NRC ORDER – ORDER

On August 26, 2015, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (CO) to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC), to formalize commitments made as a result of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session held on July 15, 2015 and two follow up conference calls. The commitments were made as part of a settlement agreement between DNC and the NRC regarding apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests, and Experiments." The apparent violations involved implementing changes to documents related to Millstone Unit 2 spent fuel decay time limits and the Millstone Unit 2 chemical and volume control system (CVCS) charging pumps without the NRC's approval and providing incomplete and inaccurate information to the NRC. One of the apparent violations was considered to have been willful. In response to these apparent violations, DNC agreed to complete a number of actions as fully discussed in the CO. In consideration for those actions, the NRC agreed not to pursue further enforcement action.
