NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-247-OLA; ASLBP No. 02-798-01-OLA]


Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear 
Operations, Inc., Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2; 
Establishment of Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

    Pursuant to delegation by the Commission dated December 29, 1972, 
published in the Federal Register, 37 FR 28,710 (1972), and 
Secs. 2.105, 2.700, 2.702, 2.714, 2.714a, 2.717, 2.721, and 2.772(j) of 
the Commission's regulations, all as amended, an Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board is being established to preside over the following 
proceeding:

Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, and
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
Indian Point Neclear Generating Unit No. 2

    This Board is being established pursuant to a notice of 
consideration of issuance of operating license amendment, proposed no 
significant hazards consideration determination, and opportunity for a 
hearing published in the Federal Register (66 FR 44,161, 44,165 (Aug. 
22, 2001)). The proceeding involves a petition for leave to intervene 
and request for a hearing submitted March 18, 2002, by Riverkeeper, 
Inc., challenging a July 13, 2001 request by then-licensee Consolidated 
Edison Company of New York, Inc., to amend the operating license for 
the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2. (By order dated August 
27, 2001, the agency approved a license transfer request regarding 
Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit No. 2 that made Entergy Nuclear 
Indian Point 2, LLC, the facility owner and Entergy Nuclear Operations, 
Inc., its licensed operator.) The amendment would make a change to the 
facility technical specifications to increase the interval for the Type 
A containment integrated leak rate test from at least once per ten 
years to once per fifteen years, albeit applicable only to the interval 
following the last Type A test, which was satisfactorily performed in 
June 1991.
    The Board is comprised of the following administrative judges:

Michael C. Farrar, Chair, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001.

with the administrative judges in accordance with 10 CFR 2.701.

    Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this twelfth day of April, 2002.
G. Paul Bollwerk III,
Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel.
