| Title | Inappropriate Removal of Workers Associated With Modification Work Activities on the BWST\'s from Work Hour Controls |
| Description | An NRC-identified NCV of 10 CFR 26.205 was identified when the licensee excluded individuals working on BWST modifications from work hour controls. This violation has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as PIP O-09-6989. The exemption of workers involved in work on a safety-related system from work hours controls was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected, the exclusion of workers from work hour controls could have led to a more significant safety concern due to personnel exceeding work hour limits while performing modification work on the BWSTs that could have adversely affected the primary water supply to the emergency core cooling systems. In addition, more than 60 workers were improperly excluded from work hour controls over the 2.5-month period encompassed by the licensees exclusion. This finding was determined be of very low safety significance (Green) based on no deficiencies occurring due to worker fatigue which affected risk significant structures, systems, or components. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of the licensee formally defining the authority and roles for decisions affecting nuclear safety and communicating these roles to applicable personnel as described in the Decision-Making component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area H.1(a). The licensee failed to ensure that the roles of personnel involved in processing requests exempting workers from work hour restrictions were adequately defined and communicated to ensure implementation of the work hour limits. |
