Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation (NOV) associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding will be issued on or about March 30 2015, to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (licensee) as a result of a report submitted by the licensee under 10 CFR 71.95(b). The White finding, an issue of low to moderate safety significance, will result in additional NRC inspections.
The White finding involves the licensees failure to ship Type B quantity of radioactive material in a container that was approved or tested for that purpose. The significance of this event was based on the increased risk to the public and accident hazard posed when a Type B quantity of radioactive material was shipped in a container that was not approved or tested for that purpose.
The violation involves the licensees failure to maintain accurate records of radioactive waste being stored in designated areas which resulted in a violation of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Technical Specification 5.4.1. Specifically, information regarding the location and contents of the high integrity containers was not updated when the contents of process shield #10 were changed.
The NRC issued a choice letter to the licensee that described the preliminary White finding and the apparent violation. The licensee responded with additional information; however, after the staff reviewed this information, the staff concluded that the finding is appropriately characterized as a White finding.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement actions. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Final Significance Determination March 30, 2015 Telephone Notification of Licensee March 30, 2015 The State of Georgia will be notified.
