SUBJECT:
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE AUDIT REGARDING JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO.
MD2667)
Dear Mr. Kansler:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the Environmental Report submitted by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., in support of its application for license renewal for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) and plans to conduct its environmental site audit at JAFNPP during the week of December 4, 2006. To develop the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for JAFNPP license renewal, the NRC staff requests that the items described in the enclosed list be made available to the extent possible during the JAFNPP environmental site audit. The NRC staff transmitted this list to members of your staff informally via email on November 13, 2006. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-4049 or via e-mail at shq@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License Renewal Information Needs The NRC staff has reviewed Appendix E, Environmental Report, of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) license renewal application and have found that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 51.45. However, in order to develop the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for license renewal, a number of informational needs have been identified and are outlined below. The NRC staff would appreciate if you could make the following documents available during the environmental site audit at JAFNPP to be conducted on December 5, 2006.
