| Title | Failure to Ensure that Painting Instructions were Appropriate to Preclude Challenging the Operability of Standby Gas Treatment and Control Room Ventilation Charcoal Filters |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings for the licensees failure to have instructions or procedures that were appropriate to the circumstances for activities affecting quality. Specifically, procedure LAP9001, LaSalle In-Plant Painting, Revision 22, did not contain instructions or limitations to safeguard against the potential overloading of the charcoal absorber beds of the safety-related standby gas treatment (SBGT) system or the control room ventilation/auxiliary electrical equipment room (VC/VE) due to the volatile organic compounds (VOC) present in painting products (e.g., paint, primer, thinner, etc.). The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to limit the quantity or type of paint used within the ventilation boundaries of the safety-related SBGT or VC/VE emergency filtration systems could have caused those systems to be unable to perform their safety function in the presence of uncontrolled quantities of VOC. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix H, Containment Integrity Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Design Margins, because design margins were not carefully guarded with special attention placed on safety-related equipment. Specifically, licensee staff failed to recognize the importance of understanding the VOC loading limitations of the SBGT and VC/VE systems with respect to operability, given the large scale of the painting activities throughout the plant [H.6]. |
