| Title | Failure to Maintain the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for Radwaste Systems and Processes |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e), Maintenance of Records, Making of Reports, with two examples for the failure to restore compliance within a reasonable time after a previous Severity Level IV non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e) was identified. The violation was identified because the licensee failed to periodically update the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) with all changes made in the facility or procedures. Specifically, Example 1: From 1988 to 2013, the licensee did not update Chapter 11.2.2.3, Liquid Radwaste System, with a description of the temporary adsorption tanks and their use. The licensee has entered this violation into their corrective action program as PVAR 3075089. Example 2: From December 2003 to January 2013, the licensee made changes to the facility and procedures as described in the UFSAR, and performed safety analyses and evaluations in support of these changes, but failed to update the UFSAR to include these changes. Specifically, the licensee built the old steam generator storage facility used for long-term storage of radioactive waste (six replaced steam generators and three reactor vessel heads) on the owner controlled site until decommissioning. The licensee has entered this violation into their corrective action program as Condition Report (CR) 3398042 and PVAR 4330483. This violation is more than minor because the NRC relies on licensees to identify and report conditions or events meeting the criteria specified in the regulations in order to perform its regulatory function. Because this issue affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. The issue was characterized as a Severity Level IV violation in accordance with Section 6.1.d.3 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because the erroneous information in the UFSAR was not used to make an unacceptable change to the facility or procedures. A cross-cutting aspect was not assigned because the violation was handled through traditional enforcement. |
