The inspectors identified a finding when the licensees critique presented to the NRC on October 19, 2006, failed to properly identify a weakness that was associated with a risk significant planning standard. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the
Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the 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 licensees critique did not identify a performance weakness associated with a failure to recognize an emergency action level entry condition. Additionally, the critique failed to adequately identify a weakness that demonstrated a level of performance that could preclude effective implementation of the
Emergency Plan in an actual emergency. This finding potentially has low to moderate safety significance (White) because the licensees exercise critique failed to identify a weakness that is associated with a
RSPS. One
AV has been identified. The
AV is associated with
Emergency Preparedness Planning Standards
10 CFR 50.47(b)(14), and
10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), and the requirements of Section IV.F.2.g of Appendix E to
10 CFR Part 50. (Section 1EP1).
