The permit authorizes the construction of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 (Watts Bar or facility), in accordance with conditions specified therein. The facility is located on the Applicant’s site in Spring City, Tennessee. This Confirmatory Order is the result of an agreement reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on May 21, 2012. On January 13, 2012, the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) completed an investigation (OI Case No. 2–2011–003) regarding activities at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, the NRC staff concluded that on or about August 16, 2010, an electrician and foreman employed by a subcontractor at Watts Bar, Unit 2, deliberately falsified work order packages for primary containment penetrations, and caused TVA to be in apparent violation of 10 CFR part 50, appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, and 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information. The results of the investigation were sent to TVA in a letter dated March 23, 2012. III On May 21, 2012, the NRC and TVA met in an ADR session mediated by a professional mediator, arranged through Cornell University’s Institute on Conflict Resolution. ADR is a process in which a neutral mediator with no decision-making authority assists the parties in reaching an agreement or resolving any differences regarding their dispute. This confirmatory order is issued pursuant to the agreement reached during the ADR process. The elements of the agreement consist of the following: 1. TVA agreed that on or about August 16, 2010, one violation occurred involving the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, and 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information. Specifically, on August 16, 2010, two subcontractor employees (one craft and one craft foreman) at Watts Bar Unit 2 deliberately falsified the micrometer readings for cables listed in Modification/Addition Instruction (MAI) 3.3 data sheets, and falsely annotated on the WOs that micrometer PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41811 readings had been performed for cables in primary containment penetrations, when the micrometer readings had not been completed. Additionally, the craft foreman falsely attested that a work order review, field walk down, review of craft documentation, and the scope of work had all been completed. The failure to follow the WO procedures and perform the required micrometer measurements, field walk downs, and WO reviews is a violation of 10 CFR part 50, appendix B, Criterion V, which requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. As a result of the WOs and MAI 3.3 data sheets being falsified, the applicant also failed to comply with 10 CFR 50.9(a), which requires, in part, that information required by the Commission’s regulations to be maintained by an applicant shall be complete and accurate in all material respects. 10 CFR part 50, appendix B, Criterion XVII, Quality Assurance Records, requires that sufficient records be maintained to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. The WOs and associated MAI– 3.3 data sheets are related to primary containment penetration electrical cabling, which involve activities affecting quality, and thus are required by 10 CFR part 50, appendix B, Criterion XVII, to be maintained by an applicant. 2. At the ADR, TVA provided corrective actions and enhancements taken shortly after its identification of the incident in August 2010. These actions included but were not limited to the following: a. The prompt cessation of all containment electrical penetration work activities, and the initiation of an internal review of the incident. Prior to resuming work associated with electrical penetrations, briefings were conducted with contractor electrical support personnel regarding the falsification event and lessons learned to ensure that the scope of the event was communicated to the group. b. TVA conducted a root cause evaluation of the incident. In addition, an extent of condition review of the incident was conducted, which confirmed that there were no additional examples of falsification. c. TVA’s Office of Inspector General performed an independent investigation of this event, the results of which led to felony prosecution and conviction of two individuals for falsifying government records.
