SUBJECT:

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 AND UNIT 3 - NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000336/2004002, 05000423/2004002

Dear Mr. Christian:

On February 26, 2004, the NRC completed a team inspection at the Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on February 26, 2004, with Mr. J. Alan Price and other members of your staff during an exit meeting.

This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to the identification and resolution of problems, compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and the conditions of your operating license. Within these areas, the inspection involved examination of selected procedures and representative records, observation of activities, and interviews with personnel.

On the basis of the samples selected for review, the team concluded that in general, problems were properly identified, evaluated, and corrected. The team identified two findings of very low safety significance (Green). The first finding was associated with the failure to implement an appropriate test program following the installation of a modification on the Unit 2 charging system. The second finding involved the failure to implement appropriate corrective actions for repeat instances of safety injection tank leakage, also at Unit 2. These findings were determined to be violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as a non-cited violations consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC 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 U. S. Nuclear Regulator 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 Regulator Commission, Washington DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Millstone Facility.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

Mr. David 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/
