| Title | Failure To Classify An Unusual Event |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated non-citied violaiton of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) for the failure to follow the Perry Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan that uses a standard emergency classification and action level scheme. Specifically, on June 7, 2012, Perry personnel failed to classify an Unusual Event for an unexpected increase in plant radiation levels when health physics surveys indicated an increase by a factor of 1000 times over normally expected area radiation levels. On June 14, 2012, the licensee initiated CR 2012-09729 to determine why an Unusual Event was not classified for the June 3, 2012, resin spill, and why there was a failure to classify the unexpected increase in plant radiation levels identified in surveys of the 574\' elevation of the radwaste building on June 7. On November 29, 2012, the licensee initiated CR 2012-18622 to identify and investigate reasons for the Unusual Event requirements. The failure to implement the emergency plan and classify an Unusual Event was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it affected the Emergency Response Organization performance attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure 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 Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, Attachment 1, the finding was determined to have very low safety-significance (Green) because the actual event implementation problem was associated with an Unusual Event. This finding had a cross-cutting in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, for evaluation and extent of condition (P.1c)). Specifically, Perry personnel failed to properly evaluate and classify an Unusual Event for the June 3, 2012, resin spill conditions in CR 2012-09447, dated June 7, 2012, and CR 2012-09729, dated June 14, 2012. |
