The vendor will evaluate the test data, and if it is determined that there is a design deficiency, other NLI-L Series power supplies will be tested to ascertain their susceptibility to this problem. Within the last month, many new workers were hired and decommissioning activities were initiated. The licensee stated that some of these activities were not conducted consistent with Bechtel's expectations, including a few recordable OSHA incidents of minor safety significance. Some limited work activities are expected to resume today. However, the majority of the work will not resume until the worker feedback is evaluated, a hazard assessment is conducted by Bechtel to develop a corrective action plan, a detailed pre-job brief is conducted with every crew, and a safe work observation program is initiated.
Most work is anticipated to resume next week.
The licensee provided a courtesy notification to the NRC and also plans to highlight in their daily newsletter the efforts by Bechtel to improve safety awareness with its new workers. NRC informed the State of Connecticut.
