Request for Additional Information - Watts Bar Unit 1 TPBARs (MF6050)Attachments:TPBAR - SNPB RAIs.pdfGentlemen, By letter dated March 31, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15098A446), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application for a license amendment to revise the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 1 Technical Specifications (TS) to increase the maximum number of tritium producing burnable absorber rods and to delete outdated information related to the tritium production program at WBN Unit 1. These changes would revise TS 4.2.1, "Fuel Assemblies," TS 3.5.1, "Accumulators," Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.5.1.4, and TS 3.5.4, "Refueling Water Storage Tank," SR 3.5.4. TVA supplemented this request with letters dated May 27 and June 15, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML15147A611 and ML15169B117, respectively). The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is reviewing your submittal and has determined that additional information is required to complete the review. The specific information requested is attached to this e-mail. Draft questions were provided to your staff on October 15, 2015, for clarification of the requests. TVA has agreed to provide a response to this information request by November 30, 2015. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding with this request.
