BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS CASE NUMBER 2-2009-017
Dear Mr. Swafford:
Enclosed for your information is the synopsis of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Office of Investigations= (OI) completed report regarding whether a nuclear maintenance supervisor employed by the TVA willfully signed the RCIC procedure related to the over-speed test without verifying that the procedure had been completed, thus submitting incomplete and inaccurate information material to the NRC.
OI did not substantiate that a nuclear maintenance supervisor employed by the TVA willfully signed the RCIC procedure related to the over-speed test without verifying that the procedure had been completed, thus submitting incomplete and inaccurate information material to the NRC.
Accordingly, enforcement action is not warranted, and we plan no further actions with regard to this matter. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
Eugene F. Guthrie, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 6 Division of Reactor Projects
