SUBJECT:
BWXT NUCLEAR OPERATIONS GROUP, INC. - MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT 07000027/2025405
Dear Howard Markle:
On September 11, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at BWXT Nuclear Operations Group, Inc. On September 11, 2025, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Daniel Ashworth and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
No violations of more than minor significance were identified during this inspection.
Due to the temporary cessation of government operations, which commenced on October 1, 2025, the NRC began operating under its Office of Management and Budget-approved plan for operations during a lapse in appropriations. Consistent with that plan, the NRC operated at reduced staffing levels throughout the duration of the shutdown. However, the NRC continued to perform critical health and safety functions. On November 13, 2025, following the passage of a continuing resolution, the NRC resumed normal operations. However, due to the 43-day lapse in normal operations, some scheduled inspection report documentation activities were delayed.
This letter will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
