| Title | Failure to Maintain Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Components |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(4)(vii) for the licensees failure to implement and maintain procedures for its Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) Ultralite Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) respirators. The SCBA respirators, in question, were among the population of SCBA units available for use but were not within the overhaul frequency specified by the manufacturer; nor was the overhaul frequency addressed by the licensees procedure. Immediate corrective actions included the removal from service of those respirators for which the required maintenance was not complete. This has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as CARD 1523510, CLO - Overdue Rebuild Requirement on Spare Regulators, dated May 19, 2015. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, the inspectors determined the performance deficiency was of more than minor significance because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the adequate protection of the workers health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the failure to maintain a program or process that drives the performance of required periodic maintenance could have resulted in the SCBA not performing its intended function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding had a very low safety significance (Green) because the finding: (1) did not involve as-low-as-is-reasonably-achievable planning and controls; (2) did not involve a radiological overexposure; (3) there was not a substantial potential for an overexposure; and (4) there was no compromised ability to assess dose. These SCBAs are scheduled for near term replacement with a newer model. The inspectors reviewed the implementation for the new model and determined that an adequate maintenance program has been established. No cross-cutting aspect was assigned because the performance deficiency was not reflective of current performance. |
