Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a White Significance Determination Process (SDP) finding will be issued on or around March 29, 2005, to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company as a result of inspections at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. This White finding, an issue with low to moderate increased importance to safety which may require additional NRC inspections, involved the licensees failure to implement the emergency classification system and emergency action levels described in the Perry Power Plant Emergency Plan during an event which was classified at the Alert level on July 20, 2004.
This finding was classified as White because it involved a failure to implement a risk significant planning standard. Prior to the issuance of this White finding the licensees performance was in the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone column of the agency action matrix.
A Notice of Violation is included because this preliminary White finding was associated with a violation of 10 CFR 50.54, Conditions of Licenses; 10 CFR 50.47, Emergency Plans; and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan. Specifically, the licensee did not conduct the emergency dose assessment required by Emergency Action Level (EAL) HA1 within 15 minutes of the licensees classification of the event as an Alert. The licensee completed the emergency dose assessment 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and 40 minutes after the Alert declaration. As a result, the licensee failed to meet the requirements of their emergency plan during a declared Alert.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement actions. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Final Significance Determination March 29, 2005 Telephone Notification of Licensee March 29, 2005 The State of Ohio will be notified.
The licensee has 30 days from the date of the letter in which to respond.
