Beaver Valley Power Station - NRC Office of Investigations Case No. 1-2021-013
Dear Mr. Grabnar:
The Region I Field Office, NRC Office of Investigations (OI), initiated an investigation (Case No.
1-2021-013) on May 26, 2021, to determine whether Beaver Valley employees willfully failed to follow a test procedure. Based upon documentary and testimonial evidence developed during the OI investigation, the NRC substantiated that Beaver Valley employees failed to follow a test procedure but did not substantiate that those employees acted willfully. Apparent violations of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1, Administrative Controls for Procedures, and 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and accuracy of information were identified and found to be minor because the failure to follow procedure did not impact the outcome of the test. Minor violations are not subject to formal enforcement action or documentation by the NRC. Therefore, these minor violations 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 report 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. Additional information is available on the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/foia/foia-privacy.html.
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 System (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).
