| Title | Loss of Emergency Planning Sirens |
| Description | The NRC identified a Green NCV associated with emergency preparedness planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5), which requires in part, that the means to provide alert and notification and clear instruction to the populace within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) have been established. Specifically, on April 3, 2014, the licensee unintentionally initiated a complete loss of sirens while responding to a siren system alarm. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as Action Request (AR) #679984. As corrective action, the licensee replaced a failed circuit card and restored functionality of the siren system. The licensees failure to comply with WCP-NGGC-0300, Work Request Initiation, Screening, Prioritization and Classification, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, this failure combined with the circuit card failure caused a complete loss of siren functionality for approximately two hours. This finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected, loss of Alert Notification System function has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern and is associated with the emergency preparedness cornerstone attribute of Facilities and Equipment (Availability of ANS). This ANS unavailability affected 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. Using Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process (Section 5.5) Failure to Comply with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5), the inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the loss of siren function was of short duration and did not reach the Degraded Risk Significant Planning Standard (RSPS) threshold. The finding had a crosscutting aspect of Procedure Adherence, as described in the Human Performance crosscutting area because the EPTs failed to comply with the procedural guidance of WCPNGGC- 0300 (H.8). |
