| Title | Failure to Notify the NRC within Eight Hours of a Non -Emergency Event that Could Have Prevented the Fulfillment of Multiple Safety Functions |
| Description | Severity Level IV. The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV Non- Cited Violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.72(b)(3)(v)(A) and (D), Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors, for the licensees failure to report an event to the NRC within eight hours that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function. Specifically, the licensee did not recognize there was a loss of safety function associated with multiple instrumentation functions as a result of a main steam turbine bypass valve opening at 100 percent reactor power. Therefore, the licensee did not make the required non- emergency eight hour report. After the inspectors questioned the licensees conclusion, the licensee recognized there was indeed a loss of safety function and submitted the eight -hour notification report on May 3, 2017. They also and entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as condition report ( CR) 2017 04939, CR 201704868, and CR 201705022. The failure to make an applicable non- emergency eight -hour event notification report within the required time frame was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that traditional enforcement was applicable to the issue because it impacted the NRCs regulatory process. In accordance with Section 2.2.2.d, and consistent with the examples included in Section 6.9.d.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation was screened as a Severity Level IV violation that was more than minor. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, because this violation involved traditional enforcement and does not have an associated finding that would be considered more- than -minor, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to this violation. |
