An NRC-identified non-cited violation of the Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3 renewed facility operating licenses, condition 3.D. was identified for the licensees failure to maintain accurate pre-fire plans in areas that contain safety related equipment. Discrepancies such as failure to identify compressed gas cylinder and chemical storage areas, fire extinguisher locations, and physical building characteristics were identified in 79 fire zone pre-fire plans. The licensee modified the pre-fire plans to correct the deficiencies. This violation was entered into the licensees corrective action program (
CAP) as
PIP O-12-10817. The performance deficiency (
PD) was more than minor because it was associated with the
Mitigating Systems Cornerstone Attribute of Protection Against External Events (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective in that inaccurate pre-fire plans could impact the fire brigades ability to effectively fight a fire. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because an alternate means of
safe shutdown was available, the fire brigade consisted of plant personnel familiar with the plant layout and associated hazards, and appropriate firefighting equipment was available in each area. The cause of the
PD was directly related to the aspect of complete, accurate, and up-to-date procedures of the Resources Component in the cross cutting area of Human Performance because the licensee failed to ensure that other personnel were assigned the responsibility to maintain the pre-fire plans.
