| Title | |
| Description | A Green, severity level (SL) IV, non-cited violation was identified by the NRC for the failure of the licensee to update the updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) for a modification to the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) portion of the reactor building spray system. This modification installed recirculation and feed components primarily consisting of a feed tank and pump for makeup to the tank, a recirculation pump, and associated valves and piping. This violation is in the licensees corrective action program as condition report 12-03644. The failure to update the UFSAR to describe adequate facility operation for the aforementioned NaOH modification as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e) was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD is more than minor and therefore a finding because if left uncorrected it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Additionally, the violation is considered for traditional enforcement because not having an updated UFSAR hinders the licensees ability to perform adequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and can impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function such as license amendment reviews and inspections. This violation is also a finding which is evaluated by the significance determination process (SDP) to assess the effect on safety. However, the SDP does not specifically consider the effect on the regulatory process. Consequently, given the common regulatory concern different processes are used to correctly reflect both the regulatory importance of the violation and the safety significance of the associated finding. The inspectors evaluated the finding in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significant Determination Process, attachment 4 and appendix A and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance or Green because it was not a design deficiency, did not result in the loss of a system function, or have an impact on components needed to mitigate a seismic, flooding or severe weather initiating event. Additionally, this finding was determined to be a SL-IV violation using Section 6.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy because the inaccurate information was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility or procedures. There are no cross-cutting aspects because the finding was not representative of current licensee performance and cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations. |
