SUBJECT:

NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO. 2 - REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO USE RISK-INFORMED INSERVICE INSPECTION ALTERNATIVE (TAC NO. MB0297)

Dear Mr. Mueller:

The NRC staff is reviewing the subject request from Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) dated October 16, 2000. On February 8, 2001, the staff held a telephone discussion with Mr. J. Dosa, et al. of your staff on comments we previously e-mailed (see publicly available e-mail, Accession No. ML010360278). At the conclusion of the discussion, we agreed to formally issue, in the form of a Request for Additional Information, a question transmitted by the referenced e-mail. Specifically, we are requesting that you supply information regarding the status of the hardware and procedural modifications credited in the Nine Mile Point, Unit No. 2, Individual Plant Examination (IPE). NMPCs IPE document indicated that these modifications were to be completed by the 1993 refueling outage.

Other comments contained in the referenced e-mail were considered addressed during the conference call. There is no need for any NRC issuance or NMPC formal response to those.

Please respond in a timely manner so we can complete our review before your requested target date of May 1, 2001.

Sincerely,

/RA/
