| Title | Failure to Identify and Correct Inconsistencies in the Licensing Basis and the EOPs |
| Description | The NRC identified a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the failure to identify that an inconsistency between the procedures and the design basis for suppression pool (SP) cooling was a condition adverse to quality (CAQ), which resulted in corrective actions not being taken in a timely manner. Specifically, in January 2006, a Condition Report (CR) identified an inconsistency between an assumption in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for the design basis accident and the emergency operating procedures (EOPs) regarding the timing for the implementation of SP cooling. At the time of the inspection, the inconsistency had not been resolved because Susquehanna did not recognize that it impacted current plant operations. This performance deficiency has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because Susquehanna did not identify that the inconsistency documented in the CR should have been categorized as a CAQ, commensurate with its safety significance. P.1(a) The performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the Design Control attribute of Mitigating Systems and affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the EOPs provided direction that, under some accident conditions, would affect the availability and/or capability of the SP cooling system to perform its safety function. The finding screened out as having very low safety significance because it was not a design deficiency, did not result in an actual loss of safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.
