Title | Failure to Perform Required Quality Control lnspections |
Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X, lnspection, because Entergy personnel did not ensure that quality control verification inspections were consistently included and correctly specified in quality-affecting procedures and work instructions for construction-like work activities as required by the quality assurance program (OAP). Entergy personnel performed extensive reviews and initiated prompt fleet-wide corrective actions to ensure proper work order evaluation and proper inclusion of quality control verification inspections. This issue was entered into Entergy\'s corrective action program (CAP) as CR-HQN-2009-01184 and CR-HQN-2010-0013. This finding is more than minor because it is a programmatic deficiency that if lef
uncorrected, could lead to a more significant safety concern in that the failure to check quality attributes could involve an actual impact to plant equipment. This finding is associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone because missed quality control inspections during plant modifications could impact the availability, reliability, and capability of systems needed to respond to initiating events. Using IMC 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because the finding is a qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality. Specifically, inspectors verified by sampling that work documents provided objectiv quality evidence that work activities that had missed quality control verifications were properly performed. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision-making attribute because Entergy personnel did not have an effective systematic process for obtaining interdisciplinary reviews of proposed work instructions to determine whether Quality Controlverification inspections were appropriate. |
