| Title | Failure to Translate Design Basis Into Toxic Chemical Response Procedures |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to translate the design basis correctly into procedures and instructions for the operators. Specifically, the licensee did not update procedures and instructions to ensure that operators would don respirators within two minutes of detection of a toxic chemical, ammonia, as determined in a calculation. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and planned to revise the calculation using detection of odor as an entry condition for donning of respirator protection and update the operating procedures accordingly. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the failure to provide procedures or instructions to operators to don respirators could result in the operators becoming incapacitated and not being able to respond to an accident or event that had a possibility of radionuclide releases. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) due to the low probability of an ammonia release associated with a barge accident. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control, because the licensees engineering organization did not coordinate with the operations organization on the need to don respirators within two minutes of detection of ammonia gas following a postulated toxic chemical accident. |
