NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-390]


Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 1, Tennessee Valley Authority; 
Notice of Issuance of Facility Operating License

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission), has issued Facility Operating License No. NPF-90 (the 
license) to Tennessee Valley Authority (the licensee). This license 
authorizes operation of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 (the 
facility), by the licensee at reactor core power levels not in excess 
of 3411 megawatts thermal in accordance with the provisions of the 
license, the Technical Specifications (Appendix A to the license), and 
the Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix B to the license).
    Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 1, is a pressurized-water nuclear 
reactor located at the licensee's site on the west bank of Chickamauga 
Lake in Rhea County, Tennessee.
    The application for the license complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's regulations. The Commission has made appropriate 
findings as required by the Act and the Commission's regulations in 10 
CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license. Prior public notice 
of the overall action involving the proposed issuance of an operating 
license was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 1976 (41 
FR 56244).
    The Commission has determined that the issuance of this license 
will not result in any environmental impacts other than those evaluated 
in the Final Environmental Statement (NUREG-0498), and Supplement 1, 
since the activity authorized by the license is encompassed by the 
overall action evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement.
    Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.52, the Commission has determined that the 
issuance of exemptions included in this license will have no 
significant impact on the environment. These determinations were 
published in the Federal Register on April 18, 1985 (50 FR 15516) and 
April 25, 1995 (60 FR 20291).
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) Facility 
Operating License No. NPF-90 with appendices stated above; (2) the 
Commission's Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-0847) dated June 1982, and
