CLARIFICATION ON RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION February 12, 2008 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) and representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. held a telephone conference call on February 12, 2008, to discuss and clarify the response to a request for additional information (RAI) concerning the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 license renewal application (LRA).
By letter dated December 21, 2007, the staff requested additional information leak before break analyses. By letter dated January 17, 2008, Entergy responded to the staffs RAI. Upon review of the information contained in Entergys response letter, the staff determined that additional clarification was warranted. The items requiring clarification are discussed below.
In its response to RAI 4.7.2-2, Page 6 of 13, second paragraph, the applicant stated that a fatigue crack growth analysis of the reactor vessel inlet nozzle to safe-end region was performed. This nozzle was selected because crack growth at this location is representative of the entire primary loop.
In its response to RAI 4.7.2-7(e), Page 10 of 13, the applicant stated that the junction of the hot leg and the reactor vessel outlet nozzle is the load limiting/bounding location. RAI 4.7.2-7(e) is related to the nozzle which is representative of the entire primary loop.
In its response to RAI 4.7.2-2, the applicant stated that the inlet nozzle is bounding but the response to RAI 4.7.2-7(e) states that the outlet nozzle is bounding.
Therefore, the staff asked the applicant to clarify the potential discrepancy.
Applicants clarification:
The applicant stated that the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) inlet nozzle is the component for which Westinghouse performed the generic study for the fleet to determine sensitivity of the fatigue crack growth. However, for IP2 and IP3, the plant-specific bounding component is the RPV outlet nozzle.
The staff finds that the applicant's response has clarified the issue.
