The licensee identified on August 15, 2011, that Diablo Canyon Power Plant had provided information to the NRC that was not complete and accurate in all material respects. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.9(a), requires, in part, that information provided to the Commission by a licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects. Contrary to the above, between August 17, 2005, and June 21, 2011, information provided to the Commission by Pacific Gas and Electric Company was not complete and accurate in all material respects. Specifically, licensee response
DCL-05-094, Thirty Day Response to
NRC Bulletin 2005-02, stated that site procedures had been modified to ensure that plant page announcements accomplish the described onsite protective measures; however, the plant page system was not adequate for this purpose in that not all personnel required to be covered by protective measures worked in buildings covered by the plant paging system. This violation is more than minor because it affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory functions. The finding was evaluated using Section 6.9 of the
NRC Enforcement Policy and determined to be a
Severity Level IV violation because accurate information would likely not have caused the NRC to reconsider a regulatory position or undertake a substantial further inquiry. The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program as Notifications 50390230 and 50441808. This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the
NRC Enforcement Policy.
