SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CALL HELD ON NOVEMBER 3, 2009, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC., CONCERNING METEOROLOGICAL DATA USED FOR THE SEVERE ACCIDENT MITIGATION ALTERNATIVE ANALYSES Representatives of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (Entergy or the applicant) held a telephone call on November 3, 2009, to obtain clarification on how the meteorological data that were used in the severe accident mitigation alternatives (SAMA) were averaged. As stated in the Environmental Report five recent years of data were averaged and used as input for the MACCS2 analysis; however, the applicant did not describe how the averaging of the data was conducted.

During the call, the staff asked Entergy to describe how it averaged the data, and to verify the data for wind direction. Entergy stated that it averaged five years worth of meteorological data.

For each year, there are 8,760 data points. The applicant stated that it averaged each corresponding data point (i.e., same data point for each year) for all five years. It clarified that it averaged each parameter separately, i.e., wind speed, direction, precipitation, and humidity.

The applicant stated that it will confirm with its contractor how the data were averaged, and indicated that another phone call might be needed.

The enclosure provides a listing of the participants.

The applicant had an opportunity to comment on this summary.
