- **Licensee:** NOV (White)
- **Category:** Reactor Licensees
- **Action type:** CAL
- **Date issued:** 2009-06-08
## Description

On June 8, 2009, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Constellation Energy for a violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, "Procedures" at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. The violation, which is associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding, involved the failure to implement a Technical Specification-required procedure. Specifically, in March 2008, the licensee did not implement steps for cleaning and lubricating the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump's governor linkage assembly, as required. Failure to conduct this preventative maintenance led to the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump being declared inoperable when the governor linkage became stuck, preventing the pump from obtaining the required discharge pressure and flow during surveillance testing in December 2008.
