NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-368]


Entergy Operations, Inc.; Partial Denial of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
partially denied a request by Entergy Operations. Inc., (licensee) for 
an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-6 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, located in 
Pope County, Arkansas. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this 
amendment was published in the Federal Register on September 1, 1993 
(58 FR 46230).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specifications (TSs) to remove the cycle-specific variables 
from the TSs and control them under a new document called the Core 
Operating Limits Report (COLR), in accordance with Generic Letter (GL) 
88-16. In addition, the proposed amendment would also revise the 
definition of shutdown margin in TS 1.13.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request concerning 
the shutdown margin (SDM) definition, which is not related to GL 88-16, 
is denied since it does not accurately define the starting point for 
shutdown margin. The licensee was notified of the Commission's partial 
denial of the proposed change by a letter dated * * *
    By May 27, 1994, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to 
the partial denial described above. Any person whose interest may be 
affected by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to 
intervene.
    A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be 
filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Docketing and Services 
Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room, 
the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC 20555 by the 
above date.
    A copy of any petitions should also be sent to the Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555, and to Nicholas S. Reynolds, Esquire, Winston and Strawn, 1400 L 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20005-3502, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see: (1) The 
application for amendment dated July 22, 1993, as supplemented by 
letter dated October 20, 1993, and (2) the Commission's letter to the 
licensee dated * * *
    These documents are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the Tomlinson Library, Arkansas Tech 
University, Russellville, Arkansas 72801. A copy of item (2) may be 
obtained upon request addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention: Document Control Desk.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of April 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William D. Beckner,
Project Director, Project, Directorate IV-1, Division of Reactor 
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
