JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., held a telephone conference calls on January 31, 2007 and February 13, 2007, to discuss and clarify the following draft requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning Section 4.2.2, Leak Before Break for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP), license renewal application (LRA).
addressing the following points:1. Remove all references to "Leak Before Break (LBB)," as the TLAA being discussed                   clearly predates the formal concept of Leak Before Break documented in Standard Review Plan Section 3.6.3.
RAI 4.7.2 Leak Before Break (January 31, 2007)
: 2. Rename the section with a title that describes the primary purpose of the analysis in                   FSAR 16.3.2 (see also the staff's original SER for licensing of the facility, Section 5.2.2).3. Discuss the specific "time limited part" of the original analysis and provide a description               of the "plant modifications" (or non-installations) which were permitted based on the original analysis including locations, or systems, in the plant to which the "modifications" were permitted.4. Conclude with an explanation of how the TLAA will be addressed in the context of the                 ongoing LRA review OR include a commitment to submit the completed TLAA for review at least 2 years prior to entering the period of extended operation. Based on the above information, RAI 4.7.2 was issued to the applicant by letter datedFebruary 23, 2007.
Discussion: The teleconference was conducted on January 31, 2007, to discuss Section 4.7.2, Leak Before Break, of the JAFNPP LRA.

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., held a telephone conference calls on January 31, 2007 and February 13, 2007, to discuss and clarify the following draft requests for additional information (RAIs) concerning Section 4.2.2, Leak Before Break for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP), license renewal application (LRA).

RAI 4.7.2 Leak Before Break (January 31, 2007)

Discussion: The teleconference was conducted on January 31, 2007, to discuss Section 4.7.2, Leak Before Break, of the JAFNPP LRA. The NRC questioned the use of the calculation identified in Section 4.7.2 of the LRA. The NRC staff specifically asked if the calculation supported the statement in the updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) Section 16.3.2.2 regarding protective devices.

The applicant indicated that information in the JAFNPP UFSAR Section 16.3.2.2, addresses reactor coolant system leakage rates and leakage detection systems via the leak before break analysis. This analysis assumes that a pipe will first crack and gradually increase the amount of leakage until reaching the critical crack length at which time the crack propagates into a break. Based on this analysis, the leak detection system is designed to detect a leak before it becomes a break in lieu of the pipe restraint requirement.

After discussion about the nature of the potential time-limited aging analysis (TLAA), NRC requested the following information:

1. The applicant will provide supporting documentation for the purpose of performing the analysis. The applicant then provided information to the NRC that had been documented in the original plant Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Section 5.2.2 dated November 20,1972.

RAI 4.7.2 Leak Before Break (February 13, 2007)

Discussion: After the staff has reviewed the original NRC SER dated November 20,1972, another teleconference was conducted between NRC and JAFNPP personnel on February 13, 2007, to further discuss Section 4.7.2, Leak Before Break, of the JAFNPP LRA. Per discussion with the applicant, NRC staff requested that the applicant revise and resubmit LRA Section 4.7.2 after addressing the following points:

1. Remove all references to Leak Before Break (LBB), as the TLAA being discussed clearly predates the formal concept of Leak Before Break documented in Standard Review Plan Section 3.6.3.

Enclosure 2

2. Rename the section with a title that describes the primary purpose of the analysis in FSAR 16.3.2 (see also the staff's original SER for licensing of the facility, Section 5.2.2).
3. Discuss the specific time limited part of the original analysis and provide a description of the plant modifications (or non-installations) which were permitted based on the original analysis including locations, or systems, in the plant to which the modifications were permitted.
4. Conclude with an explanation of how the TLAA will be addressed in the context of the ongoing LRA review OR include a commitment to submit the completed TLAA for review at least 2 years prior to entering the period of extended operation.

Based on the above information, RAI 4.7.2 was issued to the applicant by letter dated February 23, 2007.
