior to Unit 1 restart. NRC stated that as they work to resolve these items, the Staff noted the potential effect of the Unit 1 restart on Units 2 and 3 was not sufficiently discussed in previous TVA correspondence. NRC identified two TVA issues that exemplify their concern.
The first example identified was TVAs proposed TS amendment request (TVA letters dated December 6, 20044 and October 28, 20055) to extend the allowed outage time for the Unit 1/2 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) from 7 days to 14 days. Specifically, NRC stated that TVA did not provide adequate justification regarding the risk impact of Unit 1 restart on the previously granted EDG AOT extension for Units 2 and 3. NRC stated in their August 17, 20066, letter that the effect of Unit 1 restart on the approval of an extension of the EDGs allowed out of service time for Units 2 and 3 from 7 days to 14 days was based on treating BFN as a two unit plant, each with four EDGs available for service. However, with the proposed restarting of Unit 1, the same eight EDGs will be shared between units.
The second example is BFN Units 1, 2 and 3 Fire Protection License Conditions 2(C)13, 2(C)14, and 2(C)7 citing two safety evaluations that were approved for all three units assuming Units 2 and 3 operating with Unit 1 shutdown and defueled (NRC SER dated November 2, 19957), and the second evaluation (NRC SER 1

NRC Request:
TVA should ensure that the licensing basis for Units 2 and 3 are continuing to be met and if there are any other outstanding licensing actions for BFN Units 2 and 3 needed prior to the restart of Unit 1, TVA should seek approvals. Based on the concern mentioned above, to ensure that all required reviews have been completed, the NRC Staff request TVA to provide a list and a schedule for submittal of any required licensing actions for Units 2 and 3, which are necessary due to previous assumptions that are no longer valid due to the restart of Unit 1.
TVA Response:
The following provides the results of the review of those items/programs that may be affected by three unit operation to determine if there are any Units 2 or 3 items/programs that may require additional regulatory action(s) due to the restart of Unit 1. TVA conducted a review of Nuclear Performance Plan (NPP) Programs, Generic Letters (GLs), Bulletins, etc., as described in TVAs regulatory framework letters. The review identified areas where TVA potentially assumed Unit 1 was not operating in order to justify operation of Units 2 and/or 3.
The attachment to this enclosure provides the results of this review. The status of NPP Programs, GLs, Bulletins and TMI items are provided quarterly to NRC.
Similarly, a review was performed of the TSs changes made since the conversion to the Improved TS, as documented in TVAs letter dated September 7, 20069. As a result of this review, TVA concluded that the supporting analysis for the affected TS changes have been completed, except for the seismic analysis associated with License Condition 2.C(15).

ENCLOSURE 1 BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) - UNIT 1 RESPONSE TO NRC LETTER, DATED AUGUST 25, 2006 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH RESTART OF UNIT 1 (TAC NO. MC4660)
The Attachment to this enclosure lists: 1) the areas identified; 2) discusses the assumed status of Unit 1 and the reason for the assumed status; 3) discusses the actions taken or to be taken to allow operation of Unit 1; and 4) any additional required licensing actions for Unit 2 and 3. The list includes the two examples cited by the NRC letter.
Results of Review:
As a result of TVAs review, no additional Units 2 or 3 items/programs beyond that identified in the NRC letter were identified as being affected by the Unit 1 status change (i.e.,
restart). The following provides a list of the items identified and a submittal schedule for each item:
- 1. EDG Allowed Outage Time Example:
With respect to the EDG example, submit a proposed TS amendment requesting a 7 day AOT for EDGs for Units 2 and 3. TVA will submit this proposed TS amendment request by October 27, 2006.
- 2. Fire Protection Example:
With respect to the Fire Protection example, TVAs April 24, 200610 letter summarizes the results of the meeting held between TVA and NRC on April 5, 2006. One of the actions that TVA stated it would take during this meeting, as documented in this April 24, 2006 letter, was as follows:
TVA will use existing Unit 1 License Condition 2.C(13) to approve the Unit 1, 2 and 3 Fire Protection Report (i.e.,
supersede the current Unit 2 and 3 Fire Protection Report) prior to restart (enter into Mode 2 or 3). At restart, Unit 1 will utilize the same type of manual operator actions as are currently used in Units 2 and 3. The manual operator actions will be demonstrated to be feasible via timed walkdowns.
Since this action will be performed under TS License condition 2.C (13), no additional submittals are required.
