(NEC) files the following reply to the Entergy and NRC Staff Answers to NEC's Motion to File a Timely New or Amended Contention.
NEC agrees with Entergy that further proceedings on NEC's New or Amended Contention addressing Entergy's preliminary environmentally assisted metal fatigue analysis should be held in abeyance pending NEC's review of Entergy's final environmentally assisted metal fatigue analysis. NEC received Entergy's reports of this final analysis on August 3, 2007. NEC may file a new Contention addressing them by September 3, 2007, which would supersede NEC's New or Amended Contention. Initial Scheduling Order ¶ 5(B).
NEC's original Contention 2 should also be held in abeyance, pending resolution of NEC's new Contention concerning the validity of Entergy's revised fatigue analysis.
NEC disagrees with Entergy that NEC's original Contention 2 should now be dismissed.
NEC's original Contention 2 is that Entergy's License Renewal Application (LRA) does not include any specific plan to monitor and manage reactor components identified in i em a ey

LRA Table 4.3-3 as vulnerable to environmentally assisted fatigue failure during the license renewal period. If NEC prevails in its new Contention that Entergy's revised fatigue analysis fails to demonstrate that these components are safe from fatigue failure, then NEC's Contention 2 remains relevant, and the Board should. adjudicate it.
