SUBJECT:
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF DENIAL OF NONCITED VIOLATION
IN NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000458/2005005
Dear Mr. Hinnenkamp:
Thank you for your letter dated March 24, 2006, in response to our February 13, 2006, letter
and integrated inspection report. In your letter you contested one Green noncited violation
concerning implementation of Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.1.A, Condition A, required
Action A.1. The NRC inspection report concluded that a Green noncited violation of TS
Action 3.4.1.A.1 occurred when River Bend Station failed to restore compliance with Limiting
Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.1 or shut down one reactor recirculation loop within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />
of determining the reactor recirculation loop flow mismatch was greater than 5 percent at power
with greater than 70 percent rated core flow. Entergys position is that River Bend Station
complied with the requirements of TS 3.4.1; therefore, a violation did not occur. You have
requested that the NRC reconsider our conclusion and find that a violation of TS 3.4.1 did not
occur.
The NRC is reviewing your request and will inform you of the results of our review by separate
correspondence.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and
your response (if any) will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC
Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the
NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
