| Title | Failure to Follow Hot Work Permit Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of technical specification 5.4.1.d for the failure of the licensee to follow Procedure 14DP-0FP36, Hot Work Permit. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement all requirements of the hot work permit and let welding slag impinge on combustible materials in containment. The licensee stopped work and corrected the issue after being informed by the inspectors. This finding has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report Disposition Request 4120969. The failure of the licensee to follow Procedure 14DP-0FP36, Hot Work Permit, was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it affected the protection against external events attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors evaluated the significance of the issue under the Significance Determination Process, as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and concluded the finding needed additional screening under IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. The inspectors determined that the condition represented a high degradation of the fire prevention and administrative controls fire protection program element due to the failure to observe all areas of vulnerability to a fire from hot work operation. The finding was determined only to affect the ability to maintain cold shutdown and using Figure F.1, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area human performance associated with the work practices component because the licensee failed to communicate human error prevention techniques, such as self and peer checking. |
