| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The licensee-identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated violation of 10 CFR 50.54 (q)(2) and 10 CFR Part 50.47(b)(14). Title 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2), requires, in part, that a holder of a license under this part, shall follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements of Appendix E, of Part 50, and for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b). Title 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) requires, in part, that Periodic Exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected. Section 8.1.2.c.6 of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Emergency Plan, Revision 30, states, Semiannual Health Physics drills will be conducted which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements in the environment. Contrary to the above, from mid-2013 to the end of 2014, the licensee failed to comply with the established drill and exercise program. Specifically, the health physics drill objectives were only being partially met during this time period. The drill scenarios were limited and did not provide an opportunity for the participants to complete sampling/analysis of liquid samples. As part of the corrective actions after the discovery of this issue, the licensees Emergency Response Staff conducted a drill on December 11, 2014, to ensure that all aspects of the Health Physics drill objectives were met. The performance deficiency was more than minor because the issue was associated with the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the associated 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. Specifically, the drill scenarios were limited in scope and health physics objectives specified in the emergency plan, were not carried out fully during exercises and drills, that were conducted in the middle of 2013 through the end of 2014. The NRC determined that this was a failure to comply with the licensees emergency plan and a degradation of a planning standard function in accordance with 10 CFR, Part 50.47(b)(14), and was a very low safety significance issue (Green) as indicated in Inspection Manuel Chapter 0609, Emergency Preparedness SDP, Appendix B, Attachment 2, Failure to Comply Significance Logic. Because the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) and it was entered into the licensees Corrective Action Program as Condition Report, CR-2014-16715, this violation is being treated as an non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. |
