| Title | Failure to Make Required Eight Hour Event Report per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) |
| Description | A Severity Level (SL) IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to report within eight hours a condition that, at the time of discovery, could have prevented the fulfillment of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) safety function. Specifically, on December 2, 2011, a sizable void was identified in the B LPCI discharge injection line resulting in the LPCI mode of RHR being declared inoperable. The licensee documented the issue into their corrective action program (CAP), reported the condition to the NRC on December 8, 2011, and, was in the process of reviewing the cause of the issue to determine additional corrective actions.The inspectors determined that the issue of concern represented a performancedeficiency because it was the result of the licensees failure to meet a regulatory requirement, and the cause was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. Because the performance deficiency is considered to potentially impede or impact the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight function, the performance deficiency was dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process. Per NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 6.9.d.9, failing to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 is categorized as an example of a Severity Level IV violation. Additionally, because the violation was entered into the licensees CAP, compliance was restored in a reasonable period of time, and was not repetitive or willful; this violation is being treated as a non-cited SL IV violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. Because the performance deficiency was not considered a finding using IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and did not impact the Reactor Oversight Process Cornerstones of Safety, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned. |
