Description

On April 6, 2021, the NRC issued a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of a Civil Penalty in the amount of $150,000 to the Florida Power & Light Company for a Severity Level III problem at Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station. The enforcement action is the result of two separate investigations completed by the NRC’s Office of Investigations. The first investigation determined that three mechanics willfully falsified the inspection and maintenance of a safety-related check valve in the auxiliary feedwater system. This event occurred in January 2019. The second investigation determined that two technicians, a supervisor and a manager, willfully failed to inform control room staff that maintenance had been performed on the wrong unit’s Chemical and Volume Control System charging pump. This second event occurred in July 2019. As a result of these two investigations, the staff identified two violations of 10 CFR 50.9(a), “Completeness and Accuracy of Information,” and a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVII, “Quality Assurance Records.”
