| Title | Inadequate Emergency Preparedness Augmentation Call-In Drills |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for the licensee‟s failure to follow and maintain the Emergency Plan, which meets the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. Specifically, the licensee‟s Emergency Plan calls for the performance of periodic drills to evaluate the ability to augment its Emergency Response Organization (ERO). However, the Emergency Plan implementing procedure used for the conduct of these augmentation drills exempts certain ERO members from participation in these drills, a situation which prevents the licensee from fully demonstrating its ability to augment all the ERO positions in a timely manner. The licensee‟s approved Emergency Plan does not provide for such an exemption. The licensee entered the finding into the corrective action program. The use of an implementing procedure that causes the conduct of an activity to be inconsistent with the associated requirements in the licensee‟s Emergency Plan results in a failure to follow and maintain the Emergency Plan and is a performance deficiency. As a result of the limitations in the procedure, the licensee failed to conduct call-in drills to demonstrate timely augmentation of ERO positions filled by skilled/technical personnel. The deficiency did not impact the NRC‟s regulatory process or contribute to actual safety consequences; therefore, the performance deficiency was screened using the Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process as a failure to comply. The deficiency was determined to be more than minor because the deficiency adversely affected the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone objective and had the attribute associated with ERO readiness in the area of ERO augmentation testing. The inspector evaluated the finding using the IMC 0609, Appendix B, Sheet I, Failure to Comply Flowchart. The inspector evaluated the finding as a degraded planning standard function since the licensee‟s conduct of the augmentation exercises did not include all ERO positions. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance. The inspector determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the problem identification and resolution area with a component in self and independent assessments. The licensee‟s augmentation call-in drills were not comprehensive to include all ERO augmentation staffing positions. (IMC 0310 P.3(a)) |
