| Title | Failure to Assess and Manage the Risk of Heavy Equipment Operations |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.65.a(4) for the licensees failure to assess and manage the risk of planned maintenance activities. Specifically, the licensee failed to include planned heavy equipment operations in the vicinity of the startup transformer transmission lines in their risk assessment on November 26, 2008. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-CNS-2008-08987. This finding is more than minor because the licensees risk assessment failed to consider maintenance activities that could increase the likelihood of initiating events. The inspectors determined that Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process, could not be used due to the licensees inability to quantify the increase in risk associated with the heavy equipment activity. The inspectors utilized Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria, to determine that the finding was of very low safety significance because the other qualified source of offsite power (the emergency transformer) was unaffected by this performance deficiency and provided sufficient remaining defense in depth in the event of a loss of offsite power. The cause of this finding is related to the human performance crosscutting component of resources because procedures for control of switchyard and transformer yard activities failed to include precautions for heavy equipment operations in the immediate vicinity of the transmission lines in the protected area |
