| Title | Failure to Provide Adequate Respiratory Protection Equipment for Emergency Response |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) for the failure to provide adequate respiratory protection equipment for emergency response, compromising the protective actions developed for the plume exposure pathway for emergency workers. Adequate quantities of small sized self-contained breathing apparatus respirator masks were not available in the control room for licensed plant operators that were fit-tested for small sizes. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Action Request 00201679. This finding is greater than minor because it is associated with the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone attribute of response organization performance and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring 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 finding was evaluated using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Sheet 1, Failure to Comply. The issue described was a planning standard problem, was not a risk-significant planning standard problem, and did not involve a planning standard function failure. Therefore, the finding is of very low safety significance. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with resources because the licensee did not have enough small sized selfcontained breathing apparatus respirator masks available in the control room for licensed plant operators that were fit-tested for small sizes H.2(d) |
