| Title | Late State Notification of Unusual Event |
| Description | A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.54q(2) for failure to follow the approved emergency plan. Specifically, on August 10, 2012, state officials were not notified within 15 minutes of the declaration of an Unusual Event. State notification is a risk-significant planning standard requirement required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV.D.3 and Section 5.2.1, of the licensees Radiological Emergency Plan. The issue was greater than minor because it was associated with the Emergency Planning cornerstone attribute of Emergency Response Organization performance during an actual event. The finding affected the cornerstone objective in that timely notification is critical to ensuring that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The inspectors reviewed this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Attachment 1, Failure to Implement (Actual Event) Significance Logic. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was a failure to implement during an Unusual Event. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Decision-Making, because the unit supervisor, in the absence of the shift manager, did not effectively fulfill his responsibility to direct or perform required state communications within the required 15 minute time period as required by the Radiological Emergency Plan. |
