| Title | Failure to Follow Operability Determination Process |
| Description | The NRC identified a non-cited violation of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to follow their operability determination procedure. Specifically, the licensee did not provide a high degree of assurance of operability in their immediate determination of operability (IDO) and did not perform a prompt determination of operability (PDO) as required when evaluating the operability of the containment radiation monitors (high range) (CHRRMs). In response to this issue, the licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program as AR 2055160, re-evaluated the IDO in NCR 2052758, and performed a detailed determination of operability in a PDO as required by their procedure. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Facilities and Equipment Attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, an inadequate operability determination regarding the CHRRMs would adversely impact the licensees ability to classify, assess, and develop the correct protective measures following an accident. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) using the flowchart in IMC 0609, App. B, Attachment 2, because the finding resulted in a failure to comply with a non-risk significant planning standard and no planning standard function failure occurred. Specifically, failure to follow the operability determination procedure and adequately determine the operability of the CHRRMs resulted in the failure to provide and maintain adequate emergency equipment that supports the emergency response, however, no failure of the planning standard occurred because other parameters could be used to validate the indications from the CHRRMs. The team determined that the finding was indicative of current licensee performance, because the issue resulted from inadequate implementation of the licensees operability determination process during the course of the inspection. A crosscutting aspect of Operating Experience [P.5.] in the Problem Identification and Resolution Area was assigned because the organization did not systematically and effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external operating experience (OE) in a timely manner. |
