| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 55.53(e) requires, in part, that to maintain active status, a licensee shall actively perform the functions of an operator or senior operator on a minimum of seven 8-hour shifts or five 12-hour shifts per calendar quarter and that if a licensee has not been actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator, the licensee may not resume activities authorized by a license issued except as permitted by 10 CFR 55.53(f). 10 CFR 55.53(f) requires, in part, that before resumption of licensed functions, an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall certify that: 1) the licensees qualification and status of the licensee are current and valid; and 2) that the licensee has completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the direction of an operator or senior operator as appropriate and in the position to which the individual will be assigned. Contrary to the above, between July 2, 2016, and July 5, 2016, Entergy did not properly ensure that the qualifications and status of an SRO was current and valid, regarding the SRO meeting the minimum of seven 8-hour or five 12-hour shifts per calendar quarter. Specifically, the SRO stood watch as a control room supervisor in July 2016 while having stood only four of the five required 12-hour proficiency watches in a creditable position in the prior quarter. In the prior quarter, the SRO stood watch as a shift technical advisor and field support supervisor. These watches are not creditable toward the proficiency requirement. The SRO was removed from shift and was properly reactivated as required by 10 CFR 55.53(f). This issue was entered in Entergys CAP as CR-IP2-2016-04440. Corrective actions taken included counseling of the SRO and the auditor. To prevent reoccurrence, a software fix was implemented to check the proficiency status of operators when logging into their shift. This violation was assessed using the traditional enforcement process because it involved an operator license condition that was not met, which impacts the NRCs regulatory process. Although this violation is similar to a Severity Level III example in the NRC Enforcement Policy, based on the circumstances surrounding the issue including a verification that there were no operational errors as a result of the violation, the issue was evaluated as a Severity Level IV. |
