SUBJECT:

REVIEW OF INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NO. 2 INDIVIDUAL PLANT EXAMINATION OF EXTERNAL EVENTS (IPEEE)

SUBMITTAL (TAC NO. M83631)

Dear Mr. Blind:

On June 28,1991, the NRC issued Generic Letter (GL) 88-20, Supplement 4 (with NUREG-1407, Procedural and Submittal Guidance) requesting all licensees to perform individual plant examinations of external events (IPEEE) to identify plant-specific vulnerabilities to severe accidents and to report the results to the Commission together with any licensee-determined improvements and corrective actions. On December 6,1995, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Ed) submitted its response regarding Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 1

No. 2 (IP2) to NRC, which included an internal flood analysis. A request for additional information tuas issued on September 22,1997, and Con Ed responded by letter dated February 24,1998.

The NRC staff's review finding are summarized in the enclosed staff evaluation report (SER);

the details of the contractor's findings are in the attached technical evaluation report (TER) and the staff's TER which provides details and evaluations concerning the flooding analysis.

On the basis of the review findings, the staff concludes that: (1) Con Ed's IPEEE is complete with regard to the information requested by Supplement 4 to GL 88 20 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1407), and (2) the IPEEE results are reasonablo given the IP2 design, operation, and history. Therefore, the staff concludes that Con Ed's IPEEE process is capable of identifying the most likely severe accidents and severe accident vulnerabilities, and therefore, the IP2 IPEEE has met the intent of Supplement 4 to GL 88-20 and the resolution of specific generic safety issues discussed in this SER.
