Title | Loss of Plant Effluent Monitoring Capability |
Description | A self-revealing NCV of TS 5.5.4, Radioactive Effluent Controls Program, occurred when the licensee failed to maintain continuous, representative monitoring of the Unit 2 plant vent gaseous effluents as required by the offsite dose calculation manual (ODCM) for approximately ten days, between March 16 and March 26, 2014. The license entered the event in the corrective action program as CR 8284999, and took immediate corrective actions to establish continuous monitoring of the Unit 2 plant vent gaseous effluents. Corrective actions planned, completed, or under evaluation include, changes to the vent sampling procedure, impact assessment on ODCM requirements, departmental stand downs to share lessons learned, work control process changes for equipment tagouts, and training. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the public radiation safety cornerstone attribute of plant facilities, equipment and instrumentation availability and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain. This finding was assessed for significance using IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, issued February 12, 2008, and determined it to be of very low safety significance because the licensee was able to assess the dose to the public by correlating other plant radiation monitoring equipment and programs to demonstrate this dose was less than the values in Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and/or 10 CFR 201301(e). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect of identification in the problem identification and resolution area because the licensee failed to recognize the impact a loss of vacuum indication had on the operability of 2RE12444 (the continuous monitoring equipment) completely, accurately, and in a timely manner [P1]. |
