| Title | Cumbustible Storage in Restricted Areas Without Approval |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Unit 2 Operating License Condition 2.C.(3), regarding its fire protection program, when PPL stored transient combustibles in restricted areas without evaluations by the site fire protection group. PPL procedure NDAP- QA-0440, Control of Transient Combustible/Hazardous Materials, Revision 10, section 6.2.4 states that, for restricted areas, transient combustibles or hazardous materials shall not be stored in these areas without specific instructions to do so. It continues that specific approvals for storage in Restricted Areas must be from the Site Fire Protection Group. PPL removed transient combustibles from the restricted areas, established hourly fire watches as appropriate, revised procedures, conducted walkdowns for the extent of the condition, and entered the issues in their CAP. The inspectors evaluated this finding using IMC 0612 Appendix B and determined it to be more than minor based on affecting the Protection against External Factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and its objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events, in this case fire, to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, it was similar to IMC 0612 Appendix E example 4.k in that in all of the observations, transient combustibles were in a combustible free zone required for separation of independent trains and, in one case, the fire loading was not within fire hazard analysis limits. The finding was qualitatively screened in accordance with IMC 0609 Appendix F where the finding was categorized under Fire Prevention and Administrative Controls. The degradation was assigned a Low rating and screened to Green based on the Low degradation rating. The finding was determined to have a cross- cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, for the need to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities such that nuclear safety is supported. Specifically, PPL supervisory and management oversight had not sufficiently coached and reinforced the knowledge of station and procedural standards regarding restricted area requirements. |
