| Title | Failure to Maintain Necessary Materials and Procedures for Cold Shutdown Repairs |
| Description | An NRC-identified Green non-cited violation of Sequoyah Operating License Conditions 2.C.(16) and 2.C.(13), for Units 1 and 2 respectively, was identified for the licensee's failure to maintain necessary materials and procedures for cold shutdown repairs, as required by the approved fire protection program. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Reports 845931, 847420, 847428, 847449, and 847462. The licensees failure to provide adequate guidance for all repairs listed in the Appendix R casualty procedure and failure to maintain the required repair parts for the same procedure was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events (fire) to prevent undesirable consequences. Inadequate procedural guidance and the lack of required materials could adversely affect the licensees capability to achieve and maintain cold shutdown conditions. The finding was screened in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, which determined that an IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, review was required as the finding affected fire protection defense-in-depth strategies involving post-fire safe shutdown. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process Worksheet, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) at Task 1.3.1, because it was determined that the reactor was able to reach and maintain a hot safe shutdown condition. The cause of this finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect of Teamwork (H4) in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee failed to assure that individuals and work groups communicated and coordinated their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety was maintained. Specifically, the coordination between operations department procedure writers, maintenance department procedure writers, and fire operations department personnel was inadequate to ensure the adequacy of cold shutdown repair procedures and the availability of required materials. |
