CLARIFICATION ON RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION May 30, 2008 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. held a telephone conference call on May 30, 2008, to discuss and clarify the following responses to a request for additional information (RAI) concerning the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 license renewal application (LRA).

By letter dated February 13, the staff requested additional information regarding the auxiliary feedwater system, among other items. By letter dated March 12, 2008, Entergy responded to the staffs RAI.

Upon review of the information contained in Entergys response letter, the staff determined that additional clarification was warranted. The items requiring clarification are discussed below.

1. In response to RAI 2.3A.4.2-2, Entergy identified components that are not highlighted on a license renewal drawing but that may need to be considered for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2). The staff had asked for the extent of condition. Upon further review of the drawing, the staff identified the lines containing the following components that were also not highlighted, but not identified by the applicant in its response: CT-709, CT-710, and CT-711. The staff needed clarification on whether the components in question are within the scope of license renewal or if they are evaluated within another system.

Applicants clarification:

The line containing valve CT-711 is within the scope of license renewal because it meets the criterion in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1), and is evaluated in the auxiliary feedwater system (AFW). The line and the valve were inadvertently not highlighted on the license renewal drawing.

The lines containing valves CT-709 and CT-710 are within the scope of license renewal because they meet the criterion for spatial interaction in 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2), and are evaluated in the condensate system.

Entergy further clarified that components that are/form part of the pressure boundary for the AFW system are in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(1) and are evaluated within the AFW system.

However, components that are attached to or could spatially interact with safety-related components are in scope for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) and are evaluated with the condensate system or other system as appropriate.

Staff Correction:

During the telephone conference, the staff informed the applicant of two RAI numbering/naming errors:

1. RAI 2.3A.4.2-2, in letter dated February 13, 2008, refers to the auxiliary feedwater system, but is numbered for inclusion in the main feedwater system. In the Safety Evaluation Report, this RAI and its response will be discussed in Section 2.3A.4.3.

ENCLOSURE 2

2. In letters dated December 7, 2007, and February 13, 2008, the staff issued two RAIs numbered identically (i.e., RAI 2.3A.3.14-2). Both RAIs and the respective responses will be discussed in SER Section 2.3A.3.14 and will be referred to by number and dates of letters.
