| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification 3.1.7 requires, in part, that regulating CEAs groups shall be limited to insertion limits specified in the core operating limits report and the associated time restraints. Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2s core operating limits report, Figure 3.1.7-1, states that the fully withdrawn position is defined as greater than 147.75 in. as indicated on the pulse counter. Contrary to the above, on January 25, 2012, the licensee failed to meet the insertion limits specified in the core operating limits report and the associated time restraints. Specifically, on January 25, 2012, the licensee failed to ensure that group 3 assemblies were fully withdrawn to 147.75 in. and failed to shutdown as required, when the limiting condition of operations of technical specification 3.1.7 could not be met. The licensee took immediate corrective actions to fully withdraw rods and restore compliance when the non-compliance was identified. The licensee has submitted LER 05-529/2012-001-00 to document the condition prohibited by technical specifications. The licensee plans to modify procedures as corrective actions documented under PVAR 4037346. |
