NRC Proposes $9,000 Civil Penalty Against Geotechnical and Materials Engineers

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $9,000 fine to Geotechnical and Materials 

Engineers, Inc. for a violation of NRC requirements associated with the control of NRC-regulated material.

The violation involved the failure to control and maintain constant surveillance of a portable 

moisture density gauge containing radioactive material or to use two independent physical controls to secure 

the gauge. The gauge is used for measuring the moisture content and density of soil and aggregate. 

The NRC was notified by the company that a gauge was struck and damaged by a bulldozer at a 

temporary job site in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on March 22, 2023. The technician then walked away from the 

gauge, failing to secure it from being removed from the site by an unauthorized user. 

Following an inspection at the company’s office in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the NRC documented the 

proposed violations in a November inspection report.

Geotechnical and Materials Engineers responded to the violations, documenting actions it has taken 

to prevent recurrence of the violation. 

The company has 30 days to pay the proposed penalty, contest the penalty in writing, or request 

alternative dispute resolution with the NRC to resolve this issue.

NRC TO AMEND REGULATIONS REVISING PACIFIC SIERRA

VSC-24 CASK SYSTEM ON APPROVED LIST

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking comments on amendments to its

regulations that allow reactor licensees using the Pacific Sierra Nuclear Associates VSC-24

spent fuel storage cask -- under a general license and without site-specific approval -- to store

burnable poison rod assemblies inside the cask.

A burnable poison rod assembly is a bundle of rods inserted into the reactor core during

refueling. The assembly controls the radioactivity inside the reactor, and does not contain any

nuclear material.

Because the Commission considers this fairly routine, and to streamline the rulemaking

process, this action is proposed as a direct final rule. The direct final rule will become effective

75 days after publication in the Federal Register. However, if the agency receives significant

adverse comments within 30 days, it will publish a notice withdrawing the accelerated rule and

address the comments in a subsequent final rule.

Under this action, the agency’s List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks would be

revised to incorporate an amendment to the VSC-24 certificate of compliance that would allow

these rods to be removed during refueling and stored along with spent fuel in the VSC-24 spent

fuel storage casks.

Any nuclear power reactor licensee can use NRC-approved cask designs to store spent

fuel if they notify the NRC in advance, store the fuel under certain conditions, and meet

requirements of the general license. The VSC-24 cask design was approved by the NRC in

1993. The NRC staff has determined that the amended VSC-24 cask system, when used in

accordance with regulations, will assure adequate protection of public health and safety.

Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed amendment

to Part 72 of the Commission’s regulations. Comments should be submitted within 30 days

after publication of the Federal Register notice on this subject, expected shortly. They should

be addressed to: Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-

0001, Attn: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff. Comments may also be submitted via the

NRC’s internet rulemaking site at http://ruleforum.llnl.gov.

No. 99-139 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Wednesday, July 7, 1999)

NRC PROPOSES CHANGES TO REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing to amend its regulations on reporting

requirements for nuclear power plants.

The NRC staff believes that the proposed changes would not eliminate reporting for

significant events that the NRC needs to review in its efforts to identify and resolve safety

issues. However, the changes would reduce or eliminate the unnecessary reporting burden

associated with events of little or no safety significance.

The amendments would also revise the requirements based on importance to risk and

extend the reporting times consistent with the need for prompt NRC action. For those events

requiring immediate NRC action, such as emergency declarations, reports would continue to be

required within one hour.

For example, the proposed amendments would require a report to NRC within eight

hours if an event or condition occurred that could keep a structure or system from fulfilling its

safety function if the plant is in a mode where the structure or system is required to be

operable. Currently such events or conditions must be reported within four hours. Written

licensee event reports would be due within 60 days after discovery of a reportable event or

condition, instead of within 30 days as is currently required.

The NRC previously discussed the proposed changes to reporting requirements in an

advanced notice of proposed rulemaking published last summer in the Federal Register and at

three public meetings held last year. The proposed changes to NRC reporting requirements

incorporate suggestions and concerns expressed by members of the public during those

forums and in 21 written comments submitted by members of industry and the public.

Details of the proposed rule changes were published in the Federal Register July 6. A

draft report, NUREG-1022, Revision 2, “Event Reporting Guidelines 10CFR 50.72 and 50.73"

is also being made available for public comment concurrently with the proposed rule. The

proposed rule and the NUREG document will be posted to the NRC’s homepage at:

http://ruleforum.llnl.gov. Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on both the

proposed rule and the NUREG document by September 20. Comments should be sent to the

Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, Attention:

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff. Comments may also be submitted electronically via the

NRC’s interactive rulemaking web site at http://ruleforum.llnl.gov.

Because the proposed rule contains information collection requirements that are subject

to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NRC has submitted a review
package to OMB. NRC also will hold a public workshop to discuss the proposed rule changes

at a date to be announced.

Dear Andy and Andrew,

As agreed, with receipt of the final biological assessment, N MFS has deemed the ESA Section 7 consultation package complete. As of today, we are initiating formal consultation with the EPA.
N MFS and the EPA have 90 days for formal consultation and NMFS has an additional 45 days to prepare our biological opinion (for a total of 135 days).

N MFS anticipates that our biological opinion will be complete by March 31, 2013.

Sincerely,
