| Title | Failure to timely correct Radiation Monitor deficiencies |
| Description | A Green, NRC-identified finding (FIN) was identified in that plans and actions to correct long-standing radiation monitor system instrument deficiencies where not accomplished in a timely manner, in accordance with FENOC CAP procedure NOP-LP2001. Specifically, FENOC failed to correct and return to service radiation monitor instruments for Unit 1 and 2 RSS HX [RM-1RW-100A,B,C,D and 2SWS-RQ100A, B,C,D], in a timely manner, requiring maintenance of alternate monitoring and challenges to assessing radiation detection and assessment during accident situations. This issue was entered into the licensee\'s corrective action program under CR(s) 1191673 and 11-89700. Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC\'s regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The inspectors determined that the finding was not similar to the examples for minor deficiencies contained in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues. The finding is more than minor because it affects the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone. The finding is associated with the attribute of plant equipment and instrumentation (process radiation monitors) attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. In accordance with IMC 0609.04 (Table 3a), Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was evaluated using IMC 0609 Appendix 0, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process and determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a failure to implement the effluent program or cause any public dose to be exceeded. The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Problem, Identification, and resolution, Corrective Action Program, in that FENOC personnel did not take timely corrective actions to develop and implement actions for long-standing radiation monitor deficiencies. |
