| Title | Failure to Ensure That All License Conditions Are Met for Licensed Operators |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 55.53, Conditions of License, for the failure of the licensee to ensure that licensed operators met all the conditions of their licenses in order to be considered an active watch stander. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that two licensed operators met the complete plant tour requirement specified in 10 CFR 55.53(f)(2) prior to license reactivation and subsequent performance of licensed operator duties. The licensee entered the finding into the corrective action program as Action Request 274726. The failure of the licensee to ensure that all individuals authorized by a license to operate the controls of the facility met the conditions of their licenses as defined in 10 CFR Part 55.53 was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone\'s objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, licensed operators that do not properly complete the requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(f)(2) prior to resuming control room watch standing duties may commit operator errors that could cause mitigating systems to fail to respond properly. Using NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Tables 1 and 2 worksheets, the team was directed to use Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process (SDP), to process the violation. However, the team determined that NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix I, could not be used to process this. Based on direction from regional management to use NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because a prior similar violation\'s significance bounded this finding\'s significance. The prior similar violation occurred at Comanche Peak (NCV 05000445/2011004-02) was determined to have very low safety significance because more than 20 percent of the license reactivation records reviewed contained these deficiencies as processed under the last revision to NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix I. This finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with resources, because the licensee failed to ensure complete, accurate, and up-to-date procedures are available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically, the licensee failed to specify in procedures what plant areas must be included to meet the requirements of a complete plant tour |
