Title | Failure to Implement Procedural Requirements for Tracking Control Room Deficiencies (Section 4OA2) |
Description | The NRC identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, regarding the licensees failure to follow procedural requirements for tracking operator work arounds, operator burdens, or control room deficiencies. On January 14, 2009 during a review of control room deficiencies, the inspectors identified that many deficiencies tagged in the control room were not being tracked as required by Conduct of Operations Procedure 2.0.12, Operator Challenges. This failure to maintain the database of current deficiencies in the plant prevents the licensee from accurately monitoring the aggregate impact on the operators ability to operate plant equipment. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-CNS-2009-00527. The finding was greater than minor because it is associated with the mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affects the associated cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because it did not represent the loss of a safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance in that the licensee did not ensure maintenance backlogs were low enough to support safety. Specifically, the licensee did not provide adequate resources for identifying and screening the backlog of control room deficiencies and the resultant aggregate impact to the plant operators ability to operate plant equipment H.2(a) (Section 4OA2) |
