Title | Failure to Submit an LER |
Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV because Entergy personnel did not provide a written report to the NRC within 60 days after discovery of the event as required by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) for a condition which was prohibited by TS 3.5.E, Automatic Depressurization System (ADS). Specifically, on January 27, 2015, Pilgrim experienced a loss of offsite power and reactor scram during a winter storm. While operators performed a reactor cooldown with manual operation of safety relief valves (SRVs), the 3C SRV twice failed to open upon demand by the operations crew. Entergy staff initiated CR-PNP-2015-0561 to document SRV 3Cs failure to open, and the valve was immediately declared inoperable. The inspectors determined that the improper operation of SRV 3C was reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B). Entergy has captured this issue in CR-2015-6191. The inspectors determined that Entergys failure to submit an event notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73 within the required time was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Entergys ability to forsee and correct, and should have been prevented. Because the issue had the potential to affect the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, the inspectors evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. Using example 6.9.d.9 from the Enforcement Policy, the inspectors determined that the violation was a Severity Level IV (a failure of a licensee to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73) violation. Because this violation involves the traditional enforcement process and does not have an underlying technical violation, inspectors did not assign a cross-cutting aspect to this violation in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B. |
