SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT RELATED TO THE LICENSE RENEWAL OFMONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT

Dear Mr. Conway:

By letter dated March 16, 2005, Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) submitted, for theU.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) review, an application pursuant to10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating license for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant(MNGP) for an additional 20 years. The NRC determined that the License Renewal Application(LRA) was complete and acceptable for docketing on May 5, 2005. Since that time, the NRC staff has reviewed the MNGP LRA, issued requests for additional information (RAIs), reviewed the applicant's responses to the staff's RAIs, developed an initial safety evaluation report (SER) dated April 26, 2006, and reviewed the applicant's comments on the initial SER. On the basisof this review, the staff has developed the enclosed SER to document its finding associated with the safety review of the LRA and supporting documentation for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the license renewal ProjectManager, Daniel J. Merzke at 301-415-3777 or by e-mail at DXM2@nrc.gov

.Sincerely,/RA/Frank P. Gillespie, Division DirectorDivision of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor RegulationDocket No. 50-263
