SUBJECT:

License Amendment Request Supplemental Regarding Technical Specification Changes for Control Room Envelope Habitability in Accordance With TSTF-448, Revision 3, Using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License No. DPR-51

REFERENCE:

1. Entergy letter to NRC dated October 22, 2007, Technical Specification Changes For Control Room Envelope Habitability in Accordance With TSTF-448, Revision 3, Using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (1CAN100704) (TAC No. MD7177)

Dear Sir or Madam:

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a request for an amendment (Reference 1) to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1). The proposed amendment would modify TS requirements related to control room envelope (CRE) habitability in accordance with Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-448, Revision 3, using the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).

In the original letter (Reference 1), Entergy proposed to control the first performance of CRE tests adopted via TSTF-448 by regulatory commitment. However, The NRC notified Entergy in late December 2008 that the first performance of CRE testing must be controlled in the Operating License. Therefore, Entergy proposes to delete commitments contained in its original letter (Reference 1) associated with the first performance of CRE testing and add a new ANO-1 Operating License condition 2.c.(10) to capture the requirements for the first performance of these tests. A markup of the affected Operating License page is included in . Note that the markup refers to an Amendment xxx, where xxx represents the Amendment number approving the adoption of TSTF-448 for ANO-1.

1CAN010901 Page 2 of 2 contains a revised List of Regulatory Commitments.

The adoption of Operating License requirements for the first performance of CRE testing and the revision to the List of Regulatory Commitments table do not invalidate the No Significant Hazards Considerations associated with the original ANO-1 submittal (Reference 1).

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Dale James at 479-858-4619.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that I am authorized by Entergy to make this request and that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on January 12, 2009.

Sincerely, TGM/dbb
