Dear Mr. Vassallo:

In the Matter of the Docket No. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority 50-296~

50-296 I

Please refer to D. G. Eisenhut',s letter to H. G. Parris dated October 24, 1984 regarding 10 CFR 50 Appendix J compliance for. Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant. In the referenced letter, NRC denied TVA's request for exemption of type C testing of the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) system isolation valves unless it could be shown that, the RBCCW system meets the closed-loop acceptance criteria stated in Standard Review Plan section 6.2.4. TVA has reviewed the RBCCW system and found it not to meet the closed-loop acceptance criteria; therefore, the RBCCW system will be backfit to accommodate type C testing in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J. The required modifications ar e scheduled for each unit during the next refueling outage which involves a type A test (integrated leak rate test), beginning with the current unit 1 refueling outage.

As a result of an extensive review, Browns Ferry's Appendix J type B and C testing program is being expanded to include the components listed in the enclosure. Each potential leak path identified in the enclosur e is currently tested during our Appendix J type A test program with satisfactory results; therefore, immediate action is not being taken.

Each new component test will require modifications on the respective system. These additional tests will be added to the Appendix J program following modifications scheduled dur ing the next refueling outage which involves a type A test, beginning with the current unit refueling 1 outage.
