| Title | Failure to Follow Scaffold Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, because PSEG did not properly implement procedural controls for scaffolds located in safety-related areas. Specifically, scaffolding had been installed in contact with or in close vicinity of several safety-related components in multiple systems without engineering review and approval, contrary to station procedures. PSEG\'s corrective actions included entering the issue into the corrective action program and removing or modifying the deficient scaffolding. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, Example 4a, which states that scaffold clearance issues would be more than minor if the licensee routinely failed to perform engineering evaluations for these issues. In this case, the inspectors identified several non-compliances with scaffold clearance requirements for safety-related components, and PSEG had not performed engineering evaluations for these issues. The inspectors performed a Phase I Significance Determination Process (SOP) screening of the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Table 4a, Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The inspectors determined the issue was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not result in an actual loss of safety function, and was not potentially risk significant for external events. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, because PSEG did not define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedure compliance, and PSEG personnel did not follow procedures. Specifically, maintenance personnel did not follow procedure requirements for scaffolds located in close proximity to safety-related equipment. |
