SUBJECT:

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 - SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION FOR WHITE PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REPORT NO. 05000336/2004015

Dear Mr. Christian:

By letter dated May 5, 2004, you were informed that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would conduct a supplemental inspection at your Millstone Power Station Unit 2 for a White performance indicator in the initiating events cornerstone. On August 27, 2004, the NRC completed this inspection. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on September 1, 2004, with Mr. J. Alan Price and other members of your staff.

The NRC performed this supplemental inspection to assess your activities that addressed the initiating events cornerstone White performance indicator, which involved crossing the threshold from Green to White for the Unplanned Scrams per 7,000 Critical Hours Performance Indicator in the first quarter of calendar year 2004. The purpose of this inspection was to examine your problem identification, root cause and extent of condition evaluation, and corrective actions.

This supplemental inspection was performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection For One Or Two White Inputs In A Strategic Performance Area.

Based upon the results of this inspection, the NRC determined that the problem identification, root and contributing cause evaluation, extent of condition assessment, and corrective actions for the White performance indicator were adequate. No findings of significance were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs document system (ADAMS).

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

Sincerely,

/RA/
