| Title | Use of an Analytical Method to Determine the Core Operating Limits Without Prior NRC Approval |
| Description | The NRC identified a Severity Level lV non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.1.f.2 in that Exelon did not obtain NRC approval prior to using a specific analytical method to determine the core operating limits. Specifically, Exelon used an analytical method (TRACG04P) to determine the core operating limits (the average power range monitor protection settings which were identified in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)); however, that particular analytical method was not previously reviewed and approved by the NRC prior to Exelons use. Exelon submitted a corrective action issue report (IR) to evaluate the condition (IR2482042). The team determined that Exelon did not comply with TS 6.9.1.f.2 requirements in that Exelon used an analytical method to determine the core operating limits without prior NRC approval. The team determined that this was a performance deficiency that was within Exelons ability to foresee and correct. Because the issue had the potential to affect the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, the team evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. Using the Enforcement Manual, the team characterized the violation as Severity Level IV because the underlying analytical method required NRC approval prior to use. Because this violation involves the traditional enforcement process and does not have an underlying technical violation that would be considered more-than-minor within the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), the team did not assign a cross-cutting aspect to this violation in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Section 07.03.c. |
