ME0917 Indian Point 2 license amendment request, NRC accepts for review ADAMSAccessionNumber:ML091120237 By letter dated March 25, 2009, ADAMS Accession No. ML090900511, Entergy submitted a license amendment for Indian Point Unit 2. The proposed amendment would add 2 emergency core cooling system valves to Technical Specification surveillance requirement SR 3.5.2.1, which would require that every 7 days it would be verified that the power to the valves was removed, and the valves were in the correct position. The purpose of this email is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested and follow, as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-2901.
