| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that a nuclear power reactor licensee shall follow and maintain in effect emergency plans that meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b). Contrary to this requirement, FENOC failed to maintain their described method of notifying State and local organizations of emergency events. Specifically, for the time period between February 8 and February 16, 2010, the Beaver Valley control room staff did not possess the newly-issued code word for verifying notification communications between the site and local officials. The control room staffs inability to use the proper code word would have unnecessarily delayed the required notification of those local officials, as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5). Once discovered by FENOC on February 16, 2010, the condition was immediately corrected. FENOC further performed a Cause Analysis in conjunction with CR 10-71680 and initiated programmatic corrective actions to assure . the control room is properly informed when a new code word is assigned. The finding was more than minor because it is associated with the emergency preparedness cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring proper offsite notification of an emergency event at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green), based on IMC 0609, Appendix B, because, while not having the proper code word could have delayed theoffsite notification, alternate means of establishing offsite notifications were available and would have accomplished the notification objective. |
