UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-2713 September 4, 2012 Mr. David Heacock Sr. Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Resources 500 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060-6711

SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 AND UNIT 3 (REPORT 05000336/2012006 and 05000423/2012006)

Dear Mr. Heacock:

On August 14, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle performance review of Millstone Power Station Unit 2 and Unit 3. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

This assessment reflects the integration of the Security Cornerstone into the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) performance assessment program governed by Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program.

The NRC determined the performance at Millstone Power Station Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs ROP Action Matrix based on one finding assigned to the second quarter of 2011 having low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Initiating Events Cornerstone. This finding involved the failure of Unit 2 Millstone personnel to carry out their assigned roles and responsibilities and inadequate reactivity management during main turbine valve testing, which contributed to an unintended eight percent reactor power transient (88 percent to 96 percent) on February 12, 2011.

As a result of our review of Millstone Power Station Unit 2 performance, we plan to conduct a supplemental inspection using NRC Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area, in September 2012. This inspection procedure is conducted to provide assurance that the root cause and contributing causes of risk significant performance issues are understood, the extent of condition is identified, and the corrective actions are sufficient to prevent recurrence.

The NRC determined the performance at Millstone Power Station Unit 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC=s Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at Unit 3.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2013.

Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan.

D. Heacock 2 In addition to the baseline inspections, consistent with the Agencys actions related to Fukushima, the NRC will perform TI-187, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns, and TI-188, Inspection of Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle performance review.

The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact Dr. Ronald R. Bellamy at (610) 337-5200 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Darrell J. Roberts, Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos.: 50-336, 50-423 License Nos.: DPR-65, NPF-49
