Dear Mr. Powell:
On July 6, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an apparent violation
to STP Nuclear Operating Company for the failure to maintain a quality record complete and
accurate in all material respects.
The NRC Inspection Report 05000498/2020090; 05000499/2020090 (NRC Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20188A214)
informed you that before the NRC makes its enforcement decision, we are providing you an
opportunity to (1) respond in writing to the apparent violation addressed in this inspection report
within 30 days of the date of this letter, (2) request a predecisional enforcement conference
(PEC), or (3) request alternative dispute resolution (ADR). In a letter, dated August 5, 2020,
you provided your response to the apparent violation (ADAMS Accession No. ML20218A448).
We have reviewed the information provided in your response with respect to your completed
and proposed actions.
On August 6, 2020, the NRC held a closed PEC with a former contract employee of STP
Nuclear Operating Company (ADAMS Accession No. ML20209A612). During this conference,
new information was presented to the NRC that is germane to our determination of the
significance of the apparent violation in Inspection Report 05000498/2020090;
The NRC will evaluate this new information and inform you in separate correspondence of our
final determination of the significance of the apparent violation.
