| Title | Failure to Correct Longstanding Software Classification Issues |
| Description | A non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified involving the failure to take timely corrective actions to ensure the proper control and use of software products used in safety related applications. Specifically, the team identified multiple instances of uncontrolled software products in use at the licensees facility following identification of similar deficiencies in 2009 and 2011. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report 2014-09162 and initiated action to strengthen their software control program. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected, it could lead to a more significant safety concern. The NRC performed an initial screening of the finding in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated July 1, 2012, this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because: (1) the finding was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating system; (2) the finding did not represent a loss of system and/or function; (3) the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time; and (4) the finding does not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance in that the licensee failed to provide training and ensure knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce and instill nuclear safety values. Specifically, the apparent cause report for Condition Report 2009-04715 stated that a contributing cause was first and foremost [there is] a lack of knowledge associated with the procedural requirements for software control at FCS. |
