Title | Inaccurate Tone Alert Radios Addresses |
Description | An AV of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) was identified for a failure to maintain the means to provide alert and notification and clear instruction to all of the population within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ). Specifically, in February 2008 the licensee determined that they had not provided tone alert radios (TARs) to approximately 171 addresses requiring radios, and failed to ensure the State of Georgia had established the capability for compensatory alerting measures. The licensees failure to maintain the public alert and notification system to meet the design requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Alert and Notification system (ANS) design report and supporting FEMA approval letter resulted in a degradation of a risk significant planning standard. The licensees failure to provide the means for notification and instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway EPZ in the event of a radiological emergency as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) is a performance deficiency. The licensees failure to remain in compliance with the FEMA approved ANS design report and supporting FEMA approval letter contributed to the performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the emergency preparedness cornerstone attribute of facilities and equipment, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring 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 significance of this finding was determined using Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process (sheet 1) Failure To Comply. The NRC preliminarily determined this finding to have low to moderate safety significance (White) in that it resulted in the degradation of a Risk Significant Planning Standard (RSPS) function (10 CFR 50.47(b)(5)). This finding had a cross cutting aspect of Human Performance because the licensee did not adequately ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including the electrical utilities providing connect and disconnect information regarding addresses within the emergency planning zone, such that nuclear safety was supported (H.4.c). |
