| Title | Failed to Submit an LER For a Condition Prohibited by TX Associated With EDG Fuel Oil Supply |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited violation (NCV) because Entergy did not provide a written 60-day report to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 50.73 relative to a condition which was prohibited by Technical Specifications (TS) 3.8.3. Specifically, on several occasions between September 2006 and July 2007 the volume for either the A or B fuel oil storage tanks (FOST) was such that there was an insufficient quantity of fuel oil to provide a seven day fuel oil supply for the associated emergency diesel generator (EDG) as required per Technical Specifications. Entergy personnel, in determining past reportability, improperly credited the associated fuel oil day tank towards the seven day supply and erroneously concluded on September 18, 2007, that the issue was not reportable. Entergys corrective actions included initiation of CR-JAF-2008-04323 and issuance of licensee event report (LER) 2009-001, Inadequate Engineering Calculation Results in Insufficient Inventory in EDG Fuel Oil Storage Tanks. In addition, Entergy revised applicable procedures to ensure the fuel oil storage tanks contain adequate fuel oil inventory to remain in compliance with the TS. This violation involved a failure to make a required report to the NRC and is considered to impact the regulatory process. Such violations are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the Significance Determination Process. Using the Enforcement Policy Supplement I, Reactor Operations, example D4 which states, A failure to make a required LER; the NRC determined this violation is more than minor and categorized as a Severity Level IV violation. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution related to the evaluation component because Entergy personnel did not properly consider the TS basis and, therefore, did not properly evaluate the reportability for the EDG FOSTs.
