| Title | Failure to Review Temporary Modifications by Operations Personnel During Turnover |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, regarding the licensees failure to follow the requirements of Procedure 02-S-01-4, Shift Relief and Turnover, Revision 42. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure proper turnover of the status of temporary modifications installed in the plant was being conducted by operations staff during turnover. The inspectors determined that the operations staff was required by Attachment III of that procedure to review the TMs log prior to taking the shift. The inspectors interviewed the operations staff and asked if the TMs were reviewed prior to taking shift that day. The staff member stated he had not and when asked about Attachment III of the turnover procedure, he was not familiar with that attachment of the procedure. The inspectors interviewed additional operations staff members about the review of temporary modification status during turnover, and they also indicated they had not reviewed temporary modification during turnover. As a corrective action, the licensee added copies of Attachment III of the shift turnover procedure to the operations staff turnover book to ensure TMs were reviewed during shift turnover. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action process under Condition Reports CR-GGN-2013-04481 and CR-GGN-2013-05955. The failure to review temporary modifications by operations personnel during turnover in accordance with station procedures was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to more significant safety concerns. Specifically, operators not reviewing the status of TMs installed in the plant during turnover could result in a loss of configuration control of plant equipment that could result in an improper response by operators to plant events. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, the inspectors determined that the issue affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Table 3, the inspectors were directed to NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The inspectors determined that the issue had a very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating system, structure, or component, does not represent a loss of system or function, does not represent a loss of function for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time, and does not represent a loss of function as defined by the licensees Maintenance Rule program for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The inspectors determined the apparent cause of this finding was that licensee personnel were not using Attachment III of the operations turnover procedure. Therefore, the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in human performance area associated with work practices in that the licensee management did not provide proper oversight to ensure a proper turnover was being conducted by operations personnel. |
