SUBJECT:

Withdrawal of License Relief Request River Bend Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-458 License No. NPF-47

REFERENCE:

Request for Relief from ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section III," dated December 22, 2011 (RBG-47197)

Dear Sir or Madam:

By the Reference, Entergy Operations, Inc., submitted a request proposing relief from certain requirements in American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section II1.

Entergy proposes an alternative to the postweld heat treatment exemption of Table ND-4622.7 to utilize Code Case N-804 which provides postweld heat treatment exemptions for these welds without the application of elevated preheat.

As a result of continuing discussions between Entergy and NRC Staff it has been subsequently determined that the request would need further development. Accordingly, Entergy hereby withdraws that amendment request.

There are no commitments in this letter.

If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Joseph A. Clark at (225) 381-4177.

Respectfully, JCR/JAC/bmb
