Description
On December 2, 2010, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and a Confirmatory Order to AREVA NP, Inc., as a result of an Alternate Dispute Resolution settlement for a violation of 10 CFR 71.5(a) and 49 CFR 172.204(a) involving inaccurate transportation records for several export shipments of special nuclear material (SNM). Specifically, on December 9, 2009, and March 11 and 18, 2009, an AREVA employee deliberately altered (falsified) the reference and date stamp on three documents entitled "Approval to Transit a UK [United Kingdom] Port" associated with the export of SNM from the United States to Germany by Areva NP, Inc.
