June 18, 2014 MEMORANDUM TO: Biweekly Notice Coordinator FROM:

Alan B. Wang, Project Manager /RA/

Plant Licensing IV-2 and Decommissioning Transition Branch Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION IN BIWEEKLY FR NOTICE - NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE (TAC NO. MF0658)

Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC, and Entergy Operations, Inc., Docket No. 50-458, River Bend Station, Unit 1, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana Date of amendment request: February 7, 2013, as supplemented by letter dated January 16, 2014.

Brief description of amendment: The amendment revised the River Bend Station, Unit 1 (RBS)

Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.4, DC [Direct Current] Sources - Operating, Surveillance Requirements 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5. The change is the result of the licensees determination that the total battery capacity would possibly be insufficient to supply the required load to the DC system if each of the battery-to-battery connections were to reach the individual resistance limits. The changes to the Surveillance Requirements added new acceptance criteria to address the possible non-conservative conditions when the battery connection resistances are at maximum TS values.

Date of issuance: June 18, 2014 Effective date: As of the date of issuance and shall be implemented 60 days from the date of issuance.
