This was an announced inspection conducted by four region-based inspectors and two headquarters-based inspectors. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006. Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness No findings were identified.

REPORT 1. REACTOR SAFETY Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness (EP) 1EP1 Exercise Evaluation (71114.01 1 Sample) a. Inspection Scope Prior to the October 19, 2010, emergency preparedness exercise. the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, submitted to the NRC by Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Millstone emergency plan as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). This overall exercise inspection activity repres':1nted the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle. The exercise evaluation consisted of the following review and assessment: The adequacy of Millstone's performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the risk-significant planning standards (RSPS) described in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which are: emergency classification; offsite notification; radiological assessment; and, protective action recommendations, respectively. The overall adequacy of Millstone's emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities," and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Operational Support Center (OSC), Technical Support Center (TSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). A review of other performance areas, such as: the emergency response organization's (ERO's) recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control; intra-and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and, thEl overall implementation of the emergency plan and its implementing procedures. A review of past performance issues from the last NRC exercise inspection report and Millstone's EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions as demonstrated during the October 19th exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). The licensee's post-exercise critiques, to evaluate Dominion's self-assessment of its ERO performance during the October 19th exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g. The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.

b. Findings No findings were identified. 1 EP4 Emergency Action Level (EAL) and Emergency Plan Changes (71114.04 -1 Sample) a. Inspection Scope Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Dominion implemented various changes to the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan. Dominion determined that in accordance with 10 CFR 50. 54(q), the changes resulted in no decrease in effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. The inspectors reviewed all EAL changes made since August 2009, and conducted a sampling review of other Emergency Plan changes, including changes to lower-tier emergency plan implementing procedures, to evaluate for any potential decreases in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. However, this review was not documented in a Safety Evaluation Report and does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety. b. Findings No findings were identified. 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA) 40A1 Performance Indicator (PI) Verification (71151 -3 Samples) a. Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed data for the Millstone EP Pis, which are: (1) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP); (2) Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill Participation; and, (3) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Reliability. The last EP inspection at Millstone was conducted in the third quarter of 2009, so the inspectors reviewed supporting documentation from EP drills and tests from third quarter 2009 through third quarter 2010 to verify the accuracy of the repol1ed PI data. The review of these Pis was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151, using the acceptance criteria documented in NEI 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines," Revision 6. This inspection activity represented the completion of three samples on an annual cycle. b. Findings No findings were identified.

3 40A6 Meetings, Including Exit On October 22,2010, the inspectors presented the results of this inspection to Mr. A. J. Jordan, Millstone Site Vice President, and other members of the Millstone staff. No proprietary information was provided to the inspectors during this inspection.
