| Title | Multiple Examples of a Failure to Follow Procedure For Extension Cord Configuration Control |
| Description | The inspectors identified multiple examples of a finding for the licensees failure to initiate condition reports as required by Administrative Procedure 0.36.7, Electrical Cord Control/GFCI Program, to resolve extension cords which had been in place longer than 90 days. Had the condition reports been initiated, design engineering would have evaluated whether permanent power receptacles were needed to power plant equipment, such as security cameras. The licensee entered this issue in their corrective action program as CR-CNS-2009-08610. The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the licensees failure to initiate condition reports for multiple examples of extension cords being used as a substitute for permanent wiring for greater than 90 days. The finding is more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern, such as electrical shock, equipment damage or fire. Because the plant was shutdown at the time this performance deficiency occurred, the inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process. Using Checklist 7 in Attachment 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Operational Checklists For Both PWRs and BWRs, the inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance because every item on the checklist was met. The finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because the licensees procedure for control of extension cords does not require tracking of extension cord use to ensure that condition reports are initiated for cords in use greater than 90 days H.2(c) |
