UNITED NUCLEAR REGULATORY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 25, 2009 Mr. David A.
Heacock President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. Innsbrook Technical Center 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glenn Allen, VA 23060
SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO.3 -ACCEPTANCE REVIEW REGARDING THIRD 10-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM INTERVAL
Dear Mr. Heacock:
By letter dated April 28, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML091310666), Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC), submitted 10 relief requests associated with Millstone Power Station, Unit No.3 (MPS3) third 1O-year inservice inspection program interval.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of these relief requests. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant. The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed relief requests in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.
If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence In your letter dated April 28, 2009, relief request number IR-3-02 was submitted under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), based on impracticality. The NRC staff believes relief requests based on impracticality considerations should not be proposed for 1O-year intervals in advance because changes that affect the ability to perform the examination, such as advancements in technology, may occur later in the interval.
Therefore, relief requests of this type would be more appropriate later in the interval.
