[ICA Tennessee Valley Authority, Post Office Box 2000. Decatur, Alabama 35609-2000 September 5, 2014 10 CFR 21.21 ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Renewed Facility Operating License Nos.

Subject:

10 CFR Part 21 Interim Report - Engine Systems, Inc. -

Emergency Diesel Generator Heat Exchanger CEY564L-HEX The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) recently identified a leak in the weld of the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water outlet piping on the head of the C2 Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) heat exchanger, CEY564L-HEX. Corrective Action Program documents were written to document the failure of the heat exchanger weld and to perform an engineering evaluation of the condition. TVA's evaluation concluded that this condition has the potential to constitute a reportable condition pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 21, "Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance," and as such, requires additional evaluation.

The TVA must perform additional analysis in order to determine the significance of the weld defect. TVA will submit a final 10 CFR Part 21 report by November 6, 2014. The enclosure to this letter provides information required by 10 CFR Part 21.21 (a)(2) for the interim report of this condition.

There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this letter. Should you have any questions concerning this submittal, please contact J. L. Paul, Nuclear Site Licensing Manager, at (256) 729-2636.

Respectfully S-/E3r
