Nuclear Fuel Services is not meeting safety expectations in nine of 13 categories and the company is only partially or minimally meeting the expectations in the other four areas, an independent review commissioned in the wake of a 2006 liquid uranium spill at an NFS facility has concluded. The management of NFS released the results of the report, which was conducted by a Safety Culture Board of Advisors, during a meeting with NRC April 22.
