| Title | Incomplete Evacuation Time Estimate Submittals |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding and an associated non-citied violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) for failing to maintain the effectiveness of the Clinton Power Statio
(CPS) Emergency Plan. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide the station evacuatio time estimates (ETE) to responsible offsite response organizations (OROs) and failed t update their site-specific protective action strategies as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) and Section IV, Paragraph 4 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The licensee entered thi issue in the CAP as IR 01690631 and revised the ETE analysis. The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to submit a complete updated ETE for the CPS by December 22, 2012 was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the ETE is an input into the development of protective action strategies prior to an accident and to the protective action recommendation decision making process during an accident. Inadequate ETEs have the potential to reduce the effectiveness of public protective actions implemented by the OROs. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the emergency preparedness (EP) cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency and is therefore a finding. Using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process (SDP), the finding was screened by the inspectors and determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) based upon the following. The performance deficiency was associated with planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10). Table 5.10-1, Significance Examples 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10), Green Finding column, provides the following examples ETEs and updates to the ETEs were not provided to responsible OROs, and The current public protective action strategies documented in emergency preparedness implementing procedures (EPIPs) are not consistent with the current ETE. The inspectors concluded that the incomplete updated ETE delayed the NRCs approval of the CPS ETE, therefore the ETE was not provided to the site OROs nor was it used to inform the site EPIPs as required by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10), and Section IV, Paragraph 4 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance in the aspect of documentation where the organization creates and maintains complete, accurate and upto-date documentation. Specifically, the EP organization did not develop the CPS ETE a required by the new regulation introduced by the NRCs EP Rule [H.7]. |
