| Title | Failure to Conduct Drills In Accordance with the Site Emergency Plan |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) associated with the licensees failure to conduct correctly scoped drills as required by the site emergency plan in 2015 and 2016. Annually, the licensee was required to conduct a radiological monitoring drill involving taking samples on-site and offsite of air, vegetation, soil, and water samples. Semiannually, the licensee was required to conduct health physics drills which involved response to and analysis of simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples. During these years, the licensee failed to evaluate emergency response personnel demonstrating abilities addressing all of these criteria. This violation is not an immediate safety concern because drills were conducted involving the site health physics staff during the time period. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program in Condition Reports 17-15971 and 17-15974. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the emergency response organization performance (drills and exercises) cornerstone attribute and adversely affected the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone objective of being capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The finding was evaluated using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, dated September 22, 2015. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a failure to comply with NRC requirements, was not associated with the risk-significant planning standards, and was not a loss of a planning standard function. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with resources because the licensees procedure defining drill objectives and demonstration criteria did not address the entire scope of the drill types in question [H.1]. |
