NRC Preliminarily Cites NextEra for Breach of Federal Waste Regulations

摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission this week preliminarily cited NextEra Energy with violating federal regulations in mischaracterizing a shipment of radioactive waste from its Point Beach Nuclear Plant in Wisconsin. The incident would constitute a “White” breach, representing low-to-moderate increased safety significance, according to an Aug. 3 letter to Michael Strope, site director for NextEra Energy Point Beach LLC, from Mohammed Shuaibi, director of the Division of Reactor Safety in NRC Region III.
