Number ML18319A379), the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Entergy Operations' Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3). Entergy concurs with the violation as cited in the Notice of Violation regarding the failure to review and accept, reject, repair or rework nonconforming items in accordance with documented
procedures. In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, this enclosure provides Entergy's reply to the Notice of Violation.
Description of Violation Violation During a NRC inspection conducted September 17 through October 4, 2018, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.  In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, the violation is listed below: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV, requires, in part, that nonconforming items shall be reviewed and accepted, rejected, repaired or reworked in
accordance with documented procedures. Contrary to the above, in May 2016, the licensee failed to review and accept, reject, repair or rework nonconforming items in accordance with documented procedures.  Specifically, following receipt of information from Electroswitch that a number of basic components within relays and switches did not conform to
quality requirements, the licensee failed to dedicate these commercial-grade
parts as described in 10 CFR Part 21. This violation is associated with a Green significance determination process finding.
End of Violation
Reason for the Violation Entergy personnel did not adequately follow procedure EN-LI-102, "Corrective Action Program"
resulting in a failure to properly review and accept, reject, repair or rework nonconforming items.
