Acceptance Review Result on LAR - TS Change to extend Type A test frequency to 15 yrs.

TAC No.: ME4090 SUNSI Review Done: Yes. Publicly Available, Normal Release, Non-sensitive, From: N. Kalyanam To: Robert Clark Bob:

By letter dated June 17, 2010, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a License Amendment Request for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, regarding Technical Specification Changes that would allow for the extension to the ten-year frequency of the ANO-2 Type A or Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) that is required by Technical Specification (TS) 6.5.16 to be extended to 15 years on a permanent basis.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this relief request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it generally does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.

If, after the detailed review of your application, additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1480.
