| Title | Failure to Perform Adequate Operating Experience Reviews |
| Description | The team identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees programmatic failure to conduct adequate operating experience reviews for root cause evaluations in accordance with Station Procedure FCSG-24-4, Condition Report and Root Cause Evaluation, Revision 5. Specifically, during the course of the inspection, the team identified four specific examples where licensee staff failed to conduct a thorough operating experience review while performing a root cause analysis to determine whether the same or similar problems have occurred at the Fort Calhoun Station or within the industry. Thorough operating experience reviews are important for the identification of corrective actions that prevent the issues from recurring and determining the associated extent of condition and/or generic implications. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 2013-14205. The licensees failure to conduct adequate operating experience reviews for root cause evaluations was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency is more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected it has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, if the licensee does not thoroughly evaluate operating experience to determine whether the same or similar problems have occurred at the Fort Calhoun Station or within the industry, then effective corrective actions to prevent the issues from recurring may not be implemented and an adequate extent of condition and/or generic implications from the issue may not be identified. This finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, Checklist 4, PWR Refueling Operation: RCS level >23 or PWR Shutdown Operation with Time to Boil > 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and Inventory in the Pressurizer, dated May 25, 2004, this finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not require a quantitative risk assessment because adequate mitigating equipment remained available. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the Operating Experience component because the licensee did not use operating experience information, including vendor recommendations and internally generated lessons learned, to support plant safety by implementing and institutionalizing operating experience through changes to station processes, procedures, equipment, and training programs. |
