| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The following violation met the criteria established by the NRCs Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR Part 50.48) for a licensee in NFPA 805 transition. Therefore, the NRC exercised its enforcement discretion to not cite this violation. Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Contrary to the above, as described in CAP 1176349 dated April 2, 2009, the licensee identified that 10 CFR 50,Appendix R analyses for a fire in the main control room or cable spreading room requiring safe shutdown from the alternate shutdown (ASD) panel, did not evaluate spurious opening and venting of primary containment via purge and vent valves. Spurious openings of these valves due to a control or cable spreading room fire could have decreased containment overpressure and the available NPSH for the low pressure injection systems (residual heat removal(RHR) and core spray (CS)), affecting safe shutdown at the ASD panel. Procedures for shutdown outside of the control room did not contain guidance to ensure adequate NPSH for the 12 CS and Division II RHR pumps. The licensee is in transition to NFPA 805 and; therefore, the licensee-identified violation was evaluated in accordance with the criteria established by Section A of the NRCs Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR Part 50.48) for a licensee in NFPA 805 transition. The inspectors determined that for this violation: (1) the licensee would have identified the violation during the scheduled transition to10 CFR Part 50, Section 48(c); (2) the licensee had established adequate compensatory measures within a reasonable time frame following identification and would correct the violation as a result of completing the NFPA 805 transition;(3) the violation was not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts; and (4) the violation was not willful. The finding also met additional criteria established in Section 06.06.a.2 of IMC 0305. In addition, in order for the NRC to consider granting enforcement discretion, the violation must not be associated with a finding of high safety significance (i.e., Red).The inspectors determined that the finding was not associated with a Red finding. As a result, the inspectors concluded that the violation met all four criteria established by Section A and the NRC was exercising enforcement discretion to not cite this violation in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy |
