Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Operations Inc. (Entergy) proposes to revise reference 1 letter to add the words "Revision 8" to the added reference proposed for TS 5.6.5.b as follows: NEDC-33075P-A, Revision 8, GE Hitachi Boiling Water Reactor Detect and Suppress Solution - Confirmation Density (DSS-CD). This will ensure that the approved DSS-CD methodology can be used for preparing the Cycle Operating Limits Report (COLR) for the MELLLA+ reload following the approval of the MELLLA+ License Amendment Request.

This reference will be added upon NRC approval.

This letter contains no new commitments. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact James Nadeau at 601-437-2103.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 27th day of March, 2015.
