UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 May 30, 2014 Vice President, Operations Arkansas Nuclear One Entergy Operations, Inc.

SUBJECT:

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1 -NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 805 LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION ONLINE REFERENCE PORTAL (TAC NO. MF3419)

Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated January 29, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14029A438), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee),

submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to adopt National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805, "Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition," at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (AN0-1).

To improve the efficiency of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviews, the licensee's representatives and the NRC staff have discussed the use of an online reference portal that would allow the NRC staff, and its contractors, limited read-only access to the basis documents and other reference materials cited in the application. By letter dated December 20, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML113340218), the NRC staff described the requested portal process. By letter dated April 26, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML121020516), a similar process was requested for AN0-2. The online reference portal would allow the NRC staff to audit basis documents to determine whether the information included in the documents support the application. Documents identified as necessary for analysis of the application will be identified by the NRC staff. The licensee will be formally requested to submit those documents on the NRC docket. Use of the online reference portal is acceptable as long as the following conditions are met:

• The online reference portal will be password-protected and passwords will be assigned to those directly involved in the review on a need-to-know basis;

• The online reference portal will be sufficiently secure to prevent staff from printing, saving, or downloading any documents; and

• Conditions of use of the online reference portal will be displayed on the log-in screen and will require concurrence by each user.

The NRC staff requests that the portal for AN0-1 be populated with the documents listed in the enclosure to this letter. This will help with the preparation for the site audits and increase effectiveness of the review prior to the audit. By letter dated May 20, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14139A270), the NRC staff accepted the AN0-1 NFPA 805 application for review.

Therefore, the NRC also requests that Entergy provide access to the AN0-1 portal for NRC staff use and send the necessary information to access the portal, such as username and password, to the contact listed below, as soon as possible.

The conditions associated with the online reference portal must be maintained throughout the duration of the review process. Please provide written confirmation that Entergy agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2833 or via e-mail at peter. bamford@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Peter J. Bamford, Proj ct Manager Plant Licensing Branch IV-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-313
