MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 2 - RE: UPDATED LIST OF DOCUMENTS DESCRIBING THE APPROVED ANALYTICAL METHODS USED TO DETERMINE CORE OPERATING LIMITS (TAC NO. MC0706)

Dear Mr. Christian:

In your application dated January 26, 2006, you requested approval of changes to the Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 2 (MPS2) Technical Specifications (TSs) to update the list of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved documents that describe the analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits. The justification provided for this proposed change was not adequate to support the NRC staffs review, and additional information is needed to complete our review. In particular, the NRC staff found that part of the justification contained a questionable assertion about an NRC-approved document, EMF-92-116, being referenced in other NRC approved documents listed in the MPS2 TSs. On October 24, 2006, the NRC staff requested information from Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) that could substantiate the assertion.

DNC confirmed the assertion was incorrect. A conference call was held on December 18, 2006, with your staff (D. Sommers, D. Dodson, P. Willoughby and D. Fredericks) to discuss and agree on what other information could be provided. Subsequent to the call, your staff committed to provide this information by the close of business on December 20, 2006. I want to note that this information was provided on December 20, 2006. The NRC staff appreciates the prompt response by your staff.

Sincerely,

/RA/
