As stated in the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, 2013 End-of-Cycle Assessment Letter, dated March 4, 2014 (ADAMS Ascension Number ML14063A288), from January 1 to December 31, 2013, the NRC issued three Severity Level IV traditional enforcement violations associated with impeding the regulatory process. Those violations were:
