Description

On April 11, 2016, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. for a Severity Level III Problem involving two related violations of NRC requirements. The first violation involved the failure to conduct compensatory fire watches as required by Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station's corporate procedures and 10 CFR 50.48. Specifically, on multiple occasions between June 1, 2012, and June 26, 2014, fire watch personnel failed to examine the areas involved in the hourly fire watch postings for evidence of fire or conditions that may lead to a fire. The second violation involved the failure to maintain complete and accurate records as required by 10 CFR 50.9(a). Specifically, on multiple occasions during the same time frame, log sheets for hourly fire watches were falsified when an individual initialed that fire watches were completed when in fact, these fire watches had not been performed.
