SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN MILLSTONE POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Heacock:

On August 11, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Millstone Nuclear

Generating Station Units 2 and 3. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for

the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. The purpose of this letter is to inform y ou of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A

separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security Information" will include

the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter of 2009 at Millstone was within the Licensee

Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified

as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level

requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight

process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through December 31, 2010. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the

resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of

inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and

continuous nature. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative

and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public

Document Room or from the Publicly Avail able Records (PARS) component of NRC's document

system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

D. Heacock 2 As you may know, the NRC is currently evaluating the scope and frequency of all the baseline

inspection procedures as part of our biennial review of the ROP. If the results of the evaluation, or any other circumstances, cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to

discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 610-337-5200 with any

questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Ronald R. Bellamy, Ph.D., Chief

Division of Reactor Projects
