| Title | Licensee Practices Result in Protective Action Recommendations for Areas Where Protective Action Guides are Not Exceeded |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) for the licensees failure to develop and have in place guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency that were consistent with federal guidance. Specifically, the licensees guidelines for extending existing protective action recommendations into additional geographical areas of the emergency planning zone under conditions of changing wind vectors were not consistent with the guidance of EPA-400-R-92-001, AManual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents.@ The licensees practices resulted in unnecessary recommendations for protective actions in areas where valid dose projections show federal protective action guides are not exceeded, and may expose members of the public to unjustified risks. The licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action system as Condition Report CR-WF3-2009-03256. This finding was more than minor because it was not similar to the examples of Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, and affected the emergency preparedness cornerstone objective because unnecessary protective actions may expose members of the public to an unjustified risk. The finding was associated with the emergency response organization attributes of 50.47(b) planning standards and training. This finding was of very low safety significance because it was not a risk significant planning standard functional failure or degraded function because licensee protective action recommendations would be issued in accordance with federal guidance for all areas of the emergency planning zone where Protective Action Guides are exceeded. This finding was evaluated as not having a crosscutting aspect because the finding was not indicative of current licensee performance |
