| Title | Failure to Train Fire Brigade Members on the Use of Elevators |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of Braidwood Operating License Condition 2.E, Fire Protection Program, when licensee personnel failed to ensure that fire brigade members retained knowledge provided in fire brigade initial training. Specifically, station Fire Chiefs and fire brigade members did not have an adequate knowledge or continuing training on the proper methods and implementation for the use and control of elevators during a fire as demonstrated during a fire drill on June 14, 2012. Corrective actions included ensuring all elevator keys were adequately stored, informing the Fire Chiefs and fire brigade members of the key locations, and initiating a training request to provide the Fire Chiefs and fire brigade members with adequate training covering elevator key usage and elevator control during a fire response. The inspectors determined that the failure to ensure Fire Chiefs and fire brigade members had the knowledge to perform their duties was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the External Factors (Fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the turbine building and auxiliary building elevators could be utilized in the licensees Fire Protection Program to transport fire brigade members and their equipment in response to a fire. Safety-related equipment was in (or adjacent to) these fire zones. Therefore, if elevators were not controlled in the correct manner, the elevator may not be available for fire brigade use or may place personnel in danger by stopping at an undesirable elevation. The inspectors screened the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings. Based on Table 2, the inspectors concluded the issue represented a weakness in the External Event Mitigation Systems (Seismic/Fire/Flood/Severe Weather Protection Degraded) function of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors reviewed the questions in Table 3 of IMC 0609, Attachment 4, and answered No to Questions A-D and Yes to Question E.1, Does the finding involve discrepancies with the fire brigade? As a result, the inspectors transitioned to IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings at Power. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, and answered No to Question B - External Event Mitigation Systems (Seismic/Fire/Flood/Severe Weather Protection Degraded), Does the finding involve the loss or degradation of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event (e.g., seismic snubbers, flooding barriers, tornado doors)? As a result, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee failed to ensure Fire Chiefs and fire brigade members had an adequate knowledge or continuing training on the proper methods and implementation for the use and control of elevators during a fire as demonstrated during a fire drill on June 14, 2012. |
