UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY GOMMISSION W

REGION I

475 ALLENDALE ROAD KlNG OF PRUSSTA. PA 19406-141s March 4, 2OI1 Mr. David Heacock Sr. Vice President and Chief Nuclear Otficer Dominion Resources 500 Dominion Boulevard Glenn Allen, VA 23060-6711 SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 AND UNIT 3 (REPORT 0500033612010001 and 0500042312010001)

Dear Mr. Heacock:

On February 10, 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (Pls) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1,2010, through December 31 , 2010. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter will include the NRC's assessment of your performance in the Security Cornerstone and its security-related inspection plan.

The NRC determined that overall, Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at Millstone Power Station Unit2 and Unit 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all Pls indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green).

Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2012. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

D. Heacock 2 ln accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 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).

Please contact me at 610-337-5306 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
