A Green self-revealing
NCV of
TS 5.4.1.(a) was identified in that the licensee failed to properly enter and implement the appropriate abnormal operating procedure (
AOP) for loss of main
feedwater. The licensee has developed and implemented an operations department rapid improvement plan. This finding was more than minor because it can be reasonably viewed as a precursor to a significant event. Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRCs regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. In accordance with
Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to be of very low risk significance. The cause of this finding is related to the cross-cutting area of human performance, in that
FENOC failed to properly implement appropriate roles and authority for decision making during risk-significant decisions. [H.1.(a)]
