May 21, 2018 Mr. Thomas Gurdziel
[HOME ADDRESS DELETED UNDER 10 CFR 2.390(A)]
SUBJECT:
NRC RESPONSE TO YOUR CONCERN REGARDING THE UNTIMELY CLOSURE OF DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR STATION LICENSEE EVENT REPORT 2016-008-000, AND ITS SUBSEQUENT REVISION 2016-008-001
Dear Mr. Gurdziel:
This letter is in response to your April 20, 2018, email message to NRC Chairman Sviniki, which shared your concern regarding the untimely closure of Davis-Besse Nuclear Station Licensee Event Report (LER) 2016-008-000, and its subsequent Revision 2016-008-001, Application of Technical Specification for the Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation.
In your email, you observed that holding the LER open for an extended period of time was not in alignment with the agencys Principles of Good Regulation - Reliability and Efficiency. As you are likely aware, letters to senior NRC officials are generally placed into ADAMS as publically available documents unless there is a reason to exclude the letter from ADAMS.
First, let me assure you that at the time of the event described in the LER, our inspection staff performed a thorough inspection of the circumstances as described in the LER. Specifically, our resident inspectors documented their review of the technical aspects of the subject event in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000346/2016003, dated November 4, 2016 (ADAMS ML16309A098). Our focus was ensuring that the licensee appropriately addressed the underlying technical and safety issue.
Secondly, I fundamentally agree that timely review and closure of LERs is appropriate and demonstrates our commitment to being timely and effective in fulfilling our regulatory oversight responsibilities. Our region monitors the status of open LERs and was conducting a final review of the LER at the time you expressed interest in its status. The timeliness of review of LERs is dependent on several factors including potential safety significance and other extenuating circumstances. In this particular case, after we determined that there was no immediate safety concern, we deferred our final review until the completion of an investigation to determine whether any of the licensee activities concerning the event and the use of compensatory measures to declare one of the safety features actuation system channels operable constituted deliberate misconduct. On May 2, Region III issued the enclosed letter (ML18122A384) to the licensee, indicating that the investigation had been concluded and the NRC determined that no deliberate misconduct had been substantiated. The time it took to complete the investigation and Agency assessment was typical for a case of this nature.
With the conclusion of the investigation, the Davis-Besse Resident Inspectors will complete their review of the event report. The LER will be closed during the current calendar quarter of inspection activities and will be documented in NRC Integrated Inspection Report 05000346/2018002, which will be issued no later than August 14, 2018. Following our
T. Gurdziel issuance of that report, should you have any additional questions concerning our closure of the LER, please contact Mr. Jamnes Cameron, the Region III Division of Reactor Projects Branch Chief responsible for oversight of our inspection program at Davis-Besse, at 630-829-9833, or jamnes.cameron@nrc.gov.
As a matter of practice, the NRC does not discuss or acknowledge ongoing investigations. I trust this letter fully responds to your concerns.
Thank you for bringing your questions and thoughts to our attention.
Sincerely,
/RA/
K. Steven West, Regional Administrator Region III
