2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference 5.0 PROCEDURE 5.1 Immediate Reportability
- 1. The Shift Manager (SM) determines that an event requires immediate notification (per Attachment 1), or the Superintendent - Security (or On-duty Security Supervisor) informs the SM that an event requires notification to the NRC.
- 2. The SM prepares or assigns an individual to prepare the Reactor Plant Event Notification Worksheet (Attachment 7). Event Notification Worksheets for Safeguard/Security events are normally prepared by the Security Organization.
- 3. The Event Description narrative should be as short and concise as possible while conveying a clear description of the event. Attachment 5 may be used for developing one-hour notifications. Attachment 6 is a completed sample Worksheet.
- 4. The initial part of the Event Description should state:
- a. The initial conditions of the plant or affected systems prior to event occurrence.
- b. The actual event and direct cause, if known.
- c. The current conditions of the plant or affected systems Example - Plant was in Mode 1 at 50% reactor power and increasing load. At 1000, the reactor was manually tripped following a loss of both main feedwater pumps caused by feedwater regulating valve oscillations. The plant is stable in Mode 3 at normal temperature and pressure.
- 5. The balance of the Event Description should contain known specific details of precursor events which led to the reportable event, including the time of each event. Report only known facts; do not speculate.
Example - Feedwater regulating valve oscillations occurred when placing valves into automatic control. The A and B feedwater regulating valves had been successfully placed in automatic at 0950 and were controlling normally. When the C valve was placed in automatic at 0958, large oscillations were noted in the "C" valve followed by oscillations in the "A" and "B" valves. During the oscillation, the condensate booster pump tripped on low flow resulting in tripping of the feed pump. The reactor was manually tripped prior to receipt of a steam generator low water level signal.
AP-617 Rev. 35 Page 7 of 49
2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference 5.1 Immediate Reportability (continued)

As of 2:33 PM, EDT, more than 20% of the offsite emergency sirens were inoperable for greater than one hour due to loss of power caused by Hurricane Isabel. Currently 27 of 81 sirens are out of service. The State of North Carolina and all four counties within the 10-mile emergency planning zone were notified and are in stand-by to implement mobile route alerting if needed. At this time, Harris cannot estimate the time of siren recovery. This requires an 8-hour non-emergency notification per 10CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to the loss of a significant portion of the offsite notification system. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector was informed.

2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference Attachment 8 Sheet 1 of 6 Reportability Evaluation (REW) Worksheet Notification Requirements Per 10CFR50.73 Reports NCR-(Ref. NUREG-1022)
A Licensee Event Report (LER) is generally required for any event of the type described in this Attachment within 60 days after the discovery of the event. HNP shall report any applicable event if it occurred within three years of the date of discovery regardless of the plant mode or power level, and regardless of the significance of the structure, system, or component that initiated the event.
I. Description of the Event AP-617 Rev. 35 Page 43 of 49
2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference Attachment 8 Sheet 2 of 6 II. For each Reportability Evaluation, perform the following:
- Consult with or perform a pre-job briefing with Licensing.
- Using the details of the event, determine if the reporting category applies to this event.
- Mark the appropriate block Yes or No.
- If uncertain, gather more information to make the determination. Consult Licensing as needed.
- Reference NUREG-1022 as needed since it contains many examples that may aid in the determination.
- Complete the Reportable Evaluation Section to justify the conclusion that was reached based on known facts.
Situation meets this Reportable Event condition?
Yes No Plant Shutdown Required by Technical Specifications?
The completion of any nuclear plant shutdown required by the HNP Technical Specifications.
Yes No Operation or Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications?
Any operation or condition which was prohibited by the HNP Technical Specifications except when:
- a. The Technical Specification is administrative in nature;
- b. The event consisted solely of a case of a late surveillance test where the oversight was corrected, the test was performed, and the equipment was found to be capable of performing its specified safety functions; or
- c. The Technical Specification was revised prior to discovery of the event such that the operation or condition was no longer prohibited at the time of discovery of the event.
Yes No Deviation from Technical Specifications?
Any deviation from the HNP Technical Specifications authorized pursuant to section 50.54(x).

2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference Attachment 8 Sheet 3 of 6 Situation meets this Reportable Event condition?
Yes No System Actuation?
Any event or condition that resulted in a manual or automatic actuation of any of the systems listed below, except when:
- a. The actuation resulted from and was part of a pre-planned sequence during testing or reactor operation; or
- b. The actuation was invalid and; (1) Occurred while the system was properly removed from service; or (2) Occurred after the safety function had been already completed.
The systems to which the requirements above apply are:
- a. Reactor protection system (RPS) including reactor trip.
- b. General containment isolation signals affecting containment isolation valves in more than one system or multiple main steam isolation valves (MSIVs).
- c. Emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) including: high-head and low-head injection systems and the low pressure injection function of residual (decay) heat removal systems.
- d. Auxiliary or Feedwater system.
- e. Containment heat removal and depressurization systems, including containment spray and fan cooler systems.
- f. Emergency ac electrical power systems, including emergency diesel generators (EDGs).
- g. Emergency service water systems.
Yes No Common Cause Inoperability of Independent Trains or Channels?
Any event where a single cause or condition caused at least one independent train or channel to become inoperable in multiple systems or two independent trains or channels to become inoperable in a single system designed to:
- a. Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition,
- b. Remove residual heat,
- c. Control the release of radioactive material, or
- d. Mitigate the consequences of an accident.
AP-617 Rev. 35 Page 45 of 49
2014 NRC SRO Question 98 (23) Reference Attachment 8 Sheet 4 of 6 Situation meets this Reportable Event condition?
Yes No Event or Condition that Could Have Prevented Fulfillment of a Safety Function?
Any event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to:
- a. Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition;
- b. Remove residual heat;
- c. Control the release of radioactive material; or
- d. Mitigate the consequences of an accident.
Events covered above may include one or more procedural errors, equipment failures, and/or discovery of design, analysis, fabrication, construction, and/or procedural inadequacies. However, individual component failures need not be reported if redundant equipment in the same system was operable and available to perform the required safety function.
Yes No Single Cause that Could Have Prevented Fulfillment of the Safety Functions of Trains or Channels in Different Systems?
Any event or condition that as a result of a single cause could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function for two or more trains or channels in different systems that are needed to:
- a. Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition,
- b. Remove residual heat,
- c. Control the release of radioactive material, or
- d. Mitigate the consequences of an accident.
Events covered above may include cases of procedural error, equipment failure, and/or discovery of design, analysis, fabrication, construction, and/or procedural inadequacy. However, HNP is not required to report an event above if the event results from:
- a. A shared dependency among trains or channels that is a natural or expected consequence of the approved plant design; or
- b. Normal and expected wear or degradation.
Yes No Degraded or Unanalyzed Condition?
Any event or condition that resulted in:
- a. The condition of the nuclear power plant including its principal safety barriers, being seriously degraded; or
- b. The nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degraded plant safety.
