SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (TAC NOS. MD5411 AND MD5412)

Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated April 23, 2007, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy), submitted an application and associated environmental report pursuant to Title 1 0 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR) Part 51 and 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating licenses for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC staff documented its findings related to the environmental review of Entergy's license renewal application in Supplement 38, Volumes 1 through 3, to NUREG-1437, "Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants," which was issued in December 2010, and in Supplement 38, Volume 4, which was issued in June 20, 2013.

By letter dated May 6, 2013, Entergy submitted completed engineering project cost estimates for Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMAs) previously identified as potentially cost-beneficial for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3, in their December 2009 submittal of revised SAMA analysis. Entergy submitted this information to support resolution of certain issues identified by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in its July 14, 2011, decision granting New York State's (NYS) motion for summary disposition of Consolidated Contention NYS-35/36.

The NRC staff is reviewing the information contained in the May 2013, letter and has identified in the attached enclosure areas where additional information is needed to complete the review.

Vice President, Operations Items in the enclosure were discussed with Mr. Robert Walpole, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is January 3, 2014. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-3306, or via e-mail at lois.james@nrc.gov.

Docket Nos. 50-247 and 50-286
