Issuance of Draft Supplement to the Indian Point FSEIS Attachments: Letter to Entergy, Notice of Availability (ML15328A222).pdf; Indian Point FRN (ML15329A082).pdf

Dara, We are issuing the FSEIS supplement today. Attached, please find a copy of our letter to Entergy and a copy of the FRN being transmitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. To conserve inbox space, I am sending you a link to the supplement, rather than a copy.

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1535/ML15351A422.pdf For your information, we are distributing the supplement mostly in electronic form. I am planning to send one hard copy to the addressee of the letter, and then I will send the extra copies to the Regulatory Affairs address, as discussed last week. That way, you can make sure that those that would prefer a hard copy get one.

If you have any questions, please let me know. If I dont speak to you before then, have a Happy Holiday season.

Thanks, Mike Michael Wentzel Project Manager NRR/DLR/RPB2 (301) 415-6459 michael.wentzel@nrc.gov 1

II. Background The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft supplement to Supplement 38 to the GEIS, NUREG-1437 (ADAMS No. ML15351A422), regarding the renewal of operating licenses DPR-26 and DPR-64, held by Entergy for the operation of IP2 and IP3, for an additional 20 years of operation. IP2 and IP3 are located in Westchester County in the Village of Buchanan, New York, approximately 24 miles north of New York City. The NRC staff published final plant-specific Supplement 38 to NUREG-1437 (final supplemental environmental impact statement (FSEIS)), Volumes 1-3 (ADAMS No. ML103360205), in December 2010 (75 FR 77920). The FSEIS documented the NRC staffs findings relative to the environmental impacts of the license renewal of IP2 and IP3. In June 2013 (78 FR 39018), the NRC staff published a final supplement to 2010 FSEIS as NUREG-1437, Supplement 38, Volume 4 (ADAMS No.

ML13170A028). The June 2013 supplement updated the NRC staffs final analysis to include corrections to impingement and entrainment data presented in the FSEIS; revised conclusions on thermal impacts based on newly available thermal plume studies; and provided an update of the status of the NRCs consultation, under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, with the National Marine Fisheries Service regarding the shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon.

On September 2, 2014 (79 FR 52059), the NRC notified the public of its intent to prepare a second supplement to the FSEIS to evaluate new information identified subsequent to the publication of the June 2013 supplement, including new aquatic impact data, refined cost estimates associated with the licensees severe accident mitigation alternatives analysis, and

other matters. This draft supplement, published as Volume 5 of the FSEIS, documents the NRC staffs evaluation of the new information.

Documents related to this notice are available on the NRCs Plant Application for License Renewal Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/indian-point.html. A copy of documents related to this notice also will be available to local residents near the site at the White Plains Public Library located at 100 Martine Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601; at the Hendrick Hudson Free Library located at 185 Kings Ferry Road, Montrose, NY 10548; and at the Field Library located at 4 Nelson Avenue, Peekskill, NY 10566.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of December 2015.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
