On January 28, 2020, NRCs Office of Investigations, Region III Field Office initiated an investigation into security-related deliberate concerns associated with the greater than green finding. This investigation was completed on October 16, 2020. Based on the evidence developed during the investigation the concerns were not substantiated.

The NRC has concluded that the information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence, and the Enclosures 1 and 2 contain Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information.
