Mr.
June 14, 2012 Mr. John Ventosa, Site Vice President RI-2011-A-0011 Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

Subject:
NRC Office of Investigations Case No. 1-2011-022
Dear Mr. Ventosa:
The Region I Field Office, NRC Office of Investigations (OI), initiated an investigation (Case No.
1-2011-022) on February 17, 2011, to determine whether an Instrumentation & Controls (I&C)
Supervisor forged signatures and other information on a Technical Specification required procedure for the calibration of temperature instruments on the 23 emergency diesel generator (EDG). Based on the results of the investigation, the NRC found insufficient evidence to conclude that there was any willfulness on the part of the I&C Supervisor.
Nevertheless, a violation for failing to follow procedures was identified. This issue was entered into the Corrective Action Program by Entergy personnel and corrective actions were initiated.
The safety significance of the violation was evaluated by the NRC and was found to be minor because the NRC did not identify any instances where the required work was not properly performed. Minor violations represent items of very low safety significance and are not subject to formal enforcement action or documentation by the NRC. Therefore, this minor violation will not be documented in an inspection report and no further regulatory action is planned.
Please note that final NRC investigation documents, such as the OI reports described above, may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) subject to redaction of information appropriate under the FOIA. Requests under the FOIA should be made in accordance with 10 CFR 9.23, Requests for Records, a copy of which is enclosed for your information.
Also, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter 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).
No response to this letter is required. Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr. Mel Gray of my staff at (610) 337-5209.
Sincerely,
/RA/ Clifford for Darrell J. Roberts, Director Division of Reactor Projects
