| Title | Failure to Submit an LER for a Condition Prohibited by the Plants Technical SpecificationS. |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) for failure to submit a Licensee Event Report within 60 days following discovery of a condition prohibited by Technical Specifications. The licensee made a procedure change in 1986 to Procedure 41OP-1HJ01, Control Room Handswitch/Valve Checklist, to maintain control room outside air dampers normally closed instead of the normally open position stipulated in the final safety analysis report. The inspectors concluded that the incorrect alignment of the dampers was a condition prohibited by Technical Specification 3.3.9, Control Room Essential Filtration Actuation Signal and that the licensee failed to adequately evaluate the issue for reportability. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as Palo Verde Action Request 3791486. The inspectors concluded the failure of Arizona Public Service to report a condition prohibited by Technical Specifications was a performance deficiency. The inspectors evaluated this performance deficiency using the traditional enforcement process because the failure to submit a required report affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. Consistent with the guidance in Section 2.2.2 and Section 6.9.d of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspectors concluded the finding was a Severity Level IV violation because the licensee failed to make a timely written report that resulted in no or relatively inappreciable potential safety consequences. |
