| Title | Failure to Retain Scenario-Based Testing Documentation |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 55.46, "Simulation Facilities," for the failure of the licensee to retain the results of required performance tests for four years after completion, or until superseded by updated test results. The licensee could not locate scenario-based testing documentation conducted for the March 2014 initial license exam. The licensee asserted in writing that the testing was performed, but that the electronic test packages had been lost. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR-RBS-2014-04595. The failure of the licensee's training staff to retain the results of scenario-based testing for four years or until superseded was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it meets the more-than-minor example of Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, Example 1.b, which states that a record keeping issue is "Not minor if: Required records were irretrievably lost." This is associated with the human performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, because of the lack of documentation the licensee was unable to demonstrate that its scenario-based testing would ensure the simulator is capable of producing the expected reference unit response without significant performance discrepancies, or deviation from an approved scenario sequence, for scenarios used to evaluate licensed operators and applicants. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 worksheets, and the corresponding Appendix I, "Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process" (block 14), the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because it is a "Simulator Testing, Maintenance, or Modification Deficiency." This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the procedure adherence component of the human performance cross-cutting area because the licensee failed to ensure that individuals follow processes, procedures, and work instructions [H.8]. |
