| Title | Failure to Have Adequate Procedures for Meteorological Monitoring |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for failure to have adequate procedures for maintaining meteorological monitoring systems functional. The inspectors determined that procedures did not exist for maintaining the functionality or to declare one or more channels of wind instrumentation out of service pursuant to Technical Requirement 3.3.12. Consequently, both channels of the 10 meter wind direction instrumentation were not functional between April and October 2009. The licensee developed additional guidance for determining functionality of the instruments and immediately required the meteorological data to be reviewed on a more frequent basis to ensure validity. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report 00029337. The failure to have procedures to maintain meteorological monitoring functional is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it was associated with the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, the failure to have adequate procedures to maintain meteorological monitoring instrumentation functional has the potential to impair public dose assessments of routine and accidental radioactive effluent releases. Using the Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance because this was not a failure to implement the effluent program, and it had no impact on public dose. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in problem identification and resolution area associated with the corrective action component because the licensee failed to implement a low threshold for completely and accurately identifying issues with the meteorological monitoring instrumentation in a timely manner. |
