A finding of very low safety significance and an associated
Severity Level IV NCV of
10 CFR 50.54(q) was NRC-identified when licensee personnel failed to obtain prior NRC approval for a change to the Perry
Emergency Plan concerning emergency response organization (
ERO) staffing and response timeliness. Because the issue affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, it was processed through the traditional enforcement process and evaluated using the
SDP
Using IMC 0612, Appendix B, \\\"Issue Dispositioning Screening,\\\" the inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the ERO readiness and procedure quality attributes of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency
The finding was considered to be of only very low safety significance since the period of vulnerability to the issue was short
As part of the licensees corrective actions, the issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program for resolution as CR 05-03271.
