| Title | Failure to Maintain Minimum On-Shift Emergency Response Staffing Levels |
| Description | Green: The NRC identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.47(b)(2) for the licensees failure to maintain the effectiveness of its emergency plan, when on more than one occasion, the number of control room operators fell below minimum staffing, as required by Appendix C of NP-REP Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Nuclear Power Radiological Emergency Plan (E-Plan). The licensees corrective actions included entering the issue into their corrective action program as CR 1233650. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the emergency response organization readiness attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective of ensuring 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. The inspectors assessed the finding in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, and using Table 5.2-1 Significance Examples for 50.47(b)(2), determined that this finding represented an example of a staffing process that would permit a shift to go below E-Plan minimum staffing requirements. The inspectors determined that the licensees process, on more than one occasion, failed to ensure that on-shift staffing met E-Plan minimum staffing requirements between March 20 and May 6, 2016. The cause of the finding was determined to be associated with the cross-cutting aspect of thorough evaluation of problems in the corrective action component of the Problem Identification and Resolution area because the organization failed to periodically analyze information from the corrective action program and other assessments in the aggregate to identify programmatic and common cause issues [P.4]. |
