NRC NOV – NOV (White)

On May 8, 2023, the NRC issued a notice of violation associated with a white significance determination process finding to the Tennessee Valley Authority (licensee) at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 (BFN1). The white finding, an issue of low-to-moderate safety significance, involved the licensee’s failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI. This failure resulted in the inoperability of the BFN1 high‑pressure coolant injection system.
