Unit 3 at the Millstone Power Station will receive a normal level of Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspections during 2012, while Unit 2 will have an additional inspection because of a February 2011 incident of low-to-moderate safety significance involving a faulty test of main turbine control valves.
In a letter released Wednesday, the NRC informed Millstone owner Dominion that a review of all the inspections of Unit 3 during 2011 revealed no serious findings.
At Unit 2, there were five findings of "very low" significance and one of "low-to-moderate" significance during 2011 that will prompt the additional inspection.
