SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION - UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING DELETION OF E BAR DEFINITION AND REVISION TO THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM SPECIFIC ACTIVITY (TAC NOS. MD8492 AND MD8493)
Dear Mr. Christian:
By letter dated March 25, 2008 (Agencywide Documents and Management System Accession No. ML080920781), Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) submitted a license amendment request to revise the Millstone Power Station Unit Nos. 2 and 3 Technical Specifications (TS) regarding deletion of E Bar definition and the revision of the Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity TS.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the information DNC provided and determined that additional information is required in order to complete the evaluation as set forth in the Enclosure.
The draft questions were sent to Mr. Bill Bartron, of your staff, to ensure that the questions were understandable, the regulatory basis for the questions was clear, and to determine if the information was previously docketed. During a discussion with your staff on September 22, 2008, it was agreed that you would provide a response by October 6, 2008.
Sincerely,
/ra/
