SUBJECT:

NOTIFICATION OF BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT 2 SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-325/2003-08 AND 50-324/2003-08

Dear Mr. Gannon:

In a Final Significance Determination letter, dated June 2, 2004, from Mr. Loren Plisco, the Region II Deputy Regional Administrator, you were informed that the NRC had concluded that the final significance determination of a Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 finding associated with an emergency diesel generator jacket water cooling system leak, had been characterized as White (i.e., an issue of low to moderate safety significance, which may require additional NRC inspection). Also in this letter you were informed that, because Brunswick Unit 2 plant performance for this issue had been determined to be in the increased regulatory response band, we would use the NRC Action Matrix to determine the most appropriate NRC response for the finding, and notify you by separate correspondence of our determination.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that we plan to conduct a Supplemental Inspection of Brunswick Unit 2 during the week of August 23, 2004. The inspection will be conducted by Mr.

Bob Hagar, the Senior Resident Inspector at the H. B. Robinson Nuclear Plant. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, the inspection will be conducted using NRC Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection For One Or Two White Inputs In A Strategic Performance Area.

Discussions between Mr. Eugene DiPaolo of my staff and Mr. Steve Tabor of your staff have taken place to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of this inspection. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the inspection, please contact Mr. Hagar at (843) 383-4571 or me at (404)

562-4530.

CP&L 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from the NRCs 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).

Sincerely,

/RA/
