| Title | Use of an Analytical Method to Determine the Core Operating Limits without Prior NRC Approva |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of Technical Specification (TS) Section 5.6.5, for using an analytical method that was not previously reviewed and approved by the NRC. Specifically in 2013, the licensee used TRACG04P code to determine the Oscillation Power Range Monitor setpoints prior to NRC approval. The TRACG04P code was reviewed and approved in April 24, 2015. TS Section 5.6.5.b stated, in part that the analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits shall be those previously reviewed and approved by the NRC, specifically those described in the TS. The licensee entered this finding into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as IR 02528609 and IR 02528612 to correct the issue. The inspectors determined that this issue was a performance deficiency and 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 the Enforcement Manual, the inspectors characterized the violation as Severity Level IV because the underlying analytical method required NRC approval prior to use. The inspectors did not assign a cross-cutting aspect to this violation in accordance with IMC 0612, Section 07.03.c. |
