The inspectors identified a finding of ver … The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to follow procedure NP 8.7.1, Measurement and Test Equipment (M&TE). Specifically, the inspectors identified multiple examples where the licensee did not document the withdrawal and use of M&TE in either the M&TE usage log or its electronic equivalent. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program (CAP) as action request (AR) 01925171. The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, without accurate M&TE usage logs the licensee may not evaluate all past surveillances affected by failed M&TE, potentially resulting in a failed TS surveillance going undetected. The inspectors determined that the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, because not evaluating the prior use of inaccurate M&TE could permit equipment required to mitigate the consequences of the accident to not perform its design and licensing basis functions when called upon. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green), because the inspectors answered No to the Mitigating Systems screening questions. The inspectors concluded that this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, decision making, because the licensee failed to effectively communicate the station expectations related to changes in responsibilities for implementing NP 8.7.1. related to changes in responsibilities for implementing NP 8.7.1.
