The inspectors identified an
NCV of
10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) because the licensee failed to submit a required Licensee Event Report within 60 days after discovery of an event requiring a report. The event involved the licensee\'s failure to meet Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program requirements in accordance with TS
Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.1, a condition prohibited by the plant\'s TSs. No immediate corrective actions were taken to address this finding; however, the issue was entered into the licensee\'s corrective action program. This finding was of more than minor significance because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in the TSs and the regulations to perform its regulatory function. Because the issue affected the NRC\'s ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated with the traditional enforcement process. Consistent with the guidance in Section 7.10 and Supplement I, paragraph D.4 of the
NRC Enforcement Policy, this issue was determined to be a
Severity Level IV violation. This finding affected the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee incorrectly evaluated the condition and concluded that the failure to perform an as-found
LLRT for containment isolation valve 2-SI-189 was not a condition prohibited by the plant\'s TSs.
