| Title | Failure to Evaluate Changes to the Approved Fire Protection Program |
| Description | The team identified a Severity Level IV non-cited violation for making changes to the approved fire protection program in a manner contrary to the requirements of License Condition 2.C.(5).(b). Prior to 2005, the licensee made multiple revisions to Procedure OFN RP-017, Control Room Evacuation, without demonstrating the changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. Specifically, the licensee had revised the alternative shutdown procedure to allow some manual actions to be completed in times longer than the approved time commitments. When revising the alternative shutdown procedure, the licensee did not evaluate the changes to ensure they would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Performance Improvement Request 2005-3317. Failure to demonstrate that changes to the approved fire protection program would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire prior to changing the alternative shutdown procedure is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Protection Against External Factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and could affect the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to fire events to prevent undesirable consequences. This finding was assessed using traditional enforcement since it had the potential for impacting the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. Using the guidance in Section D.3 of Supplement I of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation was determined to be a Severity Level IV violation since the licensee implemented corrective actions, provided a technical evaluation for the new alternative shutdown procedure, and performed an evaluation of the changes made in the alternative shutdown procedure. This finding was not assigned a cross-cutting aspect because the procedure changes were made in the 2005 timeframe and do not represent current performance. (Section 4OA5.02 |
