April 28, 2023 MEMORANDUM TO:
Daniel H. Dorman Executive Director for Operations THRU:
David L. Pelton, Director Office of Enforcement FROM:
Lisamarie L. Jarriel Agency Allegation Advisor
SUBJECT:
ALLEGATION PROGRAM CY 2022 ANNUAL TRENDS REPORT In accordance with Management Directive 8.8, Management of Allegations, dated January 29, 2016, the Agency Allegation Advisor is to offer the Executive Director for Operations an independent annual report analyzing allegation trends. A copy of the annual trends report for calendar year 2022 is enclosed.
The report analyzes national, regional, and site-specific trends in allegation data. From a national perspective, the total number of allegations received declined between calendar years 2018 and 2020, but in 2021 the number of allegations the NRC received increased by approximately 40 percent. In 2022, reactor allegations increased, but those involving materials facilities fell by approximately 14 percent, resulting in a slight decline in total allegations received last year.
The analyses also provide insights into the environment for raising concerns at four reactor sites that were the subject of many allegations. A review of the number and nature of the allegations associated with the Vogtle Unit 3, Vogtle Unit 4, and Columbia sites in 2022, and inspections conducted by the NRC, indicates that most workers were not hesitant to raises safety concerns through many of the available reporting avenues. Furthermore, the NRC notes that the licensees are actively monitoring their environments to identify and address any challenges to the environment for raising concerns. Regarding the South Texas site, the NRC is continuing to monitor the licensees actions to address challenges to the environment and will take additional action as necessary to ensure workers are not hesitant to raise concerns. None of the materials or vendor sites received enough allegations to discern a trend or pattern or to provide insights into their work environments.
