| Title | Failure to Perform Adequate Surveillance on Fire Barriers and Penetration Seals |
| Description | The NRC identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Hatch Operating License Conditions (OLCs) 2.C.(3) and 2.C.(3)(a), for Units 1 and 2 respectively, for the licensee s failure to perform fire barrier penetration seal inspections in accordance with the requirements of Surveillance Requirement 2.1.1.c of Appendix B of the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA). Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that fire-rated penetrations and fire-rated barriers separating redundant safe-shutdown trains were adequate to keep a fire from spreading from one fire area to another. To restore compliance the licensee performed a 100 percent inspection of fire-rated penetrations to verify the material condition of the site s rated fire barrier penetrations. The licensee s failure to perform fire barrier penetration seal inspections was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safety Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors (i.e. fire), and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Based on the finding being of very low probability, the finding was determined to be of very-low safety significance (Green). The cause of the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, field presence, because plant leadership did not reinforce standards and expectations, and did not ensure that deviations from standards and expectations were corrected promptly (H.2). Specifically, licensee oversight was not properly engaged to ensure that surveillances were performed adequately, and that deviations were addressed appropriately. |
