| Title | Failure to Follow Commitment Tracking Procedures |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding because the licensee inadvertently deleted procedural steps to recover an emergency diesel generator during a severe accident. The steps were part of a formal commitment to the NRC. The licensee had failed to follow the site commitment management program when making the procedure change and the procedure writer failed to understand the basis for the steps prior to deleting them. The licensee entered this finding in their corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-WF3-2009-0193 and CR-WF3-2009-1616. The finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it could result in a more significant safety concern. Specifically, during a severe accident, operators would not have an appropriate mitigation strategy for starting an emergency diesel generator under certain severe accident conditions. Using the Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 screening worksheet, the finding was of very low risk significance because the finding: (1) could result in a loss of functionality of an emergency diesel generator; (2) did not represent a loss of safety function; (3) did not represent an actual loss of a single train of equipment for more than its technical specification allowed outage time; (4) did not involve non-technical specification equipment; and (5) did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Decision Making component H.1(a), because the licensee failed to use a systematic process when removing the procedural steps (Section 1R13) |
