| Title | Failure to Submit a Required 10 CFR 50.73 Report |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(i)(B) for failure to make a required report to the NRC. Specifically in 2008, a section of essential service water piping was identified to be below the American Society of Engineers (ASME) code case N 513 minimum pipe wall thickness to ensure structural integrity was maintained and therefore, the system was determined to have been inoperable. This condition existed longer than the technical specification allowed system outage time for essential service water. Therefore, this should have been reported in 2008 as operations in a condition prohibited by technical specifications under 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(i)(B) within 60 days of the date of discovery. Entergy entered the issue into their corrective action program as CR-IP2-2013-4346 and completed corrective actions to discuss the 2008 event as part of a licensee event report 247-2013004 submitted on November 12, 2013 for leaks in the same system discovered in September 2013. The inspectors determined that the failure to submit a notification required by 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(i)(B) is a performance deficiency which was reasonably within Entergys ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. Because the issue had the potential to affect the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, the inspectors evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. Using example 6.9.d.9 from the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspectors determined that the violation was a Severity Level IV (more than minor concern that resulted in no or relatively inappreciable potential safety or security consequence) violation. The information in the 10 CFR 50.73 report that was not submitted would not have adversely impacted any regulatory decisions by the NRC. Because this violation involves the traditional enforcement process and does not have an underlying technical violation that would be considered more-than-minor, inspectors did not assign a cross-cutting aspect to this violation in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B. |
