| description = The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) when licensee personnel failed to notify the NRC of a major loss of emergency assessment capability within 8 hours of the failure of the onsite seismic monitor used to classify an emergency action level. Upon recognizing that the event was reportable, the licensee made the notification to the NRC and entered the issue into their CAP as IR 2464734. The inspectors determined that this issue had the potential to impact the regulatory process based, in part, on the generic communications input that 10 CFR 50.72 reports serve. Since the issue impacted the regulatory process, it was dispositioned through the traditional enforcement process. The inspectors determined that this issue was a Severity Level IV violation based on Section 6.9, Inaccurate and Incomplete Information or Failure to Make a Required Report, Example d.9 in the NRC Enforcement Policy. Example d.9 specifically stated, A licensee fails to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73. Because a more-than-minor Reactor Oversight Process finding was not identified, there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this violation.
