SUMMARY
OF PUBLIC AUDIT STATUS BRIEFING WITH ENTERGYNUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC., ON LICENSE RENEWAL SCOPING AND SCREENING METHODOLOGY AND THE AGING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND THE AGING MANAGEMENT REVIEW AUDITS FOR THE PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION (TAC NO. MC 9669)The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted a public audit status briefingmeeting with Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy). The public meeting was conducted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, in the Duxbury Room at the Radisson Hotel Plymouth Harbor Ballroom, 180 Water Street, Plymouth, Massachusetts. The subject of the meeting was to summarize the staff's audit findings associated with the scoping and screening methodology and the aging management program (AMP) and aging management review (AMR) audits of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station license renewal application (LRA). Twenty-three people attended the meeting which included members of the NRC staff, Entergy and a few citizensfrom the town of Plymouth, MA (Enclosure). This was a Category 1 Meeting. The following is a summary of the meeting.The Project Manager for the LRA provided an introduction and said that since May 2006, thestaff conducted on-site audits on scoping and screening methodology, AMPs, AMRs and TLAAs on the information that Entergy submitted in the renewal application. One of themilestones of the project was to provide feedback on the ongoing review process. In fullfillingthat objective, on July 19, 2006, the staff met with the applicant to discuss the status of theaudits and also share the results with the public. The team leader for the scoping and screening methodology audit presented his findings on theportion of his audit as follows. During the week of June 6-9, 2006, the staff conducted a scoping and screening methodology audit at the Entergy Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Theaudit activities included a detailed review of the scoping and screening methodology and implementation of that methodology for the evaluation of plant mechanical and electricalsystems, as well as structures, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 54.4(a) and 10 CFR 54.21, respectively. As a result of this audit, the staff gained valuable insights regarding the scoping and screening implementation processes and identified several areas where additional information will be required to complete the staff's final safety determination. At the end of the audit the staff needed additional information from the applicant and issued three requests for additional information. These related to (1) non-safety structure, system, andcomponents (SSCs) affecting safety-related SSCs, (2) quality control requirements applied to certain AMP attributes, and (3) the evaluation of SSCs credited for design-basis events. The team leader for the AMP/AMR audits presented his findings on the portion of his audits asfollows. During the weeks of May 22-26, 2006, June 19-23, 2006 and July 17 and 18, 2006, staff conducted the AMP/AMR audits at the Entergy Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. NRCperforms audits early in the license renewal review process to evaluate whether the application is consistent with established guidance and NRC staff positions. The purpose of this auditstatus briefing was to summarize the audit findings and to provide the status of questions posed to the applicant during the audits. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station submitted 38 AMPs and the safety audit team reviewed 37 of the programs. The remaining program was reviewed by NRC headquarters staff. In addition, the applicant added a new AMP on bolting integrity, which was not included in the original LRA. The audit team performed reviews on approximately 2800 components included in the various system that were scoped in the application. An AMR liststhe component, what the component is made from, the environment the component is exposedto, the anticipated aging effect(s), and the AMP or programs that is credited to manage theaging effects during the period of extended operation. There were 329 staff questions submitted to the applicant and the answers to 328 of the questions were found to be acceptable and documented as a part of the audits. This document was made available at the public meeting for interested members of the public (ML061940175). The ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html on the NRC website.

At theend of the audit the staff needed additional information from the applicant on the one remaining item and this was issued as request for additional information. The public was invited to observe the meeting and had an opportunity to communicate with theNRC staff after the business portion, but before the meeting was adjourned. The staff alsostayed behind and met with a few interested members of the public and addressed their specific questions personally. During the public question session one concerned citizen, Ms. Marie Fehlow, a resident of Plymouth, stated she had provided written comments on the publicfeedback form during the end-of-cycle meetings in 2004 and 2005, participated by the SeniorResident Inspector at the Pilgrim Nuclear Station. Although she requested on the forms thatNRC contact her, she was never contacted. The senior resident inspector who was present forthe July 19, 2006 meeting met with Ms. Fehlow after the formal meeting to apologize for the NRC's lack of response and obtained specifics on her concerns. Region I will be following-upwith her on this matter further./RA/Ram Subbaratnam, Project ManagerLicense Renewal Branch A Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor RegulationDocket No. 50-293
