NRC CAL – NOV (White)

On May 10, 2012, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Virginia Electric and Power Company for a violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, “Procedures,” associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding involving Virginia Electric and Power Company’s failure to establish and maintain maintenance procedures appropriate to the circumstances for the safety-related emergency diesel generators (EDGs). Specifically, maintenance procedure 0-MCM-0701-27 did not provide adequate guidance for installation of the jacket water cooling inlet jumper gasket, which resulted in a faulty gasket installation on the Unit 2 “H” (2H) EDG in May 2010. As a result, the 2H EDG failed to perform its safety function when called upon on August 23, 2011.
