NRC propose 50000 dollar fine for Wolf Creek valve error
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposed a 50000 dollar penalty after a valve was moved out of position during maintenance at Wolf Creek nuclear plant, reducing flow in a key safety system. The condition went undetected for about a month, was reported on Aug 27, and corrected the next day. No direct danger occurred, but the device could be needed in a loss of coolant accident.
