| Title | Failure to Fully Implement Corrective Actions for the Unapproved Storage of Oil in a Safety Related Area |
| Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the licensees failure to fully implement corrective actions to address the unapproved storage of a large quantity of oil in a safety-related area of the auxiliary building in accordance with the approved Fire Protection Plan (FPP). As a result, a drum containing approximately 38 gallons of new hydrocarbon oil was relocated, but not removed from a safety-related area of the auxiliary building, without addressing the FPP requirement for an approved transient combustible evaluation. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as PER 380910 and PER 388926. The remaining oil was removed from the affected room or identified with an approved transient combustible evaluation. The licensees failure to fully implement corrective actions to address the unapproved storage of a large quantity of oil in a safety-related area of the auxiliary building in accordance with the approved FPP is a performance deficiency. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that the finding was more than minor because it affected the Protection Against External Factors attribute (i.e., fire) of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, in that it affected the objective of ensuring availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. Because the finding increased the fire loading due to an increase in the volume of the predominant combustible in the area, the inspectors completed a SDP Phase I analysis that indicated that the finding was not a major degradation of fire prevention or administrative controls. Using the Phase I screening worksheet of IMC 0609, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The cause of the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work practices component. It was directly related to the licensee defining and effectively communicating expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel follow procedures. H.4(b) Specifically, the licensee failed to follow the control of transient combustibles procedure by allowing the unapproved storage of a large quantity of oil in a safety-related area of the auxiliary building.
