| Title | Failure to Submit Complete and Accurate Information for a Requested License Amendment |
| Description | Severity Level IV. An NRC -identified severity level IV (SL IV) NCV of 10 CFR 50.9(a), Completeness and Accuracy of Information, was identified for the licensees failure to provide complete and accurate information in a license amendment request (LAR), dated November 19, 2015, requesting extension of the containment leak rate test frequencies required by various containment technical specifications (TS s). In this LAR, the licensee incorrectly stated that they had revised their ASME BPVC,Section XI, Subsection IWE program to include visual examinations of the test connections in the leak -chase channel penetration pressurization system ( PPS) , when in fact, the program had not been revised and the examinations had not been performed . This information was material to the NRC because it was used, in part, as the basis for the approval and issuance of License Amendment 247, dated October 11, 2016, extending the TS containment leak rate test frequencies. The licensees corrective actions included conducting the visual examinations of the test connections in the leak -chase channel PPS during the ongoing refueling outage in March 2017 and initiating actions to add the visual examination requirements to their Subsection IWE program. This issue was entered into the licensees CAP as NCR 02110516. The failure to provide complete and accurate information in accordance with 10 CFR 50.9(a) for the LAR associated with License Amendment 247 is a violation of NRC requirements . This violation was screened against the ROP guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and no associated ROP finding was identified. The inspectors evaluated this issue using the Traditional Enforcement process because it had the potential to impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. Specifically, the violation impacted the regulatory process, in that the inaccurate information was material to the NRCs review and acceptance of licensee actions to address the industry -wide operating experience discussed in NRC IN 2014- 07. Based on licensee inaccurate information that they had addressed IN 2014 -07 by revising their containment ISI program to perform visual inspections of accessible tubing in the containment leak -chase channel PPS system, the NRC staff concluded that the licensee was properly implementing the ASME BPVC,Section XI, Subsection IWE program. In accordance with the guidance in Sections 2.2 and 6.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspectors determined this is an SL IV violation, because had the information been complete and accurate at the time provided, it likely would have resulted in the need for further clarification of the licensees actions to address NRC IN 2014- 07 , but would not have caused the NRC to change its decision to issue the license amendment or resulted in substantial further inquiry . Also, on March 23, 2017, the licensee completed the visual examinations of the subject tubing in the leak -chase channel system and did not identify any significant degradation. In accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, traditional enforcement issues are not assigned a cross -cutting aspect. |
