Finding

Title

An LER for an Inoperable Main Steam Safety Valve Was Not Submitted When Required

Description

The inspectors identified a Severity Level lV, NCV of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), because Entergy personnel did not provide a written licensee event report (LER) to the NRC within 60 days of identifying during testing that MS-46D, main steam line safety valve, was inoperable and in a condition prohibited by the plants Technical Specification (TS). Entergy personnel adjusted the valves lift setpoint to within the TS operability limit, repaired and tested the valve before plant startup. Entergy staff entered this issue into the CAP as CR-IP2-2012-3320 and CR-IP2-2012-4153. The inspectors determined that the failure to provide a written LER within 60 days was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergys ability to foresee and correct, and should have been prevented. This violation involved not making a required report to the NRC and is considered to impact the regulatory process. Such violations are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the Significance Determination Process. Using the NRC Enforcement Policy Section 6.9, Inaccurate and Incomplete Information or Failure to Make a Required Report, example (d)(9), the NRC determined this violation is more than minor and is categorized as a Severity Level IV violation. Because this violation involves the traditional enforcement process with no underlying technical violation that would be considered more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, a cross-cutting aspect is not assigned to this violation.
