| Title | Failure to Report a Degraded Primary Safety Barrier in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 |
| Description | The NRC identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii)(A), when the licensee failed to provide an 8-hour event notification and a licensee event report (LER) within 60 days to the NRC for the plant being in a condition that caused a principal safety barrier to be seriously degraded, after a cracked weld was discovered in the reactor coolant system boundary on March 13, 2012. The licensee generated CR 557188 to document the failure to provide the required notification and report to the NRC. Failure to report a seriously degraded principal safety barrier as required by 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii)(A) was a performance deficiency. Using the guidance of IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, the inspectors determined the performance deficiency involved a violation that could have impacted the regulatory process, therefore, this violation was dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process. In accordance with Section 6.9.d.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, a failure to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 or 50.73 is a Severity Level IV violation. Cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement violations. |
