| Title | Failure to Satisfy 10 CFR 50.72 Reporting Requirements |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated Severity Level IV non-cited violation of the NRCs reporting requirements in 10 CFR 50.72(a)(1), Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors. 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 fulfillment of the safety function of the low pressure core spray (LPCS) system. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program (CAP) for evaluation and made an appropriate notification call to the NRC Operations Center. This finding was of more than minor significance because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in the Technical Specifications and the regulations in order to perform its regulatory function. Because this issue affected the NRC\'s ability to perform its regulatory function, the inspectors evaluated it using the traditional enforcement process and assessed the significance of the underlying issue using the Significance Determination Process (SDP). The underlying technical issue (i.e., an inoperable LPCS system) was determined to be of very low safety significance using the SDP. Consistent with the guidance in Section 6.9, Paragraph d.9, of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the violation associated with this finding was determined to be a Severity Level IV Violation. This finding affected the cross-cutting area of problem identification and resolution. Specifically, the licensee did not implement and institutionalize operating experience from a similar event reported at another licensees facility while evaluating the reportability of the inoperable single train safety system with respect to the 10 CFR 50.72 reporting requirements. |
