| Title | Failure to Obtain Prior NRC Approval for a Facility Change |
| Description | The team identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) for the licensees failure to maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan. Specifically, since May 14, 2009, the licensee failed to maintain a proper value for low river level associated with the declaration of an emergency at the ALERT classification level. The licensee did not maintain a standard emergency action level scheme in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), which states in part, that a standard emergency classification and action level scheme is in use by the nuclear facility licensee. The emergency action level scheme was not maintained because emergency action levels HU1 and HA1, Natural or destructive phenomena affecting the Protected Area, contained an inaccurate river level of 973 feet 9 inches. The river level was inaccurate because the basis document, Procedure EPIP-OSC-1, Emergency Classification, Revision 46, stated the emergency action level was based on the minimum elevation of the raw water pump suction. Based on available plant data, the minimum elevation of the raw water pump suction was above the Alert declaration point of 973 feet 9 inches. This issue has been entered into the corrective action program as Condition Reports CR2013-04198 and CR 2013-04169. This performance deficiency is more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it is associated with emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, inaccurate emergency action levels degrade the licensees ability to implement adequate measures to protect public health and safety. The finding was evaluated using the Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a lost or degraded risk significant planning function. The planning standard function was not degraded because the Notification of Unusual Event and Alert emergency classifications would have been declared although potentially in a delayed manner. This finding was not assigned a cross-cutting aspect because the performance deficiency is not reflective of current performance |
