The so called violation in the Confirmatory Letter are illusory Violations. They totally bypass ROP...it is as if they really don't count to the NRC. Basically the violations are a off the books contractual agreement between the NRC and Dominion...a agreement saying they are violations. This has no bearing on the "report card grade" of Dominion.
This began with a official employee NRC allegation in 2011, why did it take so long for the agency admit it with a Confirmatory Letter.
Justice delayed is justice denied. I think with all those NRC employees the agency should make a swift determination of wrong-doing and then quickly make the licensee bring the facility back to licensing condition.
It should never be a negotiation of equals...it should be a demand with a noose around their necks if they don't comply.
They decay heat deal has a long history. Taking to many professional, the decay heat deal is astonishing. Shocking. In the last life mid (1990s) it created a host of whistleblowers on site and got them shutdown for three years. Basically it took them 3 years to deal with it. It is like getting a speeding ticket three years after speeding.

Pg 1 Factual Summary: On November 4, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Office of Investigations (01), Region I Field Office, conducted an investigation to determine if Dominion Nuclear Connecticut (DNC) staff at Millstone Nuclear Power Station (Millstone) deliberately violated NRC requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.59, "Changes, Tests, and Experiments," when implementing changes to documents related to the Millstone, Unit 2 chemical and volume control system (CVCS) charging pumps and spent fuel decay time limits.
In a letter dated April 29, 2015, the NRC provided DNC the results of the investigation, informed DNC that escalated enforcement action was being considered for two of the three apparent violations, and offered DNC the opportunity to attend a predecisional enforcement conference or to participate in ADR in which a neutral mediator with no decision-making authority would facilitate discussions between the NRC and DNC.
