A press release is being issued by
NFS [Nuclear Fuels Services].
NFS is implementing organizational, facility and management changes that will ensure an even more stringent level of safety controls and processes at the facility. During the implementation,
NFS will temporarily stand down certain process areas.
NFS developed these changes following consultation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), to ensure that the highest levels of safety commitment, culture and compliance are in place for licensed operational processes.
NFS is making these specific changes following a recent NRC review. Suspended operations include production operations, the Commercial Development Line and the down blending facility. These facilities will be brought back on line pending a third-party review and NRC review of the safety improvement implementations. Other areas of the plant will continue to operate.
