December 17, 2010 EN 10-053 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Carolina Power and Light Company EA-10-192 Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-325 and 50-324
Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation (NOV) associated with a White Significance Determination Process (SDP) finding will be issued on or around December 22, 2010, to Carolina Power and Light Company (Licensee) as a result of an inspection at Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2. This White finding, an issue with low to moderate safety significance, which may require additional NRC inspections, involved the Licensees failure to implement its Emergency Plan to provide initial facility accident response through timely augmentation of on-shift staffing after declaration of an Alert at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. Specifically, on June 6, 2010, the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) were not timely activated in accordance with the Emergency Plan.
An NOV is included based on the Licensees failure to meet 10 CFR 50.54(q), which requires, in part, that the facility shall follow and maintain in effect Emergency Plans which meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b). 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2), requires, in part, that timely augmentation of response capabilities is available. To meet this requirement, the Licensees Emergency Procedures require activation of the OSC, TSC and EOF respectively within 60 - 75 minutes following the declaration of an ALERT or higher emergency classification. During the June 6, 2010 Alert, these facilities were activated after about two and one-half hours. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, the NOV is considered an escalated enforcement action because it is associated with a White finding.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action.
The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of final significance determination December 22, 2010 Telephone notification of licensee December 22, 2010 The State of North Carolina will be notified.
