| Title | Willful Violation of Documentation Procedures |
| Description | This letter refers to an investigation initiated by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) in March 2012 at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3). The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether an individual employed as an electrical contractor at Waterford 3 falsified procedure paperwork. As a result of the investigation, the NRC confirmed that, contrary to the following, the former electrical contractor willfully falsified procedure paperwork by signing a work package with the initials of another person. Contrary to the above, on November 16, 2010, a contract employee willfully signed work package 224179, Task 6, Documentation of Cable Installation for Cable number 3SSPP82, step 4.3.5, Sections 10.1.8, 10.2.19, and 10.3.1 (one example) with the initials of another person, for work that he did not perform and did not state that he was signing for the other person. The former electrical contractors falsifications were discovered by your staff through an internal investigation in November 2011. However, the NRC considered the violation to have been more significant than minor, because it involved willfulness, and therefore, the NRC has classified the violation at Severity Level IV, in accordance with the Enforcement Policy. The NRC considered issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV) for this issue. However, the NRC credits the identification of the issue to the licensee. As stated in the Enforcement Manual, Section 6.6.5.B, and in accordance with the Enforcement Policy, the NRC may disposition a licensee-identified Severity Level IV willful violation involving a low level individual as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV). |
