The NRC staff documented its findings related to the environmental review of Entergys license renewal application in Supplement 38 to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS)
(SEIS), which was issued in December 2010. In June 2013, NRC issued a final plant-specific supplement to the GEIS. The 2013 supplement to the final SEIS included corrections to impingement and entrainment data presented in the final SEIS, revised conclusions regarding thermal impacts based on newly available thermal plume studies, and an update of the status of the NRC's consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act with the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding the shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon.

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (TAC NOS. MD5411 AND MD5412)

Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated April 23, 2007, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy), submitted an application and associated environmental report pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 51 and 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3), for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC staff documented its findings related to the environmental review of Entergys license renewal application in Supplement 38 to NUREG-1437, Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS)

(SEIS), which was issued in December 2010. In June 2013, NRC issued a final plant-specific supplement to the GEIS. The 2013 supplement to the final SEIS included corrections to impingement and entrainment data presented in the final SEIS, revised conclusions regarding thermal impacts based on newly available thermal plume studies, and an update of the status of the NRC's consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act with the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding the shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon.

By letter dated February 19, 2014, Entergy submitted updated information relevant to the impacts from the operation of IP2 and IP3 on various aquatic species in the Hudson River. The NRC staff is reviewing the updated information, and has identified in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review. Further requests for additional information may be issued in the future.

Items in the enclosure were discussed with Ms. Dara Gray, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-287-9249, or by e-mail michael.wentzel@nrc.gov.

(1) the unstandardized River Segment 4 annual densities (if AKRF calculated these as in the FSEIS as the 75th percentile of the weekly densities--if AKRF used some other measure, then please submit both that measure and the 75th percentile of the weekly densities) for each survey (FSS, BSS, and LRS);

(2) the unstandardized River Segment 4 annual CPUE (catch per unit effort) used in the AKRF analysis for each survey (FSS and LRS);

(3) the unstandardized Riverwide CPUE for each survey (FSS, BSS, and LRS); and (4) the Riverwide unstandardized abundance index (with an indication for each taxon of which sampling program was used for its construction) used by AKRF for trends analysis for each year and taxon listed in Table 1.
