SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS 2 AND 3 (REPORTS 05000247/2011001 AND 05000286/2011001)

Dear Mr. Ventosa:

On February 14, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 (Indian Point). The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRCs assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.

The NRC determined that overall, Indian Point Units 2 and 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the plant performance at Indian Point Units 2 and 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2013. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle performance review. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Temporary Instruction 2515/182, Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. Also, we have scheduled a review of your proposed commitments made during the license renewal application process, regarding Indian Point Unit 2. This activity will include an inspector review of Aging Management Program (AMP) implementation and will be conducted using Temporary Instruction 2516/001, "Review of License Renewal Activities." The overall purpose of the review is to assess progress of your voluntary actions associated with monitoring passive components within the scope of license renewal and as tentatively accepted by the staff's safety evaluation report. The Temporary Instruction is available on the NRC Web site at:

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1106/ML110620255.pdf The NRC previously budgeted and completed inspections at Indian Point Units 2 and 3 considering each unit as a single reactor site. This approach was based on the historical differences involving ownership and operation of each unit by different utilities with separate organizations. Since 2001, Entergy has been the sole owner and operator of Indian Point Units 2 and 3, and has consolidated and implemented plant programs and processes. As a result, insights from our inspections on one unit are generally applicable to the other unit. Beginning January 1, 2012, the NRC implemented a modified inspection program that performs major team inspections, with the exception of licensed operator programs and triennial fire protection inspections, on a site basis verses a unit basis. This is reflected in the attached inspection plans for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 which have team inspections scheduled concurrently on both units. The NRC will monitor the results of these team inspections and inform you regarding changes to our inspection plans in the future. Additionally, beginning with the 2012 mid-cycle assessment, the NRC will assess your performance with regard to cross-cutting issues on a site basis instead of a unit basis. The resident inspector staff and their inspection activities are not affected by these changes.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact Mel Gray at 610-337-5209 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
