## Description

On July 27, 2017, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (CO) to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for a violation identified during the staff’s performance of a Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) (ML17069A133). The CO is the result of a violation for failure to implement a 2009 Adverse Employee Action (AEA) Process Confirmatory Order (ML093510993). The PI&R inspection was conducted as follow-up for a chilled work environment letter (ML16083A479) that had been issued to WBN. The new Order requires TVA to confirm proper implementation of all past orders, implement independent oversight for the AEA process, and take additional actions to understand and improve safety culture.
