TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT 05000 263/201 1-4 08(DRS) Dear Mr. O'Connor: On July 15, 2011 , the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a triennial fire protection inspection at your Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 15, 2011, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to your preparedness to handle large fires or explosions by verifying you continue to meet the requirements of your B.5.b license condition and Title

10, Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR) Part 50.54 (hh)(2). The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, one

NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance was identified. The finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The finding did have a cross

-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance within the resources component because the licensee did not develop and provide accurate procedures. However, because of the very low safety significance, and because the issue was entered into

your corrective action program, the NRC is treating th

e issue as a Non-Cited Violation

(NCV) in accordance with Section

2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of th

is NCV, you should provide a response within 30

days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with

a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

- Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite
