The NRC determined the performance at Millstone U nits 2 and 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program," because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 (REPORT 05000336/2016006 AND 05000423/2016006)

Dear Mr. Stoddard:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Millstone Power Station (Millstone), Units 2 and 3, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Millstone Units 2 and 3 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2018. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

This inspection plan does not include the plan for security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

In addition to the baseline inspections, the NRC will conduct Inspection Procedure 60855.1, Operation of an ISFSI Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants.

Additionally, the NRC will conduct Temporary Instruction 2515-192, Inspection of the Licensees Interim Compensatory Measures Associated with the Open Phase Condition (OPC)

Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available 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).

Please contact me at 610-337-5165 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
