License Renewal Status
- Entergys license renewal application was docketed in 2007
- Indian Point 2 entered the period of extended operation (PEO) on September 28, 2013 and its license remains valid and in effect under the timely renewal provision of federal regulations
- Indian Point 3 will enter the PEO on December 12, 2015, also under the timely renewal provision
- The license renewal project, ongoing for more than 7 years, is very comprehensive. More than 33,000 man-hours of engineering evaluations, procedure development, and inspections for commitment implementation
- Ongoing Adjudicatory proceedings address two New York State issues:
- Obtaining a 401 Water Quality Certificate
- Obtaining consistency certification with Coastal Zone Management Act 6
License Renewal Status (cont.)
- NRC issued a supplement to the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) in June 2013. A second supplement is scheduled to be issued in March 2016, with a draft due in July 2015
- The NRC issued a safety evaluation report (SER) in 2009 and supplements to the SER in 2011 and 2014, all supporting continued operation of both units
- There are no SER open items
- The ACRS License Renewal Subcommittee met in March of 2009 and the full Committee met in September of 2009 to review the IPEC license renewal application and SER
- Hearings are ongoing before the Atomic Safety and License Board (ASLB). Thirteen of sixteen admitted contentions have been settled, resolved or appealed. Hearings for the remaining three contentions are planned for later this year 7
Timely Renewal Activities Indian Point Unit 2
- Commitments, which include inspections, due before entering the PEO were completed as required
- Subsequent aging management activities are scheduled and completed as IP2 continues through the PEO
- Aging management programs are described in the updated FSAR which was updated prior to entering the PEO 8
Planned Timely Renewal Activities Indian Point Unit 3
- Commitments, which include inspections, due before entering the PEO are either completed or scheduled to be completed before December 12, 2015
- Inspections requiring the plant to be shutdown are complete
- Subsequent aging management activities will be scheduled and completed as IP3 continues into the PEO
- Aging management program descriptions will be included in the Updated FSAR before entering the PEO 9
Timely Renewal Activities (cont.)
LR Commitment 19 -One-Time Inspection (OTI) Program (Required prior to PEO)
IP2 One-Time Inspection Program
- Performed OTI for 437 samples

Reactor Vessel Internals Program
- The NRC has reviewed and approved the IPEC Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI) Program (based on MRP-227-A) as documented in Supplement 2 to the Safety Evaluation Report. The NRC review included the detailed RVI inspection plan that implements the elements of the RVI Aging Management Plan and fulfills License Renewal Application Commitment 30
- Inspections of all MRP-227-A primary components (including over 4700 specific inspections) are scheduled for the Spring of 2016 (IP2) and Spring of 2019 (IP3)
- Industry MRP-227-A inspections performed to date have found no issues with RV internals, other than isolated cracking of baffle-to-former bolts
- Based on the industry OE, IPEC will have a baffle bolt minimum pattern analysis to document that cracking of small numbers of bolts has no impact on the structural integrity of the baffle-former assembly
- IP2 is planning on replacing the split pins during the 2016 refueling outage with cold-worked 316 stainless steel which is degradation resistant. IP3 replaced their split pins with cold-worked 316 stainless steel in 2009 16
Underground Piping
- Underground piping is defined as below grade, in contact with air and with limited accessibility
- The program was changed to reflect new regulatory guidance
- All underground piping inspections due prior to entering the PEO were completed at IP2. No adverse conditions were identified. All underground piping at IP2 has been coated with a qualified coating
- Approximately 50% of the pre-PEO underground piping inspections have been completed at IP3. The remainder of the inspections are scheduled for this upcoming Summer. No adverse conditions have been identified to date 17
Buried Piping
- Buried piping is defined as below grade and in contact with soil
- All buried piping inspections due prior to entering the PEO have been completed at both IP2 and at IP3. The inspection results have demonstrated that the piping and the protective coating are generally in good condition.
Some minor coating degradation has been identified and corrected
- There have been two exceptions where some moderate corrosion has been identified. One was a 2009 through-wall leak in the IP2 Condensate Storage Tank piping (discussed in the September 2009 ACRS) and the other was degradation in a Service Water line (two areas of degradation) in 2014 at IP3. Both locations have been repaired
- In both instances, the affected piping remained structurally capable of performing its intended safety function 18
Buried Piping (cont.)
- There is approximately 16,000 feet of buried piping within the scope of license renewal at IPEC (i.e. both units combined)
- We have conservatively inspected in excess of 1,000 feet of buried piping at each Unit (2,000 feet total)
- IP2 committed to inspect (direct visual inspections) 20 carbon steel locations prior to the PEO (IP2 does not have any buried stainless steel piping)
- IP3 committed to inspect 11 carbon steel and 3 stainless steel buried piping locations prior to the PEO
- IP2 committed to inspect 14 carbon steel locations and IP3 committed to inspect 14 carbon steel and 2 stainless steel buried piping locations during each of the 10-year period during the PEO 19
Buried piping - Cathodic Protection (CP)
- Targeted CP systems have been installed to protect specific areas where vulnerabilities have been identified
- These include some City Water piping and Condensate Storage Tank piping at both IP2 and IP3
- These CP systems provide some corrosion protection but not the full protection because of the non-conductive nature of the IPEC site geology
- The main corrosion protection barrier for buried piping at IPEC is the bitumastic protective coating
- Since the full CP protection levels are not achievable at IPEC, the installed CP systems are not credited in establishing the inspection population which results in a larger direct visual inspection population 20
Program Changes
- Examples of program changes
- Buried Piping - Omission and corrections related to systems and components credited in AFW pump room fire (added IP1 river water, IP2 Circulating Water and IP2 Instrument Air)
- Metal-Enclosed Bus Inspection Program Metal-enclosed bus associated with Diesel Fire Pump is not required to start the diesel since it only provides power to charge the batteries and was removed from program
- Structures Monitoring Program
- sump screens, strainers and flow barriers removed from program if they were changed to stainless steel in an air-indoor uncontrolled environment
- External surface Monitoring program
- some carbon steel piping and filter housing exposed externally to indoor air added to be managed for loss of material by the program
- carbon steel piping and filter housings and gray cast iron turbochargers exposed internally to indoor air removed from program since they were associated with GT3 which is no longer credited 21
Program Changes (cont.)
- Oil Analysis Program - Added copper alloy greater than 15% zinc (inhibited) heat exchanger tubes which are exposed externally to lubricating oil
- Tables in LRA revised to add or delete components based on annual update submittals - programs looking for loss of material due to general, pitting and crevice corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion, fouling and lining/coating degradation
- Elastomer Degradation - materials added
- Service Water System - Plastic piping exposed internally to raw water and externally to indoor air added to a table in the LRA
- Fuel Oil System added copper alloy with greater than 15% zinc then removed because GT-3 no longer credited
- Water treatment plant, City Water system, Lube Oil Systems - components added 22
Concluding Remarks
- Unit 3 is being prepared to enter the PEO as was done for Unit 2
- License renewal activities are being or will be conducted as if the plants had received a renewed license
- Entergy continues to make investments into the plants to ensure safe and reliable operation
- IPEC is consistently operating with capacity factors above 90%
