| Title | Failure to Submit an LER for a Condition Prohibited by TS Associated with HPCI |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation (NCV) because Entergy did not provide a written report to the NRC within 60 days after discovery of the event as required by 10 CFR 50.73, Licensee Event Report (LER) System, for a condition which was prohibited by Technical Specification (TS) 3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling Systems - Operating. In January, 2009, the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system did not pass postmaintenance testing, as a result of the failure of the HPCI system turbine stop valve 23HOV- 1, to stroke open within the required time. Entergy personnel documented the condition in CR-JAF-2009-0350. The inservice test (IST) opening time for 23HOV-1 had previously exceeded the correct acceptance criteria which should have resulted in declaring the HPCI system inoperable. The inspectors determined that this condition met the criteria for reporting under 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(i)(8) in that the condition was not allowed by the plants TSs. Entergys corrective actions included initiating CR-JAF-2009-03964, submitting LER 05000333/2009008-00 on January 11, 2010, and providing additional guidance for their staff on licensee event reporting requirements. This violation involved a failure to make a required report to the NRC and is considered to impact the regulatory process. Such violations are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the Significance Determination Process. Using the Enforcement Policy Supplement I, Reactor Operations, example 04 which states, A failure to make a required LER; the NRC determined that this violation could potentially impact the regulatory process and is more than minor and categorized as a Severity Level IV violation. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution within the corrective action program component because Entergy personnel did not properly evaluate the condition reporting criteria.
