UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 30, 2011 MEMORANDUM TO: Cayetano Santos, Chief Reactor Safety Branch A Office of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards FROM: David J. Wrona, Chief Projects Branch 2 UJ 0 V ~

SUBJECT:

FOWARDING OF SUPPLEMENT 2 TO NUREG-1891, "SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT RELATED TO THE LICENSE RENEWAL OF PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION, DOCKET NO. 50-293," TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS By letter dated January 25, 2006, Entergy Nuclear Operation, Inc. (Entergy), submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff) for renewal of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) operating licenses for an additional 20 years.

The staff issued the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for PNPS in June 2007, which summarized the results of its safety review of the renewal application for compliance with the requirements of Title 10, Part 54, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 54), "Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants." The staff issued Supplement 1 to the SER in September 2007, which documented the safety review results of the applicant's program to deal with the effects of reactor water environments on the fatigue life of reactor components. Subsequently, the staff issued NUREG-1891, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station," in November 2007, which included both the June 2007 SER and Supplement 1. The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) reviewed the September 2007 SER, including the Supplement 1 information, and issued its report to the Commission on September 26,2007.

The staff has prepared Supplement 2 to NUREG-1891 to document the staff's review of supplemental information to the license renewal application that the applicant has submitted subsequent to the issuance of Supplement 1. The staff is forwarding SER Suppiement 2 to the ACRS for the Committee's consideration. The supplement summarizes the staff's review of the applicant's additional information incorporating recent industry operating experience as well as annual updates required by 10 CFR 54.21 (b). The information and commitments contained in the supplement are similar to what the Committee has reviewed for other recently completed evaluations incorporating recent industry operating experience. The staff's conclusion, as discussed in Section 6 of the enclosed, is that the supplemental information provided by the applicant does not change the conclusion reached in the SER.
