Areva agrees to actions for falsification incident

摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on December 3 said that it had issued a confirmatory order to Areva NP, which operates a nuclear fuel processing facility in Rich-land, Wash. Under the terms of the order, the company has agreed to a series of corrective actions related to an employee's falsifying transportation forms for an overseas shipment of low-enriched uranium (LEU). The order is the result of an agreement reached under the NRC's alternative dispute resolution process, which was requested by Areva to address the violation associated with the improper shipment forms. The ADR process involves the use of a neutral mediator with no decision-making authority to assist the parties in reaching an agreement.
