| Title | Failure to Submit a Licensee Event Report for an Unanalyzed Condition Associated with Fire Water |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) for not submitting the required licensee event reports within 60 days after discovery that the fire water supply header was isolated to fire areas in Unit 2 where the fire hazard analysis credits water suppression for the achievement of safe shutdown in the event of a fire. Following prompting by the inspectors, the licensee determined that the impact to the safe shutdown equipment should have been reported as an unanalyzed condition per 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii)(B). As a corrective action the licensee established a reportability review board, plans to conduct training, and plans to update station procedures to better ensure events are reviewed against all reporting requirements. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports 09-20106 and 09-20125. This finding is more than minor because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in the regulations in order to perform its regulatory function. Because this issue affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. Traditional enforcement violations are not screened for crosscutting aspects. The inspectors concluded that the failure to make a required licensee event report was a Severity Level IV violation using Section IV.A.3 and Supplement I Paragraph D.4, of the NRC Enforcement Policy, dated March 16, 2005 (Section 1R15). |
