SUBJECT:

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 AND UNIT 3 - LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 05000336/2004010, 05000423/2004010

Dear Mr. Christian:

On October 1, 2004, the NRC completed the second inspection of your application for license renewal for your Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on October 20, 2004, with members of your staff in an exit meeting open for public observation at the Waterford, CT, Town Hall.

The purpose of this inspection was to examine the plant activities and documents that supported the application for a renewed license of Millstone Power Station Units 2 and 3. The inspection consisted of an examination of selected procedures, representative records, walkdowns of available areas, and interviews with plant personnel regarding the proposed methods by which the effects of aging during the extended period of operation will be managed by Dominion staff for selected systems, structures, and components previously subject to an aging management review. For a sample of plant systems, inspectors performed visual examinations of accessible portions of the systems to directly observe system aging as described in the application for a renewed license.

The inspection team concluded that the aging management portion of the license renewal activities were conducted as described in the License Renewal Application and that documentation supporting the application was in an auditable and retrievable form. The inspection results supported a conclusion that the proposed activities will reasonably manage the effects of aging in the systems structures, and components identified in your application.

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 Room or from the Publicly Available Records 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/
