| description = The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation of the NRCs reporting requirements in 10 CFR 50.73, Licensee Event Report System. The licensee failed to submit a required Licensee Event Report (LER) within 60 days after the discovery of an event that was reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as a condition which was prohibited by the plants Technical Specifications (TS) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(B) as a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function. The condition involved an inoperable diesel generator (DG) for longer than the TS completion time for restoration. The licensee subsequently submitted the required LER. Because this violation of the NRCs reporting requirements affected the NRC\'s ability to perform its regulatory function, the inspectors evaluated the violation using the traditional enforcement process in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy and assessed the significance of the underlying issue using the Significance Determination Process. The finding was of more than minor significance because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in the TS and the regulations in order to perform its regulatory function and, therefore if left uncorrected it could lead to a more significant safety concern. The inspectors previously determined that the underlying issue (i.e., the failure to correctly assemble a DG ventilation system damper that resulted in an inoperable DG) was a finding of very low safety significance during a detailed risk evaluation. Consistent with the guidance in Section 6.9, Paragraph d.9, of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the violation associated with this finding was determined to be a Severity Level IV Violation. This finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance. Specifically, the licensees decision making process while evaluating the reportability of the condition with respect to the reporting requirements in 10 CFR 50.73 was inadequate. | | description = The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation of the NRCs reporting requirements in 10 CFR 50.73, Licensee Event Report System.
