DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC. ) Docket Nos. 50-336, 50-423
)
(Millstone Power Station, Units 2 & 3) ) ASLBP No. 05-837-01-LR NRC STAFFS SECOND STATUS REPORT INTRODUCTION On May 6, 2005, the participants in this proceeding informed the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Licensing Board) that efforts were under way to hold a meeting, in the context of settlement, to discuss the issues raised by petitioner County of Suffolk (the County) in this matter. In its Memorandum of May 11, 2005, the Licensing Board directed the participants to continue settlement efforts, and to inform the Licensing Board as to the date of the meeting in order to convene a conference call thereafter.
DISCUSSION On May 18, 2005, representatives of the County, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.
(Dominion), and the NRC Staff1 attended a closed settlement meeting. The meeting provided an opportunity for an exchange of information and discussion with the County regarding its concerns associated with emergency preparedness for the Millstone Power Station. Although the meeting provided a forum for an open and useful dialogue, the participants did not settle the issues raised by the County in its Petition.
As stated in its May 6, 2005 Status Report,2 the Staff considers its interactions with the 1

County on emergency preparedness issues as relating to performance of the NRCs ongoing regulatory processes. While the Staff is committed to interact with the County and Dominion on these issues as necessary, the Staff continues to believe that the Countys late-filed petition to intervene is fatally flawed from a procedural standpoint and, moreover, raises issues which are clearly outside the scope of this license renewal proceeding. As such, the Staff renews its request that the Licensing Board lift its stay regarding this matter and decide the issues briefed by the participants.
Respectfully submitted,
/RA/
