NRC Schedules a Regulatory Conference with Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a regulatory conference with officials from Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. on Feb.1, beginning at 9 a.m. Central time, to discuss the risk significance of a potential greater than green finding identified by the NRC during a special inspection at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.
Due to COVID-19 conditions, public participation will be via teleconference only. Meeting attendees will be able to listen to the meeting and ask questions following the business portion of the meeting by calling 1-301-576-2978, passcode 357032014#.
The purpose of this regulatory conference is for the NRC and Energy Harbor officials to discuss the risk significance of a preliminary greater than green finding before the agency makes its final significance determination. The finding involves the company’s failure to establish preventive maintenance procedures for diesel generator switch contacts, resulting in the diesel generator’s failure to start as designed during a routine test. This apparent violation was discussed in the Dec. 16 NRC inspection report.
A decision on the final safety significance of the apparent violation or any NRC actions will not be made at the meeting.
