As Indian Point Energy Center Status Report June 6, 2006 Operational Status IP2 is currently at 100% reactor power; the unit has been on line for 19 days and Unit 3 is operating at 100% reactor power and has been on-line for 247 days.

Groundwater Investigation - MW-42 Well Entergy released updated/corrected sample results today from a series of samples obtained from MW- "MW-42 9 42, which is located adjacent to the Unit I spent fuel pool. The results show isotopes characteristic of North curtain drain water. (See diagram showing updatedsample results). Hydrologists are investigating the possibility that the well intercepted a section of the North curtain drains at Unit 1. The updated sample results do not affect the bounding dose calculations. Results for tritium are lower than previously reported although the Cesium numbers are higher. An additional sample taken on April 7 showed results consistent with the 1020001 corrected data from March 23/24. 1 MW-42 @ 49' Sampled 19 49' April 7, 2006 L.IL..J d Results in pCi/L r H-3 3980 Sr-90 74.6 Cs-137 5310 Co-60 67.2 Entergy has initiated actions to reduce the I:
