Dear Sir or Madam:

In accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (b), each year following submittal of the license renewal application and at least 3 months before scheduled completion of the NRC review, an amendment to the renewal application must be submitted that identifies any change to the CLB of the facility that materially affects the contents of the license renewal application (LRA), including the FSAR supplement. In the referenced letters, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. applied for renewal of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 operating licenses. This letter provides Amendment 18 of the Indian Poiryt Units 2 and 3 license renewal application. There are no new commitments being made in this submittal. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mr. Robert W. Walpole, Licensing Manager, at (914) 254-6710.

NL-16-138 Page 1 of 11 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT Nos. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ANNUAL AMENDMENT In accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (b), each year following submittal of the license renewal application and at least 3 months before scheduled completion of the NRC review, an amendment to the renewal application must be submitted that identifies any change to the CLB of the facility that materially affects the contents of the license renewal application (LRA), including the FSAR supplement. This attachment is the required annual amendment to the LRA. Amendment 18 is based on a review of documents potentially affecting the CLB during the periods of September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016. The review concluded that certain sections of the LRA are affected by changes to CLB documents and other related LRA reviews. The table below summarizes the changes listing the affected system (if applicable), an explanation of the change (including effect on the LRA), and the affected LRA section. Affected LRA Sections Change LRA Section Affected IP3 - EC 46625 Permanently repaired pipe (line # Table 3.3.2-17-IP3 1033) with a pressure retaining clamp and using CSI Pipe Wrap-Ply material (carbon fiber) applied on the exterior circumference of the pipe and clamp.

NL-16-138 Page 2of11 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 Change LRA Section Affected I I I IP3 - EC 59472 & NL-15-014 & RA-15-115 LRA Section 4.2.3 states "Technical Specifications contain pressure/temperature limits valid through 34 EFPY ... ". This EC extends the PIT limits to a lifetime burnup of 37 EFPY. LRA Section 4.2.3 is revised to eliminate "valid through 34 EFPY." Section 4.2.3 The validity period for the PIT limits is stated in the Technical Specification section containing the limits. The period of validity can change during normal operations as governed by 10 CFR 50.61 requirements. There is no need to state in the LRA the EFPY for which the limits are applicable. It is sufficient to indicate that the limits, and the period for which the limits are valid, are found in the Technical Specifications.

Piping penetrations through the containment cylinder wall associated with pipes carrying hot fluid are cooled using air-to-air heat exchangers and the pipes are insulated to maintain the temperature in the adjoining concrete below 2GG250°F. NUREG-1801 allows for concrete temperatures higher than 200°F for local areas if tests or calculations are provided to evaluate the reduction in strength. Concrete associated with the Unit 3 hot piping penetrations has been evaluated and determined acceptable at temperatures up to 250°F.

During normal operation, bulk average temperature of Groups 1-5 concrete elements is maintained below 150°F and local temperatures remain below 200250°F. NUREG-1801 allows for concrete temperatures higher than 200°F for local areas if tests or calculations are provided to evaluate the reduction in strength. Concrete associated with the hot piping Unit 3 penetrations has been evaluated and determined acceptable at temperatures up to 250°F.

At present, plate 82803-3 with an initial RTNDT of 74 °F restricts operation (P-T) in the 150-250°F range. Resolution to the P-T operating window is a current operating term issue and will be resolved three years prior to reaching the RTPTS screening criterion per 10 CFR 50.61 requirements.

NL-16-138 Page 8of11 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Attachment 1 The P-T limit curves will continue to be updated, as required by Appendix G of 10 CFR Part 50 or as operational needs dictate. This . updating will assure that the operational limits remain valid through the period of extended operation. Additional P-T limit analysis is not required at this time. Maintaining the P-T limit curves in accordance with Appendix G of 10 CFR 50 assures that the effects of aging on the intended function(s) will be adequately managed for the period of extended operation consistent with 10 CFR 54.21 (c)(1 )(iii). 2.3.2.5 Containment Penetrations System Descrjption Containment penetrations have the following intended function for 10CFR54.4( a)( 1).

• Prevent release of radioactivity to outside environment.

Containment penetrations have no intended functions for 10CFR54.4(a)(2). or (a)(3). Containment penetrations have the following intended funstion for 10CFR54.4(a)(3).

System Description

The compressed air systems include the instrument air (IA) and station air (SA) subsystems. Instrument Air The IA system has the following intended functions for 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).

• Provide a source of compressed gas for pneumatically operated components for the Appendix R event (10 CFR 50.48).

       *Enable charging pump 21 to be run at high speed without the need for operator actions outside the CCR in response to a fire for the Appendix R event (1 O CFR 50.48).

• Provide optional capability. located in the CCR. to bypass the existing manual containment isolation valves allowing the instrument air flow to reach the Fan House Safe Shut Down Panel in case of fire inside containment to support the Alternate Safe Shutdown System (ASSS).

       *Support safe shutdown in the event of a fire in the auxiliary feed pump room (10 CFR 50.48) (see Section 2.3.4.5).

A.2.1.11 Fatigue Monitoring Program The Fatigue Monitoring Program is an existing program that tracks the number of critical thermal and pressure transients for selected reactor coolant system components. The program ensures the validity of analyses that explicitly analyzed a specified number of fatigue transients by assuring that the actual effective number of transients does not exceed the analyzed number of transients. The program provides for update of the fatigue usage calculations to maintain a cumulative use usage factor fCUFl of< 1.0 for the period of extended operation. For the locations identified in Section A.2.2.2.46, updated calculations will account for the effects of the reactor water environment.

The program ensures the validity of analyses that explicitly analyzed a specified number of fatigue transients by assuring that the actual effective number of transients does not exceed the analyzed number of transients. The program provides for update of the fatigue usage calculations to maintain a cumulative usage factor {CU Fl of < 1.0 for the period of extended operation. For the locations identified in LRA Table 4.3-13 (IP2) and LRA Table 4.3-14 (IP3}, updated calculations will account for the effects of the reactor water environment. These calculation updates are governed by Entergy's 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Quality Assurance (QA) program and include design input verification and independent reviews ensuring that valid assumptions, transients, cycles, external loadings, analysis methods, and environmental fatigue life correction factors will be used in the fatigue analyses.}}
