Southern California Edison officials promise they have made a series of changes during the nuclear transfer process at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
criticized Edison for violations that may require “escalated enforcement action,” with the agency saying it “is concerned about apparent weaknesses in management oversight” regarding the transfers.
Among the findings, the NRC inspectors said the Aug. 3 incident marked the first time the crane operator of the transporter that moves the heavy canisters had actually completed a downloading operation. It was also the first time the “rigger/spotter” — who watches the top of the canister to make sure it is successfully lowered — had attempted to perform the downloading.
Edison officials now say 11 workers or oversight personnel will be required when canisters are transferred, compared to nine in August. A camera has also been mounted near the top of the heavy equipment that lifts the canister and moves it into the appropriate storage cavity. “There’s a camera system set up where you can actually watch the canister download,” Peattie said. An alarm system also has been installed to help make sure a loaded canister is not left unsupported.Edison officials have said they will not resume transfers until the NRC has completed its inspection work and the company is satisfied that new training and improvements have been “successfully demonstrated.
“We don’t know what the NRC is going to say that day,” Pontes said. “I don’t want you to think that we have some expectation they will say, ‘You’re approved to go,’ because we just don’t know if they’re satisfied with everything.”
