SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL HELD ON APRIL 14, 2008, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC., CONCERNING RESPONSE TO AUDIT ITEM RELATED TO THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATIONSUBMERGED CABLES The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc (Entergy), held a telephone conference call on April 14, 2008, to obtain clarification on Entergys response to audit item 2 [license renewal application (LRA) Section 3.6-2]. By letter dated October 11, 2007, Entergy submitted a supplement to the LRA. In response to audit item 2, Entergy stated, [t]his is a lead sheathed solid dielectric insulated cable. The lead sheath prevents moisture in submerged cables from contacting the insulation, so water trees will not be formed. Entergy also stated, [a] lead sheathed cable is comparable to a submarine cable. The staff requested clarification regarding the comparability of a cable with a lead sheath to a submarine cable. Entergy answered the staffs questions regarding the cable design, installation, and environment. Based on the applicants answers, the staff determined that additional information would need to be submitted by the applicant to enable the staff to continue its review of this issue. Therefore, the staff will issue a formal request for additional information.
