| Title | Failure to Take Timely and Effective Corrective Action for Fish Influx and Blockage of Circulating Water Intake Structure Leads to Unit 1 Reactor Down Power |
| Description | The inspectors documented a self-revealing finding for the licensees failure to implement timely corrective action for industry operating experience associated with intake water blockage and for failure to implement effective corrective action stemming from a very similar event in 2006 where Unit 1 was forced to decrease reactor power due to an unexpected Shad run. The licensee entered this into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-ANO-1-2009-1880. The licensees failure to take timely and effective corrective actions in response to industry and site specific operating experience was determined to be a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the external events attribute and directly affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and is therefore a finding. Specifically, the licensees failure to take timely and effective action led to the October 12, 2009, Unit 1 reactor down power due to a Shad (fish) influx into the intake structure. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheets, Initiating Events Cornerstone, the finding was determined to have a very low safety significance because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. The finding did not have a crosscutting aspect because the cause of the performance deficiency was not associated with any of the crosscutting aspects listed in Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, dated August 11, 200 |
