| Title | Failure to Provide Complete and Accurate Information |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.9 for the licensees failure to provide information to the NRC that was complete and accurate in all material respects. Specifically, in a letter on dated October 5, 2009, the licensee inaccurately stated new couplings for a service water pump were independently tested prior to installation. The licensee provided this information as part of a request for a Notice of Enforcement Discretion (NOED). The licensee requested the NOED due to a failure of a service water pump coupling that had not been properly heat treated. The licensee subsequently informed the NRC that the tests had not been performed and entered the condition into the corrective action program. The inspectors concluded that the licensee had reasonable opportunity to foresee and correct the inaccurate/incomplete information prior to the information being submitted to the NRC. As a result, this issue was considered a performance deficiency. Using the information provided in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, the inspectors determined that traditional enforcement was warranted, because violations of 10 CFR 50.9 are considered to potentially impede or impact the regulatory process. Specifically, in order to determine the acceptability of granting discretion, the NRC needed assurance that the replacement couplings met hardness requirements. Using the information provided in the Enforcement Policy, Section 6.9, this issue was determined to be a Severity Level (SL) IV NCV, as it did not meet the definition for a Severity Level I, II, or III Violation. Specifically the violation was not greater than SL IV, because the inspectors concluded that the lack of hardness testing did not impact the NRCs conclusion since the licensee did not enter the period of enforcement discretion. The inspectors also evaluated the underlying performance deficiency under the ROP. Since the licensee did not enter the period of enforcement discretion and all the questions for more than minor in Appendix B were answered no, the inspectors concluded that there was no ROP finding and therefore no cross-cutting aspect.
