SUBJECT:

REVIEW OF THE NOTIFICATION OF PLANNED DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1, DECOMMISSIONING TRUST FUND (TAC NO. MB6320)

In a letter dated September 12, 2002, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. notified the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of its intention to withdraw $55 million from its Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 1, Decommissioning Trust Fund. This action is required under License Condition 2.C.(6)(c) of the Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 1 (Millstone 1) Facility Operating License, which states that the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations shall be given thirty days prior written notice before making disbursements from the Millstone Unit No. 1, Decommissioning Trust Fund. The September 12, 2002, letter constitutes the thirty-day prior written notice for License Condition 2.C.(6)(c),

as well as Section 4.01 of the Trust Agreement.

As per 10 CFR 50.82, a site specific decommissioning plan for Millstone 1 has been previously filed with the NRC. The staff finds that the descriptions of the planned decommissioning activities to be financed with the $55 million withdrawal as stated in the September 12, 2002, letter, fall within the scope of required decommissioning activities to radiologically decontaminate Millstone 1.

Therefore, the staff finds no objection to the withdrawal of $55 million from the Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 1, Decommissioning Trust Fund for use as stated in the September 12, 2002, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. letter. This completes our effort under the above TAC number.
