[J.onat h an Ro wley _Sum mary of Telephone Co n f een ce A August 1, 2007 wpdPae4 Page-4_11 NEW INFORMATION VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION AUGUST 1, 2007 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., held a telephone conference call on August 1, 2007, to discuss and clarify newly submitted information concerning the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) license renewal application (LRA).

Summary of Discussion On July 30, 2007, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy), submitted a letter to the NRC containing information to clarify four Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Confirmatory Items. The information in the letter was sufficient to resolve and close the confirmatory items but the letter also contained information on nonsafety-related components affecting safety-related systems that had not been previously indicated in the original LRA or any subsequent LRA supplement.

The staff's noticed during the preliminary review of the new, additional information that new systems where added to the scope of license renewal, changes to systems related to nonsafety-related system components, and addition of revision to aging management review tables. The letter did not provide sufficient information to allow the staff to complete its review.

During the conference call, Entergy agreed to supplement the July 30 letter with additional information on the systems which were added to the scope of license renewal and the rational for deleting line items from certain tables.
