| Title | Inadequate Assessment of Fire Brigade Performance during an Unannounced Drill |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Unit 2 license condition 2.C.(10), Fire Protection, when PSEG did not adequately assess fire brigade performance during an unannounced drill on November 18, 2013, as required by the fire protection program. Specifically, PSEG did not adequately assess the selection, placement and use of equipment and fire-fighting strategies, conformance with established plant fire-fighting procedures, and the use of fire-fighting equipment, including communication equipment. PSEG entered this into their CAP as notification 20632422 and chartered an apparent cause evaluation. The inspectors determined that the issue was more than minor since it was associated with the protection against external events (fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and impacts its objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems, such as the fire brigade, that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding was determined to be of very low safety Significance (Green) in accordance with D.1 of IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions. Because the finding involved fire brigade training requirements, the fire brigade demonstrated the ability to meet the required times for fire extinguishment for the fire drill scenarios, and the finding did not significantly affect the fire brigades ability to respond to a fire, the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Self and Independent Assessments, in that licensees conduct assessments of their activities to assess performance and identify areas of improvement. Specifically, the PSEG self evaluation of fire brigade performance was not of sufficient depth, appropriately objective, and self critical. |
