UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 3, 2016 Mr. Kevin J. Mulligan Vice President, Site Entergy Operations, Inc.

P.O. Box 756 Port Gibson, MS 39150

SUBJECT:

SCHEDULE REVISION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. ME7493)

Dear Mr. Mulligan:

By letter dated May 23, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the staff) notified Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy), of the revised safety review schedule for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (GGNS) license renewal application. At that time, the NRC staff required additional time to accommodate the uncertainty associated with the review and resolution of issues regarding GGNS neutron fluence analyses. The remaining safety review milestones were revised to a To-Be-Determined (TBD) status. Since May 23, 2013, the staff continued to work to determine a process for resolution of the issue. Entergy has since submitted responses to the unresolved issue and this letter is re-establishing the safety review milestones. The staff plans to issue its final safety evaluation report in April 2016.

The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards subcommittee meeting and full committee meeting are scheduled for May 4, 2016 and October 2016, respectively. Enclosed is a revised schedule for the review of the GGNS license renewal application that reflects these changes.

There are no environmental review schedule changes.

If you have any questions on the revised schedule, please contact Ms. Rebecca Richardson, Project Manager, for the review of the GGNS license renewal application, by telephone at 301-415-2867 or by e-mail at Rebecca.Richardson@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Christopher G. Miller, Director Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-416
