| description = The licensee identified a Severity Level IV violation of 10 CFR 50.59, (Changes, Tests, and Experiments, for the failure to demonstrate in a written evaluation that prior NRC-approval was not required for changes made to an accident analysis. Specifically, the licensee incorrectly concluded in written Evaluation 1102, Waste Gas Tank Rupture Dose Analysis, Revision 0 that higher activity levels and dose rates at the Exclusion Area Boundary and Low Population Zone associated with extended plant life due to license extension did not result in a more than minimal increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The inspectors determined the violation was of Severity Level IV because the associated finding was of very low safety significance (Green) as there was no actual radioactive material release. The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program as AR 1417573 and AR 1427150 and intended to submit a license amendment request for review by the NRC.
