SUBJECT:
FRAMATOME - INTEGRATED CORE INSPECTION REPORT 07001257/2025004
Dear Brian Vance:
This letter refers to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection activities conducted from October 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. During that time, the NRC did not conduct any core inspection activities on-site.
No violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Due to the temporary cessation of government operations, which commenced on October 01, 2025, the NRC began operating under its Office of Management and Budget-approved plan for operations during a lapse in appropriations. Consistent with that plan, the NRC operated at reduced staffing levels throughout the duration of the shutdown. However, the NRC continued to perform critical health and safety functions and make progress on other high-priority activities associated with the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300. On November 13, 2025, following the passage of a continuing resolution, the NRC resumed normal operations.
However, due to the 43-day lapse in normal operations, the NRC modified the facilitys inspection plan (ML25344A465) considering inspection of partial samples, previously inspected, and deferred inspections in accordance with IMC 2600.
