In 2004, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested information from licensees to support the Significance Determination Process (SDP) Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook (notebook) enhancement/standardization effort. The NRC has completed this effort and has issued Revision 2 of the notebook for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (Watts Bar). The NRC developed these notebooks to facilitate Phase 2 of the NRC inspection finding signification determination process detailed in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "Determining the Significance of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations." SECY-99-007A, "Recommendations for Reactor Oversight Process Improvements," setsforth this process and additional details are included in the NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0308, "Reactor Oversight Process Basis Document." NRC inspectors and risk analysts who have extensive understanding of plant-specific design features and operation, are expected to use these notebooks.

Dear Mr. Campbell:

In2004, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested information from licensees to support the Significance Determination Process (SDP) Risk-Informed Inspection Notebook (notebook) enhancement/standardization effort. The NRC has completed this effort and has issued Revision 2 of the notebook for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (Watts Bar). The NRC developed these notebooks to facilitate Phase 2 of the NRC inspection finding signification determination process detailed in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "Determining the Significance of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations." SECY-99-007A, "Recommendations for Reactor Oversight Process Improvements," setsforth this process and additional details are included in the NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0308, "Reactor Oversight Process Basis Document." NRC inspectors and risk analysts who have extensive understanding of plant-specific design features and operation, are expected to use these notebooks. The notebooks will be updated on a case-by-case basis as needed to reflect changes to the facilities.

Revision 2 of the notebooks is accompanied by the Site Specific Pre-Solved Spreadsheet (the Spreadsheet). The NRC added the Spreadsheet to help reduce the time it takes to process inspection findings. The NRC benchmarked the notebooks against licensee Probability Risk Assessments and plant configurations. The enclosed compact disk containing the above documents is provided for your use to facilitate your understanding of the SDP in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.

The enclosure contains transmitted Information.
