| Title | Failure to Satisfy 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 Reporting Requirements for Loss of RPS Trip Safety Functions |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of the 10 CFR 50.72(a)(1), Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors, and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), Licensee Event Report [LER] System. Specifically, the licensee failed to make a required 8-hour non-emergency notification call to the NRC Operations Center after discovery of a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function to shut down the reactor on February 21, 2015, and on January 6, 2016 (two separate occurrences). In addition, the licensee failed to submit a required LER within 60 days after discovery of the event on February 21, 2015. Subsequently, the licensee made an 8-hour notification call on February 25, 2016 to the NRC Operations Center via the Emergency Notification System to report the two events (Event Notices 51755 and 51756). On March 2, 2016, the licensee updated Event Notices 51755 and 51756 to include an additional reporting criterion. The licensee submitted LER 05000341/2015-008-00, Turbine Stop Valve Closure and Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure Reactor Protection System Functions Considered Inoperable Due to Open Turbine Bypass Valve, on March 29, 2016, to report the February 2015 event. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program to evaluate the cause for its failure to satisfy the reporting requirements and to identify appropriate corrective actions. Consistent with the guidance in IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, the inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was of minor significance based on No answers to the more-than-minor screening questions. However, in accordance with Section 6.9.d.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation was categorized as Severity Level IV because the licensee failed to report as required by 10 CFR 50.72(a)(1)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1). No cross-cutting aspect is associated with this traditional enforcement violation because the associated performance deficiency was determined to be of minor significance and therefore not a finding. |
