June 5, 2019 EA-18-020 Mr. John Dinelli, Site Vice President Entergy Operations, Inc.

17265 River Road Killona, LA 70057-0751

SUBJECT:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3, RESPONSE TO REPLY TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION EA-18-020 SUPPLEMENT

Dear Mr. Dinelli:

On July 20, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Notice of Violation to Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy), Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The finding and Notice of Violation were associated with the failure to establish appropriate design and procedures associated with providing electrical power using the N+1 FLEX diesel generator to support transition phase (Phase 2) strategies. These strategies are intended to maintain or restore the core cooling and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in mitigating a beyond-design-basis external event (Inspection Report 05000382/2017009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession (ADAMS) No. ML18201A492).

The Notice of Violation required Entergy to respond in writing within 30 days. You requested an extension of the 30 days by letter, dated August 9, 2018 (ML18221A639). This request was approved by letter, dated August 21, 2018 (ML18232A575). On September 12, 2018, you responded to the Notice of Violation by letter (ML18255A321). Our review concluded that a supplement to your initial response was necessary since you had not determined the corrective action option that you would implement to restore compliance. On May 17, 2019, you provided the supplement that was requested (ML19137A341).

We have reviewed your reply and found that it adequately describes your corrective actions and the date which you will restore full compliance. We will review your corrective actions during a future inspection.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

J. Dinelli 2 Please contact me at 817-200-1574 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
