The inspectors identified a finding of verThe inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the failure to follow an abnormal operating procedure. Specifically, abnormal operating procedure (DOA) 5700-01, Loss of Heating Boilers, Revision 12, required per step D.5 monitoring and logging temperatures per Checklists 1 and 2 at specific locations within and outside the plant when outside ambient temperature was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The licensee failed to enter DOA 5700-01 and perform the required Checklists even though the outside ambient temperatures dropped below 40 degrees 21 times between October 6 and November 6, 2012. The licensees corrective actions include revising procedures DOA 5700-01 and DOS 0010-22 to remove inconsistencies and creating a method for ensuring plant temperature monitoring is performed in all required locations in accordance with proceduralized compensatory measures. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a. In this example the failure to write an engineering evaluation was not more than minor; however, the example states the failure to write engineering evaluations on similar issues was more than minor. The reason this violation is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a, is that the environmental conditions necessary to enter DOA 57001-01 existed 21 times between October 5, 2012 and November 6, 2012. Therefore this performance deficiency also impacted the Mitigating System Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, The inspectors reviewed IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012, and answered all four questions NO. Therefore the issue screened as having very low safety significance. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions. Specifically, the licensee was aware that the plant heating boilers were not available and that temperatures were dropping below freezing and did not enter the appropriate procedures to ensure the plant was adequately protected from the weather.was adequately protected from the weather.
