[1] Administrative Corrective Action - A Corrective Action (CA) issued to facilitate moving the CR response and CA plan through the processes identified in LI-102. These actions typically have no direct impact on actions necessary to correct the identified condition, rather they document administrative steps involved in the process (i.e., an action issued by CA&A to direct closure review of a CR, an action issued to re-evaluate closure of a CR based upon issues identified by a CA&A closure review, etc.).
[2] Adverse Condition - An event, defect, characteristic, state or activity that prohibits or detracts from safe, efficient nuclear plant operation or a condition that could credibly impact nuclear safety, personnel safety, plant reliability or non-compliance with federal, state, or local regulations. Adverse conditions include non-conformances, conditions adverse to quality and plant reliability concerns. Examples of adverse conditions are contained in Attachment 9.2. [P3098]
[3] Adverse Trend - A grouping of non-significant adverse conditions by commonality such as cause, equipment, or activity, occurring at an unacceptable rate which provides indication of the possibility or likelihood of a more significant event. The Adverse Trend classification is determined by the CRG. Adverse trends are a prediction tool used to address issues while still considered non-significant in nature prior to the escalation to a significant event.
[4] Apparent Cause - A likely cause for a condition that is determined by less rigorous means of evaluation than a root cause.
[5] ASME Section XI Boundary - For purposes of this procedure, this includes those portions of systems, components, and their supports required to be classified for ISI purposes as ASME Class 1 (Quality Group A), ASME Class 2 (Quality Group B), ASME Class 3 (Quality Group C), ASME NE (Metal Containment), and ASME Class CC (Concrete Containment).
Quality group classifications are in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.26.

[12] Contributing Cause - An identified cause that if corrected would not by itself have prevented the event. This type of cause may have facilitated the events occurrence, increased its severity, or lengthened the time to discovery..
[13] Corrective Action - Corrective Actions (CAs) include actions intended to preclude repetition of significant conditions (see CAPRs) and those intended to correct adverse conditions.
[14] Corrective Actions to Preclude Repetition (CAPRs) - A type of Corrective Action (CA) intended to correct the root cause(s) of a condition and thereby preclude repetition.
[15] Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) - A group, consisting of a cross section of personnel familiar with a particular Condition Report, assembled for the purpose of review and approval of root cause evaluations and corrective action plans.

If an employee is not satisfied with classification of a CR or if the actions are inadequate to alleviate their concern, the employee may choose to utilize Entergys Open Door Policy and discuss the concern with higher levels of management. Employees may also choose to report their concern through the Employee Concerns Program (ECP). While the Corrective Action Process is the preferred method of reporting problems, the ECP may be utilized at any time. Neither this nor any other company policy alters an individuals right to address their concerns directly to the NRC per 10CFR19 Identifying problems within the CA Program is a Protected Activity as defined in EN-EC-100, Guidelines for Implementation of the Employee Concerns Program. [CR-PLP-2007-1243]
(e) Employees are required to initiate CRs for adverse conditions, and are encouraged to write CRs whenever conditions warrant.
(1) If there is any doubt about the decision to initiate a condition report, then employees are encouraged to discuss the condition with appropriate management.
(2) If doubt remains, employees should initiate the CR.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 16 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.2[1] cont (f) Any individual, including corporate, shared resource, or contracted personnel, who discovers an Adverse Condition, is expected to ensure the following actions are taken.
[P5110], [P23978]
(1) Immediate actions are taken as necessary to minimize the consequence of the condition. Expected actions are commensurate with level of training, knowledge and expertise (e.g., extinguishing a fire, eliminating a safety hazard or correcting an adverse radiological condition).
(2) Appropriate site personnel are notified of the identified condition. If immediate action should be taken by Operations to ensure the safety of the plant or personnel, contact the Shift Manager/designee. The following information should be provided:
- Originators name, telephone number, and supervisor,
- Brief description of the condition,
- Equipment identification and location, and
- Immediate corrective action taken, if any.
(3) The condition is promptly documented on a Condition Report.
(g) Non-conforming items are properly controlled to prevent their inadvertent test, installation, or use. When items are controlled by tagging, the tag is equivalent or similar to Attachment 9.7. [QAPM A.6.d S1], [QAPM Table 1.c.22], [QAPM B.13.b], [ANSI N18.7 5.2.14], [ANSI N45.2.4 2.6 S1 S2]
(1) Uninstalled quality-related nonconforming items outside of warehouse control (i.e., cannibalized components, items removed from the plant and found to be nonconforming or awaiting evaluation or refurbishment, warehouse items known to be nonconforming and conditionally released, etc.) shall be tagged where feasible. Segregation of the items should also be considered and may be an alternative when tagging is not feasible.
- a. The organization responsible for the nonconforming items shall ensure they are documented on a CR [P22362]. The responsible organization shall also ensure the nonconforming items are tagged.
- b. Nonconforming items shall be documented on a condition report and tagged/segregated until the item has been accepted through evaluation, rework, repair, or scrap. Tagging/segregation shall stay in place until disposition activity has been completed (2) Nonconforming items within warehouse control are addressed in EN-MP-120.

(h) All Safeguard conditions will be identified as a Safeguard condition report. The condition description should clearly identify the CR as being a Safeguards CR. The condition description shall contain as much information as possible to ensure proper prioritization within the corrective action program by the CRG without providing any safeguards information subject to the following: [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]
(1) Where additional (safeguards) information is required to describe the condition, the additional information shall be contained in a uniquely identified safeguards document (2) The Condition Report shall reference the uniquely identified safeguards document and the uniquely identified safeguards document shall reference the Condition report. It shall be the responsibility of the Security Department to ensure this cross reference is made.
(3) The uniquely identified safeguards document shall be maintained in a safeguards file in accordance with Safeguards requirements. The Security Department (Security Manager and Safeguards Custodian) shall be responsible for maintaining this safeguards file and for developing and maintaining procedures to control this file.
(4) The safeguards file shall be auditable and must meet retention requirements equivalent to those of the Corrective Action Process at the individual site.
[2] Preparation (a) When initiating a CR, with potential operability/functionality or reportability issues, promptly contact the Shift Manager/designee to inform Operations of the condition.
[COMM-93-04786], [P22829]
(1) Direct notification of Operations personnel (via phone or face-to-face) is important to ensure details of the condition are sufficient and understood for the operability/functionality/immediate reportability determination. This notification is not performed using voicemail or e-mail because timeliness cannot be assured.
(b) Determine the applicable Site:
(1) A Site CR should be initiated for the Site impacted by the Adverse Condition.
(2) Consider initiating as a Headquarters (HQN) CR instead of a Site CR if there is no Site impact, an Operability or Reportability Review is not required, AND if the Adverse Condition is related to a corporate program or fleet procedure.
(3) Where both steps (1) and (2) apply initiation of both a Site CR and a HQN CR may be indicated.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 18 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.2 [2] cont (c) Prepare the Condition Report using the PCRS application through normal user log on or PCRS EZ login.
(d) In the unlikely event of a PCRS system outage, follow the instructions provided in Attachment 9.3 (Manual CR Initiation).
(e) The condition description and any supporting documentation should be in sufficient detail to provide a clear understanding of the condition. This information is used to perform operability/functionality/immediate reportability and reportability determinations.
It is expected that the condition description identify any outside agency that identified the condition, when applicable. [P23978]
(1) The condition description field should provide a brief, factual statement of what the deficiency, issue, or problem is and its impact to reliability and safety, and any additional information needed to provide complete and accurate identification of the problem. The additional information should include a summary of the facts with statements detailing what happened, when and where it happened, and if known, why the event occurred.
(f) The date and time of the occurrence are included in the Condition Description, if pertinent.
(g) Attach electronic copies of any documents needed to understand or clarify the condition (i.e., computer printouts, operating logs, survey records, etc.) in MS Word or PDF format. [P22829] [P23977]
(h) Save the Condition Report in PCRS using the Init CR button. It is then automatically routed to the appropriate departments (Operations, Licensing, and CA&A) for operability/functionality, reportability, and processing as applicable.
(i) For equipment related CRs, ensure applicable equipment information is filled out in the "Equipment" tab of the CR in PCRS after CR initiation.
(j) Information regarding subsequent CR category classification, assignment, status, and proposed corrective actions is readily available in PCRS. CR initiators can review PCRS to maintain awareness of the status of CRs they have initiated.

5.3 OPERABILITY, FUNCTIONALITY, AND IMMEDIATE REPORTABILITY [NL-98-066-C024],
[ER20031761_02], [ANSI N18.7 Section 5.2.6 S20], [10 CFR 50.72(b)],, [10 CFR 73.71(a)(1) (b)(1) S1], [ANSI N18.7, Section 4.1]
[1] For Entergy Nuclear: [ER970230]
(a) When a CR is initiated, the CR initiator is tasked with screening the condition to determine if a potential operability/functionality and/or immediate reportability concern exists. The CR initiation screen has a checklist to assist in the screening. If a CR is checked as Potential Operability - Yes, the CR is automatically routed to the site Operations Department for Operability/Functionality Determination and Immediate Reportability screening. If a CR initiator is unsure if a condition involves a Potential Operability/Functionality and/or Immediate Reportability concern, the Potential Operability button should be checked as Yes.
(b) Those CRs flagged as Potential Operability - No by the CR initiator are reviewed by the CRG to verify that Operability Determination is not required. If the CRG determines that Operability/Functionality Determination is required, Operations is notified to perform the operability/functionality.
(c) Operability/ Functionality and Immediate Reportability reviews for CRs requiring review are performed in accordance with NMM EN-OP-104. The results of the reviews are entered into PCRS on the Operability/ Functionality screen. [Gentletr9118R1], [NL-98-066-C024], [INS9620004]
[2] For Corporate:
(a) If a CR, initiated at Headquarters locations, is screened as having a Potential Operability/Functionality and/or Immediate Reportability concern, a CR is written at the affected site(s) so that an Operability/Functionality Determination can be performed.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 20 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.4 REPORTABILITY [10 CFR 50.72(b)], [10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)], [10 CFR 73.71(a)(1) (b)(1) S1], [ANSI N18.7, Section 4.1], [10 CFR 21, 21 A and C]
[1] When a CR is initiated where the PCRS Reportability Bypass feature is enabled, the CR initiator is tasked with screening the condition to determine if a condition is potentially reportable. The CR initiation screen has a checklist to assist in the screening. If a CR is checked as "Potential Reportability Yes", the CR is automatically routed to the site Licensing Department for a reportability review. If a CR initiator is unsure if a condition involves a Potential Reportability concern, the "Potential Reportability" button should be checked as "Yes"."
[2] The designated personnel for completing the reportability review will enter the appropriate information in PCRS within 5 working days of CR initiation.
[3] Those CRs flagged as "Potential Reportability No" by the CR initiator are reviewed by the site Licensing Department in a timely manner to verify that a reportability review is not required. This may be performed by a Licensing Department representative during a CRG meeting where newly initiated CRs are reviewed. If the Licensing Department determines that reportability review is required, Licensing will perform the reportability review and enter the appropriate information in PCRS.
[4] Reportability Reviews are performed in accordance with EN-LI-108, Event Notification and Reportability.
5.5 SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION PROCESS (SDP) [Gentletr9118R1], [INS9620004]
[1] The Plant Licensing Group (or other group as assigned by plant management) reviews CRs to determine if a Significance Determination Process (SDP) review should be done to characterize the risk significance of the issue relative to the Reactor Oversight Program strategic areas (Reactor Safety, Public Radiation Safety, Occupational Radiation Safety, Physical Protection, Emergency Preparedness). The criteria used for this selection are:
- CRs associated with NRC Findings which have been classified as potentially being more significant than green
- CRs for which CRG has requested Risk Significance Determination
- Other CRs as Plant Licensing deems necessary
[2] CAs are assigned in PCRS to the responsible groups to complete the SDP. If further review of the condition or event necessitates additional responsibilities to complete the SDP for all affected SDP cornerstones, additional CAs are assigned in PCRS.
[3] SDP screening is performed and the results are entered into PCRS.
[4] SDP results are made available to the CRG.

[7] The CRG reviews newly initiated CRs and determines/confirms the appropriate category assignments as identified in Attachment 9.1. [P5431]
[8] The CRG determines Responsible Manager assignments. Changes to the Responsible Manager assignment can be made without CRG approval as long as the previous Owner and new Owner both agree on the assignment change.
[9] The CRG assigns due dates for disposition and corrective action determination based on the CR category (see Attachment 9.4). The CRG may assign different due dates based on their deliberations.
[10] CRG members are encouraged to provide feedback to CR initiators from their respective technical disciplines regarding CR status, ownership, and proposed corrective actions.
[11] Feedback on Category D closed CRs is provided to the initiating employee and their supervisor, when names are entered as recorded in PCRS, via the automatic e-mail extracted from PCRS. The email includes the closure description, closure date and individual performing the CR closure in PCRS. This informs the employee and supervisor that the CR has been closed so that if desired the originator/supervisor can review closure and if necessary request reconsideration based on new information or insight by initiation of a new CR.
[12] If additional information becomes available during CR processing then the CR may be presented to the CRG for re-categorization. All changes in significance or category are approved by the CRG. If the CR is re-categorized, then a new due date may be assigned based on significance of the condition.
[13] The CRG assigns any immediate or interim actions that may be required to minimize the consequences of a condition and/or to determine extent of a condition.
[14] In order to ensure appropriate oversight and independence, the Quality Assurance (QA) organization has the right to determine if a QA identified condition is a Condition Adverse to Quality or a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality. In cases where the CRG does not concur that a QA identified condition is a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality, the Director, Oversight has authority to overrule the CRG.
[15] The CRG determines if new CRs meet the criteria for application of Attachment 9.5 Entergy Fleet Learning Review Process.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 23 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.7 CORRECTIVE ACTION REVIEW BOARD (CARB)

(a) Personnel involved with the investigation and disposition of CRs are responsible for:
[Gentletr9118R1], [INS9620004]
- Informing the Shift Manager/designee immediately if a SSC previously evaluated as operable may be inoperable as determined from new information from the disposition investigation.
- Informing the Shift Manager and Licensing Manager immediately if a condition previously thought to be not reportable is in fact reportable as determined from new information from the disposition investigation.
- Initiating a new CR if new information or insight makes the current Operability and/or Reportability questionable or if a previous CRs identified cause is found to be incorrect.
- Contacting CA&A if the condition or event should be reevaluated by the CRG (b) If at any time after a CR has been initiated and screened, information becomes available that may change previous conclusions regarding present or past operability, notify the shift manager immediately and initiate a new condition report.
(c) If a CR that had Potential Operability checked as No is later determined to need an Operability/Functionality Determination, the Shift Manager (SM) / designee and CA&A should be informed immediately. The SM/designee can perform an Operability/Functionality Determination even though it was originally indicated as not required.
(d) If a CR that had Potential Reportability checked as No is later determined to need a Reportability Review, the Licensing Manager / designee and CA&A should be informed immediately. The Licensing Manager /designee can perform a Reportability Review even though it was originally indicated as not required.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 25 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.8[1] cont (e) During the course of investigations or completion of corrective actions for open condition reports, a new condition report shall be initiated:
(1) If additional issues beyond the scope of the initial problem description are identified during the problem evaluation of an event, an additional CR shall be initiated for these new issues.
(2) If additional issues beyond the scope of the initial problem description are identified during the initiation of a proposed correction action or the completion of an actual corrective action of an event, an additional CR shall be initiated for these new issues.
(3) A separate CR may be required for the following even if an initial CR was written to perform the maintenance when:
- a. Unexpected condition (signs of overheating, damage from overstress, etc.) are identified during maintenance on safety-related SSCs; non safety-related SSCs ranked as High Critical components
- b. An abnormal or unexpected condition on an SSC that needs further evaluation (e.g., deviations (trends) in operating parameters from normal)
(f) For Safeguards CRs, the assigned Department shall be responsible for performing or overseeing the required Condition Report response to meet the requirements of the Corrective Action Program. Note that this may or may not be the Security Department (i.e., Modifications, Licensing, Engineering, etc.) This would include: [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]

(1) If an assignee or reviewer recognizes that a change in the intent of a Corrective Action plan is necessary, the change should be coordinated with the Responsible Manager (and CARB Chairperson, if CARB is applicable) and documented. Changes to Corrective Action plan due dates are controlled through the normal extension process described in this procedure. However, Due Date Extension Requests must be reviewed and approved/disapproved by the CARB chairperson for CAPRs that were generated as part of a CARB approved corrective action plan.
(2) For material related CRs, non-conforming items are reviewed for the need to classify as use-as-is, reject, repair, or rework. Items that are classified as use-as-is or repair are required to have a formal engineering evaluation with technical justification, augmented inspection and/or test requirements, and design reviews as appropriate. [QAPM B.13.b], [ANSI N18.7 5.2.14], [ANSI N45.2.4 2.6 S1 S2]
(3) Suitability Evaluations are performed for the rework of items within the ASME Section XI boundary.
(h) Effectiveness Reviews are conducted per the guidance of EN-LI-118. An Effectiveness Review that reaches a conclusion that Corrective Actions / CAPRs were ineffective should result in the initiation of a new CR to determine the need to revise the cause determination, corrective action plan, effectiveness review plan and the need for additional CARB reviews. Also, consider an additional CR to explore the potential Corrective Action Program failure.

This monitoring is to ensure timely correction of the originally identified condition.
(1) Periodically, typically at least monthly, P&S/O will report to the CRG the status of WOs with CRs/CAs closed to them. The focus of this report should be the monitoring for timely resolution of those WOs per EN WM-100. The CRG may require additional details for any WOs not completed in a timely manner.
(2) If the work originally scheduled to correct the condition is transferred to another WO, P&S/O will ensure the CR reference is added to the new WO.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 31 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.8 [6] (d) cont.
(3) Before a WO which had a CR or CA closed to it can be canceled or closed with no work to be performed, the organization requesting cancellation will present the CR and WO to the CRG for discussion. If necessary, another CR may be generated to track the issue. CRG approval is not required for canceling a WO if the work is to be performed under another WO and both WOs contain the appropriate reference to the CR.
5.9 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS [ANSI N45.2.12, Section 4.5.1 S1-S5 (QAPM Table 1N.10)]
[1] General Instructions (a) Corrective Actions are assigned a CA type code (including CAPR) in PCRS.
(b) Each corrective action should specify whether or not it is tracked as an operational constraint and which unit or Outage is affected.
(c) Any Operable-DNC or Operable-Comp Measures conditions not resolved prior to the completion of the next outage of sufficient duration shall be evaluated for continued operability into the next cycle of operation. This evaluation is reviewed and approved by the Onsite Safety Review Committee (OSRC) prior to startup from the outage.
[Gentletr9118R1], [INS9620004]
(d) For CAPRs that are credited as being implemented by procedure actions or requirements the applicable steps in the associated procedure should be annotated or flagged as commitments in accordance with EN-AD-101 and applicable site procedures.
(e) Long Term Corrective Action (LTCA) designation is approved by GMPO/Director or Site VP.
(1) Once approved, the CR/CA is appropriately flagged as long term.
(2) CAs are eligible for LTCA designation if they cannot meet the timeframes established/approved in accordance with the Corrective Action Processing Guidelines (Attachment 9.4) AND if they meet any of the following criteria:
- a. Includes work requiring a plant refueling outage, plant forced outage or planned long system/train/component outage to complete. This includes CAs, such as training or meetings, which cannot be completed until pre-outage staffing is complete.
- b. Requires development of a modification and/or modification of an approved modification/design change.
- c. Requires training that will take multiple requalification or training cycles to complete.
- d. Includes initiatives dependent upon a Licensing submittal which requires NRC (or other state or governmental regulatory organization) response/approval.

(3) Attachment 9.9 is provided to facilitate the LTCA review and approval process. It can be used if desired. The expectation is to capture the discussion points of that form in a CA, DDE request or initial CA assignment as appropriate. The form itself need not be used, but all points applicable must be addressed and the guidance of 5.9[1] (d), (e), & (f) must be followed.
(4) The specific restriction preventing the timely completion of the item, resulting in the need to use the Long Term CA classification, must be documented in the CA. Long Term CA classifications are normally assigned at time of CA initiation (vice changing to Long Term at the due date).
(f) CAs issued to track Enhancements as defined in 3.0[22], and documented as such in PCRS, may be closed referencing other processes without CRG approval.
(g) For each Corrective Action that contains safeguards information: [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]
(1) Where additional safeguards information is required to describe information in the Corrective Action, the additional information shall be contained in a uniquely identified safeguards document (2) The Corrective Action shall reference the uniquely identified safeguards document and the uniquely identified safeguards document shall reference the Condition Report and Corrective Action. It shall be the responsibility of the Security Department to ensure this cross reference is made.
(3) The uniquely identified safeguards document shall be maintained in a safeguards file in accordance with Safeguards requirements. The Security department shall be responsible for maintaining this safeguards file and for developing and maintaining procedures to control this file.
(4) The safeguards file shall be auditable and must meet retention requirements equivalent to those of the Corrective Action Process at the individual site.
(h) The Change Management Process, EN-PL-155, should be used as appropriate for corrective actions that meet the complexity and risk outlined in the policy.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 33 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.9 cont
[2] Corrective Action Initiation (a) Corrective Actions are initiated using PCRS for all actions identified in the action plan, not documented as complete.
(b) Corrective Action Due Dates should be selected with consideration given toward:
- The next potential occurrence of the problem and should ensure the action is complete prior to the next potential occurrence of the problem, if possible.
- The potential impact to plant operation while the action completion is pending.
- How much time is needed to complete the action
- What are the resource availability issues that challenge the completion of the action?
(c) Corrective Action Due Dates should be assigned utilizing the guidance contained in Attachment 9.4.
(d) Typically CA assignments to another department should be made at the management level in PCRS.
(e) Typically CA assigners should notify assignees prior to assignment of an action.
(f) The corrective action content should be specific, actionable, measurable, timely, necessary, cost effective, and compatible, within the capability of management to implement and address the issue. Further guidance on each of these criteria can be found in EN-LI-118.
(g) Corrective Actions must address the cause or resolve the deficiency. Corrective action descriptions must be worded to ensure that the corrective action is tracked to completion. Cross references to other precursor or successor CAs may help ensure successful corrective action.
(h) Corrective Actions directing consideration or evaluation to resolve conditions, issues, or causes should be avoided where possible. If needed, then these corrective actions must also include the expectation for follow-up actions to be issued depending on the outcome of the review.
(i) Corrective Actions that require training or briefing, or that direct communicating expectations, requirements and information must specify the required audience for corrective actions.
(j) The CRG/CARB/OSRC or senior management or above may issue CAs for a CR without the concurrence of assigned or Responsible Manager.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 34 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.9 [2] cont (k) The Operations Shift Manager/SRO may issue corrective actions on a CR, for support of Operability/Functionality Determinations or Evaluations, without the concurrence of assigned or Responsible Manager.
(l) The CA&A group issues CAs at the direction of the CRG/CARB/OSRC or senior management or above and as required by this procedure.
(m) Plant Licensing may issue CAs to have past Operability/Functionality Determinations or Evaluations performed on identified conditions. These determinations and evaluations may be used for determining reportability.
(n) Plant Licensing issues CAs to the assigned or Responsible Managers to ensure that potential or actual NRC violations or findings are adequately addressed in corrective actions. Licensing also performs a closure review of these corrective actions to ensure the finding was adequately addressed.
(o) The CA assigner has the option to review the Corrective Action response for closure, or to allow the CA assignee to close the action. The CA Assigner indicates that a required review is assigned by checking the Concurrence Reqd for Closure check box.
(p) The CA assigner has the option to oversee due date extensions for a given action or to allow the CA assignee the oversight to extend the due date. The CA Assigner indicates that due date extension approval oversight is required by CA Assigner by checking the Require Extension Approval check box (see 5.9 [3] for due date extension approval).
(q) For site CRs initiated in response to an Industry Operating Experience notification, a CA is issued for the Operating Experience organization to perform a closeout on the CR.
[3] CA Due Date Extensions (DDEs) [NL-81-A01-C15], [NL-98-025-C02], [ER960265_02]
(a) Corrective Action Due Dates are met. When needed, due date extension requests include a basis for why the extension is acceptable (i.e., interim controls are in place, the procedure will not be used until next refueling outage, etc.) and a basis for why the extension is necessary.
(b) Corrective Action DDE Approval for all corrective action types should be in accordance with the guidance contained in Attachment 9.4. If the individual approving the extension in PCRS is not at the authority level designated in Attachment 9.4 for approval, then an additional discussion to document how approval was obtained should be recorded in the DDE Request. For example, approval obtained from Director Eng or approval obtained from General Manager, etc.
(c) When approving DDEs, impact to overall corrective action plan should be considered.

[4] CA Closure (a) Upon completion of an action item, the CA assignee documents the response in PCRS.
CRG approval is required before closing the CR or a CA from the CR to a Work Order.
This requirement is not applicable if the CA was issued to track an Enhancement that was not needed to correct the original condition or was not needed to address an identified cause (b) The only process that a CA or (CR) can be closed to is a Work Order (with CRG concurrence - reference 5.8[6]). The following additional guidance is provided concerning Training Evaluation Action Requests TEARs)
(1) When training performance or modification to training material is identified as corrective action in a condition report to address a cause or correct the identified condition, then the completion of the training or modification of training material must be documented in the condition report.
(2) When a CR/CA identifies training or training material modification as corrective action and a TEAR is written to accomplish the activity; if the TEAR process determines no training or modification is required, THEN the condition report action plan approval authority (CRG, CARB, or Responsible Manager) must approve the change to intent of the associated action plan. A new corrective action directing an alternate strategy to address the associated cause or correct the identified condition may be required.
(3) Performance of Training or modification to training material properly identified as an Enhancement, as defined in 3.0[22], may be addressed by referencing a TEAR and not followed to completion through the corrective action process. The Enhancement justification and TEAR number should be referenced in the closure to ensure traceability (c) CA Assigner or CA Assignee, when permitted as described in Step 5.9 [2] (o), reviews each completed action and verifies that the required action is complete and any additional actions are planned. This includes: [ANSI N45.2.12 Section 4.5.2.4], [ANSI N45.2.12, Section 3.3.7], [P7239], [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]
- Ensuring that the response is adequate, answers all aspects of the assigned action, and the intent of the action is met.
- If a change in intent of a Corrective Action plan is necessary, the change should be coordinated with the Responsible Manager (and CARB, if CARB is applicable) and documented.
- Evaluation of the adequacy of the response to a CA shall be performed by safeguard qualified personnel when additional safeguards information is required to describe information in the CA.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 36 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.9[4] (c) cont
- Ensuring all the requirements of step 5.9[1] (g) are met when additional safeguards information is required to describe information in the CA.
- Issuing, in PCRS, any follow-up or additional actions that are documented in the response or documenting why the recommendation is not needed.
- Ensuring that CA closure is timely commensurate with safety significance of the identified issue
- Ensuring that the CA is not closed to a promise of future action.
- Ensuring that the CA is not closed to an unapproved process.
o CRG approval is required before closing a CA to a Work Order.
o This requirement is not applicable if the CA was issued to track an Enhancement that was not needed to correct the original condition or was not needed to address an identified cause.
o CAPRs, actions to correct Operable-DNC or Operable-Comp Measures conditions, and Category A CR actions (except Enhancements), may not be closed to other processes and must remain in the corrective action process until resolved.
- Ensuring any Effectiveness Review Learning Organization documents are initiated when applicable
- Ensuring that electronic copies of any documents needed to understand, clarify, or validate completion of the corrective action responses are attached to the response. (Those attachments must be in either MS Word or PDF format.)
(d) If the action taken is adequate, the CA is closed in PCRS.
(1) If the action taken is inadequate the response is revised until considered adequate for approval, or additional CAs are issued.
(2) Changes to actions should have the same level of review as the original actions (e.g., approval by CARB). If additional CAs are issued, the original CA may be closed with a notation that additional CAs were issued.
(3) If additional corrective actions are identified, appropriate CAs are generated in PCRS.
(e) Closing an open CA in one CR to another CR should be handled as described in Step 5.10 [1] (g).

[5] CR Interim and Periodic Reviews [SOER 10-2 Rec 1]
(a) Each open CR associated with Safety Related equipment will be reviewed at approximately six months from initial assignment date. This review will be documented in a CA assigned to the CR owner and will include at least the following items:
(1) Verification that the action plan documented in PCRS will correct the condition (2) Document expected CR Closure date based on remaining needed actions, (3) Verification, for equipment related CRs that the documented operability/functionality position remains valid for the current condition of the equipment and is expected to remain valid for the duration of the action plan.
Initiate a new CR if the current operability/functionality position is questionable.
(4) Verification that administrative performance within the corrective action process has been acceptable to date. (Appropriate approval levels and justifications for DDEs are documented; LTCAs are appropriately flagged, etc.)
(5) Verification that the risk of not correcting the condition is acceptable for the duration of the action plan, (6) Approval of these reviews and approval for the CR to remain open beyond six months has been obtained and documented from a director level or above.
(7) Attachment 9.8 is provided to facilitate the review and approval process. It can be used if desired. The expectation is to capture the discussion points of that form in a CA, DDE request or initial CA assignment as appropriate. The form itself need not be used, but all points applicable must be addressed and the guidance of 5.9[5] (a) and (b) must be followed as applicable.
(b) At least once per year, following the initial review, each open CR associated with Safety Related equipment will be reviewed. This review will be documented in a corrective action and will include as a minimum the same items as the interim review above, and may be accomplished by a documented verification of the previous review.

[ANSI N45.2.13 9.2 S1a, b, c, d]
[1] Condition Report Closure - Responsible Manager [P9849]
(a) When all CR actions are complete the Responsible Manager shall approve the closure of all Category A and B CRs assigned to their department. While the department manager is ultimately accountable to ensure this closure activity is satisfactorily completed, he/she can delegate necessary tasks as required to support this closure to staff within their department. Accountability for proper and complete closure always remains with that Responsible Manager.
(b) The Responsible Manager or designee should perform CR closure review for Category C CRs.
(c) For Safeguards CRs, the Responsible Manager closure review shall be performed by safeguard qualified personnel. [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]
(d) The closure review by the Responsible Manager (or designee for Category C CRs),
may be documented in the last CA closed from a CR. If the closure is not readily apparent and documented, then CA&A may notify the Responsible Manager that a closure review is necessary. This notification may be in the form of a CR Closure Review CA in PCRS. The Responsible Manager, or designee, reviews the CR to make a recommendation for closure using the following criteria as applicable: [P9849]
- The root cause or apparent cause is valid.
- The specific condition is corrected or resolved.
- Overall plant safety is not inadvertently degraded.
- Generic implications of the identified condition are considered, as appropriate, including generic applicability to other departments and Entergy Sites.
- Actions were taken to preclude repetition, as appropriate.
- Any potential operability/functionality or reportability issue(s) identified during the resolution of the condition has been appropriately addressed.
- All corrective action items are completed.
- No safeguards information or proprietary documents are contained in the CR documentation.
- Effectiveness Review actions have been initiated, when applicable.
(e) If the CR is not adequate for closure, the Responsible Manager will issue any additional actions to complete the corrective action. The issuance of additional actions will take the CR out of the closure process.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 39 OF 67 Corrective Action Process 5.10 [1] cont (f) If the condition report is adequate for closure the Responsible Manager recommends and documents final closure of the condition report.
(g) When an open CR is closed to another existing CR, the following requirements should be met:
- The CR being closed is the same or lower Category level than the existing CR.
Otherwise CRG concurrence is required.
- The owner of the CR to be closed will obtain concurrence from the owner (Responsible Manager) of the CR to remain open that the open CR will be allowed to resolve the condition identified in the CR that will be closed.
- The owner of the CR to be closed should ensure a CA is assigned to the owner of the CR remaining open stating that the CR has been closed to the CR remaining open and that the CR being closed must be addressed within the CR remaining open.
(h) Closing an open CA in one CR to another CR should be done as described in 5.10[1]
(g).
(i) An independent closure review is performed for all significant CRs prior to the CA&A closeout review (Quality Check) and CR closure. CA&A normally performs this independent closure review to the same standards/requirements applicable for the RM closure review, but a subject matter expert from a department (or Site) other than the Responsible Managers may be assigned to complete this review if warranted (j) An independent closure review is not required for non-significant CRs prior to the DPIC /
CA&A closeout review (Quality Check) and CR closure. The documented RM closure review is adequate authorization for processing and closure of the CR by DPIC / CA&A as allowed per the requirements of this section
[2] Condition Report Closure (a) DPICs are allowed to perform the CR closeout review (CR Quality check) and close Non-CARB B - Lower Tier and C level CRs. Otherwise CA&A performs this function (e.g. A and B-Higher Tier level CRs as well as B-Lower Tier CRs that were approved by CARB). Also, CA&A may perform this function as a backup for DPICs as required.
(b) General requirements for CR closeout review and CR closure (1) For Safeguards CRs, closure / closeout reviews shall be performed by safeguard qualified personnel. [CR-HQN-2009-1107, NRC Order EA-09-060]
(2) Upon receipt of response from the Responsible Manager stating that the CR is ready for closure the Manager, CA&A (or Manager CA&A Projects at headquarters) or designee, or DPIC ensures any applicable independent review and closure reviews of the CR are performed as appropriate.

(4) If the CR closeout review determines that the report is not adequate for closure, then a CA is issued using the UNSAT RESPONSE CA&A" action type, with specific recommendations or identified discrepancies that need further review
- a. Due dates for UNSAT RESPONSE CA&A" actions are usually 30 days from the date of issuance. UNSAT RESPONSE CA&A" actions do not require the concurrence of the manager being assigned the action
- b. UNSAT RESPONSE CA&A" actions are issued to the Responsible Manager of the CR to evaluate the specific recommendations or identified discrepancies. Based on the evaluation results, additional actions are issued or a documented response is provided as to why no additional actions are necessary.
- c. If a satisfactory response cannot be obtained for adequate closure of the CR then the issue is resolved at the appropriate level of management (c) During the closeout review process, the results of the root cause or apparent cause evaluation is reviewed and the associated trend codes are adjusted if necessary (d) If the CR was assigned to a Responsible Manager for correction of a condition, CRG approval is required before closing the CR or a CA in the CR to a Work Order. This requirement is not applicable if the CA was issued to track an Enhancement that was not needed to correct the original condition or was not needed to address an identified cause.
(1) CAPRs, actions to correct Operable-DNC or Operable-Comp Measures conditions, and Category A CR actions (except Enhancements), may not be closed to other processes and must remain in the corrective action process until resolved.

After CRs are closed and entered into the permanent document management system, they should not be re-opened. However, a CR may be administratively re-opened in PCRS to add non Quality record related information for ease of future research, in the trend section, reference section, equipment section, or Administrative section. Only trend coding, reference items or equipment identification information can be updated / corrected. Then the CR will be immediately re-closed. Otherwise, if information becomes available that indicates additional work is required for a CR in the permanent document storage system, a new CR should be initiated.

Corrective Action Review Board (CARB):
The Condition Review Group (CRG) is responsible for determining that a condition report contains an issue that warrants CARB oversight. The purpose of CARB oversight is to ensure the condition reports are evaluated in-depth and well documented. CARB oversight includes approval of the final cause determination and the corrective action plan. CARB oversight is assigned for all Category A, Significant condition reports and may be assigned for Category B, Non-significant condition reports. The following guidance is provided to assist CRG in the determination of CARB assignment:
s Condition reports with cross-disciplinary (across more than one department) aspects to them.
s Condition reports with cross human performance aspects.
s Condition reports with cross organizational aspects.
s Condition reports important to nuclear, public, or personnel safety s Condition reports important to generation capability s Condition report events with generic implications s Condition reports on equipment reliability applicability items impacting:
- Capability factor
- Forced loss rate
- Unplanned LCO entry
- Dose
- Maintenance rule functional failure
- Chronic system or component failure s CRs on training programs which are determined to meet the criteria for a Finding per the Measures for Judgment contained in ACAD 02-001. Note: A Fleet Training Assessment Challenge Board will be convened at the Training Directors discretion to review ACE or RCE results related to training assessment findings prior to their presentation to CARB.
The following classification guidance is subject to CRG discretion. The CRG maintains the authority to deviate from this guidance, as warranted, so long as resolutions of Adverse Conditions are documented in the Corrective Action program. .
Significant classification is the highest and most important. In most cases, significant events are the result of multiple barrier failures or programmatic breakdowns. There is considerably more investigation into the cause of the identified condition.
- Category A - An adverse condition classified as significant and requires a Root Cause and actions to preclude repetition.
Condition meets one of the significant definitions. Typically, the condition is viewed as applicable to 10CFR50, requiring cause determination, correction of adverse condition and corrective actions to preclude repetition. Root Cause Evaluations should be completed within 30 days.
-For Human Performance/Process issues:
- 1. Does the identified problem meet the Human Performance Event Criteria? (see HU-101,Attachment 9.1) If yes then the CRG should consider classifying the CR as Significant.
-For Tagging Issues (Tagging error classification is defined in EN-FAP-OP-009)
- 2. Level I Tagging issue - Where no barriers were present and event is significant a Cat. A CR RCA may be applicable the CRG should consider classifying the CR as Significant.
-For Training issues:
- 1. Condition reports for Training Assessment Areas for Improvement (AFI as defined by EN LI-104) which are determined to meet the criteria for a Finding per the Measures for Judgment contained in ACAD 02-001 should be evaluated through a root cause process.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 48 OF 67 Corrective Action Process ATTACHMENT 9.1 CONDITION REPORT CLASSIFICATIONS / CATEGORY Sheet 2 of 6 Non-Significant condition reports document problems for which a repeat occurrence (while always undesirable) can be tolerated.
- Category B - An adverse condition classified as non-significant and assigned to a Responsible Manager for documentation of apparent cause, corrective actions taken to correct the condition and to address the apparent cause(s). This CR may require an Apparent Cause Evaluation / Equipment Failure Evaluation, or a Root Cause Analysis and are performed as either Higher Tier or Lower Tier type as determined by the CRG.
Condition does not meet the significant definition. Usually, Category B conditions are Conditions Adverse to Quality and 10CFR50 applicable. However, since they are not significant, 10CFR50 only requires prompt identification and correction. Notwithstanding, the CRG views a Category B condition to be more than a broke-fix issue. In addition to correcting the identified deficiency, the Category B Condition Report should:
- 1. Determine and document the apparent cause of deficiency.
- 2. Determine and document the action plan to eliminate identified causes of the condition thereby reducing likelihood of condition repetition.
Category B designation should be prudently used to ensure a value added resource expenditure. Apparent Cause Evaluations / Equipment Failure Evaluations should be done within 30 days.
The following guidance (for both Equipment Failure Evaluations and Human Performance/Process issues) is provided as a tool to further help differentiate B level CRs from C level CRs after a determination is made that the condition does not meet the criteria to be designated as a Significant CR (A). This information is only a tool and does not override the authority of the CRG to make a final decision on the classification of a CRs category.
- For Tagging Issues (Tagging error classification is defined in EN-FAP-OP-009)
- 1. Level I Tagging issue - Where no barriers were present requires a minimum Cat. B CR, Higher Tier ACE, based on significance of the event a Cat. A CR RCA may be applicable.
- 2. Level II tagging issue - Where one barrier was present requires a minimum a Cat. B CR, Lower Tier ACE based on significance of the event a Higher Tier ACE may be applicable.
-For Equipment Failure Evaluations:
- 1. For failures of High Critical equipment (Classification in accordance with EN-DC-153) a minimum Category B High Tier apparent cause and an EN-LI-119-01, Attachment 9.1 Equipment Failure Evaluation is recommended.
- 2. For failures of Low Critical equipment (Classification in accordance with EN-DC-153) a minimum Category B Lower Tier apparent cause and an EN-LI-119-01, Attachment 9.1 Equipment Failure Evaluation is recommended.
- 3. For equipment failure where there was an unexpected failure of safety related or important equipment
[ER20031910_12]
- 4. If the equipment failure is of a repeated occurrence such that it is prudent to determine why it failed and take action to preclude repetition.
- 5. Additional Significance classification guidance is provided in Attachment 9.6 for equipment related CRs that do not screen as Category A or B level CRs.
NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 49 OF 67 Corrective Action Process ATTACHMENT 9.1 CONDITION REPORT CLASSIFICATIONS / CATEGORY Sheet 3 of 6
-For Human Performance/Process issues:
- 1. Does the identified problem meet the Human Error threshold? (see HU-101, Attachment 9.2)
- 2. Is the identified problem a repetitive issue that demands a more aggressive approach to eliminate the issue? Is continuing to treat a repetitive problem as a broke/fix still prudent?
- 3. Is it prudent to not only fix the identified problem, but also to determine/document cause(s) of the problem and determine/document an action plan to fix cause(s)?
-For Quality Assurance Issues:
- Category C - An adverse condition classified as non-significant or a non-adverse condition assigned to a Responsible Manager for investigation and correction. A condition that has or would have minimal effect on the safe or reliable operation of the plant or personnel. The safety significance of the occurrence is sufficiently minor that an apparent cause determination is not required. Required action need only return the equipment or process to an acceptable status. Conditions in this category are frequently referred to as broke/fix. See Attachment 9.6.
A Category C condition does not meet definition of significant. However, it may be a Condition Adverse to Quality and 10CFR50 applicable (prompt identification and correction). The desired resolution is correction of the identified problem. While determination of cause is often required to fix a problem, no formal documentation of cause is required. Repeat occurrence of the problem is viewed as acceptable.
-For Equipment Failure Evaluations:
Additional Significance classification guidance is provided in Attachment 9.6 for equipment related CRs that do not screen as Category A or B level CRs.
- Category D - No tracking of corrective actions is required and the CR may be closed. For example the condition has been corrected, closed to a Work Order, closed to an existing CR, or is below CR threshold.
Adverse Conditions (and Non-Adverse conditions at the discretion of the CRG) which would not exceed the criteria for a category C CR may be closed in one of the three following ways:
Category D Close to WMS Category D Close to CR Category D Condition Corrected (when supporting documentation is provided)
CRs identifying conditions which are below the level of Adverse Conditions as defined in 3.0[2] may be classified as Category D and closed in the following ways:
Category D-- Actions Taken Category D -- Close Reference Category D -- Review for Emerging Trend Category D - Below Threshold Note: In order to ensure appropriate oversight and independence, the Quality Assurance (QA) organization has the right to determine if a QA identified condition is a Condition Adverse to Quality or a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality. In cases where the CRG does not concur that a QA identified condition is a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality, the Director, Oversight has the authority to overrule the CRG.

It allows for more consistency in Categorization of Condition Reports. To use this tool, first select the closest fit under Severity Levels, then choose the best fit under Frequency Levels. If more than one level fits select the higher level. Finally, use the matrix to find the recommended CR categorization, recognizing that CRG discretion may be needed in final determination.
Severity Levels
- 1. Condition that:
- Is classified as a Significant (Level 1 or 2) Reactivity Management Event,
- Is classified as White, Yellow, or Red through the NRC Significance Determination Process,
- Results in E-Plan declaration, regulatory intervention or significant public interest,
- Results in an industrial related fatality, severe injury requiring transportation off site,
- Results in major system, component, or structure damage or loss,
- Affects more than one department,
- Is deemed a near miss to catastrophic consequences,
- Results in a loss of production (>10%),
- Identifies a problem that meets the Human Performance Event Criteria (see EN-HU-101 Attachment 9.1).
When a CR identifies a Human Performance Event the CRG should consider classifying the CR as Significant.
- Is otherwise deemed to meet one of the significant definitions by the CRG, including an Adverse QA Finding and/or a Significant Condition Adverse to Quality (SCAQ).

NUCLEAR QUALITY RELATED EN-LI-102 REV. 17 MANAGEMENT MANUAL INFORMATIONAL USE PAGE 56 OF 67 Corrective Action Process ATTACHMENT 9.3 MANUAL CR I NITIATION Sheet 1 of 4 NOTE Sample forms used to implement this procedure are included in this attachment. It is not mandatory that the exact forms be used. Equivalent forms may be used, but they must contain the same or additional information. Any deletion of information must be accomplished by procedure revision.
This attachment provides a contingency method for generating, performing operability/functionality and immediate reportability determinations, and tracking Condition Reports when PCRS is not available. The Entergy Help Desk and CA&A staff should be called if a PCRS outage is experienced.
Manual operation of the Condition Reporting System is limited to the generation of Condition Reports and the documentation of operability/functionality and immediate reportability determinations/evaluations. Issuing and responding to Condition Report Corrective Actions will be postponed until PCRS is available. However, any actions required to place the plant in a safe condition, or any other emergency actions, can proceed.
1.0 Condition Report Generation (Form 1):
1.1 Any individual, who discovers a Condition, when PCRS is not available, should follow the steps of section 5.2 with the exception of writing the Condition report with PCRS.
1.2 The attached form should be used to document a Condition when PCRS is unavailable.
1.3 Take the completed form and any supporting documentation to the Control Room/Work Control Center, as appropriate. (Not applicable when generating Headquarters CRs. When generating Headquarters CRs manually, contact the Headquarters Corrective Action Coordinator).
2.0 Operability and Immediate Reportability Determinations (Form 3): (This section does not apply when generating CRs for offsite locations such as Headquarters. Results of Impact Applicability Reviews for CRs generated for offsite locations are documented on the Manual CR Continuation Form (Form 2)).
2.1 The Shift Manager/designee ensures that the manual CRs are maintained in the Control Room for periodic retrieval by CA&A and that CA&A is informed when manual CRs are ready for CA&A to pick up.
2.2 The Shift Manager/designee will perform the operability and immediate reportability.
2.3 Following the completion of the operability/functionality and immediate reportability determinations the Shift Manager/designee retains the Condition Report package for CA&A pick up.
3.0 Conversion of manual Condition Reports to PCRS:
3.1 CA&A picks up manual Condition Report packages and presents them to the CRG. CA&A communicates any immediate management actions to the affected parties.
3.2 When the PCRS becomes available, CA&A informs the Control Room and then CA&A enters the manual Condition Reports into PCRS. PCRS automatically assigns the next sequential CR number to each manual CR. The original forms are then scanned into PCRS.

This attachment provides the Condition Review Group (CRG) and Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) the criteria and guidance for the identification of an internal significant condition, event, or issue for processing through the Internal Fleet Learning OE process.
The CRG or CARB may identify the CR for:
- a. Immediate Sharing - CRs which need to be shared in a timely manner. There should be sufficient information provided in the CR to allow other sites to understand, and if necessary, act on the condition.
- b. Site Sharing - condition for which the causal analysis needs to be shared
- c. Fleet Learning - condition for which the causal analysis is significant enough to assign a Responsible Manager to review and to determine fleet impact.
This may be done by CRG during CR classification/assignment or CARB during approval review of RCAs or ACEs.
2.0 Scope
2.1 The Fleet Learning process should include, as a minimum, the following issues identified at a Entergy Nuclear Station:
- All Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Substantive Cross-Cutting Issues.
- All NRC violations characterized as greater then GREEN.
- Significant events, typically Category A CRs, as deemed appropriate by CRG or CARB. Not all Category A CRs are expected to be shared using this process, however those with particularly significant consequences should be shared.
- Other issues identified by CRG or CARB of significance. Each Training program FINDING level issue identified by an INPO Accreditation Team, or by an Entergy Self-Assessment Team.
2.2 Entergys Condition Review Group (CRG) screens and classifies all condition reports and may select condition reports identifying internal significant condition, events or issues for internal fleet learning OE processing as immediate sharing and/or evaluation results sharing.
2.3 Corrective Action Review Board (CARB) reviews/approvals all Root Cause Reports and selected Apparent Cause Evaluations and may also identify one of these condition reports not previously identified by CRG for internal fleet learning OE processing as evaluation results sharing.

3.0 Details
3.1 Internal Fleet OE Initiation for Fleet Learning 3.1.1 Once CRG or CARB has determined that a condition report (CR) should be processed through the internal fleet learning OE process, CA&A ensures a corrective action is issued within the identified CR, to the site OE Coordinator(s) as follows:
3.1.1.1 For CRs that require Immediate Sharing (at CR initiation) a corrective action is issued to the OE Coordinator with a due date of <14 days, unless otherwise directed by CRG. The OE Coordinator will normally process in accordance with EN OE-100 as Code B - Useful for Site Awareness.
3.1.1.2 For CRs that require SITE SHARING a corrective action is issued to the OE Coordinator with a due date of <60 days, unless otherwise directed by CRG or CARB. The OE Coordinator will process in accordance with EN OE-100.
3.1.1.3 For CRs that require FLEET LEARNING a corrective action is issued to the OE Coordinator with a due date of <60 days, unless otherwise directed by CRG or CARB. The OE Coordinator will process in accordance with EN OE-100 as Code A-Evaluation Required A2. When closed the CA will contain the following information (provided by CRG/CARB):
s Site subject matter expert.
s Identity of the Responsible Manager that will support the Internal Fleet OE through issuing review actions, performing closure review and determination of aggregate impact to the fleet..

However, it does not override the CRGs authority to apply management discretion when classifying these CRs.
Is the equipment issue an Adverse Condition? Yes No Is the issue affecting Operability, Functionality, or Full Qualification of Safety/Quality Related Equipment OR is it a high or low critical component failure?
Yes No Does the issue constitute a risk to generation or an unplanned shutdown LCO? LCO?
Yes No Is the failure related to equipment needed for emergency plan or site security or negatively affects an NRC PI? Yes No Is the failure an operations aggregate issue or corrective maintenance? Yes No Does the issue constitute a credible Industrial Safety threat?
Yes No The identified problem is an Adverse Condition and should be screened as higher than CAT C when other The identified problem is not an Adverse significance guidance in this procedure is applicable.
Condition. The condition report may be Otherwise, it should be screened as Cat C. Critical screened as CAT D Close Reference the equipment failures should not be closed to the Work Order Work Request number and/or Work Order (WO) until after the EFE is completed. However, if number generated for repair. Additional completion of the Work Order (WO) is the only action tracking per this procedure is not required. needed, then the CR may be screened as CAT D subject to the requirements of Section 5.8[6] of this procedure.
