| Title | Failure to Follow a Procedure and Correct Previously Identified Deficiencies with the Operator Workaround Program |
| Description | A Green NRC-identified finding was identified for the failure to adequately implement a procedure and correct previously identified deficiencies with the licensees operator workaround program. This resulted in operator workarounds and challenges not fully or adequately being assessed, untimely resolution and status reporting of operator workarounds. The licensee initiated Condition Report (CR)-1000079 to address this issue. This finding is more than minor because it was similar to examples 3.j. and 3.k. in Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, where significant programmatic deficiencies were identified that could lead to worse errors if left uncorrected. In addition, the finding has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern in the management and correction of operator workarounds that can have an adverse effect on the functional capability of a mitigating system or that can impact human reliability in responding to initiating events. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, this finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the failure to follow procedure and correct previously identified operator workaround program deficiencies, by themselves, did not result in an actual loss of operability or functionality, loss of system safety function, actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification (TS) allowed outage time, actual loss of safety function of one or more non-TS trains of equipment designated as risk-significant per10CFR50.65 for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and was not potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program component because operations department personnel failed to take appropriate corrective actions to address previously identified deficiencies with following the operator workaround program procedure (P.1.d). |
