ENCLOSURE 2 TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., (Entergy) held a telephone conference call on September 16, 2014, to discuss and clarify the following request for additional information (RAI) concerning the license renewal application environmental review.
RAI Please provide data related to Entergys February 19, 2014 letter transmitting updated aquatic impact information two different formats, referred to here as Format 1 and Format 2. The NRC staff request the data as CSV (comma-separated variable) files with column formats specified below. The NRC staff request the data for taxon and region codes defined in Tables 1 and 2.
Table 1. Taxon Codes Taxon Species 1 Alewife 2 Bay Anchovy 3 American Shad 4 Bluefish 13 Hogchoker 19 Atlantic Menhaden 22 Blueback Herring 25 Rainbow Smelt 27 Shortnose Sturgeon 28 Spottail Shiner 29 Atlantic Sturgeon 30 Striped Bass 32 Atlantic Tomcod 34 White Catfish 35 White Perch 45 Weakfish 75 Gizzard Shad Format 1 Data: Please provide the following data from the Fall Shoals Survey (FSS), Beach Seine Survey (BSS) and Long River Survey (LRS):
(1) the unstandardized River Segment 4 annual densities (if AKRF calculated these as in the FSEIS as the 75th percentile of the weekly densities--if AKRF used some other measure, then please submit both that measure and the 75th percentile of the weekly densities) for each survey (FSS, BSS, and LRS);
Table 2. Region Codes Region River Region 1
YK (Mile 12-23) 2 TZ (Mile 24-33) 3 CH (Mile 34-38) 4 IP (Mile 39-46) 5 WP (Mile 47-55) 6 CW (Mile 56-61) 7 PK (Mile 62-76) 8 HP (Mile 77-85) 9 KG (Mile 86-93) 10 SG (Mile 94-106) 11 CS (Mile 107-124) 12 AL (Mile 125-152) 13 all regions 1 - 12 combined
(2) the unstandardized River Segment 4 annual CPUE (catch per unit effort) used in the AKRF analysis for each survey (FSS and LRS);
(3) the unstandardized Riverwide CPUE for each survey (FSS, BSS, and LRS); and (4) the Riverwide unstandardized abundance index (with an indication for each taxon of which sampling program was used for its construction) used by AKRF for trends analysis for each year and taxon listed in Table 1.
Note that the NRC staff recognizes that the updated analysis provided in the February 19 submittal used only YOY (young-of-the year) data collected during weeks 28 through 42 during the BSS, weeks 29 through 42 during the FSS, and weeks 17 through 27 for the LRS. Please provide the units for each measurement. The NRC staff requests that the format of each of these files be supplied in the format shown in Table 3, with each taxon in Table 1 presented in an individual column and each year presented in an individual row.
Table 3. Format for the nine Format 1 data files.
Year Alewife Bay Anchovy American Shad Bluefish Gizzard Shad 1985 2011 Format 2 Data: The NRC staff requests the weekly YOY density; weekly YOY catch; weekly total catch; weekly number of samples; and weekly volume sampled, all by year, region, and taxon for each sampling program (FSS, BSS, and LRS). Please provide the units for each measurement. Note, Region 13 as used in the tables of weekly catch is the total weekly catch from regions 1 - 12 as defined in Table 2. The format of each of these files is presented in Table 4.

After discussing each of the data tables, Entergy staff stated that they understood what information the NRC staff was requesting and that they would be able to provide that information. The NRC staff agreed to change the RAI to make clear that the analysis presented in Entergys February 19 submittal was based on data in a manner that was consistent with the NRC staffs analysis. As such, the NRC staff made the following change to the RAI:
Consistent with the analysis in the 2013 supplement to the final supplemental environmental impact statement, Note that the NRC staff notes recognizes that the updated analysis provided in the February 19 submittal used only YOY (young-of-the year) data collected during weeks 28 through 42 during the BSS, weeks 29 through 42 during the FSS, and weeks 17 through 27 for the LRS.
