| Title | Failure to Critique an Incorrect PAR Notification |
| Description | An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2),Emergency Plans was identified when Susquehanna failed to identify that an incorrect notification of wind direction was made to the senior state official (SSO) during a full-scale drill. This failure was entered into the CAP as CRs 2016-14303 and 2016-14128, ERO personnel involved in the incorrect communication and the drill controllers that failed to identify the deficiency were remediated, and lessons learned communicated to other emergency response organization personnel. The finding was more than minor because it is associated with the emergency response organization (ERO) Performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone 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 failure of Susquehanna personnel to effectively identify an exercise weakness associated with a risk significant planning standard (RSPS) caused a missed opportunity to identify and correct a drill-related performance deficiency. The inspectors assessed the issue using the Emergency Preparedness SDP, Appendix B to IMC 0609, dated September 23, 2014. Susquehanna's failure to critique the inaccurate notification met the NRC's definition of a weakness in a full-scale drill. However, because four previous notifications had accurately reported the wind direction and the miscommunication was inconsistent with the correct protective actions recommendation (PAR) that was communicated simultaneously, in consultation with a senior emergency preparedness inspector, inspectors determined the communication would likely have been corrected prior to the offsite response organizations (OROs) acting on the incorrect information, did not result in an incorrect PAR, and therefore determined that that the failure to critique the drill weakness only constituted a degradation of the planning standard (PS) function. Therefore the finding is characterized as having very low safety significance (Green). The finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Identification, in that Susquehanna did not identify a RSPS issue completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance. Specifically, during the full-scale drill, Susquehanna failed to recognize and critique that a RSPS was not met and did not place this issue into the CAP until prompted by inspectors. |
