The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (
NCV) of
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, in that the licensee failed to have appropriate qualitative or quantitative measures to ensure that corrective actions specified in department directives and requirements of business practices were actually being accomplished. This contributed to further issues in the Chemistry Department with adherence to procedure requirements. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program. The finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected the finding could become a more significant safety concern and was a factor in subsequent procedure compliance and component mispositioning issues within the Chemistry department. The inspectors determined that the finding was not suitable for
SDP evaluation because the failure to adhere to specified requirements or to have methods to determine adherence did not directly result in degraded or
inoperable equipment. This finding was reviewed by Regional Management and determined to be of very low safety significance. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, because the licensee did not ensure adequate supervisory and management oversight of work activities of the technicians in the field and of personnel providing activities to upgrade procedures and standing orders.
