Dear Sir or Madam:
In Reference 1, the NRC issued License Amendment No. 243 to the Renewed Facility Operating License for Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) which approved the PNP Cyber Security Plan and associated implementation milestone schedule. The Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule contained in Reference 2 was used as a portion of the basis for the NRC safety evaluation report provided by Reference 1.
In Reference 3, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) submitted a license amendment request to implement the requirements of Implementation Schedule Milestone 6 in a slightly different manner than described in the approved
PNP 2012-1 05 Page 2 of 2 Implementation Schedule. This amendment request included a change to the Physical Protection license condition in Section 2.E of the Renewed Facility Operating License. The change added a parenthetical statement that the PNP Cyber Security Plan approved by License Amendment No. 243 is supplemented by a clarification approved by the Reference 3 license amendment request.
This supplement to the Reference 3 submittal modifies the parenthetical statement in Section 2.E of the Renewed Facility Operating License. The parenthetical statement is modified by replacing clarification with change.
This modification is reflected in Attachments I and 2 of this supplemental submittal.
Attachment I contains the proposed marked-up operating license page for the Physical Protection license condition for PNP. Attachment 2 contains page change instructions and the proposed revised operating license page. These two attachments supersede the previously submitted Attachments 2 and 3 in Reference 3.
This supplement does not alter the significant hazards consideration or the environmental considerations previously provided in Reference 3.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on November 28, 2012.
