The violations were grouped into a number of broad categories, namely, numerous longstanding deficiencies in engineering programs and practices, including plant design, design control, and engineering support, some of which led to significant safety equipment being inoperable or degraded for extended periods; numerous operational deficiencies, including inadequate procedures, failure to follow procedures, and inadequate corrective actions, which led to an event in which nitrogen gas was allowed to intrude into the reactor coolant system; and inadequate implementation of the emergency preparedness program during the August 1996 exercise. |

EA-10-009 Hatch 1 & 2 |
NOV (White) |
05/12/2010 | On May 12, 2010, a Notice of Violation (NOV) was issued to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. for a violation associated with a White Significance Determination Finding as a result of inspections at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The White finding involved the licensee’s failure to meet Technical Specifications. From 1988 to 2009 the licensee failed to establish and perform preventative maintenance activities on components having a specific lifetime. This resulted in a capacitor failure on a circuit card, during a surveillance test of an emergency diesel generator (EDG) and caused the EDG to be declared inoperable. |
EA-09-054 Hatch 1 & 2 |
NOV (White) |
06/09/2009 | On June 9, 2009, a Notice of Violation was issued to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. for a violation associated with a White Significance Determination Finding involving a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, “Corrective Actions.” Specifically, since 1988 the licensee had observed cracks in the glands of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) couplings, but did not recognize the cracking was an indication of coupling deterioration. This fact was not documented during routine maintenance inspections, therefore there was no condition report written to identify and correct the condition. Consequently, the 1B EDG coupling developed higher than normal vibration on July 12, 2008, during a routine surveillance test which prompted the licensee to declare the 1B EDG inoperable. |
EA-05-134 Hatch 1 & 2 |
NOV (White) |
09/19/2005 | On September 19, 2005, a Notice of Violation was issued for a violation associated with a White SDP finding involving the removal of the Technical Support Center from service for more than 7 days which represented a loss of a planning standard function. The violation cited the licensee’s failure to provide and maintain facilities and equipment to support emergency response, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(q) and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8). |
