| Title | Untimely 10 CFR 50.72 Notification of a ECC System Functional Failure |
| Description | The NRC identified a SL IV NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.72, Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors, because unplanned inoperability of the Unit 4 emergency containment cooler (ECC) system was not reported to the NRC within eight hours of the time of discovery, as required by 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v), Event or Condition that Could Have Prevented Fulfillment of a Safety Function. This issue was subsequently reported to the NRC in accordance with10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v), and entered into the corrective action program (CAP) as condition report AR 01990555. Because the issue impacted the regulatory process; in that, a safety system functional failure was not reported to the NRC within the required timeframe thereby delaying the NRCs opportunity to review the matter, the inspectors evaluated the issue in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. Using example 6.9.d.9 from the NRC Enforcement Policy, dated February 4, 2015, the inspectors determined that the violation was a SL IV (more than a minor concern that resulted in no or relatively inappreciable potential safety or security consequence) violation, because the licensee failed to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, dated January 24, 2013, traditional enforcement issues are not assigned cross-cutting aspects. |
