| Title | Failure to Identify Fire Doors that Did Not Conform to NFPA Codes and Standards |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Braidwood Operating License Condition 2.E, Fire Protection Program, when licensee personnel failed to identify fire doors that did not conform to the current licensing basis standard within the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)-80 Code that required fire doors to automatically shut and latch without assistance. Specifically, station personnel were not adequately performing a daily fire door testing procedure and, as a result, failed to identify a number of fire doors that were not conforming to the standard. As a result, IRs were not generated when degraded conditions existed. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as IR 1629689, Unclear Direction in 0BwOS FP.7.2.D-1. Corrective actions included training plant operators on the expectations regarding generation of IRs for any abnormal condition in the plant, and requiring the use of a copy of the surveillance procedure in the field while completing the daily fire door surveillance. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because it is associated with the Protection Against External Factors 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 (i.e., core damage). Specifically, licensee personnel did not identify a number of fire doors that were not capable of closing and latching without assistance, which impacted the doors ability to perform its design function. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process Worksheet, the inspectors determined that the finding category was Fire Confinement, and that the finding did not impact the ability of the plant to achieve safe shutdown. As a result, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Procedure Adherence component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area because licensee personnel did not follow procedures, processes and work instructions. Specifically, the licensee did not have the fire door testing procedure in hand while performing the surveillance and did not follow the procedure steps (H.8). |
