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.
