UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD Before Administrative Judges:

Lawrence G. McDade, Chairman Dr. Michael F. Kennedy Dr. Richard E. Wardwell In the Matter of

ENTERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC.

(Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3)

Docket Nos. 50-247-LR and 50-286-LR

ASLBP No. 07-858-03-LR-BD01 October 15, 2012 ORDER (Granting Riverkeeper's Motion for Leave to File Additional Exhibits)

On October 11, 2012, Riverkeeper, Inc. (Riverkeeper) filed a Motion for Leave to File Additional Exhibits Concerning Contention RK-TC-2 (Flow Accelerated Corrosion), in which Riverkeeper requests permission to file additional exhibits which it has labeled as RIV000127 through RIV000131.

1 Riverkeeper's motion for leave to file additional exhibits concerning Contention RK-TC-2 is Granted. However, unlike recent motions to admit exhibits that we have granted over the past few days, this motion is opposed. Moreover, the rational for opposing this motion that was stated by the NRC Staff and Entergy is not without merit. These documents are not of recent origin, discuss technical aspects of flow accelerated corrosion, and are not relevant to Entergy's recent submission (October 12, 2012) that was filed at the request of the Board which was, as directed, limited to an overview of the CHECKWORKS program. If Riverkeeper considered t he review of these exhibits by the Board 1 See Riverkeeper, Inc. Motion for Leave to File Additional Exhibits Concerning Contention RK-TC-2 (Flow Accelerated Corrosion) (Oct. 11, 2012) at 1.

necessary to the development of an adequate record, it could have, and should have submitted these exhibits months ago. Nevertheless, accepting Riverkeeper's representations regarding the significance of these exhibits, we will admit them and allow Riverkeeper's expert witness, Dr. Hopenfeld, to refer to them in response to the Board's questions.

2 Likewise, witnesses proffered by the other parties may, if they wish, refer to these exhibits and, recognizing that the other parties had not been presented with these exhibits when they submitted their proposed questions, we will liberally evaluate requests to interrogate Dr. Hopenfeld regarding any conclusions he may express that rely on these exhibits. It is so ORDERED.

FOR THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD

/RA/ ___________________________

Lawrence G. McDade, Chairman ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE Rockville, Maryland October 15, 2012 2 These exhibits do not appear to be relevant to the introductory presentations regarding the design and generic operation of the CHECKWORKS program that was requested by the Board.

Accordingly, we do not anticipate that they will be referred to during those presentations. If Riverkeeper, or Entegy, believes that any of these documents are relevant to the subject matter of Board's CHECKWORKS request, a brief oral application explaining their relevance should be made before the CHECKWORKS presentations at the outset of the hearing.
