Title | Failure to Update the Fire Emergency Plan |
Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant Operating Licenses, because the licensee failed to include electrical and physical hazards, which were installed as a result of the extended power uprate (EPU) modification, in the Fire Emergency Plan (FEP). Specifically, this failure could have adversely impacted the fire brigades ability to fight a fire in fire zones 304N and 304S. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as action request AR01833683 for evaluation and development of corrective actions. The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance, 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, the failure to include electrical and physical hazards in FEP 4.12, which were installed as a result of the EPU modification, could have adversely impacted the fire brigades ability to fight a fire in fire zones 304N and 304S. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, Tables 2 and 3, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2 for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors answered No to the Appendix A, Exhibit 2.B question for external event mitigating systems (Seismic/Fire/Flood/Severe Weather Protection Degraded). Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control, because the licensee failed to coordinate the work activities associated with the EPU modification such that the impact of the modification was evaluated against all applicable programs, including fire protection, consistent with nuclear safety. |
