At 2007 [EDT] on 3/17/18, a security Officer reported finding a container of herbal tea (Kombucha) on a platform in the Unit 1 Emergency Switchgear Room, which is located inside the Protected Area. Kombucha tea is a fermented tea containing trace amounts of alcohol, and is legally sold without restrictions. Dominion had previously notified its workforce that Kombucha tea was prohibited from being consumed or carried on-site. This is considered an alcoholic beverage and is being reported under the requirements of
10 CFR 26.719.
The individual who brought the beverage on-site was identified and escorted out of the Protected Area.
The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The licensee will also be contacting the County Administrator for Louisa County,
Virginia.
