Here's some Millstone info.
Though its IG has cleared the NRC of charges it conspired to cover up
decades of unlicensed fuel off-loading practices at the Millstone 1
reactor near New London, Conn., the IG did find that weaknesses in the
NRC inspection program were key to Millstone's ability to engage in
fuel transfer practices for which they were not licensed.
NRC Chairman Shirley Jackson says the commission will move swiftly to
address inspection program deficiencies. Jackson has directed NRC
staff to explore "whether existing oversight processes need
improvement or new processes need to be developed" to produce earlier
commission recognition of irregularities such as those that occurred
at Millstone.
