NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–390 and 50–391; NRC–
2019–0046]
Tennessee Valley Authority; Watts Bar
Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Environmental assessment and
finding of no significant impact;
issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of amendments to licenses
held by Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA, the licensee) for the operation of
Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant (WBN),
Units 1 and 2. The proposed
amendments would revise the WBN,
Unit 2 Technical Specification (TS)
4.2.1, Fuel Assemblies, to add a limit on
the number of tritium producing
burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) that
can be irradiated. This license
amendment request also provides
proposed changes to the WBN, Units 1
and 2 TSs related to the new criticality
analyses performed for the spent fuel
storage racks. The NRC is issuing an
environmental assessment (EA) and
finding of no significant impact (FONSI)
associated with the proposed license
amendments.
SUMMARY:
The EA and FONSI referenced in
this document is available on February
11, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Please refer to Docket ID
NRC–2019–0046 when contacting the
NRC about the availability of
information regarding this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering issuance of
amendments to Facility Operating
License Nos. NFP–90 and NFP–96,
issued to TVA for operation of the WBN,
Units 1 and 2, located in Rhea County,
Tennessee.
In accordance with section 51.21 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC prepared
the following EA that analyzes the
environmental impacts of the proposed
licensing action. Based on the results of
this EA, and in accordance with 10 CFR
51.31(a), the NRC has determined not to
prepare an environmental impact
statement for the proposed licensing
action, and is issuing a FONSI.
PO 00000

II. Environmental Assessment
Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would revise the
WBN, Unit 2 TS 4.2.1, Fuel Assemblies
to allow up to 1,792 TPBARs to be
irradiated in the reactor core. The
proposed action would also revise the
WBN, Units 1 and 2 TS 3.7.15, Spent
Fuel Assembly Storage, to simplify the
fuel storage limitations on fuel
assemblies by eliminating the burnuprelated criteria; TS 3.9.9, Spent Fuel
Pool Boron Concentration, to modify the
minimum fuel storage pool boron
concentration during refueling
operations when fuel is stored in the
pool; and TS 4.3, Fuel Storage, to
replace the storage limitations on fuel
assembly burnup and storage with a
single requirement to maintain a
specified boron concentration in the
spent fuel pool. The proposed action
would also add the WBN, Units 1 and
2 TS 3.7.18, Fuel Storage Pool Boron
Concentration, to specify the minimum
fuel storage pool boron concentration
when fuel is stored in the pool, and TS
5.7.2.21, Spent Fuel Storage Rack
Neutron Absorber Monitoring Program,
to monitor the condition of the neutron
absorber material used in the spent fuel
pool storage racks to ensure it will
continue to perform its assumed design
functions.
The proposed action is also described
in the licensee’s application dated
December 20, 2017 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML17354B282), as supplemented by
letters dated February 15, 2018 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML18047A181), April 9,
2018 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML18100A953) and October 4, 2018
(ADAMS Accession No. ML18283A107).
Need for the Proposed Action
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
and TVA are cooperating in a program
to produce tritium for the National
Security Stockpile by irradiating
TPBARs at the WBN site. Tritium is
produced when the neutrons produced
by nuclear fission in the core are
absorbed by the lithium target material
of the TPBAR. A solid zirconium metal
cladding covering the TPBAR (called a
getter) captures the tritium produced.
Most of the tritium is contained within
the TPBAR, however, some tritium
permeates through the TPBAR cladding
and is released into the reactor coolant
system.
This proposed action is needed to
support the DOE, National Nuclear
Security Administration, national
security stockpile needs in accordance
