ATHENS, AL (AP) -
Federal regulators have issued a violation to
the Tennessee Valley Authority after an inspection at its Browns Ferry
nuclear power plant in northern Alabama.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in a statement that its staff will increase oversight at the facility.
The agency said the "white"
finding for all 3 of the facility's units comes after NRC inspectors
found that plant operators and employees were unable to adequately
perform newly implemented procedures for a safe plant shutdown.
The NRC said it determined that workers were not adequately trained on the new procedures.
The NRC evaluates nuclear
power plants with a color-coded system which classifies findings as
green, white, yellow or red in increasing order of safety significance.
The agency says a white finding has "low to moderate safety
significance."
