Dear Sir or Madam:
With regard to Reference 1, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a request to amend the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) related to a revised fuel assembly drop analysis and adoption of NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specification Change Travelers TSTF-51, TSTF-272, TSTF-286, and TSTF-471. By email dated May 10, 2012 (Reference 2), the NRC accepted the proposed amendment for review and notified Entergy of supplemental information that would be necessary for the NRC to complete the overall review of the Reference 1 submittal. Entergy submitted the requested supplemental information in letter dated July 9, 2012 (Reference 3).
By email dated June 12, 2013 (Reference 4), the NRC identified minor changes needed to complete the review process. The NRC also requested that all of Attachment 1 of the Reference 3 letter be resubmitted and all the TS pages be resubmitted, in order for this final supplement to represent a complete package. Entergy submitted the requested supplemental information in letter dated June 18, 2013 (Reference 5).
During subsequent review of Attachment 2 of the Reference 5 supplemental letter, an error was discovered on the markup of TS page 3/4 3-25 in that the markup page did not exactly match the corresponding clean (revised) TS page (Attachment 3 of the Reference 5 letter), nor did it match the corresponding discussion and illustration included on Pages 23 and 24, respectively, of Attachment 1 of the Reference 5 letter. Specifically, Table 3.3-6 Note 3.b does not contain the TSTF-51 term "recently." This term is appropriately included in the aforementioned attachments of the Reference 5 letter. Therefore, a revised markup page is provided in Attachment to this letter, which includes the missing term. Entergy requests the NRC substitute the respective TS markup page included in this letter in lieu of the corresponding TS markup page contained in Attachment 2 of the Reference 5 letter.
No change in the commitments included in Attachment 4 of the Reference 5 letter is being made. In addition, the changes incorporated by this supplemental letter have no impact on the no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) included in Attachment 1 of the Reference 5 letter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), a copy of this application and the NSHC is being provided to the designated Arkansas state official.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Stephenie Pyle at 479-858-4704.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on July 1, 2013.
Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY JEREMY G. BROWNING JGB/dbb
