EntergyNuclear Operations, Inc. submitted Relief Request No. 05 (IP2-ISI-RR-05) for Indian PointUnit No. 2 (IP2) to use an alternative to the 2007 Edition with the 2008 Addenda of ASMESection XI as augmented by Code Case N-729-4 requirements withlimitations/modifications for use stated in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D)(2).

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this relief request.

The acceptance review wasperformed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth toallow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review for this licensing action. Theacceptance review is also intended to identify whether the relief request has any readilyapparent information insufficiencies in the characterization of the regulatory requirements orthe licensing basis of the plant. The NRC staff has reviewed your request for relief and concluded that it provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the reliefrequest in terms of protection of public health and safety and the environment.

Given thelesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staff's ability tocomplete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequateacceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support theNRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that thereview of this relief request will take approximately 30 hours1.25 days <br />0.179 weeks <br />0.0411 months <br /> to complete.

The NRC staffexpects to complete this review by March 10, 2018. If there are emergent complexities orchallenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date(greater than a month) or significant changes in the forecasted hours (greater than 25%),the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated duringthe routine interactions with the assigned project manager.

These estimates are based onthe NRC staff's initial review of the application and they could change, due to severalfactors including requests for additional information, and unanticipated addition of scope tothe review. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advanceor in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
