| Title | Inadequate and Untimely Actions to Address a Failed Instrument Necessary for Diagnosis of Emergency Conditions |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green), and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for failing to follow and maintain an emergency plan that meets the requirements of emergency planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). Specifically, the licensee failed to take timely corrective actions to restore a degraded room flooded alarm in accordance with station procedures. The alarm was out-of-service from December 21, 2012 until September 23, 2013 without adequate compensatory measures in place. PPLs immediate corrective actions included entering the issue into their CAP as CR 1745962, changing the priority of the work order (WO) and listing it as a priority item on their Daily Leadership Alignment Package. PPL replaced the detector on September 23, 2013. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it was associated with the facilities and equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and affected the objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, the performance deficiency would have resulted in untimely declaration of an Alert OA5 and Notice of Unusual Event (NOUE) OU5. In accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness SDP, the inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not result in the loss or degradation of a risk significant planning standard. Specifically, one Alert and one NOUE EAL initiating condition would have been rendered ineffective such that a flooding event would have been declared in a degraded manner. The finding is related to the cross-cutting area of PI&R, CAP, in that PPL did not take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues in a timely manner. Specifically, when the detector failed on December 21, 2012, adequate compensatory measures were not specified and the WO was not scheduled for completion for 12 months. |
