Subject:

Withdrawal of License Amendment Request to Remove Technical Specification 3/4.3.2 Table 4.3-2 Note 3 Exemption for Testing Relays K114, K305, and K313 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3)

NRC Docket No. 50-382 Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 By letter dated December 6, 2017 (Reference 3), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requested an amendment to revise Technical Specification 3/4.3.2 for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3). This change is needed to support the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) Single Point Vulnerability (SPV) Trip Hardening Modification.

Due to procurement delays, implementation of the ESFAS SPV Trip Hardening Modification has been postponed to a future date that is to be determined. In light of this schedule change, Entergy has elected to withdraw the proposed license amendment request.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the Acting Regulatory Assurance Manager, John V. Signorelli, at (504) 739-6032.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on December 20, 2018.

Respectfully, John C. Dinelli JCD/mmz
