SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.

NRC Inspection Report No. 05000245/2010007

A routine announced safety inspection was conducted from March 15-16,2010, at

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 (U 1). The inspection reviewed operations, maintenance, and

plant support activities associated with U 1 while in SAFSTOR status. The inspector also

reviewed additional information provided by the licensee dated March 17, 23, and 29, 2010 as

part of this inspection. Within the scope of this inspection, no safety concerns or violations were

identified.

There are no ongoing decommissioning activities being conducted at Millstone U 1.

Facilities Management and Control

The only changes expected to the licensee's program are personnel changes due to a reduction

in force. Retention of personnel with knowledge of plant functions and operations will meet the

staffing requirements required in their Technical Specifications Section 6.2.2. The NRC will

continue to review the knowledge management transfer during future inspections. Regarding

transfer and sale of non-safety related systems and components, the licensee maintained a

comprehensive record of each transfer and sale.

Spent Fuel Pool Safety

The licensee adequately maintained safety-related systems and components necessary for the

safe operation of the Spent Fuel Pool.

Inspections of Final Surveys

The licensee's implementation of its radiation survey program was adequate. The licensee

continued to survey the buildings in order to identify areas of contamination and minimize the

spread of contamination. The licensee had no near term plans to decontaminate the buildings

and pursue decommissioning at this time. The licensee plans to continue in the SAFSTOR

program until 2048.

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (lSFSI) Construction and Component

Fabrication

After a formal assessment of spent fuel storage options in 2007, the licensee concluded that

they would keep the Millstone U1 fuel in the Spent Fuel Pool, in a SAFSTOR status, until 2048.

Based on the results of this inspection, the licensee maintained the fuel and Spent Fuel Pool,

along with the necessary support infrastructure, in an adequate manner and satisfied the

requirements of a SAFSTOR site.
