Entergy Operations Inc.; Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2; License Amendment Application

Official abstract: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-6, issued to Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), for operation of Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2). The proposed amendment would revise the technical specifications (TSs) for ANO-2, by modifying the note associated with Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.1.3.1.2 to permit Control Element Assembly (CEA) 29 to be excluded from exercising for the remainder of Cycle 32. This change would allow CEA 29 to remain out of the exercising surveillance until the planned refueling outage 2R32, currently scheduled for September 2027.
