Title | Incomplete and Inaccurate Emergency Action Level Change Submittal |
Description | The NRC identified a Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50.9 for failing to provide complete and accurate information for prior approval of a new Emergency Action Level (EAL) scheme. The licensees submittal to the NRC, entitled, Revision to Emergency Action Levels, dated October 22, 2004, was not complete and accurate in all material respects. The submitted EAL scheme specified instrument threshold values for Alert classifications, EALs RA1.1 and RA1.2, which were beyond the indicated ranges of the effluent radiation monitors R-18, R-25, and R-31. The NRC accepted and approved the proposed EALs not realizing the information was incomplete and inaccurate. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to provide complete and accurate information to the NRC, a violation of 10 CFR 50.9, was a performance deficiency and within the licensees ability to foresee and prevent. The deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone attribute of Procedure Quality. As a violation that potentially impedes or impacts the regulator process, it was dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process as described in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Revision 04/30/10. Using Section 6.9 of the Enforcement Policy and after consultation with the Director of the Office of Enforcement, this issue was determined to be a Severity Level IV violation. Specifically, though the NRC would have questioned the issue with additional and correct information, the EAL ultimately would have been acceptable with an adjustment in the indicator range or EAL entry criteria value. In either case, it would not have resulted in substantial further inquiry. Additionally, the associated technical violation was determined to be of very low safety significance. As this was a traditional enforcement action, no cross cutting aspect was screened. |
