NRC issues white safety finding to V.C. Summer
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has upheld and finalized a “white” safety finding at V.C. Summer power plant in Jenkinsville, S.C., over the plant’s failure to properly preplan and perform maintenance on its turbine-driven emergency feedwater pump (TDEFW) governor valve linkage. The 966-MWe three-loop Westinghouse pressurized water reactor at Summer started commercial operation in 1982.
