TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT

05000263/2011-408(DRS)

Dear Mr. OConnor:

On July 15, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a triennial fire

protection inspection at your Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The enclosed inspection

report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 15, 2011, with you and

other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to your

preparedness to handle large fires or explosions by verifying you continue to meet the

requirements of your B.5.b license condition and Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Part 50.54 (hh)(2). The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed

activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, one NRC-identified finding of very low safety

significance was identified. The finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The finding

did have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance within the resources

component because the licensee did not develop and provide accurate procedures. However,

because of the very low safety significance, and because the issue was entered into your

corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) in

accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days

of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with

a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III,

2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector

Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified

Non-Safeguards Information. When separated

30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the

Regional Administrator, Region III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Monticello Nuclear

Generating Plant.
