| Title | Failure to Adequately Control Loose Debris Near Off-site Power Transformer |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding (FIN) for FENOCs failure to adequately control loose debris as required by FENOC procedures related to switchyard condition. Specifically, the inspectors identified unsecured debris in a large waste receptacle (dumpster) near the 1B System Station Service Transformer (SSST) which provides off-site power. FENOC took immediate corrective action to remove the debris, and performed frequent walkdowns of the switchyard and offsite power sources. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program for resolution as CR 2012-02958. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Additionally, if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the loose material could have affected off-site power during periods of high winds. The inspectors evaluated the finding using Phase 1, Initial Screening and Characterization worksheet Attachment 4 to IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process. The inspectors determined this finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. Therefore, inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience, because FENOC personnel did not institutionalize operating experience based changes to station procedures regarding material storage in switchyard areas |
