- d. Once an unusual or important event has occurred, the required actions are:
(1) Refer to NPG-SPP-05.5, Environmental Control, Section Compliance with the NRC Appendix B to the Facility Operating License, for additional guidance.
(2) If required, SQN or WBN Site Licensing shall make a written report to the NRC in accordance with the NRC Non-routine Report, OL Appendix B, Subsections 5.4.2, within 30 days, in the event of a reportable occurrence in which a limit specified in a relevant permit or certificate issued by another Federal, State, or local agency is exceeded.
3.6 Retraction or Cancellation of Event Reports An ENS notification may be retracted via a follow-up telephone call. If an ENS notification is make and its later determined that the event or condition was not reportable, Plant Operations should call the NRC Operations Center on the ENS telephone to retract the notification and explain the rational for that decision. There is no set time limit for ENS telephone retractions. However, because most retractions occur following completion of engineering and/or management review, it is expected that retractions would occur shortly after such review.
Cancellation of LERs submitted should be made by letter. The letter should state that the LER is being cancelled (i.e., formally withdrawn). The bases for the cancellation should be explained so that the staff can review and understand the reasons supporting the determination.

Reporting of Events or Conditions Affecting Licensed Nuclear Power Plants 3.0 REQUIREMENTS NOTES
- 1) Internal management notification requirements for reportable plant events and conditions are found in Procedure NPG-SPP-01.12, TVA Nuclear Event Response Process. The Operations Shift Manager is responsible for notifying Site Operations Management and the Site Duty Plant Manager. The Site Duty Plant Manager is responsible for making the remaining internal management notifications to the NDO who communicates to the fleet executives, in accordance with NPG-SPP-01.6, Nuclear Duty Officer. Internal management notification was previously described in Appendix D of NPG-SPP-03.5. Internal management notifications of emergent issues is described in Procedure NPG-SPP-01.12, TVA Nuclear Event Response Process.
- 2) NRC NUREG-1022, Revision 3 and subsequent revisions should be used, in its entirety, as guidance for determining reportability of plant events pursuant to §50.72 and §50.73. A text searchable copy of NUREG-1022 is maintained on the TVA NPG Nuclear Licensing Webpage.
- 3) In addition to reviewing the clarifying discussion and examples associated with specific reporting criteria [e.g., discussion of utilization of engineering judgment when evaluating Unanalyzed Conditions in NUREG -1022, Section 3.2.4(B)], NUREG-1022, Section 2, Reporting Areas Warranting Special Mention, should also be reviewed. [R.1]
3.1 Immediate Notification - NRC TVA is required by §50.72 and §73.71 to notify NRC immediately if certain types of events occur. This Attachment contains the types of events and the allotted time in which NRC must be notified. (Refer to NRC Form 361 at www.nrc.gov). Operations is responsible for making the reportability determinations for §50.72 and §50.73 reports. Site Nuclear Security and Corporate Nuclear Security are responsible for making the reportability determinations for 73.71 reports. For any §50.72, §50.73, or §73.71 event, condition, or issue having the potential for being reportable, contact Site Licensing for consultation and concurrence on the reportability determination. In no event shall the lack of licensing concurrence result in a failure to meet specified reporting timeframes. Operations is responsible for making the immediate notification to NRC in accordance with §50.72. The Site Security Manager will request the Plant Shift Manager to call the NRC Operations Center, when appropriate.
Notification is via the Emergency Notification System. If the Emergency Notification System is not operative, use a telephone, telegraph, mailgram, or facsimile.

3.6 Retraction or Cancellation of Event Reports An ENS notification may be retracted via a follow-up telephone call. If an ENS notification is make and its later determined that the event or condition was not reportable, Plant Operations should call the NRC Operations Center on the ENS telephone to retract the notification and explain the rational for that decision. There is no set time limit for ENS telephone retractions. However, because most retractions occur following completion of engineering and/or management review, it is expected that retractions would occur shortly after such review.
Cancellation of LERs submitted should be made by letter. The letter should state that the LER is being cancelled (i.e., formally withdrawn). The bases for the cancellation should be explained so that the staff can review and understand the reasons supporting the determination.
