Specify in Abstract below or in

Immediate Corrective Actions

An Operations Department Policy was issued which outlines the conditions for RWT operability when aligned to the SFP system.

Additional Corrective Actions

The various options for properly aligning the RWT to the SFP system are being evaluated as part of the apparent cause evaluation being performed under the corrective action program.

Similar Events

This condition was previously documented in the corrective action program.

Prior corrective actions implemented administrative controls including manual operator actions.

However, consistent with Information Notice 2012-01, it has been determined that compensatory measures such as operator actions cannot be used to mitigate RWT operability should a seismic event occur.
