| description = SL IV. An NRC-identified severity level (SL) IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) was identified for the failure of the licensee to provide a written report to the NRC within 60 days of identifying a condition which was prohibited by plant Technical Specifications (TSs). The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as nuclear condition report (NCR) 2091608.  The inspectors had previously evaluated the underlying technical issue and determined the failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality, which resulted in the condition prohibited by Technical Specifications (TS), was a performance deficiency. The issue was documented as a Green NCV, 05000325;324/2016002-01, Failure to Identify Broken Auto Start Control Relay on Emergency Diesel Generator 1. The ROPs significance determination process does not specifically consider the regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it was necessary to address this violation which involved a failure to make a required report to the NRC and was considered to impact the regulatory process, using traditional enforcement to adequately deter non-compliance. Using the NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 6.9.d.9, the SL assigned to this violation was SL IV, because the licensee failed to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.73. This violation also meets the criteria for an NCV because it was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the licensees CAP. Traditional enforcement violations are not assessed for cross-cutting aspects.
