SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS ANALYSIS OF DOMINION ENERGY NUCLEAR CONNECTICUTS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT FOR MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 1, DOCKET NO. 50-245

Dear Craig Sly:

By letter dated March 30, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received your decommissioning funding status (DFS) report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22089A186) for Millstone Power Station, Unit No. 1 (MPS1).

The NRC has reviewed and analyzed the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate, as required in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.82(a)(4)(i), Termination of license - For power reactor licensees. The NRC also verified the amount(s) stated within the licensees decommissioning trust fund, as of December 31, 2021, for the above plant, as well as earnings assumptions.

Based on the reported decommissioning trust fund balance of $801.8 million for Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DENC), together with earnings credits specified under NRC regulations, the NRC has determined that as of December 31, 2021, DENC is providing the funds necessary to meet decommissioning funding assurance requirements at the site, and hence has funding in place to meet the radiological decommissioning expenses to achieve license termination at the site.

This letter confirms the correspondence, described above, regarding DFS reports for permanently shut down power reactors as required under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(v) - (vi). As of the date of this letter, considering the available information, the NRC has determined that DENC has satisfied the decommissioning funding assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.82 for MPS1 on December 31, 2021.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

C. Sly If you have any questions in this matter, please call me at (301) 415-8534 or email me at Karl.Sturzebecher@nrc.gov.
