| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 CFR Part 50.54(q)(2) requires, in part, that a licensee shall follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan which meets the planning standards of 10 CFR Part 50.47(b). 10 CFR Part 50.47(b)(4) requires that a standard emergency action level (EAL) scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by nuclear facility licensee, and state and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees fo
determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures. Contrary to the above, from May 2011 to November 2013, the licensee failed to maintain the effectiveness of its emergency plan. The System Malfunction EAL for Fuel Clad Degradation (SU4) listed incorrect reactor coolant sample activity threshold values and the Fission Product Barrier EAL contained an incorrect drywel radiation monitor threshold value for reactor coolant system leakage (FA1). These incorrect EAL values were associated with changes to the license technical specifications when incorporating an alternate source term. The licensee implemented immediate compensatory actions by issuing a standing order to include the correct threshold values and informed appropriate operators and decisionmakers These corrected values were then incorporated into Revision 3 of procedure NMP-EP-110-GL02, HNP EALs ICs, Threshold Values and Basis. The issue was placed in their corrective action program as CR732879. This violation was determined not to be greater than Green as these incorrect EAL threshold values only affected Unusual Event and Alert declarations using Inspection Manual Chapte 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Revision dated September 26, 2014. |
