Subject:

Notification of Deviation from BWRVIP-183 River Bend Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-458 License No. NPF-47 This letter provides notification of a deviation from the Boiling Water Reactor Vessel and Internals Project (BWRVIP) guidelines for River Bend Station. This is a deviation from the performance of inspection in accordance with the examination schedules of BWRVIP-183, "BWR Vessel and Internals Project, Top Guide Grid Beam Inspection and Flaw Evaluation Guidelines," (EPRI Report 1013401, December 2007).

This is a deviation from a "needed" element of the BWRVIP program to perform inspections in accordance with the guidance of BWRVIP-183. BWRVIP-183 requires an inspection of the top guide rim area and two cells every six years and implementation of this inspection should have been completed by Refuel Outage16 (2011). It was discovered that this top guide inspection has not been completed to date at River Bend. The inspection has been scheduled for the next refuel outage which is Refuel Outage 18 (2015).

This deviation from the BWRVIP guidelines has been reviewed and approved in accordance with Entergy procedures and NEI 03-08 guidance. This is a notification of deviation only, and no action is being requested from the NRC.

The attachment to this letter provides a summary of the regulatory commitment made in this submittal.
