Title | Failure to Adequately Perform Routine Operator Rounds Results in the Creation of Fire Hazards |
Description | The inspectors identified two examples of a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V (Procedures), for the failure to adequately perform routine operator rounds in accordance with station procedures. Plant operators had failed to observe degraded material conditions (oil soaked insulation) and abnormal oil leakage onto the floor below Essential Chiller 22C, and stray material (oil absorbent pads) in between the cylinder heads of the standby Diesel Generators 11 and 13. The inspectors determined that both examples resulted in fire hazards. The licensee implemented corrective actions to remove the fire hazards and entered the concerns into their corrective action program as Condition Reports 08-18903, 08-19296,09-184, and 09-195. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to example 4.f of Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, \"Examples of Minor Issues,\" because both conditions created a fire hazard. The inspectors used NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, to determine that the finding was of very low safety significance because the deficiency resulted in a low degradation rating that minimally impacted the plant combustible material controls program element of the fire prevention and administrative controls category. In addition, the finding had a Problem Identification and Resolution crosscutting aspect (corrective action program component), because operators failed to implement a corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues P.1(a) (Section 1R22) |
