Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (EA-23-139)

On August 27 2024, the NRC issued a notice of violation to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc (licensee) for a Severity Level III problem involving two violations at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (Hatch), Units 1 and 2. The violations involved the licensee’s failure to: 1) maintain records of radiation and contamination surveys that were complete and accurate in all material aspects as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.9(a), and 2) make or cause to be made surveys of radiologically controlled areas that were reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate radiation levels, concentrations or quantities of residual radioactivity, and the potential hazards associated with radiation levels or residual radioactivity as required by 10 CFR 20.1501(a)(2). These violations were the result of contamination and radiation survey records that were falsified by a Hatch senior radiation protection technician. These records are necessary to establish adequate protective measures related to radiological conditions and hazards to workers at the plant.
