| Title | Inadequate Procedure for Identification of Significant Conditions Adverse to Quality |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and non-cited violation of Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, for the licensees failure to prescribe a procedure appropriate to the circumstances with respect to the identification of a significant condition adverse to quality (SCAQ). Specifically, FPPAARP01, CAP Action Request Process, provided an overly restrictive definition of what constituted a SCAQ. Consequently, the failure to provide an adequate definition of a SCAQ could result in a failure to identify a SCAQ and therefore, failure to implement corrective actions that preclude repetitive failures of safety-related equipment. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as action request (AR) 1536735. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to prescribe a procedure appropriate to the circumstances under FPPAARP01 was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," because, if left uncorrected the performance deficiency would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Although, this issue could potentially affect each of the Reactor Safety Cornerstones, the inspectors elected to evaluate this issue under the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone because inspectors concluded it impacted the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage) more than the attributes of the other Cornerstones. The inspectors utilized IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, and determined that the finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) since the inspectors answered No to each of the questions in Exhibit 2, Section A, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions. The inspectors determined that the performance characteristic of the finding that was the most significant causal factor of the performance deficiency was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of Problem Identification and Resolution, Self-Assessment, and involving the organization routinely conducting self-critical and objective assessments of its programs and practices. Specifically, the failure to identify the overly restrictive definition of SCAQ during previous audits of the CAP was caused by an insufficiently self-critical audit focus. |
