Waterford — Dominion Resources will enter into a third-party mediation process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to resolve issues raised by three apparent violations at the Millstone Power Station recently identified by the NRC.

Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone, said Monday that the company is seeking an “efficient and amicable resolution of the investigation findings.” The company informed the NRC Friday that it is opting for the Alternative Dispute Resolution Process in response to apparent violations the NRC found at Unit 2.

The three apparent violations, which follow three mid-level safety violations at Millstone in 2014 and a fourth last month, have prompted state officials to request a special meeting with the NRC. State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Rob Klee has asked the NRC for a “government to government” meeting with the NRC to brief his staff and that of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy about the public health and safety implications of the findings. The meeting has not yet been scheduled.

The apparent violations, announced May 1, include a “willful violation” involving changes to a safety report that omitted information so it was “not complete and accurate,” the NRC said. The report was submitted as part of a license amendment request to the NRC. The second finding pertained to a “non-willful apparent violation” involving documents about a charging pumps that are part of the plant’s emergency cooling system. The NRC is considering these two apparent violations for escalated enforcement.

The third apparent violation, which is not being considered for escalated enforcement, involved changes made to the same safety report that decreased the amount of decay time for irradiated nuclear fuel without getting NRC approval. The fuel was not damaged or overheated, however, the NRC said. All of the apparent violations occurred in 2011 or earlier, but the NRC did not conclude its investigation into events the until 2014.

Holt said that while changes Millstone staff made to technical specifications at the plant were previously approved by the NRC, the changes were not executed.

In the Alternative Dispute Resolution Process, Dominion will not directly dispute the facts as presented by the NRC, but will attempt to resolve misunderstandings and find areas of agreement, Holt said.

Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC, said that the process centers on a third-party mediator who will work with the agency and Dominion to find a settlement.

“We’re looking for an enforcement action that both sends a message and can lead to some changes,” he said. “The end goal is to make sure we’re sending a message about the violations that occurred.”
