The team identified a Notice of Deviation for failure to install temperature monitoring of the safety injection pump room as committed to in a letter to the NRC, dated September 6, 1979. The commitment was submitted to support the licensees application for License Amendment 52. During the inspectors review of other issues related with the safety injection pump room temperature, it was identified on June 6, 2007, that the temperature monitoring instrumentation was never installed, as committed in the 1979 letter. Since the proposed modification was never completed, the inspector concluded that the licensee failed to satisfy a written commitment, as documented in the September 6, 1979, letter. In addition, on November 1, 1999, after modifying operating procedures to restore ventilation to the safety injection pump rooms after an accident, the licensee missed an opportunity to notify the NRC that the commitment was never implemented. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report 2007-0448. -5- Enclosure The failure to install temperature monitoring is a performance deficiency because the licensee failed to satisfy a written commitment. This written commitment is not a legally binding requirement, as defined by the
NRC Enforcement Manual. Since the performance deficiency is not legally binding, it will be treated as an administrative action with non-escalated enforcement action, consistent with Chapter 3 of the
NRC Enforcement Manual. Since the licensee failed to satisfy a written commitment, this issue is being treated as a Notice of Deviation (DEV) consistent with Section VI.E of the
NRC Enforcement Policy
