SUBJECT: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT FOLLOW-UP TO DISPUTED
VIOLATION OF NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000263/2015007
Dear Mr. Gardner:
This is a follow-up letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) acknowledgement
of disputed violation of NRC Inspection Report (IR) 05000263/2015007. Specifically, on
October 28, 2015, the NRC acknowledged your letter sent to the NRC, dated October 2, 2015,
that contested a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) documented in our IR issued on September 2, 2015.
The contested NCV is Failure to Review for Suitability of Application Safety-Related Relays
Installed Beyond their Service Life.
The NRC seeks to provide a thorough response to disputed violations within 90 days of
receipt of licensees points of contention, as described in Section 2.2.8 of the NRC Enforcement
Manual, Part I. However, the NRC review of this disputed violation is expected to take longer
than 90 days because of ongoing activities related to the subject of this disputed violation. We
will inform you as soon as we complete our evaluation, which is expected to occur during the
first quarter of calendar year 2016.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public
Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy
of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide
Documents 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).
