A failure to periodically calibrate radiation monitoring equipment at Entergy Louisiana’s Waterford 3 nuclear power plant in Killona has earned the company a verbal slap on the wrist from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
NRC officials listed the issue, which has been ongoing since 2006, as a “Green Non-Cited Violation” in a Feb. 8 letter to the utility. The federal agency completed an inspection of the reactor complex late last year; despite the violation, it did not recommend any fines for Entergy.
