- NRC contractor VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION October 12, 2006 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., held a telephone conference call on October 12, 2006, to discuss and clarify the staffs request for additional information (RAI) and other issues concerning the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) license renewal application (LRA). The following issues were discussed during the telephone conference call:
RAI 2.3.3.11-5 License renewal drawing LRA-VY-191165-0, at location I-15 provides a continuation of a pipe section from the H2/O2 analyzers to drawing LRA-VY-E-75-002-0 that is within the scope of license renewal. However, the license renewal boundary could not be located on drawing LRA-VY-E-75-002-0. Provide additional information for the continuation of this pipe section to the license renewal boundary and justify the boundary locations with respect to the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 54.4(a).
Discussion: The staff requested clarification of the applicants response in their September 20, 2006, letter (License Renewal Application, Amendment 15) to this RAI. The staff requested the applicant further clarify where the H2/O2 analyzers piping continued to. The staff was still unclear upon review of the initial RAI response. The applicant provided sufficient information during the call to address the staffs concern.
