| Title | Failure to Notify the NRC Within Eight Hours of a Nonemergency Event |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.72, Immediate Notification Requirements for Operating Nuclear Power Reactors, for the licensees failure to notify the NRC Operations Center within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following discovery of an event meeting the reportability criteria as specified. Specifically, on December 23, 2009, the licensee failed to notify the NRC Operations Center within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> after the discovery of an event or condition that resulted in a condition where the spent fuel pool cooling system was prevented from fulfilling its safety function of residual heat removal with the complete core off loaded. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notification NN 200733257. The finding is greater than minor because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in regulations in order to perform its regulatory function, and when this is not done the regulatory function is impacted. The inspectors reviewed this issue in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0612 and the NRC Enforcement Manual. Through this review, the inspectors determined that traditional enforcement was applicable to this issue because the NRC\\\'s regulatory ability was affected. The inspectors determined that this finding was not suitable for evaluation using the significance determination process, and as such, was evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The finding was reviewed by NRC management and because the violation was determined to be of very low safety significance, was not repetitive or willful, and was entered into the corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a Severity Level IV noncited violation consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems such that the resolutions addressed causes and extent of conditions as necessary. This includes properly classifying, prioritizing, and evaluating for operability and reportability conditions adverse to qualit |
