| Title | |
| Description | A self-revealing Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) was identified for the licensees failure to properly evaluate or consider the impact to emergency response facilities of design change ESR98-00436 which was implemented in 1999. This resulted in the loss of Emergency Response Facility Information System (ERFIS), Emergency Response Data System (ERDS), Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), and all displays including radiation monitors for the emergency response facilities. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that adequate emergency response facilities and equipment were available as required by the Brunswick Nuclear Plant Radiological Emergency Plan, Section 1.3.1.3 revision 80 and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8). This issue was captured in the licensees CAP as AR 542704542704 The licensees failure to properly evaluate or consider the impact to emergency response facilities of design change ESR98-00436 which was implemented in 1999 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the licensee introduced a single point failure mode which did not meet the design requirements specified in their Design Basis Document (DBD 60) sections 3.6.7.2 and 3.6.7.3. This resulted in the licensees failure to ensure that adequate emergency response facilities and equipment were available as delineated in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 7.7.1.9, and required by the Brunswick Nuclear Plant Radiological Emergency Plan, Section 1.3.1.3, revision 80, and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8). The finding was more than minor because it adversely affected the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone objective of ensuring that the licensee was capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, the Facilities and Equipment attribute was affected during the time when the ERFIS, ERDS, SPDS, and all displays including radiation monitors for the emergency response facilities were degraded, and as a result did not meet 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) Planning Standard program element, adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained. The finding was assessed for significance in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Appendix B Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process. Attachment 2 of Appendix B, Failure to Comply Significance Logic is as follows: Failure to comply; Loss of Risk Significant Planning Standard Function (RSPS), No; RSPS Degraded Function, No; Loss of Planning Standard Function, No; the result is a Green finding. The inspectors determined that this resulted in a very low safety significance finding (Green). No cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding because the performance deficiency occurred more than three years ago and is not reflective of current plant performance. |
