No: I-15-012 April 2, 2015 CONTACT: Diane Screnci, 610-337-5330 Neil Sheehan, 610-337-5331 NRC Finalizes Security-Related Inspection Finding for Millstone Nuclear Power Plant, Resulting in Additional Oversight The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will increase its level of oversight at the Millstone nuclear power plant following the finalization of a security-located in Waterford, Conn. The NRC uses a color-coded assessment system for inspection findings and performance indicators, with colors ranging from green, for very low safety or security significance, to white, yellow or red, connoting high safety or security significance. In the case of security-related inspection findings been crossed. However, the agency does not provide specifics because of the sensitive nature of the information associated with such findings and indicators. NRC inspectors identified the finding following a security baseline inspection at the Millstone plant concluded on Nov. 24, 2014. The finding was documented in an inspection report issued on Jan. 5. The NRC requested that Dominion take part in a regulatory conference with agency staff to provide additional information and perspectives regarding the finding. That closed conference was held After considering the information presented by the company, and the information developed follow-checked that compensatory measures were implemented The Millstone Unit 3 plant was already under additional NRC oversight after receiving a finalized white (low to moderate significance) inspection finding last year. That finding stemmed from bine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump from May 2013 through February 2014.
