| By letter dated August 24, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 15217A143), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (WF3) Technical Specification (TS) 6.15, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," with a reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 94-01, Revision 2-A, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," as the implementation document used by Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) to develop the WF3 performance-based leakage testing program in accordance with Option B, "Performance Based Requirements," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix J, "Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors." The approval was in response to the Entergy LAR dated August 28, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 14241A305), as supplemented by letters dated April 15, May 4, and June 18, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML 15105A615, ML 15124A946, and ML 15169A180, respectively). | | By letter dated August 24, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15217A143), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (WF3) Technical Specification (TS) 6.15, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," with a reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 94-01, Revision 2-A, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," as the implementation document used by Entergy Operations, Inc.

| Subsequent to issuing the amendment, the NRC staff identified an error in the approved TS 6.15 on page 6-24. On page 7 of 23 in Attachment 1 to the May 4, 2015, supplement, editorial changes were made to TS 6.15 for clarification purposes, but a revised page 6-24 was not included in the supplement, and the amendment was issued without the editorial changes. The safety evaluation (SE) for the LAR did incorporate the editorial changes as a partial basis for its conclusion. | | Subsequent to issuing the amendment, the NRC staff identified an error in the approved TS 6.15 on page 6-24.

| This letter corrects TS 6.15 on page 6-24 to account for the editorial changes. The errors contained in the issued TS 6.15 on page 6-24 have no impact on the SE or the SE conclusion that the licensee has adequately implemented its Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The WF3 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program continues to demonstrate acceptable performance of the containment and that the structural and leak-tight integrity of the containment structure is adequately managed and will continue to be periodically monitored and managed. The NRC staff continues to find that the licensee has addressed the NRC conditions to demonstrate acceptability of adopting NEI 94-01, Revision 2-A, without undue risk to public health and safety. | | This letter corrects TS 6.15 on page 6-24 to account for the editorial changes.

Vice President, Operations Entergy Operations, Inc. UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Semptember 3, 2015 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 17265 River Road Killona, LA 70057-3093
SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 -CORRECTION TO ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NO. 244 REGARDING EXTENSION OF THE INTEGRATED LEAK RATE TESTING TO 15 YEARS (TAC NO. MF4727)
Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter dated August 24, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15217A143), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (WF3) Technical Specification (TS) 6.15, "Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program," by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program," with a reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 94-01, Revision 2-A, "Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-Based Option of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J," as the implementation document used by Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) to develop the WF3 performance-based leakage testing program in accordance with Option B, "Performance Based Requirements," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix J, "Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors." The approval was in response to the Entergy LAR dated August 28, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14241A305), as supplemented by letters dated April 15, May 4, and June 18, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML15105A615, ML15124A946, and ML15169A180, respectively).
Subsequent to issuing the amendment, the NRC staff identified an error in the approved TS 6.15 on page 6-24. On page 7 of 23 in Attachment 1 to the May 4, 2015, supplement, editorial changes were made to TS 6.15 for clarification purposes, but a revised page 6-24 was not included in the supplement, and the amendment was issued without the editorial changes. The safety evaluation (SE) for the LAR did incorporate the editorial changes as a partial basis for its conclusion.
This letter corrects TS 6.15 on page 6-24 to account for the editorial changes. The errors contained in the issued TS 6.15 on page 6-24 have no impact on the SE or the SE conclusion that the licensee has adequately implemented its Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The WF3 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program continues to demonstrate acceptable performance of the containment and that the structural and leak-tight integrity of the containment structure is adequately managed and will continue to be periodically monitored and managed. The NRC staff continues to find that the licensee has addressed the NRC conditions to demonstrate acceptability of adopting NEI 94-01, Revision 2-A, without undue risk to public health and safety.
Vice President, Operations If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-3229 or Michael.Orenak@nrc.gov.
