| Title | Faulty General Electric Switches |
| Description | The team identified a severity level IV noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 21, Notification of Failure to Comply or Existence of a Defect and its Evaluation, for the failure of the licensee to evaluate the deviations in 13 of 23 safety-related switches within 60 days. Specifically, prior to August 10, 2010, the licensee failed to submit a report as required by paragraph 21.21 (a)(1) of 10 CFR Part 21 when 13 of 23 General Electric control switches purchased to support a station modification to the safety-related 4160 kV switchgear were discovered to have a defect that was later determined to create a substantial safety hazard. The defective switches were discovered and documented on Condition Report CNS-2009-09985 dated November 25, 2009 and the evaluation was not completed until August 10, 2010. After the evaluation determined the defect did create a substantial safety hazard, the NRC was notified via an event notification on August 10, 2010. Using the Traditional Enforcement Policy and Manual, this was determined to be a Severity Level IV noncited violation. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CNS-2010- 5629. The finding had a crosscutting aspect of problem identification and resolution, alternative process, because the licensee failed to ensure appropriate and timely resolution of identified problems. |
