Subject:
Braidwood Nuclear Generating Plant Expiration of Security Officer Union Contract The current Union contract between the security officers represented by National Union of Nuclear Security Officers (NUNSO) and Constellation Energy Generation is about to expire. Negotiations are currently ongoing.
The NRC does not take part in the negotiations and is independent of any federal mediator involved in the negotiations between the company and represented employees. The NRCs sole focus is on ensuring the safety and security of the nations commercial nuclear facilities.
To that end, the NRC has been closely following the events leading up to the current situation.
If required to do so, the licensee has taken action to ensure the continued security of the facility, by using an augmented security officer staff from other nuclear facilities. All required security officer positions will be filled. NRC security inspectors have been on-site assessing the licensees preparations and the training of the augmented security force. The NRC will continue to monitor the utilitys actions to ensure that augmented personnel are qualified and capable of protecting the plant against security contingency events.
The NRC will continue to assess the licensees handling of the situation until it is resolved.
The information presented herein has been discussed with the license and is current as of 3:00 PM, April 1st, 2024.
