DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE MILLSTONE POWER STATION EMERGENCY PLAN FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. DPR-21, DPR-65 AND NPF-49 DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NOS.1, 2 AND 3 DOCKET NOS.50-245, 50-336 AND 50-423 (TAC NOS. MB8095, MB8906 AND MB8907)

By letter dated February 23, 2003, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (the licensee) submitted a proposed change to the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the information the licensee provided that supports the proposed changes. In order for the staff to complete its evaluation, the following additional information is requested:

1. The licensee describes the technological advances that their justification is based upon for changing Radiological Monitoring Team Health Physics Technician minimum staffing. However, it is still not clear how these advances help reduce the emergency response burden of the Health Physics Technicians since these personnel are needed, for instance, to prepare radiation work permits, etc.. Please provide additional information that clearly demonstrates how this burden is reduced

2. Discuss why radiological concerns are not normally present at the onset of a classified emergency event.

3. What were the on shift emergency duties of the technician moved from on shift to a 30-60 minute responder? Discuss why these duties are no longer needed or how these tasks will be accomplished?
