A non-cited violation was identified by the inspectors for failure to update the
UFSAR as required by
10 CFR 50.71(e) related to inclusion of the license amendment request safety analysis information pertaining to the use of alternative instrumentation and procedures in place of seismic qualification for the Containment Atmosphere Particulate Monitors (CAPRMs)
The issue was greater than minor because the failure to include in the
UFSAR the alternative methodology for
RCS leakage detection after a seismic event with unqualified CAPRMs, as described in the licensees safety analysis, was material to the acceptability of the license amendment requests. The inspectors found no subsequent changes made to the facility that were based on the erroneous information in the
UFSAR section. Consequently, this issue was considered to meet the criteria of a
severity level IV violation. This finding involved the crosscutting aspect of Problem Identification and Resolution.
