| Title | Unauthorized Transient Combustibles |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1.h for Units 1 and 2 for the licensees failure to control transient combustible materials in accordance with the fire protection program requirements. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement the guidelines specified in nuclear procedure NP 1.9.9, Transient Combustible Control, when they installed an energized extension cord (combustible material) for temporary lighting in a combustible exclusion area located in fire zone 151. Upon discovery, the licensee relocated the extension cord and placed the issue into their corrective action program as action request AR01811414. The inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of Protection Against External Factors (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during plant operations. Specifically, the inspectors determined that the routing of the energized extension cord in the containment spray pumps area could potentially affect both redundant trains of the pumps located in the area. In addition, the finding was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, Example 4.k, dated August 11, 2009. The transient combustible material was routed in a combustible free zone required for separation of redundant trains. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process [SDP], Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, Table 2, dated June 19, 2012, for the Initiating Events Cornerstone. The inspectors determined that the finding screened as having very low safety significance in Task 1.3.1 of IMC 0609, Appendix F. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control, because the licensee failed to coordinate the approval of a transient combustible control form with the fire protection engineer prior to routing the extension cord through the containment spray pumps area. |
