| Title | Multiple Examples of the Failure to Notify the NRC within 8 Hours as Required by 10 CFR 50.72 |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (with three examples) for the licensees failure to notify the NRC within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), following the identification that the nuclear power plant was in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degraded plant safety. Each occurrence was reported by the licensee following repeated questioning by the inspectors that occurred in April, September, and November 2005. Following the November occurrence, the inspectors reviewed the licensees previous causal evaluations and corrective actions. The inspectors noted that while the licensee had appropriately evaluated and initiated corrective actions for the technical issues in April and September 2005, the licensee had not appropriately evaluated or developed any corrective actions to address the failure to adequately report these issues to the NRC in a timely manner.
Because this issue affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. The finding has been reviewed by NRC management and is determined to be a Green finding of very low safety significance. Because the licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program (CAP068938), this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The licensee has taken actions to perform a causal evaluation and address the knowledge and procedural aspects of this finding. The cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to appropriately evaluate and take adequate corrective actions for the reportability aspect of these issues. |
