| Title | Failure to Correct Conditions Adverse to Quality |
| Description | The team identified two examples of a non-cited violation of St. Lucies Unit 1 and Unit 2 Renewed Operating License Conditions 3.E for the licensees failure to promptly correct conditions adverse to quality. The first example involved failure to take prompt corrective action for a noncompliance that was identified during the 2006 triennial fire protection inspection (Inspection Report 05000335, 389/2006010). Specifically, the licensee did not implement corrective actions to perform surveillance tests on the Unit 1 eight-hour battery powered portable emergency lights. The second example identified by the team during the 2009 inspection, involved four eight-hour battery powered fixed emergency lights that failed an annual surveillance test and were not repaired or replaced. The licensee initiated Condition Reports 2009-4010, -4056 and -4220 to implement corrective actions to address these issues. The licensees failure to correct the above conditions adverse to quality involving fire protection, as required, was a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the reactor safety, mitigating systems, cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors (i.e., fire) and it affects the objective of ensuring reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. The team determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the operators had a high likelihood of completing the task using flashlights. This performance deficiency is associated with the cross-cutting area: Human Performance, Work Control: H.3(b). The finding was directly related to the licensee not planning and coordinating work activities to support long-term equipment reliability and their maintenance scheduling was more reactive than preventive. |
