William Borchardt, Executive Director for Operations, about compliance with fire protection regulations at the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 1, 2, and 3.2) Entergy letter NL-12-041, 03/01/12, "Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Operator Manual Actions." 3) Entergy letter NL-12-093, 07/11/12, "Revision to Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Operator Manual Actions."
Dear Sir or Madam:
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. ("Entergy")
is responding to Reference 1 by providing, in Attachment 1, comments on the Proposed Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206.References 2 and 3 concern Entergy's response to the NRC's Request for Additional Information (RAI) regarding Operator Manual Actions (OMA). As noted in Attachment 1, Entergy has identified that the resolution of Unit 3 OMA 10 will require a physical plant modification that requires a plant outage to install. Entergy will submit a revision to the initial RAI response (Reference
- 2) by August 1 7 th. 2012.There are no new commitments contained in this letter.I NL-12-109 Page 2 of 2 If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 914-254-6710.Sincerely, RW/mb Attachments:
- 1. Comments on Proposed Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 cc: Mr. William Dean, Regional Administrator, NRC Region 1 Mr. Douglas Pickett, Senior Project Manager, NRC NRR DORL IPEC NRC Resident Inspector's Office Mr. Stephen Giebel, IPEC NRC Unit 1 Project Manager Michele G. Evans, Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, NRR Mrs. Bridget Frymire, New York State Department of Public Service Attachment 1 Comments on Proposed Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 2 and 3 Docket Nos. 50-247, 50-286 NL-12-109 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 2 INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS 2 AND 3 Comments on Proposed Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 A. General CommentsSection III, Conclusion, Pages 9 and 10 The letter indicates the NRC is granting the petitioner's request for identifying violations and taking enforcement actions as well as bringing IPEC into compliance.
It is Entergy's belief that the NRC is following the requirements and protocols established in the regulatory oversight process (ROP) as relates to these actions, and is not granting the petitioner's request. The letter should indicate that the ROP is a mature process that provides guidance to the NRC and licensees.
The items identified by NY State were items the NRC staff were well aware of and the actions taken by the NRC would have been taken regardless of the NY State petition.B. Specific Comments Suggested changes are shown as strikethroughs for delet*eas and underlines for additions.
Section II, Discussion, Page 5 Suggested Change: "However, neither the diesel generator fire aea zone..." Basis for suggested change: The IP2 Appendix R/SBO diesel generator is in Fire Zone 360 in Fire Area J and Entergy requested exemptions for OMAs in other fire zones (17, 19, 25, 39A, 43A, 45A, 46A, 47A, 50A, 270) that are also in Fire Area J. The OMA in Fire Zone 17 was approved but this zone is far distant from Fire Zone 360 -Fire Zone 360 is located on the 33' elevation of the Unit 1 Turbine Building and Fire Zone 17 is located on the 15' elevation of the Unit 2 Turbine Building, North end (Turbine Lube Oil Reservoir).
Section II, Discussion, Page 8 Suggested Change: "Exceptions to projected completion involve plant modifications for Indian Point Units No. 3 and No. 2, which will not be completed until the spring 2013 and 2014 refueling outages respectively because those modifications involve aGoesste-Pa aroa. acco. iblo only during a plant toW activities that require plant outages to install said modifications." Basis for suqaested change: As noted in References 2 and 3 given the substantial technical challenge imposed by the OMA resolution effort, and recognizing that the requisite engineering evaluations are in progress at this time, the presently conceptualized solutions may NL-12-109 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 2 change, in that the scope of the analysis and/or the nature and scope of plant physical modifications may require revision as the OMA resolutions are finalized.
Reference 3 documents a necessary revision to the initial response (Reference 2)to the NRC's Request for Additional Information (RAI) regarding Unit 2 OMAs.Entergy has very recently determined that there will be a necessary revision to the resolution methodology for Unit 3 OMA 10. The engineering evaluation has determined that the resolution of Unit 3 OMA 10 requires a physical plant modification that requires a plant outage to install. That modification will be completed during the upcoming Unit 3 outage scheduled for spring 2013.
