Dear Mr. Bhatnagar:

The NRC staff presented information on the current status of the NRC's construction inspection program for WBN Unit 2. Additional topics related to the WBN Unit 2 construction project were discussed between the NRC and TVA. Following these presentations and discussions, members of the public had an opportunity to provide comments and ask questions. The list of attendees (Enclosure 1), the TVA presentation material used for discussions (Enclosure 2), and the NRC presentation material used for discussions (Enclosure 3) are attached to this letter.
