| Title | Inaccurate Information Concerning Flooding Analysis |
| Description | The licensee identified an apparent violation (AV) of 10 CFR 50.9(a), Completeness and Accuracy of Information, for the failure to provide the NRC with complete and accurate information regarding the safety significance of degraded and missing penetration seals that were identified on electrical conduits and piping that passed through exterior walls of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor auxiliary buildings (RABs). Specifically, the licensee failed to identify missing flood barriers on the Unit 1 RAB and the licensee underestimated the volume of water that would have entered the Unit 1 and Unit 2 RABs during a design basis flood event and challenge the operability of safety-related equipment. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as action requests (AR) 1932213 and AR 1943185 and completed corrective actions to repair and replace the degraded and missing flood penetration seals. The apparent violation had the potential to impede or impact the regulatory process, and was therefore subject to traditional enforcement as described in the NRC Enforcement Policy, dated July 9, 2013. The inspectors used the examples provided in Section 6.9, Inaccurate and Incomplete Information or Failure to Make a Required Report, of the NRC Enforcement Policy, and concluded that this AV should be considered for escalated enforcement action. In particular, had this information been complete and accurate, it may have caused the NRC to reconsider a regulatory position or undertake a substantial further inquiry. Because the apparent violation involved the traditional enforcement process with no underlying technical violation that would be considered more than minor in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to this violation. |
