SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 - REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION FOR A BIENNIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND
RESOLUTION INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000336/2024010 AND
Dear Eric Carr:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region I staff will conduct a biennial problem identification and resolution inspection at
Millstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3. Sarah Elkhiamy, a Senior Project Engineer from the
NRCs Region I office, will lead the inspection team. The inspection will be conducted in
accordance with Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, dated
January 1, 2024 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23214A284).
The inspection will assess the effectiveness of your problem identification and resolution
program in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems, including the use of
operating experience, assessments, and audits. This inspection will also assess your program
for raising concerns under the established safety conscious work environment.
The onsite inspection is scheduled for the weeks of April 29 and May 13, 2024.
In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for
both parties, we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. It is
important that all of these documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the
number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of
the inspection. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead
inspector by April 1, 2024.
If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure,
please contact the lead inspector at 610-337-6916 or via email at sarah.elkhiamy@nrc.gov.

preparation. The requested information is for the period from Oct 1, 2022 through
April 1, 2024 (Present), which covers the timeframe since the previous problem identification
and resolution (PI&R) inspection. The inspection procedure also specifies a five-year review for
a subset of selected program, system, or component issues. The selected samples for this five-
year review will be provided at a future date.
An information gathering trip is currently scheduled for the week of February 26, 2024. The

this information request. Please provide the information electronically in pdf files, Excel, or
other searchable formats, preferably on an internet database system (e.g., OneDrive) The files
should contain descriptive names, be indexed, and hyperlinked to facilitate ease of use.
Information in lists should contain enough information to be easily understood by someone
who has knowledge of light water reactor technology.
