| Title | DID Not Keep Adequate Records, Follow Procedures, and Perform Inventory of Special Nuclear Material |
| Description | The inspectors identified an apparent violation of 10 CFR 74.19 because Entergy and its predecessor did not keep adequate special nuclear material inventory records of two spent fuel rod pieces, did not follow its written procedures when two spent fuel rod pieces were moved to a fuel storage liner, and did not conduct adequate periodic physical inventories of the two spent fuel rod pieces.
Because the two spent fuel rod pieces remained in the Vermont Yankee spent fuel pool, the entire time the apparent violation existed, there was no actual safety consequence of this apparent violation. Nevertheless, the NRC considers this apparent violation a potentially significant failure of Entergys material and control accounting program. This failure could have resulted in these two spent fuel rod pieces being inappropriately included in a shipment of radioactive material to a low-level radioactive waste site. |
