Title | Failure to Report an Automatic RPS Actuation While Shutdown Per 10 CFR 50.73 |
Description | A Severity Level IV, non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) were identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to recognize that a valid automatic reactor protection system (RPS) actuation while shutdown was a reportable condition. Consequently, the licensee failed to make an eight hour report as required by 10CFR50.72 and submit a licensee event report (LER) within 60 days as required by 10CFR50.73. This issue was documented in the licensees corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Reports 172053, 178146, and 206168, and subsequently reported as LER 050- 260/2009-006. This finding was considered as traditional enforcement because it had the potential for impacting the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. However, because this violation was of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the licensees corrective action program, the NRC has characterized this violation as a Severity Level IV NCV in accordance with Section IV.A.3 and Supplement I of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of evaluating and properly prioritizing reportable conditions in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution because the licensee did not adequately prioritize their efforts to meet the LER timeliness requirement of 10CFR50.73 P.1(c) |
