| Title | Failure to Correct an Inaccurate Classification During a Drill |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation for the licensees failure to correct a deficiency occurring in a drill conducted on December 18, 2013, as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). Specifically, licensee evaluators failed to identify that the shift manager declared a General Emergency during a licensed-operator training proficiency drill when the conditions did not exist. This issue has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-CNS-2014-05286 and CR-CNS-2014-05291. The licensees failure to correct a weakness in performance occurring during a drill was a performance deficiency. A weakness is defined in Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, as being performance, during a drill or exercise, that would have prevented the effective implementation of the emergency plan had the circumstances actually occurred. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the Emergency Response Organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, the declaration of a General Emergency when conditions did not exist for the declaration would have prevented the effective implementation of the site emergency plan. This finding was evaluated using Manual Chapter 0609, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, dated February 24, 2014, and was determined to be of very low - 4 - safety significance because it was a failure to comply with NRC requirements, was not a loss of planning standard function, and was not a degraded planning standard function. The planning standard function was not degraded because the failure to implement corrective actions occurred during a single-facility drill with limited number of evaluators. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem and identification associated with the identification of problems because the licensee failed to identify a performance problem when it occurred. |
