LETTER NUMBER 2.13.005
Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 12, 2012, the NRC staff issued Reference 1 to request information associated with Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1 for Flooding. Item 2 of Enclosure 2 to Reference 1 requests an Integrated Assessment Report from plant sites whose reevaluated flooding hazard is not bounded by their current design basis. Further, Required Response 1 states: 'Within 60 days of the date of the NRC's issuance of guidance on implementation details of the Integrated Assessment Report, including criteria for identifying vulnerabilities, submit an approach for developing an Integrated Assessment Report including criteria for identifying vulnerabilities."
The following is Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc (Entergy) 60-day response to Required Response 1.
On November 30, 2012, the NRC issued the Reference 2 Interim Staff Guidance. Entergy commits to use the Reference 2 guidance as the approach for developing the NTTF 2.1 flooding Integrated Assessment Report for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station if the reevaluated flooding hazard is not bounded by the current design basis flooding evaluation.
