Finding

Title

Failure to Implement Fire Protection Plan Requirements Related to Hot Work Activities

Description

The inspectors identified three examples of a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.5.1.1.d, for the failure of contractor and station personnel to properly implement the requirements of a station fire protection procedure for control of hot work activities. Specifically, between January 4 and March 17, 2010, three examples were identified where contractor and station personnel failed to properly implement the requirements of procedure SO123-XV-1.41, Control of Ignition Sources, Revision 14, Steps 6.2.1 and 6.4.1.3. Specifically, contractor and station personnel failed to ensure that combustible materials were covered or removed from the ignition source. Following the inspectors identification of each example, the licensee immediately stopped the hot work activities and restored compliance with the requirements of procedure SO123-XV-1.41. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notifications NNs 200729747, 200746059 and 200835830. The finding is greater than minor because if left uncorrected, the practice of conducting hot work in a manner that allows uncontrolled combustibles to be within the procedurally specified exclusion area would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern, in that, it could result in a fire in or near risk important equipment. The finding is associated with the Initiating Events Cornerstone. The inspectors determined that Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, does not address the potential risk significance of shutdown fire protection findings, and Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, does not address fire protection findings, and therefore could not be applied to shutdown plant conditions. Because of this, the inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria. The NRC management review was performed by using the Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Phase 1 Worksheet, to establish a bounding analysis. Using the bounding analysis, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because the finding represented a low degradation rating, in that, it did not have any significant effect on the likelihood that a fire might occur, or that a fire which does occur might not be promptly suppressed. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with work practices, in that, the licensee failed to define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel following procedures
