| Title | Failure or Emergency Preparedness Drill Critique to Identify a Risk-Significant Planning Standard Weakness |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities,Section IV.F.2.g. Specifically, CENG did not identify and critique a weakness related to a risk-significant planning standard during their critique following the March 11, 2014, emergency preparedness drill. CENGs immediate corrective actions included entering the issues associated with the drill critique into its CAP. The inspectors determined that CENGs failure to identify and critique an emergency preparedness drill performance weakness in the formal critique was a performance deficiency that was within CENGs ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. Specifically, CENG did not identify that operators failed to notice the loss of annunciator panels for approximately 7 minutes, contrary to the planned scenario summary and timeline, and that it took a computer alarm, not associated with the loss of annunciator panels, to alert the operators to the loss of the annunciator panels. The inspectors determined that the failure to identify the drill performance weakness was more than minor, because it was associated with the emergency response organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, CENGs failure to effectively identify an emergency preparedness drill performance weakness caused a missed opportunity to identify and correct a drill-related performance deficiency. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings. The attachment instructs the inspectors to utilize IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, when the finding is in the licensees Emergency Preparedness cornerstone. The inspectors determined this finding was a critique finding, the drill scope was full scale, the planning standard was a risk-significant planning standard, and the performance opportunity status was a success. Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Conservative Bias, because CENG personnel did not use decision-making practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. Specifically, CENG personnel did not exhibit conservative bias in their choice to consider the operators identification of the lost annunciator panels timely. |
