| Title | |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v) when licensee personnel failed to report a condition that resulted in a loss of safety function after the UHS was declared inoperable after exceeding the TS limit of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Specifically, on July 7, 2012, the licensee had identified and entered TS 3.7.9, Ultimate Heat Sink, Condition (A), Ultimate Heat Sink Inoperable, after the UHS lake temperature exceeded the TS 3.7.9.2 Surveillance Requirement value of less than or equal to 100F. The inspectors determined that although this condition represented a loss of safety function in accordance with the 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 reporting requirements and NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73, Revision 2, the condition was not reported as required. This issue was entered into the licensees CAP as IR 1422296. Corrective actions included an action to report this event in accordance with NRC requirements. The inspectors determined that the failure to submit a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 and a Licensee Event Report (LER) required by 10 CFR 50.73 for a loss of safety function after the UHS was declared inoperable on July 7, 2012, was a performance deficiency. This violation had the potential to impact the regulatory process based, in part, on the generic communications that 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 reports serve, the required ROP inspection reviews that the NRC performs on all LERs, and the potential impact on licensee performance assessment. The inspectors determined that this issue was a Severity Level IV violation based on similar examples referenced in Section 6.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. Specifically, Example 9, The licensee fails to make a report required by 10 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73, and Example 10, A failure to identify all applicable reporting codes on a Licensee Event Report that may impact the completeness or accuracy of other information (e.g., performance indicator data) submitted to the NRC. Because cross-cutting aspects do not apply to traditional enforcement issues, no cross-cutting aspect was assigned. |
