SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION ON PROPOSED EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS BASED ON REVISION 4 TO NEI 99-01, METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS FOR MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT TAC NO. MC5017, DOCKET NO. 50-263 By letter dated October 22, 2004, (ADAMS Accession No. ML053420669) and as supplemented by letter dated December 22, 2004, (ADAMS Accession No. ML043650186), Nuclear Management Company, Inc. (the licensee) requested changes to the emergency action levels (EALs) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. Subsequent licensee letters dated June 24, 2005, (ADAMS Accession No. ML051820559), November 22, 2005, (ADAMS Accession No. 053320282), and December 20, 2005, (ADAMS Accession No. ML053560091) provided responses to requests for additional information (RAIs) from the staff.

The Licensing and Regulatory Improvements Section has completed its review of the proposed EAL scheme change and supporting documentation. We have concluded that the proposed change meets the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, and therefore, is considered acceptable. The basis for our conclusions is contained in the attached safety evaluation input.

This completes our effort under TAC No. MC5017
