issued operating license No. NPF–96 to
TVA, the operator of WBN, Unit 2.
Operating license No. NPF–96
authorizes full power operation of WBN,
Unit 2. The NRC’s ROD that supports its
decision to issue operating license No.
NPF–96 is available in ADAMS. The
NRC staff’s safety analysis of TVA’s
application for the operating license is
documented in NUREG–0847, ‘‘Safety
Evaluation Report Related to the
Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant,
Units 1 and 2’’, as supplemented
through Supplement 29. The NRC staff’s
updated assessment of the
environmental impacts of operation is
documented in NUREG–0498, ‘‘Final
Environmental Statement Related to the
Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant,
Unit 2,’’ Supplement 2. The NRC finds
that the updated application for the
operating license filed by TVA on
Document
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:33 May 09, 2016
Jkt 238001
March 4, 2009, complies with the
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s
regulations.
The NRC originally intended for this
notice to be published in the Federal
Registerimmediately following issuance
of the WBN, Unit 2, operating license on
October 22, 2015; however, during
recent verification of operating license
documentation the NRC identified that
the notice had not been forwarded to the
Office of the Federal Register for
publication as intended.
II. Further Information
The NRC prepared a ‘‘Safety
Evaluation Report Related to the
Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant,
Units 1 and 2’’ (NUREG–0847), that was
published in June 1982, and
Supplements 1 through 29 that were
published between September 1982 and
October 2015. In Supplements 1 through
20 the NRC staff concluded that WBN,
Unit 1, met all applicable regulations
and regulatory guidance. In Supplement
21, the NRC staff reported on the WBN,
Unit 2, open items remaining to be
resolved, which were outstanding at the
time that TVA deferred construction of
WBN, Unit 2. In Supplements 22
through 29, the NRC staff documented
its evaluation and closure of the open
items in response to TVA’s updated
application for a license to operate WBN
Unit 2, filed on March 4, 2009. The NRC
staff also prepared a ‘‘Final
Environmental Statement Related to the
Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant,
Unit 2’’ (NUREG–0498), Supplement 2,
dated May 2013. NUREG–0847 and its
supplements and NUREG–0498,
Supplement 2, document the
information reviewed and the NRC’s
conclusions. The NRC also prepared a
ROD in accordance with the
Commission’s regulations to accompany
its action on the operating license
application. The ROD incorporates by
reference the materials contained in
NUREG–0498, Supplement 2.
