| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | A violation of very low safety significance (Severity Level IV) was identified by the licensee and was a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy. A violation of 10 CFR 50.72 was identified for failure to provide timely notification to the NRC. On June 25, 2009, Davis-Besse failed to provide timely notification to the NRC of the after-the-fact Alert classification resulting from an explosion in the switchyard. The delayed notification was not a result of competing safety-related activities, plant stabilization activities, or equipment failures. The delayed notification was not a result of the licensees initial failure to classify the event. At 07:50 hours the licensee recognized that conditions warranted the classification of an Alert and they had missed the Alert declaration; however, the licensee did not notify the NRC of the missed Alert until 11:44 hours, a period exceeding one hour notification requirement. The finding was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process because the deficiency had the potential to impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. Since the emergency condition no longer existed at the time the report was required and the report was untimely versus not reported at all, the issue was characterized as a violation of very low safety significance (SL IV) and as a NCV. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program (CR 09-61112) |
