COMPLETION OF ACCEPTANCE REVIEW REGARDING STRETCH POWER UPRATE APPLICATION, INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 3 (TAC NO. MC3552)

Dear Mr. Kansler:

In letter dated June 3, 2004, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) submitted its application to increase the licensed thermal power level at Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 3 (IP3). The proposed amendment would allow the maximum authorized power level to be increased by 4.85% (stretch power uprate), from 3067.4 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3216 MWt.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of the application for IP3, which is based on the determination that sufficient information was provided to allow the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review. The review also ensures that the application adequately characterizes the regulatory requirements and licensing basis of the plant. On the basis of its review of the information provided in the application, the NRC staff has determined that ENO has provided the necessary information for the staff to begin a detailed technical review. The NRC staff expects to complete the detailed review by your requested date of March 2005.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-1457.

Sincerely,

/RA/
