| Title | Failure to Follow Apparent Cause Evaluation Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance for the licensees failure to implement its procedure standards when performing an apparent cause evaluation for a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the inspectors determined that the licensee did not adequately develop the direct and apparent cause of the problem in the evaluation, did not correctly assess the impact of relevant internal and external operating experience, and did not identify appropriate corrective actions to address management behaviors that resulted in the problem. No violation of regulatory requirements was identified because the scope of issues evaluated by the licensees procedure standards for performing the apparent cause evaluation was not limited to safety-related structures, systems, and components. The performance deficiency was of more than minor safety significance because it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected. Specifically, the failure to adequately perform apparent cause evaluations could result in ineffective corrective actions for conditions adverse to quality and safety. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance based on a qualitative evaluation of the potential consequences of the performance issue. The inspectors considered the three examples evaluated in the licensees apparent cause evaluation and found the significance of each performance issue was not greater than very low safety significance. The inspectors concluded this finding affected the cross-cutting aspect of evaluation in the problem identification and resolution area. The licensee did not adequately evaluate the problem to ensure corrective actions would address the causes and extent of conditions commensurate with safety significance. Specifically, the apparent cause evaluation failed to identify and understand the basis for management decisions that contributed to the problem; therefore, corrective actions to address appropriate changes in management behaviors were not developed [IMC 0310, P.2]. |
