UNIT 2
Dear Mr. Skaggs:
This refers to the meeting conducted at our request at the Comfort Inn in Athens, TN on April 9,
2014 at 5:30 p.m. The meeting's purpose was to discuss the status of the Watts Bar Nuclear
(WBN) Unit 2 Construction Project, including major milestones and potential challenges that
may impact the project schedule.
On April 9, 2014, the NRC held a Category 1 meeting in which TVA provided a presentation
about the current progress and scheduling plans for the WBN Unit 2 Construction Project. The
NRC staff presented information on the current status of the NRC’s licensing and construction
inspection programs 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 agenda (Enclosure 1), the list of attendees (Enclosure 2), the TVA presentation material
used for discussions (Enclosure 3), and the NRC presentation material used for discussions
(Enclosure 4) are attached to this letter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be
available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC’s document system (ADAMS).
