| Title | Failure to Update the USAR for a Change to the Mitigation Strategy for the Design Basis External Flooding Event |
| Description | 10 CFR 50.71(e) required in part, that licensees shall periodically update the final safety analysis report (FSAR), originally submitted as part of the application for the operating license, to assure that the information included in the report contains the latest information developed. This submittal shall include the effects of all the changes necessary to reflect information and analysis submitted to the Commission by the licensee or prepared by the licensee pursuant to Commission requirement since the submittal of the original FSAR, or as appropriate, the last update to the FSAR under this section. Contrary to the above, from January 10, 2002 to January 31, 2014, the licensee did not update the FSAR to assure the information included in the report contained the latest information. Specifically, the licensee failed to update the FSAR with the description and basis for maintaining an external flooding mitigation plan to protect the site against external flooding events as changes to the facility and procedures were implemented, in that it failed to fully reflect and incorporate the use of a temporary levee to mitigate the consequences of a design basis PMF. In accordance with Section 6.1.c.7 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation was classified as a Severity Level III Violation. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action program as CAP 01355853. NRC Enforcement Policy Section 3.3, Violations Identified Because of Previous Enforcement Action, states in part, The NRC may refrain from issuing an NOV or a proposed civil penalty for a Severity Level II, III, or IV violation that is identified after the NRC has taken enforcement action, if the violation is identified by the licensee as part of the corrective action for the previous enforcement action and the violation has the same or similar root cause as the violation for which enforcement action was previously taken. In this case, the issue was identified by the licensee after the NRC had already taken enforcement action for another related violation evaluated as having substantial safety significance by the SDP. The previous violation was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000263/2013009 on August 29, 2013. As part of the corrective action for the previous enforcement action, the violation was corrected by revision to the USAR on January 31, 2014. Therefore, in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, and after consultation with the Director of the Office of Enforcement and the Region III Regional Administrator, the NRC has decided to exercise enforcement discretion in accordance with Section 3.3 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and to refrain from issuing enforcement action for the violation. In accordance with the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process, this condition will not be considered in the assessment process or the NRCs Action Matrix. |
