Keith Davis (IA-07-014)

On November 26, 2007, a Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) was issued to Mr. Davis, former Senior Reactor Operator at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), as a result of a settlement agreement entered into as a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution requested by the individual. This action relates to an incident that occurred on June 27, 2007, when Mr. Davis reported to work and failed to report an arrest which occurred on June 19, 2007, for driving under the influence of alcohol, coincident with a single motor vehicle accident. Mr. Davis’ SRO license and site access was immediately terminated and he was assigned other duties. Subsequently, his employment at SSES was terminated. During the mediation session, Mr. Davis agreed, among other things to: (1) write an operating experience report addressing lessons learned from this violation; (2) provide a written report to the NRC for review, subsequently submitting the report to a minimum of three national organizations for possible publication, including INPO and NEI; (3) provide a written response to the NRC explaining the reasons why the NRC can have confidence in his following procedures in the future; (4) provide a training plan for licensed and non-licensed operator training at SSES regarding procedure compliance; and (5) agree to the issuance of a Severity Level III Notice of Violation. The agreement did not prohibit Mr. Davis from all 10 CFR Part 50 activities but required Mr. Davis to inform the NRC before resuming work involving NRC licensed activities. In light of Mr. Davis’ agreement, the NRC will not pursue any further enforcement action related to the incident.
