MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION June 9, 2005 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff (the staff) and representatives of Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) held a telephone conference call on June 9, 2005, to discuss and clarify the staffs draft requests for additional information (D-RAIs) concerning the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, license renewal application (LRA). The following D-RAIs were discussed during the telephone conference call.

D-RAI 2.3.1-1 The Control Rod Velocity Limiters are described in Section 6.4 of the USAR. The Control Rod Velocity Limiters are provided as an integral part of each control rod. They provide hydraulic damping to reduce the free fall velocity of the rod and thereby reduce the consequences in the event the control rod became detached from its drive and dropped from the core. The LRA does not mention this component, nor does it appear to refer to USAR Section 6.4 in the text.

Please provide justification.
