Description

On December 7, 2010, the NRC issued a White finding with associated violation and Notice of Violation (NOV) for a Severity Level III violation to Carolina Power and Light Company (doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas Inc (PEC)) as a result of inspections at the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2. The White finding involved the failure to identify and correct a problem associated with the "B" Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) output breaker in 2008. Again in 2009, a similar malfunction caused the EDG to be declared inoperable for a period greater than Technical Specifications. A 10 CFR 50.9, "Completeness and Accuracy of Information," NOV for a Severity Level III violation was also assessed for submitting materially inaccurate information. PEC provided information which stated that the breaker was tested in accordance with a maintenance procedure. However, the NRC determined that they had not conducted full testing in accordance with the procedure, and only completed the instructions for returning the breaker to service.
