| Title | Failure to Properly Risk Screen Work Within Two Feet of a Single Point Vulnerability Component |
| Description | A self-revealing Green NCV of Oconee Nuclear Station TS, Section 5.4, Procedures, was identified for the licensees failure to identify and properly risk screen work within 2 feet of a single point vulnerability (SPV) component in accordance with procedure AD-OP-ALL-0201, Protected Equipment. Specifically, the transmission and Oconee organizations failed to recognize that planned maintenance on a breaker in the 525 kilovolt (kV) switchyard was within 2 feet of an SPV component and, as a result, appropriate planning and oversight were not in place to prevent a plant trip during maintenance activities. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as NCR 02138958. Corrective actions included revisions to station and transmission procedures to ensure inclusion of appropriate SPV program information, addition of the SY special emphasis code to all switchyard type work which require coordination of transmission resources, and the addition of the T1 trip/transient risk special emphasis code to all breaker failure relays in the 230 kV and 525 kV switchyard cabinets containing SPV components.The licensees failure to identify and properly risk screen the planned maintenance on PCB-57 as work within 2 feet of an SPV component in accordance with AD-OP-ALL-0201 was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, human errors led to a Unit 3 main generator lockout, which resulted in a reactor trip. The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Attachment 4 and IMC 0609, Appendix A. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent a transient initiator that caused both a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition (i.e. loss of condenser, loss of feedwater). The inspectors utilized IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 4, 2014, and determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of work management in the human performance area, because the organization failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. The work process failed to include the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups or job activities. (H.5) |
