SUMMARY
Licensee: Holtec International Facility: Krishna P. Singh Technology Campus, located in Camden, New Jersey License No.: N/A Docket No.: 72-1014 EA-18-151 On November 29, 2018, the NRC issued Holtec a Choice Letter EA-18-151 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) No. ML18306A853) describing two apparent violations under consideration for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The apparent violations involve: (1) failure to establish adequate design control measures as a part of the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the functions of the structures, systems, and components which are important to safety, in accordance with 10 CFR 72.146(a),
Design control, and (2) failure to perform a 10 CFR 72.48 evaluation when required.
The letter transmitting the inspection report provided Holtec with the opportunity to address the apparent violations identified in the report by either: (1) attending a Pre-decisional Enforcement Conference (PEC), or (2) participating in an Alternative Dispute Resolution session prior to our final enforcement decision. In a letter dated December 3, 2018, (ADAMS Accession No. ML18341A126) Holtec requested a PEC.
On January 9, 2019, a PEC was convened at the NRC Headquarters. The purpose was to provide an opportunity for Holtec to provide any information that they would like NRC to consider in the final enforcement determination, including determining whether an enforcement action is necessary. The PEC focused on areas such as (1) a common understanding of the facts and root causes, and (2) a common understanding of Holtecs corrective actions taken or planned. No decisions were reached or discussed during the conference.
The attendance list, the NRC's presentation, and the Holtecs presentation are attached to this summary. The attendance list is Enclosure 1. NRCs presentation is Enclosure 2, and Holtecs presentation is Enclosure 3. The PEC transcript is available in ADAMS (Accession No. ML19088A271).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this summary and its enclosures will be made available to the Public.
