| Title | Failure to Report a Condition that Could Have Prevented Fulfillment of a Safety Function |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) for failing to report an event or condition, that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function, to the NRC within eight hours. Specifically, control room operators placed both divisions of reactor water cleanup differential flow instruments in bypass, which rendered the instruments inoperable and resulted in a loss of the isolation function. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as AR 02645140 and created an action to submit a licensee event report under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v). The inspectors determined that the failure to report an event or condition, that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function, to the NRC within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> as required by 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) was a performance deficiency. The inspectors reviewed this issue in accordance with IMC 0612 and the Enforcement Manual. Violations of 10 CFR 50.72 are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process because they are considered to be violations that potentially impede or impact the regulatory process. The inspectors reviewed Section 6.9.d.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and determined this violation was Severity Level IV because the licensees failure to make the report, as required by 10 CFR 50.72, did not cause the NRC to reconsider a regulatory position or undertake substantial further inquiry. No cross-cutting aspect was assigned because cross-cutting aspects are not assigned to traditional enforcement only violations. |
