| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The licensee identified on May 18, 2012, that Diablo Canyon Power Plant implemented changes to the site emergency plan on September 26, 2001, that reduced the plans effectiveness and had the potential to impact the licensees ability to implement protective measures. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(q)(4) states in part, The changes to a licensees emergency plan that reduce the effectiveness of the plan may not be implemented without prior approval of the NRC. Contrary to the above, between September 26, 2001, and June 20, 2012, the licensee implemented changes to the site emergency plan that reduced the effectiveness of the plan without prior approval of the NRC. Specifically, the licensee excluded as many as 900 site workers from assembly and accountability, making it more difficult to implement protective measures, either for those individuals or by utilizing those individuals. This finding is more than minor because it affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. The violation was evaluated using the NRCs Enforcement Policy, Section 6.6.d, and determined to be a Severity Level IV violation because it degraded the licensees ability to meet or implement a regulatory requirement not related to assessment or notification. The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program as Notification 50483005. This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. |
