Dear Mr. Fields:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in the Electrical Engineering Branch of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation is currently supporting the review of the Extended Power Uprate (EPU) license amendment request for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The staff has reviewed your supplemental response associated with the EPU Gap Analysis and determined that additional information is required to complete its review. Draft requests for additional information (RAI) are attached.

You may accept these draft RAIs as a formal Requests for Additional Information and respond to the questions by April 12, 2013. Alternatively, you may request to discuss the contents of the RAIs with the NRC staff in a conference call, including any change to the proposed response date.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Terry A. Beltz, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (301) 415-3049 Terry.Beltz@nrc.gov Hearing Identifier: NRR_PMDA Email Number: 628 Mail Envelope Properties (7E9EA9BB82325E46B07B0F04F99B40D87C560368BF)
