UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 May 12, 2016 Mr. Larry Coyle Site Vice President Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. Indian Point Energy Center 450 Broadway, GSB Buchanan, NY 10511-0249 SUBJECT: INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING – INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000247/2016001 AND 05000286/2016001 Dear Mr. Coyle: On March 31, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Indian Point Nuclear Generating (Indian Point), Units 2 and 3. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 29, 2016, with you and other members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission’s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. This report documents one self-revealing finding and two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (Green). These findings involved violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any non-cited violation in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Indian Point.

Coyle -2- In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs “Rules of Practice,” a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC’s Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. The inspectors identified three findings of very low safety significance (Green), which were non-cited violations (NCVs). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green,
