| Title | Appendix R Fire Door Blocked Open Without Establishing Required Measures |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of very low safety significance of license condition 2.C(3), \"Fire Protection,\" because Entergy personnel blocked a fire door in the open position, defeating its three hour fire barrier function, without establishing the required compensatory measures. Entergy personnel entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as CR-JAF-2010-04825, issued a night order emphasizing the requirements associated with propping open fire doors, provided coaching, and submitted a procedure change request to further clarify procedural applicability requirements. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the protection against external events attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (Le., core damage). Specifically, the fire door being affixed open without the knowledge of the control room personnel and other operators and without an assigned fire watch resulted in a barrier to fire propagation that was less robust than required by the NRC approved fire protection program. The inspectors determined the significance of the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix F, \"Fire Protection Significance Determination Process,\" Phase 1. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the deficiency represented a low degradation rating. Specifically, the individuals involved were members of the fire brigade, qualified in fire watch duties, and only blocked the door open during resin container transfers. The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance within the work practices component because Entergy did not effectively communicate expectations to personnel regarding the applicable procedures and personnel did not follow the procedures (H.4(b)). |
