Transmission of the Acceptance Review Result to Licensee and Request for Supplemental Information TAC No.: ME3678 Dave/Bob:

By letter dated March 31, 2010, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a License Amendment Request for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, regarding Technical Specification Changes and Analyses Relating to Use of Alternative Source Term.

In support of AST implementation and also in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Entergy included the request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for ANO-2.

The proposed amendment will modify TS requirements related to the use of an AST associated with accident offsite and control room dose consequences.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this relief request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it generally does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. However, before we can begin our detailed review, we request that Entergy provide, within the next 45 days, additional supplementary information, in the form of the design analyses used to determine the dose consequences for each of the design basis accidents that were analyzed.

If, after the detailed review of your application, additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1480.
