| Title | Inadequate Procedure for Protection against High Winds |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1 when licensee personnel failed to maintain and implement an adequate procedure covering Acts of Nature. Specifically, the licensees interpretation of Abnormal Operating Procedure (AOP)38 entry conditions resulted in a decision not to enter the procedure despite available information indicating the presence of high wind conditions in the vicinity of the plant. The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2014-04155, NRC Questioned Entry into AOP-38, dated August 20, 2014. Planned corrective actions include a procedure revision to clarify the procedure entry conditions. The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Factors attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the preparatory actions prescribed by AOP-38 were directly related to the Initiating Events Cornerstone objective and inconsistent application of those actions in advance of high wind conditions increased the likelihood of debris-induced initiating events. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions, Section B, Transient Initiators, because the finding did not result in a reactor trip or the loss of mitigating equipment, it was determined to be of very low safety significance. This finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect of Training in the Human Performance cross-cutting area. Specifically, the licensees interpretation of procedure AOP-38 entry conditions was a result of the training provided to operators. |
