NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-259, 50-260 and 50-296]


Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of Issuance of Amendment to 
Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) has 
issued Amendment Nos. 234, 253 and 212 to Facility Operating License 
Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52 and DPR-68 issued to the Tennessee Valley Authority 
(TVA or the licensee) for operation of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant 
(BFN), Units 1, 2 and 3, respectively, located in Limestone County, 
Alabama.
    The amendments implement a full conversion from the current 
Technical Specifications (TS) to a set of TS based on NUREG-1433, 
Revision 1, ``Standard Technical Specifications for General Electric 
Plants, BWR/4,'' dated April 1995. The application for the amendments 
complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's rules and 
regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as required 
by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter 
I, which are set forth in the license amendments.
    Notices of consideration of Issuance of Amendments to facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing in connection with this 
action were published in the Federal Register on October 23, 1996 (61 
FR 55026), June 1, 1998 (63 FR 29763) and June 12, 1998 (63 FR 32252). 
No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed 
following these notices.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental assessment to the 
action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendments will not have a 
significant impact on the quality of the human environment (63 FR 
34944).
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendments dated September 6, 1996, as supplemented May 
1, August 14, November 5 and 14, December 3, 4, 11, 22, 23, 29 and 30, 
1997, January 23, March 12, April 16, 20 and 28, and May 7, 14, 19 and
