The supplemental inspection was conducted to review the Dominion Energy Kewaunee (DEK) actions taken to address a Yellow finding and a White performance indicator.
The Yellow finding involved a failure to evaluate and repair a fuel oil leak on an emergency diesel generator. The White performance indicator was in the area of "Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours."

Several of these measures were highlighted during the discussion.
A listing of the highlighted corrective actions that were considered important in preventing similar problems at Kewaunee was developed as a follow-up to this meeting.
This list of actions and associated completion dates are provided as an attachment to this letter. DEK is formally committing to complete these actions by the dates indicated in the attachment.
