1.0 Summary

Description In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) is submitting a license amendment request to amend Facility Operating License DPR-21 for Millstone Power Station Unit 1 (MPS1), Facility Operating License DPR-65 for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2), and Facility Operating License NPF-49 for Millstone Power Station Unit* 3 (MPS3). The amendments would revise the licenses to change the name of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. to Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. 2.0 Description of the Proposed Change The proposed license amendments would replace "Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc." with "Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc." where appropriate in the licenses.

References to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. or to DNC in the Facility Operating Licenses relating to the license transfer that occurred on March 31, 2001 are marked with an asterisk to indicate that on May 12, 2017 the name "Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc." was changed to "Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc." Other references to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. or DNC contained in the Facility Operating Licenses, including the cover page of the Environmental Protection Plan in Appendix 8 (MPS3) and Design Features page (MPS1, MPS2 and MPS3), have been changed to the new name "Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc." or "DENC." Additionally, references to Dominion Resources, Inc. have been changed to "Dominion Energy, Inc." On May 10, 2017, the name "Dominion Resources, Inc." was changed to "Dominion Energy, Inc." A mark-up of the proposed changes to the MPS1, MPS2 and MPS3 licenses, including proposed changes to the Appendix 8 cover page and Design Features pages, are provided in Attachments 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

3.0 Background

In connection with a corporate rebranding, Dominion Resources, Inc. (DNC's ultimate parent) is changing its name to Dominion Energy Inc., and a number of subsidiaries are also changing their names to conform to the "Dominion Energy" brand. As part of this corporate rebranding, DNC is changing its name to Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DENC). This is a name change only. DNC's corporate existence will continue uninterrupted and all of its legal characteristics will remain the Serial No.17-225 Docket Nos. 50-245/336/423 Attachment 1, Page 2 of 4 same. The name change does not involve any change to DNC's ownership, management (including officers and directors), organization, operation, obligations; nor is there any change in the functions of DNC, or the way it does business.

Therefore, the amendments are purely administrative, and the name change does not constitute any transfer of the licenses that would require NRC consent under 10 CFR 50.80. The name change does not affect DNC's financial qualifications or decommissioning funding assurance, or otherwise impact DNC's ability to comply with any of its obligations or responsibilities under the Facility Operating Licenses.

The proposed amendments do not alter any technical content of the licenses or have any affect effect on the design, function, or operation of plant systems, structures or components or on the current licensing basis of the units. Based on these considerations, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. 4.0 No Significant Hazards Consideration According to 10 CFR 50.92(c), a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. In support of this determination, an evaluation of each of the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) is provided below regarding the proposed license amendments.

Criterion 1 Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No. The proposed amendment to each license is administrative in nature. DNC, which will be renamed Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., will remain the licensee authorized to operate and possess the units, and its functions, powers, resources and management will not change. The proposed changes do not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors, and do not alter the design assumptions, conditions, or Serial No.17-225 Docket Nos. 50-245/336/423 Attachment 1, Page 3 of 4 configuration of the plant or the manner in which the plant is operated and maintained.

The ability of structures, systems, and components to perform their intended safety functions is not altered or prevented by the proposed changes, and the assumptions used in determining the radiological consequences of previously evaluated accidents are not affected.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 2 Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No. The proposed amendment to each license is purely administrative in nature. The functions of the licensee will not change. These changes do not involve any physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed), and installed equipment is not being operated in a new or different manner. Thus, no new failure modes are introduced. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 3 Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety? Response:

No The proposed amendment to each license is administrative in nature. DNC, which will be renamed Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., will remain the licensee authorized to operate and possess the units, and its functions will not change. The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or limiting conditions for operation are determined.

There are no changes to setpoints at which protective actions are initiated, and the operability requirements for equipment assumed to operate for accident mitigation are not affected.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Conclusion Based upon evaluation of these criteria, DNC concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards under the standards set forth in 10 C.F.R. 50.92(c) and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

-/ ' 5.0 Environmental Consideration Serial No. 17 -225 Docket Nos. 50-245/336/423 Attachment 1, Page 4 of 4 The requested license amendments are administrative in nature and limited to changing the name of a licensee.

Accordingly, the amendments meet the categorical exclusion in 1 O C.F.R. 51.22(c)(10)(iii).

Therefore, pursuant to 1 O C.F.R. 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the requested amendments.
