SUBJECT:
REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Spina:
By letter dated May 26, 2004, Constellation Energy Group Inc., submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), to renew the operating licenses for the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMP), Units 1 and 2, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application (LRA) and has identified, in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review.
Based on discussions with Mr. Peter Mazzaferro of your staff, a mutually agreeable date for your response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions regarding this letter or if circumstances result in your need to revise the response date, please contact me at 301-415-1458 or by e-mail at nbl@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
