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. 11
