Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated October 31, 2013 (Reference 1), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) proposed an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License (OL) DPR-28 for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY). This amendment request proposed changes to the staffing, training and programmatic requirements contained in Section 6.0, Administrative Controls, of the VY Technical Specifications (TS) to support the transition of the VY facility to a permanently defueled condition.

BVY 14-083 /page 2of 3 Based on teleconference held with NRC staff on December 4, 2014, ENO has identified additional changes to Section 6.0 of the TS that are needed to reflect the transition of VY from an operating unit to a decommissioning facility. to this letter provides a detailed description and evaluation of the proposed changes. contains a markup of the TS pages that builds on the markups provided in References 1, 2 and 3. Attachment 3 contains the retyped TS pages incorporating the changes proposed in this supplement and those in Reference 1.

The conclusions of the no significant hazards consideration and the environmental considerations contained in Reference 1 are not affected by, and remain applicable to, this supplement.

There are no new regulatory commitments made in this letter.

If you have any questions on this transmittal, please contact Mr. Philip Couture at 802-451-3193.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on December 5, 2014.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION In Reference 1, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) provided notification of the intention to permanently cease power operations of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY) in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) at the end of the current operating cycle.

In Reference 2, ENO submitted proposed changes that would revise and remove certain requirements contained within Section 6.0, Administrative Controls, of the VY Technical Specifications (TS) consistent with the planned transition to a permanently defueled facility.

Additional changes to Section 6.0 of the TS have been identified that are needed to reflect the transition of VY from an operating unit to a decommissioning facility.

2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND BASIS FOR THE CHANGES The following table identifies each section that is being changed, the proposed changes, and the basis for the changes:

Proposed Changes to VY Technical Specification Section 6.0, Administrative Controls Affected Sections Proposed Changes Basis 6.1.A, 6.2.A, Replace the term The change from "unit" to "facility" and "unit 6.2.A.2, 6.2.B, "unit" with "facility" operation" to "facility staff' is administrative and 6.2.C, 6.2.C.1, throughout. reflects that VY will be permanently shutdown and 6.6.D, 6.6.E, defueled and are appropriate for activities 6.7.D.d, 6.7.D.h, For 6.2.A only - associated with a decommissioning reactor. Overall 6.7.D.i replace "unit management and staff responsibilities and the operation" with "facility description of the plant are unchanged. These staff' changes are consistent with those recently approved for Crystal River Unit 3 (Reference 3) and San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 (Reference 4).
