| Title | Failure to Evaluate Unapproved Combustibles in Accordance With Procedures |
| Description | An NRC-identified Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3 Renewed Facility Operating License Condition 3.D was identified for the licensees failure to follow procedures for the control of transient combustible materials. The team identified five examples where the licensee failed to follow procedure Nuclear System Directive (NSD) 313, Control of Transient Fire Loads, in that unapproved combustible materials were stored in fire areas/fire zones without proper evaluation and without appropriate compensatory actions being implemented. The licensee entered these issues into the corrective action program as Problem Investigation Program documents O-13-07896, O-13-07897, O-13-07989, O-13-08051, and O-13-08459; and initiated immediate corrective actions to remove the unapproved combustibles from the identified fire areas/fire zones. The licensees failure to follow procedure NSD 313 for storage of transient combustibles in fire areas/fire zones was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safety mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external events (i.e. fire), and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it only affected the ability to reach and maintain cold shutdown conditions. The cause of this finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect of H.4(b) in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance area, because the licensee did not define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel did not follow procedures. |
