| Title | Failure to Control Transient Combustible in Designated High Risk areas |
| Description | An NRC-identified non-cited violation (NCV) of the T.S. 5.4.1.d, Fire Protection Program Implementation, was identified for the licensees failure to control transient combustible materials in designated high risk areas in Unit 1 and Unit 3. The licensees corrective action was to remove the combustible materials. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as PER 845630 and 846184. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, because it was associated with the Protection Against External Factors attribute (Fires) of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, leaving unanalyzed transient combustibles in proximity to safety related equipment could affect the equipments ability to perform its safety function during a credible fire scenario. The finding was characterized according to IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), Appendix F, Attachment 1, Fire Protection SDP Phase 1 Worksheet dated September 24, 2013. This issue screened as low safety significance (Green), per Attachment 1 question 1.3 because it did not affect the ability of the reactor to reach and maintain safe shutdown. The cause of this finding was directly related to the Human Performance cross cutting aspect of Change Management. Plant leaders did not use a systematic process for evaluating and implementing change so that nuclear safety remains the overriding priority. Specifically, the impact of the new procedures for transient combustible controls did not apply change management controls such as site wide communication and training to make workers aware of the new requirements. |
