Description

On October 24, 2012, the NRC issued two White findings with associated violations and a Notice of Violation (NOV) for a Severity Level III violation to Energy Northwest (licensee) as a result of an inspection at the Columbia Generating Station. The first White finding involved the failure to maintain a standard emergency action level scheme in accordance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). The second White finding involved the failure to maintain adequate methods for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9). A Severity Level III violation was assessed for the licensee's failure to recognize that their identified inaccuracies in the dose projection system was a major loss of emergency assessment capability and did not report it to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The licensee has informed the NRC that multiple corrective actions are in place and/or planned.
