Discrepancies in Control Room Emergency Ve ntilation System (TS 3.7.10) and other Admin ChangesMr. Gordon Arent, By letter dated June 7, 2016 (CNL-16-031) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16159A208), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN), Units 1 and 2. The proposed license amendment would correct identified Technical Specification (TS) discrepancies in the WBN, Unit 2 Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) per TS 3.7.10 as well as other administrative errors identified in the WBN, Units 1 and 2, technical specifications.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide you with the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this submittal. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to a llow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed relief request in terms of regulatory requirements and protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that

impact the NRC staff's ability to complete the detailed te chnical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of fu rther information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
