佐治亚州Power计划密切监视交付给Vogtle Project的CA20墙模块的质量。

核监管委员会希望CB&I采取措施,以改善与洛杉矶湖的质量控制相关的工作场所文化,该工厂为佐治亚州和南卡罗来纳州的核电项目提供墙壁模块。18luck官网

On Sept. 17, the NRC announced a deal with the company that resolves two employment discrimination violations at Shaw Nuclear Services, later purchased by CB&I. One violation involved the firing of an employee who had raised concerns over reports of faulty rebar. While the agreement applies to all the contractor's nuclear facilities, it stems from an NRC-led investigation into practices at Shaw Modular Services (SMS), the former name of the Lake Charles site. Partnered with Westinghouse, CB&I is leading the construction of two nuclear expansion projects: the Plant Vogtle expansion in Waynesboro, Ga., and the V.C. Summer expansion for South Carolina Electric and Gas in Jenkinsville, S.C.

An NRC investigation revealed that, among other findings, 27% of Lake Charles workers feared retaliation for raising concerns over quality. In a letter sent to CB&I in April, the NRC stated it had determined that "a chilled work environment for raising and addressing safety concerns exists at SMS."

In response to the NRC, CB&I President and CEO Philip Asherman stated, "Considerable work needs to be done to correct the culture at Lake Charles."

作为协议的一部分,CB&I必须更新其工作环境政策;为主管和员工提供员工保护培训;确保独立审查针对员工的拟议不利行动;并对与核相关操作进行安全文化评估。

CB&我不会回答问题,而是通过电子邮件陈述:“自从收购Shaw,CB&I已采取行动,并将继续实施新的步骤来促进和促进健康的核安全文化,所有员工都愿意愿意识别问题并表达问题。”

The quality of product coming out of Lake Charles, which produces submodules for the CA20 auxiliary buildings planned for the Georgia and South Carolina projects, also has been a concern at the Vogtle site. Earlier this year, Vogtle's project monitor, William Jacobs, told state officials that Lake Charles "has not demonstrated the ability to fabricate high-quality CA20 submodules ... that meet the design requirements at a rate necessary to support the project schedule." According to Jacobs, an unspecified number of CA20 submodules were delivered to the Vogtle project with the wrong type of welds; they had to be reworked on-site.

9月,佐治亚州的Power告诉PSC,它已经挑出了查尔斯湖的制造活动“实时监督”,并将CA20子模型释放到现场,以“逐案”为基础。该公用事业公司表示,“将继续这种做法,直到查尔斯湖设施表明其符合许可和质量要求制定模块的能力。”
