| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Failure to Maintain Radiation Detector PRM-RE-1C. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.47(b)(8) requires, that adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained. Contrary to the above, between April 2000 and February 2012, the licensee failed to provide and maintain adequate emergency equipment to support an emergency response. Specifically, radiation detector PRM-RE-1C, Reactor Building High Range Exhaust, was not adequately maintained. The Reactor Building High Range Exhaust monitor was unavailable 38 of 149 months and corrective actions were ineffective in restoring the availability and reliability of the monitor. The finding had a credible impact on the emergency preparedness cornerstone objective because it affected the cornerstone attributes of emergency response organization performance (program elements meet the 50.47(b) standards) and facilities and equipment (maintenance surveillance and testing). The finding is more than minor because the licensees ability to implement adequate measures to protect the publics health and safety is degraded when equipment used to assess the consequences of a radiological event is not adequately maintained. This finding was evaluated using the Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process and was determined to be of very low safety significance because the planning standard function was degraded, causing potential delays in the associated key emergency response organization functions of classification and radiological assessment. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action system as Action Request AR00244315, Stack Monitors Non- Functional for Extended Periods, Revision. 2. |
