NRC ORDER – ORDER

On November 21, 2017, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (CO) to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (Dominion), to formalize commitments made as a result of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session held on September 20, 2017. The commitments were made as part of a settlement agreement between Dominion and the NRC based on evidence gathered during an investigation in which the NRC had identified multiple examples of two apparent violations. The violations involved a, now-former, contract security officer who was employed by G4S Secure Solutions, USA, Inc. as an Armorer at Millstone who deliberately failed to: (1) perform required maintenance of site weapons; and (2) properly conduct monthly inventories of out of service weapons. The NRC also determined that the contract security officer deliberately falsified records related to both of these issues. Because licensees are responsible for the actions of their employees and contractors, the NRC concluded that the contract security officer's actions placed Millstone in violation of NRC requirements and the NRC-approved Millstone Security Plan. In response to the incident, Dominion agreed to complete additional corrective actions and enhancements, as fully discussed in the CO. In consideration of the corrective actions and commitments outlined in the CO, the NRC agreed not to pursue any further enforcement action (including issuance of a civil penalty) relating to the notice of apparent violations (Case no. EA-17-077, Inspection Report Nos. 05000336/2017405 & 05000423/2017405, Office of Investigations Report No. 1-2016-019), dated July 20, 2017.
