REGION I

475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-1415 October 19, 2009 Mr. Joseph Pollock Site Vice President Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

Indian Point Energy Center 450 Broadway, GSB P.O. Box 249 Buchanan, NY 10511-0249 SUBJECT: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS 1,2 & 3 - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 05000003/2009008; 05000247/2009008; AND 05000286/2009008

Dear Mr. Pollock:

On September 4, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 1, 2, & 3. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 19 and September 4, 2009, with Mr. Don Mayer and other members of your staff.

' The purpose of this inspection was to assess the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of your Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Program; review the circumstances surrounding a previously identified occurrence involving the detection of tritated water in a Unit 3 storm drain system; review the performance of the site's Radiation Monitoring System; and inspect and assess your performance relative to radiological effluents monitoring and control.

The inspection involved an examination of activities conducted under Entergy's license as related to safety and compliance with the Commission's 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, interviews with personnel, and independent assessment activities.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified. Further, the inspectors determined that Entergy's Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Program for the .Indian Point Energy Center was effectively implemented and maintained in a manner that provided continued radiological monitoring of the groundwater conditions to confirm conformance with NRC regulatory requirements relative to the maintenance of public health and safety, and protection of the environment.

Since 2005, as approved by NRC's Executive Director of Operations, Region I conducted frequent and focused reviews of your groundwater investigation activities and long-term monitoring program that exceeded the scope of NRC's normal baseline inspection program. As a result, we have developed confidence in your commitment and ability to continue effective monitoring and assessment of the on-site conditions to assure the maintenance of public health and safety, protection of the environment, and conformance with NRC regulatory requirements. Our inspectors confirmed that the objectives specified in our deviation memorandum dated December 16,2008 (ML083590057) have been satisfied. However, we will continue to monitor your performance in this area, and will re-assess the need for continued heightened inspection oversight during our end-of-cycle review of your CY 2009 perfonmance.

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 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's 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).
