| Title | Failure to Enter Abnormal Operating Procedure During Tornado Warning |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to implement a required abnormal operating procedure (AOP) during a period of impending severe weather. Specifically, the licensee failed to enter AOP-13C, Severe Weather Conditions, during a tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service for the specific location of the plant. The licensee immediately entered the issue into its corrective action program and conducted an apparent cause evaluation of the conditions. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of protection against external events and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not involve the loss or degradation of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event (e.g., seismic snubbers, flooding barriers, tornado doors), and did not involve the total loss of any safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources, because the licensee did not ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically, the entry conditions in AOP-13C were out-of-date and failed to provide an adequate nexus between the purpose and instructions of the procedure (H.2(c)). |
