Dear Sir:
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc (Entergy) is submitting additional information to support NRC review of an Inservice Inspection Program relief request submitted in Reference 1. Entergy previously submitted additional information in Reference 2 and during a followup telecom with NRC staff, the need for further clarification was identified. The requested information is provided in the Attachments to this letter.

Attachment 1 to NL-05-135 Docket 50-247 Page 1 of 5 The following clarifications requested by NRC were discussed during a conference call with Entergy personnel on November 15, 2005 and pertain to information submitted in Entergy letter NL-05-1 18 dated October 27, 2005.
NRC QUESTION:
Provide additional information regarding the hardship of complying with the hydrostatic pressure test requirements for the pipe segments described in line items 10 through 18 of the Attachment 2 Table in Entergy letter dated October 27, 2005.
These pipe segments are part of the Residual Heat Removal or Safety Injection systems and may be subject to alternate test pressures as previously approved by the NRC staff in ML050810464. Determine if the system design at Indian Point 2 supports the implementation of similar alternate test pressures.
ENTERGY RESPONSE:
Entergy is providing a revision of the previously submitted Pipe Segment Data Table to incorporate responses to the NRC followup questions regarding hardship and alternate test pressure for the pipe segments described by line items 10 through 18 in the Table.
The additional hardship information for line items 11 through 18 reflects the personnel safety and spill considerations associated with the use of temporary jumper hoses to bypass check valves. The additional hardship information for line item 10 reflects the need to bypass the pressure interlock in the control circuit for valve 731.
The table is also updated to document the proposed test pressure that Entergy has agreed to incorporate in this relief request. The RHR pipe segments in line items 10, 12, and 14 will be inspected at a pressure of at least 350 psig. The SI pipe segments in line items 11, 13, and 15 through 18 will be inspected at a pressure of at least 1450 psig. These inspections will meet the current VT-2 visual examination hold-time limits of 10 minutes for non-insulated components and 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for insulated components. It is reasonable to expect that the proposed test pressures and examination hold times will be sufficient to produce detectable leakage from significant service-induced degradation sources, if they exist, which satisfies the intent of the pressure test.
