| Title | Failure to Provide 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation Associated with Offsite Power Alignment |
| Description | Inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments, in that Entergy implemented a change to its facility that required a TS change without seeking a license amendment as required by 10 CFR 50.90. Specifically, the inspectors identified that Entergy altered the configuration of the 23 kV line to the shutdown transformer contrary to the UFSAR and that configuration required a TS change through a license amendment. Entergy is performing a causal analysis, updating required procedures, and issued a standing order to ensure the site remains in TS compliance with only the 23 kV line 108 able to supply power to maintain the shutdown transformer operable. The performance deficiency was dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process because it could potentially impede or impact the regulatory process. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Manual, Revision 9, Part II, Enforcement of 10 CFR 50.59 and Related FSAR, Sections 2.1.3.E.1 and 2.1.3.E.6, this violation was determined to be more than minor because Entergy failed to request a license amendment prior to implementation. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy Section 6.1, the inspectors used the SDP to inform the severity of the 10 CFR 50.59 violation, based upon the impact on the offsite alternating current (AC) power sources. As referenced in Section 1R15, the technical aspects of this issue screen to Green. Accordingly, per Section 6.1.d of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the severity of the violation of 10 CFR 50.59 was determined to be Severity Level IV, as it resulted in conditions evaluated as having very low safety significance (Green) by the SDP. There is no cross-cutting aspect associated with this violation because cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to tradition enforcement violations. |
