SUBJECT:

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT 2 - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000247/2005004

Dear Mr. Dacimo:

On September 30, 2005 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2 (IP2). The enclosed integrated inspection report documents an inspection finding, which was discussed on October 19, 2005, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of the inspection, one finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified. This finding was determined to be a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance, and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A. of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point 2.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

Mr. Fred Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,
