| Title | Failure to Adhere to Licensed Power Level Specified in Operating License |
| Description | A self-revealed finding and Non-Cited Violation of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Operating License DPR-42, Section C.1, was identified on January 2, 2009, due to the failure to maintain Unit 1 reactor power below the thermal power limitations stated in the facility operating license. Corrective actions for this issue included revising all associated operating procedures to ensure that operations personnel take action to lower reactor power if power levels exceed the licensed thermal power limitations. The inspectors determined that this issue was more than minor because if left uncorrected the operation of the reactor beyond the limits specified in the operating license could become a more significant safety concern. The inspectors determined that this issue was of very low safety significance because the finding was only associated with the fuel aspect of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and no core thermal limits were violated. The inspectors determined that this finding was cross-cutting in the Human Performance, Resources area because the licensee failed to have complete, accurate and up-to-date procedures regarding the maintenance of licensed thermal power levels (H.2(c)). |
