1940S2713 January 4, 20L3 Mr. John Ventosa, Site Vice President Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.lndian Point Energy Center 450 Broadway, GSB P.O. Box 249 Buchanan, NY 1051 1-0249 SUBJECT: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING

UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 RESPONSE TO NOTICES OF VIOLATION N RC I N S p E CTr O N RE pO RT 05000247 I 20 1 2009 AN D 0500 0286t201 2008 Dear Mr. Ventosa: Thank you for your letters of September

17,2012 (ML12268A057)

and December 7,2012 (Ml-12354A415), in response to the Notices of Violation

that were issued in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) lnspection

Report 0500A24712012009

and 0500028612012008, dated August 16,2012 (ML12229A128), regarding

the use of unapproved

operator manual actions to mitigate safe shutdown equipment

malfunctions

caused by fire-induced

single spurious actuations

in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations

(10 CFR) Part 50 Appendix R, Section lll.G.2., Fire Areas. We reviewed your responses

and find they meet the requirements

of 10 CFR2.201, "Notice of Violation." We will review the implementation

of your corrective

actions during a future inspection

to determine

that full compliance

has been achieved and will be maintained.

Also, in a related matter, we noted that you have included in your December 7,2012letter, a status of corrective

actions for fire-induced

multiple spurious operation (MSO) issues.The industry resolution

of MSOs was described

in NRC Enforcement

Guidance Memorandum

09- 002, Enforcement

Discretion

for Fire lnduced Circuit Faults, dated May 14, 2009 (ML090300446).

As discussed

in your December 7 ,2012letter, enforcement

discretion

for multiple fire induced circuit fault related non-compliances

ended on November 2,2012, after which time, such non-compliances

were to be dispositioned

in accordance

with the NRC Enforcement

Policy. The NRC has determined

that the violations

issued to Entergy on August 16,2012, pertaining

to single spurious actuations, subsumes the MSO non-compliances

at lndian Point Units 2 and 3. Accordingly, we will also review the implementation

of your MSO corrective

actions during a future inspection

to determine

that these are resolved.ln accordance

with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available

electronically

for public inspection
