A self-revealing finding was identified for
FENOCs failure to properly implement a station procedure. Specifically, work order instructions were not properly followed, as specified in NOP-WM-4006, Conduct of Maintenance, causing
leads to be inadvertently lifted for an alarm to the main control room control board. This
annunciator is used by operators in the Loss of Main
Feedwater Abnormal Operating Procedure. The
leads were reconnected and this issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 10-72654. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to example 2.f in
IMC 0612, Appendix E. 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
IMC 0609.04 (Table 4a), Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance. The cause of this finding relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, in that
FENOC personnel did not follow procedures, resulting in a control room
annunciators leads being inadvertently lifted. [HA.(b)
