Failure to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality as required by
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI. The team identified that the
CAP procedure directed the use of the Cause Analysis Manual in performing some cause evaluations. This cause evaluation process is an activity affecting quality required by
10 CFR 50, Appendix B and the licensees Quality Assurance Program. The licensee failed to control the Cause Analysis Manual in accordance with the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Operations Quality Assurance Program Description, Revision 0, Section 2.6, Document Control. The licensee documented this violation in Condition Report 18-13996. Screening: The performance deficiency is minor because if left uncorrected it would not have led to a more significant safety concern and it did not adversely affect any cornerstone objectives. Enforcement: This failure to comply with
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs
Enforcement Policy.
