SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION This evaluation supports the Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) request to amend Facility Operating License NFP-47 for River Bend Station (RBS) Unit 1. The proposed changes would revise the Technical Specifications (TS) to remove the table of contents (TOC) from the TS and place it under licensee control.

2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The proposed change would remove the TOC from the TS and place it under Entergy (licensee) control. Note that no TS pages will be issued as a result of this proposed change. The TOC for the TS is not being eliminated. Following approval of this license amendment request (LAR), the responsibility for maintenance and issuance of updates to the TS TOC will transfer from the NRC to Entergy. The TOC will no longer be included in the TS and as such will no longer be part of the TS (Appendix A to the Operating License).

3. TECHNICAL EVALUATION The TOC does not meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.36 requiring its inclusion within a plant's TS. 10 CFR 50.36(b) states:

Each license authorizing operation of a production or utilization facility of a type described in § 50.21 or § 50.22 will include technical specifications. The technical specifications will be derived from the analyses and evaluation included in the safety analysis report, and amendments thereto, submitted pursuant to § 50.34.

The result of the Entergy review of 10 CFR 50.36 indicates that the TS TOC was not listed in the regulation as one of the categories listed in 10 CFR 50.36(c).

10 CFR 50.36(a) indicates that a license application may provide other information associated with the TS, and gives an example of this information, i.e., the TS Bases, but also clearly indicates that the Bases are not a part of the TS. 10 CFR 50.36(a)(l) states:

Each applicant for a license ... shall include in his application proposed technical specifications in accordance with the requirements of this section. A summary statement of the bases or reasons for such speCifications, other than those covering administrative controls, shall also be included in the application, but shall not become part of the technical specifications.

Additionally, the "Writer's Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications" (ITS)

(Reference 1) was reviewed for guidance. The writer's guide refers to the TOC as "Technical Specification Front Matter," which also includes the Title Page and List of Effective Pages. The writer's guide describes the TS content as starting with Chapter 1,"Use and Application," and does not include the TOC as part of the content of the TS.

A TOC for the TS will be maintained under Entergy control. The TOC will be issued by Entergy in conjunction with the implementation of NRC-approved T8 amendments.

4. REGULATORY EVALUATION 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50.36(a) states:

Each applicant for a license ... shall include in his application proposed technical specification in accordance with the requirements of this section. A summary statement of the bases or reasons for such specifications, other than those covering administrative controls, shall also be included in the application, but shall not become part of the technical specification.

Similar to the TS Bases, the TOe does not meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.36 for inclusion within a plant's TS.

Entergy has evaluated this change against the applicable regulatory requirements as described above. Based on this, there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public, following approval of this change will remain unaffected.

4.2 Precedent

• Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant License Amendment Nos. 293 and 269 were issued by the NRC on September 21,2009 (Reference 2).

• Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, License Amendment No. 152, was issued by the NRC on November 8,2007 (Reference 3).

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration Entergy has evaluated the proposed amendment in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 against the standards in 10 CFR 50.92 and has determined that the operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration. Entergy's evaluation against each of the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 is discussed below.

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or conseguences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment is administrative and affects control of a document, the TOC, listing the specifications in the plant TS. Transferring control from the NRC to Entergy does not affect the operation, physical configuration, 'or function of plant equipment or systems. The proposed amendment does not impact the initiators or assumptions of analyzed events; nor does it impact the mitigation of accidents or transient events.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Evaluation of Proposed Change RBG-47918 Page 4 of 5

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed change is administrative and does not alter the plant configuration, require installation of new equipment, alter assumptions about previously analyzed accidents, or impact the operation or function of plant equipment or systems. Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment is administrative. The TOC is not required by regulation to be in the TS. Removal does not impact any safety assumptions or have the potential to reduce a margin of safety. The proposed amendment involves a transfer of control of the TOC from the NRC to Entergy. No change in the technical content of the TS is involved.

Consequently, transfer from the NRC to Entergy has no impact on the margin of safety.

Therefore the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, Entergy has determined that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), in that it does not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operating in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulation, and (3) the issuances of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

The On-Site Safety Review Committee has reviewed this amendment and concurs with this conclusion.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The proposed amendment is confined to changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1 0). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
