| Title | Operators Did Not Have Corrective Lens Kits Available to Implement Emergency Plan Requirements |
| Description | An NRC-identified NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q) was identified for a failure to follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which met the standards in 50.47(b). Specifically, 50.47(b)(8) states that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained. Contrary to this requirement, Ginna failed to provide spectacle adapter kits for all eyeglass wearers (i.e., non-soft contact wearers) that were key emergency response organization personnel who were potentially required to wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in order to fulfill emergency response functions. Ginna entered this performance deficiency into their CAP for resolution. Ginnas correction actions included revising procedures and electronic data files that govern the training and qualification of licensed operators to include steps that ensure licensed operators who require corrective lenses are provided SCBA lens inserts. This finding is more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) using IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness SDP, in that it did not involve a risk-significant planning standard (PS) and was not indicative of a PS functional failure. An adequate number of SCBA-qualified plant personnel with no vision correction needed, wearers of soft contacts, or personnel with vision correction lenses, designated as key emergency responders, were available for actual response in the event of an actual emergency. Therefore, the issue did not result in the failure to meet an emergency PS. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance because Ginna failed to ensure that equipment was available and adequate for key emergency response personnel |
