SUBJECT:
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-263/02-11(DRS)
Dear Mr. Forbes:
On June 21, 2002, the NRC completed an inspection at your Monticello Nuclear Plant facility.
The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on June 21, 2002, with you and members of your staff.
The inspection examined the effectiveness of activities conducted under your license as they related to implementation of your NRC approved Fire Protection Program. The inspection consisted of a selected examination of design drawings, calculations, analyses, procedures, audits, field walkdowns, and interviews with personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified six issues of very low safety significance (Green). One of the issues, involving a failure to perform safety evaluations for changes to the fire protection program, was also characterized as a Severity Level IV violation.
Each of these issues was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues as Non-Cited Violations, in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. If you deny these Non-Cited Violations, you should provide a response with the basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Monticello Nuclear Plant facility. In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
