NRC CAL – NOV (White)

On March 30, 2015, he NRC issued a Notice of Violation associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., for the licensee's failure to maintain accurate records of radioactive waste being stored in designated areas which resulted in a violation of Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Technical Specification 5.4.1. Specifically, information regarding the location and contents of the high integrity containers was not updated when the contents of process shield #10 were changed. This failure to maintain accurate records resulted in a shipment of Type B quantity of radioactive material being shipped in a container that was not approved or tested for that purpose. The significance of this event was based on the increased risk to the public and accident hazard posed when a Type B quantity of radioactive material was shipped in a container that was not approved or tested for that purpose.
