iri Inspectors noted that the licensee did not enter TS LCO's until EOP's directed a review of LCO status. This occurred very late into EOP implementation. In addition, when the LCO was entered, the time clock started when directed in the EOPs. This resulted in LCO entry hours after the condition occurred. If the practice continued, the inspectors were concerned that some TS LCO Action Statements could not be implemented when necessary.
