01/22/2008 |
On January 22, 2008, a Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) was
issued to Mr. William Johns, a former security manager for Florida Power & Light,
as a result of a settlement agreement entered into following the conclusion
of Alternative Dispute Resolution, requested by the individual. This Confirmatory
Order relates to Mr. Johns’ deliberate failure to make a one-hour
report to the Commission of an event involving the interruption of normal
operation of a licensed nuclear power reactor through the unauthorized
use of or tampering with its machinery, components, or controls, including
the security system. In this case, the tampering event involved the breaking
of a firing pin for a contingency response weapon, a component of the security
system. The NRC reached a preliminary conclusion that Mr. Johns’ failure
to make a report was in violation of 10 CFR 50.5, in that Mr. Johns’ actions
caused Florida Power & Light to not report this event to the NRC as
required by 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix G.I.(a)(3). During the mediation session,
Mr. Johns agreed, among other things, to: 1) not seek employment requiring
his participation in NRC-regulated activities before July 15, 2008, 2)
that prior to seeking future employment in NRC-regulated activities, Mr.
Johns will submit to the NRC a letter explaining the steps he has taken
to assure he understands the NRC’s security reporting requirements
in effect at the time, 3) that prior to seeking future employment in NRC-regulated
activities, Mr. Johns will submit to the NRC a letter explaining the steps
he has taken to assure he understands the NRC’s security reporting
requirements in effect at the time. In consideration of the above, the
NRC agreed to forego issuance of a Notice of Violation or other enforcement
action to Mr. Johns in this matter. |

On May 23, 2008, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level
III violation involving a deliberate failure to provide the NRC with complete
and accurate information, as required by 10 CFR 30.10(a)(2). Specifically,
in a report submitted to the NRC on May 18, 2006, the individual, as the
radiation safety officer (RSO) for Global X-Ray and Testing Corporation,
described an event that took place during radiographic operations on board
a lay-barge on April 20, 2006, but failed to include complete information
regarding the radiation exposure to the radiographer involved in the event.
He also failed to disclose the fact that the radiographer reported that
his pocket dosimeter had gone off-scale and he did not reconcile or explain
the discrepancy between the reported dose and the off-scale dosimeter reading. |
