License Renewal Aging Management Program Audit Plan Indian Point Nuclear Genarating Unit Nos. 2 and 3

1. Background

By letter dated April 23, 2007, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the applicant) applied for renewal of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 (IP2 and IP3), collectively known as Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) operating licenses. The Vessel & Internals Branch (EVIB) staff is reviewing the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 Reactor Vessel Internals Program provided in Amendment 9 to the IPEC License Renewal Application (LRA),

submitted via letter dated July 14, 2010. In conjunction with the review of the reactor vessel internals (RVI) Program, EVIB is reviewing the Indian Point Energy Center Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI) Inspection Plan, submitted via letter dated September 28, 2011, as supplemented by letter dated February 17, 2012. The RVI Inspection Plan, as supplemented, was intended to be consistent with the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved Electric Power Research Institute topical report Materials Reliability Program: Pressurized Water Reactor Internals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines (MRP-227-A), and to partially fulfill Commitment #30 of the IPEC LRA. In a letter dated September 28, 2012, the applicant provided responses to staff requests for additional information (RAIs) and stated, for certain RAI responses, that plant-specific details are proprietary and if the NRC requires additional details, the calculation would be made available for the NRC to review the supporting technical basis.

2. Regulatory Audit Bases License renewal requirements are specified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. Guidance is provided in NUREG-1800, Revision 2, Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (SRP-LR), dated December 2010, and in NUREG-1801, Revision 2, Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL)

Report, dated December 2010.

3. Regulatory Audit Scope and Methodology The scope of this audit is to review the plant-specific, proprietary information associated with RVI Program RAI responses sent by letter dated September 28, 2012.

4. Information and Other Material Necessary for the Regulatory Audit The project team will review the plant-specific, proprietary information associated with RVI Program responses to RAIs 6 and 9.
