The inspectors identified a Green
NCV of
10 CFR50.47(b)(14) for failure to conduct a biennial exercise that was technically accurate and challenging, to the extent that it was not an adequate test of the plans, procedures, equipment, and implementation of the licensees emergency response capabilities. The licensee entered the deficiency into their corrective action program, as Problem Investigation Process (
PIP) M-09-04560, M-09-05183, and M-09-05186, and planned to conduct are-demonstration drill in May 2010.This finding is greater than minor because it is associated with the Emergency Response Organization Performance attribute of the
Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone, in that a biennial exercise that is not technically accurate and challenging is not an adequate test of the plans, procedures, equipment, and implementation of the licensees emergency response capabilities. The finding does not represent an immediate safety concern. This finding was evaluated using the
Emergency Preparedness SDP and determined to be a finding of very low safety significance because there was no loss of planning standard function. The cause of the finding was directly related to the cross-cutting component of work practices in the area of Human Performance, because the licensee did not ensure the supervisory and management oversight of work activities supported nuclear safety
