Title | Concurrent Report Concerning Nrc News Release |
Event Description | In response to media inquiries concerning the NRC's news release involving a notice of violation and proposed civil penalty, Babcock & Wilcox Company responded for BWXT with the attached information to media representatives from Lynchburg News & Advance and the Associated Press out of West Virginia. As requested the NRC news release is also attached.
B&W Response to NRC's Notice of Violation: The incident occurred when an operator responded to a spill of hydrofluoric acid using an incorrect neutralizing chemical. As a result, the operator incurred an injury to his eyes. As noted in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Notice of Violation, the actions of the employee, his coworkers and our onsite emergency team after the hydrofluoric acid exposure occurred ensured that the employee was not seriously injured as a result of this incident. This fact is confirmed by the statements of four independent medical opinions; one of these physicians was independently contracted by the NRC. The company [BWXT] acknowledges that this incident identified weaknesses in our spill response procedures and chemical labeling practices. Corrective actions have been developed to address these weaknesses. The company will submit a written response to the NRC within 30 days. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector. |
