NRC NOV – —

On April 5, 2019, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation to Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) for violations of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V and 10 CFR 50.9 at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, associated with a Severity Level III Problem identified through an investigation conducted by the NRC Office of Investigations. Contrary to the requirements, Entergy watchstanders, on numerous occasions, failed to tour all required areas of their watchstations resulting in the licensee's failure to maintain information required by the NRC's regulations that was complete and accurate in all material respects. Credit was given to the licensee for identification and corrective action so no civil penalty was issued to the licensee.
