==Dear Sir or Madam:==
 
On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued an order (Reference 1) to Entergy Operations, Inc.
(Entergy). Reference 1 was immediately effective and required Waterford Steam Electric
 
Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3), to develop mitigating strategy provisions for beyond-design-
 
basis external events. In response, Waterford 3 developed and submitted an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 2) which specified periodic updates during the implementation of
 
the plan.
 
The purpose of this letter is to provide, as an attachment, the first six month status report for
 
the implementation of Order EA-12-049 with regard to the requirements for mitigation
 
strategies for beyond-design-basis external events for Waterford 3.

Attachment to W3F1-2013-0050 Page 1 of 4 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, First Six Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to the Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events 1 Introduction Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3), developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1 in Section 8) documenting the diverse and flexible strategies (FLEX) in response to Reference 2. This attachment provides a planned update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.
2 Milestone Accomplishments  The following milestone(s) have been completed since the development of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1), and are current as of July 30, 2013.
None. 3 Milestone Schedule Status  The following provides an update to the milestone schedule to support the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1). This section provides the activity status of each item, and whether the expected completion date has changed. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.

4 Changes to Compliance Method There are no changes to the compliance method as documented in the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1).
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Waterford 3 expects to comply with the order implementation date and no relief/relaxation is required at this time. 
 
Attachment to W3F1-2013-0050 Page 3 of 4 6 Open Items from Overall Integrated Plan and Draft Safety Evaluation Overall Integrated Plan Open Item Status OI1. The suction path from the TDEFWP to the WCTs would be through a non-running ACCWS pump post-ELAP. It is expected that both the TDEFWP and the currently sized EFW FLEX pump (primary strategy) will have sufficient capability and/or NPSH to do so. However, this will need to be confirmed more fully as the detailed design of the primary strategy for maintaining core cooling and heat removal evolves (with SGs available).
Not Started OI2. An analysis will be needed to demonstrate that containment pressure and temperature will stay at acceptable levels throughout the ELAP event and that no containment spray system will be required as part of FLEX.
Not Started OI3. At this stage of the conceptual design, the chemistry effects of alternate cooling source (ACS) use on secondary wetted components are unknown.
Not Started OI4. It is currently unclear if and how long gravity feed from the RWSP can be maintained during Modes 5 and 6 in Phase 1. If this time is sufficiently short, Waterford 3 may choose to pre-stage requisite FLEX equipment in Modes 5 and 6.
Not Started OI5. It is expected that only the component cooling water system and dry cooling towers will need to be made operational to reject the heat load generated post-ELAP in Phase 3. However, this must be investigated more fully to confirm such. Notably, only 60% of the dry cooling tower fan motors are currently missile protected and none of the wet cooling tower (WCT) fan motors are missile protected. If more than 60% of dry cooling tower (DCT) capacity is needed to support Phase 3, DCT and/or WCT fan motors may need to be missile protected. Currently available information follows:  The DCT one train heat removal in an accident would be 113.38 Mbtu/hr (Reference 50, Pg 18). Given that 60% of the DCT is missile protected, its assumed that that 40% of the heat removal capability is lost. 38 hours after shutdown, decay heat is less than 68 Mbtu/hr (ANS 79 decay heat curve) and less than the heat removal capacity of the DCTs. As the event proceeds, the required heat removal will decrease. Until this point in the event, Phase 1 and 2 FLEX strategies will be capable of removing decay heat. Final system operating details for the CCW and DCT (i.e., number of pumps and fans to operate) still need to be determined.
