LICENSEE: Dominion Nuclear Connecticut

FACILITY: Millstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3

SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF SITE AUDIT TO SUPPORT REVIEW OF LICENSE RENEWALAPPLICATION FOR MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3

An environmental review team consisting of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)staff and contractors from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Pacific Northwest NationalLaboratory (PNNL), and Information Systems Laboratories (ISL) participated in a site audit atMillstone Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (MPS) on May 19 and 20, 2004, to support the review ofthe MPS license renewal application. The team consisted of eight LANL, one PNNL, and twoISL contractors and nine NRC staff members. The primary goal of the site visit was to reviewdocumentation, gather information to ensure that environmental requirements of licenserenewal as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51) aremet, and to interface with officials in Federal, State, and local government permitting andresource agencies to obtain related information. Attachment 1 is the list of NRC, LANL, PNNL,ISL, and Dominion Nuclear Connecticut (DNC) representatives that participated in the audit atthe site. Attachment 2 is a table of documents provided to the staff by DNC to assist the staff inits review of the MPS Environmental Report. These documents have been made publiclyavailable, and can be found at the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System(ADAMS) the accession numbers are listed in Attachment 2. ADAMS is accessible athttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, which provides access through the NRC's PublicElectronic Reading Room (PERR) link. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or whoencounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRC'sPDR Reference staff at 1-800-3974209, or 3014154737, or by e-mail at Ddr(Onrc.pov.

The entire team participated in meetings and a general site tour with DNC staff onWednesday, May 19, 2004. The site tour focused on areas relevant to the environmentalreview, including the meteorological tower, intake structures, discharge canal, and theenvironmental laboratory. During the rest of the site audit, review team members broke off intosmaller groups with DNC representatives with corresponding environmental expertise. Thesegroups participated in various activities, including tours of the radioactive waste processingareas, intake and discharge structures, and the transmission line corridors. DNC provided abrief presentation on its new and significant information identification process and a list ofinformation reviewed and individuals/agencies contacted to members of the environmentalreview team. No significant new information was identified.

In addition, during the site audit, review team members met off-site with staff representingFederal, State and local government agencies and non-governmental organizations(e.g., realtors, chambers of commerce). Information gathered through these offsite meetingswill assist the environmental review team in its evaluation. With the exception of the impact ofentrainment of winter flounder larvae in the MPS circulating water intakes on the decline of the

winter flounder fishery, no major problem areas were identified during these discussions. Thewinter flounder fishery is also the major issue in the review by the Connecticut Department ofEnvironmental Protection of the pending DNC application for a revision to the National PollutantDischarge Elimination System permit for MPS.

At the conclusion of the site visit, the NRC environmental project manager (EPM) and LANLproject team leader participated in a summary exit meeting with DNC representatives. The staffindicated that DNC provided an informative and well-represented site visit for the environmentalreview team. The EPM indicated that the review team did not identify any significant issuesduring its site visit or the visits offsite with Federal, State, and local agencies except for MPS'simpact on the winter flounder fishery. However, the EPM further indicated that the review wasongoing, and that any additional information necessary to support the review would be formallyrequested as a request for additional information.
