Regarding NRC News Release No. II-08-002: Q: What are some of the corrective actions taken by the company? One NRC document I read referred to a corrective action of installing brackets onto the raschig ring vacuum cleaners for transport. Is that one of the corrective actions, and has it been completed? What other corrective actions have been taken? A: We developed a comprehensive list of corrective actions in response to last year incident. Currently, we are in the process of completing all corrective actions, and are on schedule to meet our commitments to the NRC. Q: The Company was given 30 days to pay the fine or appeal it. Which action was taken? A; The company paid the fine. Regarding Wastewater Treatment inquiry: Q: I just learned that the city's wastewater treatment plant is studying the idea of treating water from the B&W facility, and that B&W is paying for the study. Could you provide information, or connect me with someone in the company who can offer a comment on this study? Has B&W been treating its own water before? Why is the company interested in possibly having the city treat the water instead? A: A number of new regulations have been issued in recent years to address discharges of nutrients to the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. To meet the new requirements, B&W is studying a variety of options, including the possibility of constructing a new pipeline to allow us to discharge a portion of our wastewater into the city's waste water treatment plant. We are working with the Lynchburg Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility and Campbell County to perform a feasibility study for this option to ensure that the city's treatment plant can handle our flow without impacting their current treatment parameters. It's important to note that these wastewaters are non-radioactive. However, the project is still very much in the preliminary stages and a decision on whether or not to pursue this option wont be made for some time. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Munday), NMSS EO (Giitter) and Fuels OUO via email. |
