| Title | Incorrect Leakage Requirement Submitted for a Proposed Temporary Pipe Clamp |
| Description | A Severity Level (SL) IV NCV of 10 CFR Part 50.9(a), Completeness and Accuracy of Information, was identified by the inspectors for the failure of the licensee to provide complete and accurate information in all material respects to the Commission in licensee Request RR-2-3, dated April 29, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12122A138). As part of a license amendment for a proposed temporary deviation from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and ASME Code,Section XI, the licensee incorrectly stated the allowable leakage from the temporary clamp in transition from Mode 5 to 4 was governed by TS 5.5.2, Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment, and proposed an allowable leakage value of 5.5 gallons per hour (gph). After licensee Request No. RR-2-3 was verbally approved by the NRC on April 30, 2012, the inspectors and NRC staff determined that the governing leakage requirement was no leakage in Mode 4 for the clamp as required by TS 3.4.13, Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual because the NRC identified the performance deficiency, the NRC relied on the information provided in a licensing decision, and the misinformation was identified after the NRC relied on the information in its licensing decision. Because violations of 10 CFR 50.9 are considered to be violations that potentially impact the regulatory process, they are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the ROP SDP. Because the performance deficiency, specifically a failure to submit complete and accurate information, was not an ROP finding per IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to this violation. The severity of the violation was mitigated because of the facts surrounding the licensees implementation of Request No. RR-2-3. |
