REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING AMENDMENT APPLICATION FOR THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ON BATTERY CAPACITY ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC.
INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO.2 DOCKET NO. 50-247 By letter dated March 29, 2009, Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090980300, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc, (the licensee) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-26 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit NO.2 (IP2), and Appendix A, Technical Specifications (TSs), of the Facility Operating License. The proposed change would revise the battery capacity acceptance criterion specified in TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.6.6. Specifically, the proposed change would modify SR 3.8.6.6 by establishing a more restrictive acceptance criterion regarding periodic verification of battery capacity to ensure the IP2 batteries can perform their intended design functions. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is reviewing the submittal and has the following question:
In the license amendment request, the licensee proposed revising the battery capacity acceptance criterion specified in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.6.6.
Please provide the full calculation for the proposed capacity rating, including assumptions and supporting documentation, to show that the 125 Volt direct current batteries will perform their intended design functions.
