| Title | Failure to Adequately lmplement Fuel Clad Barrier EALs |
| Description | The NRC identified a non-cited violation (NCV) associated with emergency preparedness planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), and the requirements of Sections lV.B and lV.C of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. Specifically, Dominion did not maintain in effect the Millstone Units 2 and 3 emergency action level (EAL) schemes by not providing operations procedures for obtaining reactor coolant samples once a safety injection signal has occurred. These deficiencies adversely affected the ability of the licensee to properly classify events involving the loss of the fuel clad fission product barrier. The inspection team determined that the failure by Dominion to provide the proper operating procedures for operators to adequately implement their respective unit\\\'s EALs was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within their ability to foresee and prevent. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the emergency response organization (ERO) attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The inspectors evaluated this finding using the Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process (Appendix B to IMC 0609) and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). Appendix B to IMC 0609, Section 5.4, and Table 5.4-1, were used to reach this determination. The inspector determined that this finding involved an example where an EAL has been rendered ineffective such that any Site Area Emergency would not be declared for a particular off-normal event, but because of other EALs, an appropriate declaration could be made in a degraded manner (e.9., delayed). The finding is related to the crosscutting area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, in that Dominion personnel did not take appropriate corrective actions to address a Risk- Significant Planning Standard (RSPS) issue completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance P.1(d). Specifically, Dominion did not place this issue into the corrective action program and take appropriate action until prompted by the NRC team\\\'s findings. |
