Description

On November 19, 2019, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $145,000 to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA, Licensee) for a Severity Level III violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.9. TVA submitted inaccurate information for NRC licensing decisions on multiple occasions as part of the licensing of Watts Bar Unit 2 from 2010 through 2013, and as part of a license amendment for Watts Bar Unit 1 in 2015. In multiple correspondence with the NRC from 2010 through 2015, TVA provided incomplete and inaccurate information by stating that appropriate analyses had been performed and demonstrated that the station's offsite electric power system was fully capable of meeting its design and licensing bases; however, a key design feature had not been modeled in the analyses.
