Oyster Creek - Inspection Results
Oyster Creek Annual Assessment Substantive Cross Cutting Issue Human Performance Common Theme Procedure Adherence Inadequacies Cornerstones Affected Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and Occupational Radiation Safety
Several Green Findings
Procedures controlling test activities
Procedures controlling modification activities
Alignment of plant components
Equipment performance monitoring
Repeat errors involving personnel not responding to alarming electronic dosimetry while working in high radiation areas This substantive cross cutting issue will be inspected through the baseline inspection program.
