Report Description:
The Office of the Inspector General was requested by the Vice President, BFN Unit 1 Restart, to review tool management associated with the restart project. TVA is providing all necessary tools for the BFN Unit 1 Restart. Work is primarily being completed by engineering and modification contractors, 1,500 of which are craft laborers who have tool needs/requirements.
We assessed the processes and key control activities used to track and account for tools purchased for the BFN Unit 1 Restart and on-going BFN operations. We found a significant lack of tool accountability/tracking resulting from (1) noncompliance with TVA Nuclear Business Practice 226, Tool and Equipment Accountability, prescribed processes and key control activities and (2) other process/control weaknesses. Management agreed with our findings and plans to initiate corrective actions.
