| Title | Failure to Establish Adequate Procedures for Severe Weather Operations |
| Description | The team identified a Green, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, which states in part, procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, shall be established, implemented, and maintained for combating emergencies, including tornados. Specifically, prior to September 22, 2015, the licensee failed to establish adequate procedures to ensure loose debris (drift eliminators/grating that had come loose from the cooling towers) was secured. In response to this issue, the licensee inspected the area and prepared a work order to remove all loose drift eliminators. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2015-06891. The team determined that the failure to maintain adequate procedures to ensure compliance with technical specifications and Regulatory Guide 1.33 was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (severe weather). Specifically, the licensee failed to establish adequate procedures to ensure protection of the switchyard against external factors such as the loose drift eliminators on the cooling tower as a potential missile hazard during high wind events. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the team determined that the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) since the systems, structures, and components maintained their operability and functionality. The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, identification, because the licensee failed to implement a corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues. Individuals failed to identify issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner in accordance with the program (P.1). |
