| Title | 10 CFR 54.13 Apparent Violation for failure to provide complete and accurate information in response to RAIs |
| Description | This letter refers to the evaluations by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) of responses dated May 25,2012, provided by Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI), to requests for additional information (RAls) associated with the license renewal application for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. The responses pertained to requests by the NRC regarding the site\'s implementation of aging management activities for components included in two aging management programs. The NRC evaluation identified one apparent violation of NRC requirements that is being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC evaluation determined that EOI apparently failed to provide complete and accurate information to the NRC in responses dated May 25, 2012, to RAls B.1.22-1, B.1.22-2, and B.1.41-3. The three RAls addressed several issues with the aging management activities for the Flow-Accelerated Corrosion program and the Service Water Integrity program. The license renewal application stated that both of these programs were consistent with the corresponding programs described in NUREG-1801, \"Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.\" However, during its reviews of operating experience associated with these programs, the staff found indications that aspects of these programs were inconsistent with corresponding programs in the GALL Report. Enforcement is not being considered for the statements in the initial license renewal application, but for the apparent incomplete or inaccurate information in the responses to RAls intended to evaluate potential inconsistencies with the programs in the GALL Report. The RAI responses were material because the NRC needed the requested information to verify that certain components would be adequately managed for erosion mechanisms so that the intended functions will be maintained consistent with the current licensing basis, as required by 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(3). Therefore, EOI appears to be in violation of 10 CFR 54.13. |
