| Title | Technical Specification Violation |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone:
On January 21, 2026, a technical specification (TS) violation was discovered per TS 3.4.d due to improper shielding during operation. The TS requires that the thermal column be filled with water or graphite, however, the thermal column contained water and lead. Since lead is not identified in the TS as a permissible shield, this was identified as a violation. The site will file a license amendment to add lead to the TS as an approved shielding material for the thermal column. The licensee notified the NRC Project Manager and Inspector. |
