UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E. LAMAR BLVD.

ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511 July 28, 2016 MEMORANDUM TO: William M. Dean, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM: Kriss M. Kennedy, Regional Administrator /RA/

Region IV

SUBJECT:

GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION By letter dated October 28, 2011, Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI or the applicant) submitted an application pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, to renew the operating license for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station facility. With close coordination and support from your staff in the Division of License Renewal, we completed the inspections at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 2516, Policy and Guidance for the License Renewal Inspection Program, and Inspection Procedure 71002, License Renewal Inspection. The inspectors verified that the applicant has implemented the scoping and screening methodology and established aging management programs in conformance with the descriptions contained in the application for license renewal. The inspectors verified the acceptability of the existing and planned aging management programs. Further, the inspectors verified that the applicant provided the required documentation in an auditable and retrievable form. The inspectors identified some issues that the applicant has subsequently resolved satisfactorily. We documented the details of the scope of our license renewal inspection and results in Inspection Report 05000416/2012007, dated September 24, 2012 (ML12268A365).

We have determined that the applicants programs and activities related to the license renewal of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station have been, or will be, completed in substantial agreement with docketed commitments and regulatory requirements. Within the above inspection scope, the applicant demonstrated the capability to manage the effects of aging during the period of extended operation. Therefore, we conclude that there is reasonable assurance that the applicants aging management programs provide an adequate foundation for renewing the license for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station for an additional 20 years.
