| Title | Failure to Control Transient Combustible Materials in the Unit 2 Auxiliary Building |
| Description | The NRC identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.c, Fire Protection Program Implementation, for failing to properly control combustible material in fire risk-significant areas without a continuous fire watch as required by FNP-0-SOP-0.4, Fire Protection Program Administration Procedure and FNP-0-ACP-35.2, Flammable Material and Combustible Material Control. This issue was captured in the licensees corrective action program (CAP) as condition reports (CRs) 669286, 669554 and 686872. The licensee immediately removed the combustible materials from the fire risk significant areas. This violation is applicable to Unit 2. Storing transient combustibles in fire risk significant areas without establishing a continuous roving fire watch was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external factors (fire) attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown and power operations. Also, the finding was similar to example 4.k of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, for identified transient combustibles in a combustible free zone required for separation of redundant trains. The inspectors evaluated this finding using the NRCs SDP and IMC 0609 Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings. Because the finding involved a failure to adequately implement fire prevention and administrative controls for transient combustible materials, an evaluation using IMC 0609 Appendix F, Attachment 1, Fire Protection SDP Worksheet was required. The finding screened to Green because it would not affect the ability to reach and maintain safe shutdown conditions due to the amount of combustibles identified combined with an hourly fire watch previously established in those areas. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of procedural compliance in the work practices component of the human performance area because plant staff failed to comply with written procedures and posted instructions regarding storage of combustible materials in fire risk significant areas. |
