| Title | Scaffold Installation Procedure Not Properly Implemented |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, because AmerGen did not properly implement scaffolding control procedural requirements on August 11, 2008. Specifically, AmerGen did not perform engineering evaluations for scaffolding constructed within the minimum allowed distance of safety-related equipment to determine its acceptability. AmerGens corrective actions included modifying or removing scaffold, conducting a briefing on this issue to all scaffold builders and supervisors, and scheduling a second brief for scaffold builders who arrive at Oyster Creek prior to the upcoming refueling outage. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the external factors attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This finding was also similar to example 4.a in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, because AmerGen routinely did not perform evaluations for scaffolds constructed within the minimum allowed distance of safety related equipment. In accordance with IMC 0609.04, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency which resulted in a loss of operability or functionality, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as risk-significant for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and was not potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding or severe weather initiating event. The performance deficiency had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance because AmerGen did not follow procedures and obtain engineering evaluations for scaffold that did not meet the requirements contained in procedures for scaffold installation in the plant H.4(b).
