The staff and Entergy also discussed the need for commitments to evaluate torus anchor bolts and grout, and the need to confirm the 50 and 100 year flood plans do not impact the torus and surrounding equipment. Entergy described the inspections performed during outages that ensure any water leakage is documented. Entergy stated that no leakage has ever been documented.
