SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION ACTIVITIES

Dear Mr. Bowling:

Enclosure 1 is a summary of the NRC inspection activities that are tentatively planned for

- Millstone Unit 3 during February and March 1998. These tentctive dates have been

- developed to assist both NRC and Northeast Utilities in our respective planning efforts, importantly, these dates are dependent upon your completion of corrective actions in thesa '

areas. These i:ispections are part of our program for restart assessment and are in addition .

to the routine resident inspector and contractor activities. AlthoJgh the inspections of program areas will not be conducted by teams, the inspections will generally be staffed with two or three inspectors.

As a result of the significant amount of inspection required to be completed in the limited Etime 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 activit'es, such as program area or individual region based inspections, are not scheduled (to the extent possible) for the time period of the team 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 impact to your organization.

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 inspection is to assess your readiness to safely restart and operate Millstone Unit 3. In order to conduct this type of comprehensive inspection, we will need to review, in advance of the inspection, certain documents. Attached is a list (Enclosure ?) of documents to be available for review by the team during the onsite OSTI preparation week. The team tentatively plans to conduct our onsite preparation commensurate with your approach to plant heatup.
