SUMMARY

OF MEETING TO DISCUSS THE PLANNED LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR NINE MILE POINT, UNITS 1 AND 2 On February 25, 2004, representatives of Constellation met with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to discuss the submittal of a license renewal application for Nine Mile Point (NMP), Units 1 and 2. The renewal application is scheduled to be submitted by May 31, 2004. Attendees at the meeting are listed in Enclosure 1 and the agenda is provided in. Constellation's presentation materials used at the meeting are contained in.

Constellation provided an overview of the intended format and content for each of the sections in the license renewal application. The license for NMP Unit 1 expires on August 22, 2009, and for Unit 2 on October 31, 2026. A May 31, 2004, submittal, will meet the five year timely renewal provision contained in 10 CFR 2.109.

The NMP renewal application will be the first application for a GE BWR 2/Mark I design (Unit 1) and a GE BWR 5/Mark 11 design (Unit 2). One document will be submitted addressing both units. Designators "A" and "B" will be used for subsections where significant differences exist between Units 1 and 2. The application will follow the "Class of 2003" standard license renewal application format and will address both draft and final Interim Staff Guidance positions.

There are a total of 37 aging management programs for NMP Units 1 and 2 consisting of 32 existing and 5 new programs. Approximately 75% of the programs are consistent with the Generic Aging Lessons Learned Report. Constellation had not decided yet whether to spend the resources to perform the review to identify where its programs are consistent with those previously approved (past precedent). They will monitor the experience of other applicants who performed the review and currently have applications under review before making a decision.

The NRC staff requested clarification on selected topics and provided comments but did not identify any significant problems with Constellation's proposed approach.
