the intervening combustibles should not 

affect the capability of the installed 

suppression and detection system to 

detect and mitigate a fire, the 

underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.48 and 

Appendix R is achieved. Therefore, the 

special circumstances required by 10 

CFR 50.12(a)(2) for the granting of an 

exemption from 10 CFR 50.48 and 

Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 exist. 

4.0 Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12, the revision to the exemption is 

authorized by law, will not present an 

undue risk to the public health and 

safety, and is consistent with the 

common defense and security. Also, 

special circumstances are present. 

Therefore, the Commission hereby 

grants the TVA a revision to the 

exemption from the requirements of 

Section III.G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 

50 for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, 

Units 1, 2 and 3. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment (22 FR 9036). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day
