Dear Sir or Madam:

In letter dated December 9, 2013 (Reference 1), Entergy Operations Inc. (Entergy) submitted a request to amend Waterford 3 Technical Specification (TS) 4.8.2.1, D.C. Sources, among other items to address multiple administrative issues with the Technical Specifications. The proposed change would have added a provision to the existing surveillance test requirements to limit the total battery inter-cell resistance value. The proposed change included a programmatic requirement to establish the limit on the total battery inter-cell resistance using design calculations and to document results in test procedures.

In letter dated August 22, 2014 (Reference 2), a Request for Additional Information (RAI) requested Entergy to provide additional justification for why adding the provision, instead Entergy Operations, Inc. 17265 River Road Killona, LA 70057-3093 Tel 504-739-6660 Fax 504-739-6678 mchisum@entergy.com Michael R.
