Finding

Title

Licensee-Identified Violation

Description

On September 24, 2013, the licensees Nuclear Assurance Department identified in corrective action audit 2013-008 that the station had not established an effective schedule for completion of corrective actions for systems, structures, and components that had been determined to be degraded or nonconforming. These degraded or nonconforming conditions were conditions adverse to quality. Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI requires that the licensee establish measures to ensure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to this requirement, the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that these conditions adverse to quality were promptly corrected. This violation is of very low safety significance (Green) because the degraded structures, systems, and components remained operable. The licensee entered the condition into its corrective action program, performed an apparent cause evaluation under CRDR 4458511, and initiated corrective actions to restore compliance.
