Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) Technical Specification 5.6.5 requires the submittal of the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) upon issuance for each reload cycle. Attached is the ANO-1 Cycle 29 COLR. Please note that the latest approved revision number of the Babcock and Wilcox Topical Report BAW-10179P-A is identified in the COLR as Revision 9, November 2017. In addition, the approved revision number of the Entergy Reactor Physics Methods Report is identified in the COLR as Revision 0, December 1993.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

This completes the reporting requirement of the stated specification. Should you have any questions, please contact me.

Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY TIMOTHY L. ARNOLD TLA/dbb

The total power peaking factors for IC-DNB 4-pump and 3-pump are identical; hence one set of IC-DNB values are provided for both 4-pump and 3-pump operation.

1. The values above are not error corrected.
2. The values above were generated using SCD methods which incorporate a 3.8% radial peak uncertainty in the DNBR design limit.

Therefore, the above IC MAP limits can be compared to predicted peaks without the addition of up to 3.8% in radial peak calculation uncertainty. These limits, however, do not incorporate any grid bias uncertainty.

3. The present T-H methodology allows for an increase in the design radial-local peak for power levels below 100% full power. The equations defining the multipliers are as follows:

P/Pm = 1.00 P/Pm < 1.00 MAP Multiplier 1.0 1 + 0.3(1 - P/Pm)

Where P

=

core power fraction, and Pm =

1.00 for 4-pump operation, or

=

0.75 for 3-pump operation
