SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION ACTIVITIES b
Dear Mr. Bowling:
@ is a summary of the NRC inspection activities that are tentatively planned for I!
Millstone Unit 3 during February and March 1998. These terdailve dates have been h
developed to assist both NRC and Northeast Utilities in our respective planning efforts, d
importantly, these dates are dependent upon your completion of corrective actions ii. these 1
areas. These inspections are part of our program for restart assessment and are in addition
]
to the routine resident inspector and contractor activities. Although the inspections of g i program areas will not be conducted by teams, the inspections will generally be staffed h
with two or three inspectors.
As a result of the significant amount of inspection required to be completed in the limited l
time frame, several of the activities will occur concurrently. NRC policy is to schedule inspections to minimize the regulatory impact on licensees. For example, when a team inspection is planned, other activities, such as program area or individual region based inspections, are not scheduled (to the extent possible) for the time period of the team a
inspection.
We request that within 7 days of receipt of this letter that you confirm that you will be
/
able to effectively support the planned inspections without a resultant adverse regulatory ll impact to your organization.
1 Further, the Operational Safety Team inspection (OSTI) will be conducted as described in the NRC Restart Assessment Plan and as noted in Enclosure 1. The purpose of this
-1 inspection is to assess your readiness to safely restart and operate Millstone Unit 3. In e
order to conduct this type of comprehen3ive inspection, we will need to review, in advance of the inspection, certain documents. Attached is a list (Enclosure 2) of documents to be available for review by the team during the onsite OSTI preparation week. The team
=
tentatively plans to conduct ou' onsite preparation commensurate with your approach to r
plant heatup.
