River Bend Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-458 License No. NPF-47 1.
Letter from Paul D. Hinnenkamp to USNRC dated December 17, 2005 (RBG-46375)
Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter (Reference 1), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) proposed a change to the River Bend Station, Unit 1 (RBS) Technical Specifications (TSs) to revise the requirements for direct current (DC) sources in TS 3.8.4, 'DC Sources - Operating".
A revision to the original submittal (Reference 1) is provided in Attachment 1 to correct an error that was identified in the submittal. This error was discussed with Mike Webb, NRR Project Manager, following its discovery on February 16, 2005.
There are no technical changes proposed. The original no significant hazards consideration included in Reference 1 is not affected by any information contained in the supplemental letter. There are no new commitments contained in this letter.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Greg Norris at 225-336-6391.

RBG-46449 Page 2 of 2 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on June 29, 2005.
Sincerely, RJK/GPN Attachments:

O. Box 4312 Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4312 To RBG-46449 Revision to License Amendment Request, Amendment to Technical Specification 3.8.4 Actions for Inoperable Division 1 or 2 Battery Charger to RBG-46449 Page 1 of 1 License Amendment Request (LAR) 2004-27, "Amendment to Technical Specification 3.8.4, Actions for Inoperable Division 1 or 2 Battery Charger" dated December 17, 2005, contained an error with respect to one statement provided in the submittal. That statement from the submittal is underlined in the following excerpt from Attachment 1, Section 4.0 (Page 4 of 7) of the submittal:
"The SBO diesel is presently included within the scope of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants" at RBS. The backup batterV charger is also contained within this program with a Maintenance Rule function of providing backup power to Technical Support Center computers. Entergy will appropriately include in this program the backup battery charger function associated with supporting this proposed TS change."
This statement was included to indicate that a maintenance rule function for the referenced backup battery charger previously existed. It has since been determined that the Maintenance Rule function referenced in the amendment request was not for the backup battery charger BYS-CHRG1D, 125 VDC BACKUP BATT CHGR as discussed in the submittal.
Therefore, the statement is being revised to strike that sentence from the submittal and will now read:
"The SBO diesel is presently included within the scope of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants" at RBS. The backup battery charger is also contained within this program with a Maintenance Rule function of providing backup power to Technical Support Ccnter computers. Entergy will appropriately include in this program the backup battery charger function associated with supporting this proposed TS change."
This change also applies to a duplicate statement extracted to the List of Regulatory Commitments provided in Attachment 4 of the original submittal.
This issue has been documented and addressed by the Corrective Action Process at River Bend Station.
