| Title | Failure to Submit a LER within 60 days after Discovery of an Event |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) because the licensee did not submit required Licensee Event Reports (LERs) within 60 days after discovery of conditions that required a report. Specifically, the inspectors identified three instances of untimely LERs submittals for conditions related to an inoperable emergency feedwater pump, a single point vulnerability of spent fuel pool pumps, and a degraded fuel oil supply line for the Train A emergency diesel generator. The licensee submitted the reports at 332,163, and 101 days after discovery of the conditions, respectively. As a result, the licensee exceeded the 60 days for each condition that required a report. The inspectors noted that this is also contrary to the licensees reportability procedure UNT-006-010, Event Notification and Reporting. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution as CR-WF3-2010-5923. The immediate corrective actions include the performance of a human performance error review. The inspectors considered this issue to be within the traditional enforcement process because it has the potential to impede or impact the NRC\'s ability to perform its regulatory function. The inspectors used the NRC Enforcement Policy to evaluate the significance of this violation. The inspectors concluded that the violation is more than minor because it occurred repeatedly within a two year period and the licensee missed opportunities to identify the issue. The NRC relies on the licensee to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in regulations in order to perform its regulatory function, and when this is not done, this impacts the NRCs ability to carry out its statutory mission. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the work practices component of the human performance area because the licensee did not define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance |
