" 15 findings of very low safety significance (Green)
U.S.NRC United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRC Inspection Findings Protecting People and the Environment Indian Point 3 - Examples
" 2nd Qtr 2009: Green Finding for inadequate maintenance procedures on feedwater regulating valves that resulted in a manual reactor trip.
Q 4th Qtr 2009: Green Finding for inadequate maintenance on main boiler feedwater pumps that resulted in an unexpected downpower transient and reactor trip.
Groundwater Deviation MemoU~S'!!:d?*N~m~
Protecting People and the Environment if NRC team inspection determined that Entergy's long term Groundwater Monitoring Program for Indian Point provides continued radiological monitoring of the groundwater conditions to confirm conformance with NRC regulatory requirements.
W Baseline inspections provide appropriate resources to continue to monitor groundwater activities.
W The Deviation Memo, in place since 2006, was not renewed in 2010.
