Title | Failure to Comply With Work Hour Rules for Non-Covered Workers |
Description | A finding of very low significance was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to implement Procedure EN-FAP-OM-006, Working Hour Limits for Non-Covered Workers, which established standard fleet guidance for working hour limits for Entergy non-covered (not covered under 10 CFR 26) workers as defined in EN-OM-123, Working Hour Limits. The inspectors identified that at least two non-covered managers on the nightshift, involved with the work planning and oversight of troubleshooting repair efforts for Panel D11-2, had not followed the standards for work hour limits and did not initiate condition reports when the work hour limits were exceeded, as required by Procedure EN-FAP-OM-006. Specifically, the inspectors identified that the Duty Station Manager worked approximately 25 consecutive hours from September 23 through September 24, and greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> in a 7-day period. The electrical superintendent exceeded the administrative limits of 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> in 24-hour period, 26 hours3.009259e-4 days <br />0.00722 hours <br />4.298942e-5 weeks <br />9.893e-6 months <br /> in 48-hour period, 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> in a 7 day period, and greater than a 10-hour break between work periods over a consecutive 19-day period of work. No violation of NRC requirements occurred. The licensee documented this condition in its corrective action program as CR-PLP-2011-05095 and CR-PLP-2011-05116. At the end of this inspection, the licensee continued to perform an apparent cause evaluation and extent of condition to determine extent of the problem and causes for the performance deficiency in order to develop corrective actions. The issue affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone because the 125-Volt DC system work plan development was overseen by the non-covered workers. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated December 24, 2009, because it revealed weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, could lead to more significant safety concerns associated with overseeing work on safety-related equipment. In addition, the inspectors concluded that the failure to implement working hour limitations for non-covered workers in Procedure EN-FAP-OM-006 was more than an isolated instance. The inspectors and Senior Reactor Analyst concluded that the use of IMC 0609, Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria, was the appropriate method for determining the significance. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix M, management review of this issue determined that this finding was of very low safety significance since the performance deficiency did not directly contribute to the event, as the non-covered workers were involved with the planning and not actual implementation of the work performed on September 25, 2011, on Panel D11-2. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources, because the licensee failed to ensure that personnel and other resources were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety; specifically, sufficient qualified personnel were available to maintain work hours within working hour guidelines |
