Subsequently, the licensee submitted LER 2016-003-00 for this issue on May 10, 2016. This violation was placed in the licensees corrective action program as CR 1166564.

In accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, dated May 6, 2016, traditional enforcement violations are not assessed for cross-cutting aspects. |
