Subject:
Notification of Unit 1 Transfer of 160 Spent Fuel Assemblies from the Spent Fuel Pool to the Indian Point Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation
Reference:
- 1.
Entergy letter "License Amendment Request Regarding Removal of Spent Fuel From Unit 1 and Drain Down of the Spent Fuel Pool (LAR for Amendment
- 54) dated June 26, 2008.
Dear Sir or Madam:
In Reference 1, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requested an amendment to the Operating License (OL) and the Technical Specifications (TS) for Indian Point Unit 1-(IP1). IPI is permanently shut down and is being maintained in the SAFSTOR mode.
In the same letter, Entergy requested that the proposed change to the OL and TS become effective subsequent to written notification to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by Entergy that all 160 spent fuel assemblies have been removed from the IP1 Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) and placed in the existing Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), Docket No. 72-51, located on the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) site.
This letter is to notify the NRC that Entergy has transferred all 160 spent fuel assemblies stored in the IPN SFP into dry cask storage and placed these stored assemblies on the existing ISFSI, located on the Indian Point site. The ISFSI is licensed under the general license provisions of 10 CFR 72 Sub Part K. Entergy has also drained down the IP1 SFP.
The new IP1 amendment will delete OL and TS requirements associated with the storage of spent fuel in the IP1 SFP. These requirements are no longer necessary since the stored spent fuel has been transferred to the ISFSI and is not reflective of the drained down condition of the IP1 SFP.
NL-08-173 Docket No.50-003 License No. DPR-5 Page 2 of 2 There are no new commitments identified in this submittal. If you have any questions or require additional, information, please contact Mr. Robert W. Walpole, Manager, Licensing, Indian Point Energy Center at (914) 734-6710.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the forgoing is true and correct.
Executed on December.L.L, 2008.
Sincerely yours, J.E. Pollock Site Vice President Indian Point Energy Center cc:
