Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on March 4.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $15,000 civil penalty against Acuren
Inspection Inc. for apparent violations associated with a shipment of radiography equipment. The
company is based in Duluth, Minn.
The apparent violations were identified following a November inspection of one of the
licensee’s field offices in Billings, Mont. The NRC reviewed the circumstances surrounding the event,
the procedures in place at the time, and associated documentation and interviewed workers involved
with the shipment. The NRC discussed the need for long-term effective corrective actions during the
exit meeting.
Acuren officials responded to the violations in writing and took appropriate corrective actions.
The company has 30 days to dispute the fine or request involvement from a neutral third-party mediator
to resolve the issue.
The Enforcement Action is posted on the NRC website.
