No findings during nuke plant special investigation

The government watchdog NRC looked into the circumstances for “power cable failures/degradation” of the startup transformers for Units 1 and 3 at the Oconee Nuclear Station.  The special inspection last month resulted in no findings.   Those “failures/degradation” were identified during operator rounds December 7 on Unit 3 and during a Duke Energy review December 15 of Unit 1. According to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission letter, an inspection team documented the results and discussed them with Scott Batson, site vice president at Oconee Nuclear, and members of his staff.
