July 10, 2007 MEMORANDUM TO: Pao-Tsin Kuo, Director Division of License Renewal FROM:
Bo M. Pham, Senior Project Manager /RA/
Environmental Review Branch B Division of License Renewal
SUBJECT:
CONFERENCE CALL
SUMMARY
REGARDING STATUS OF ACCEPTANCE REVIEW FOR THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION On June 6, 2007, The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) held a telephone conference with representatives from Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) to discuss a discrepancy regarding the information provided in the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 license renewal application (LRA). Specifically, the application indicated that a diesel generator provides emergency power for station blackout (SBO) and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix R events for Unit 2. However, the current licensing basis (CLB) for Unit 2 involves reliance on gas turbines for this function.
During the call, Entergy responded that the company has planned a modification to replace the gas turbines with the diesel generator for SBO and Appendix R prior to the staff's completion of the LRA review. The NRC staff stated that it understood Entergy's intention. However, it could not complete the acceptance review of the LRA with this discrepancy. The NRC staff also asked Entergy the time frame in which CLB information on the gas turbines could be submitted.
Entergy responded that it would look into the matter, but also countered that it would rather the staff review information on the diesel generator, since the gas turbines would become obsolete before the staff completes its review of the LRA. During the call, Entergy also proposed to make a commitment to implement the diesel generator modification prior to completion of the staff's LRA review. The NRC staff informed Entergy that it would evaluate that option.
The NRC staff ended the call by informing Entergy that it could not complete the acceptance review until the discrepancy is resolved. The staff also indicated that it would communicate the need to resolve this discrepancy in a formal letter to the applicant.
