11/22/2005 |
On May 2, 2005, a Notice of Violation and Proposed
Imposition of a Civil Penalty (NOV/CP) in the amount of $60,000 was
issued to Exelon
for a willful Severity Level III violation involving four contract
employees who violated radiation protection procedures associated
with entry into high radiation areas. On May 12, 2005, Exelon informed
the NRC of its intent to appeal this enforcement action using the
alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process as a means to obtain
resolution. In order to resolve disagreements, Exelon, The Venture,
and NRC representatives met with an independent mediator on July
11, 2005. As part of the ADR settlement agreement, Exelon agreed
that a willful violation occurred as documented in the NRC’s
May 2, 2005, NOV/CP and committed to implement numerous comprehensive
short-term and long-term corrective actions. Based on the expectation
that Exelon will satisfactorily implement these corrective actions,
the NRC agreed to reclassify the violation at Severity Level IV,
to reduce the civil penalty to $10,000, and to not consider the violation
as part of the civil penalty assessment process (NRC Enforcement
Policy, Section VI.C.2) should the NRC consider future enforcement
actions against LaSalle. Exelon acknowledged concurrence with the
terms and conditions of the settlement agreement in an August 25,
2005, letter, and Exelon signed a “Consent and Hearing Waiver
Form” on November 18, 2005. Therefore, a Confirmatory Order
confirming commitments reached as part of an ADR mediation settlement
agreement was issued to Exelon on November 22, 2005. |
