Why was an ISA performed at Maine Yankee?
In December 1995, anonymous allegations were sent to the State of Maine and to the NRC regarding inadequate licensee power uprate analyses. The NRC Inspector General initiated an event inquiry into the allegations. The NRC Chairman, in response to the OIG report, and the Governor of the State of Maine, directed the staff to perform an ISA at Maine Yankee to address OIG issues, relative plant performance, and evaluate root causes of identified findings.
