The inspectors identified a self-revealing … The inspectors identified a self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.54(q) for the failure to maintain in effect, an emergency plan which meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). Specifically, a standard emergency classification and action level scheme which includes facility system parameters. The licensee\'s plan contained Alert and Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) emergency action levels (EALs) which relied on indications from the stations Strong Motion Accelerograph (seismic monitoring equipment) while that instrument was incapable of functioning. The licensee entered the problem into their corrective action program as condition report, CR-469813. The inspectors determined that the failure to properly maintain the seismic instrumentation was a performance deficiency and resulted in an emergency plan requirement which could not be met. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone attribute of Emergency Response Organization Performance. The finding impacted the cornerstone objective because it is associated with a program element not meeting 50.47(b) planning standards to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, the licensees ability to declare an Alert and NOUE based on Natural Phenomenon was degraded. The finding was assessed for significance in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, using the Phase I SDP worksheets for emergency preparedness and was determined to be very low safety significance because there was a degraded risk-significant planning standard function. IMC 0609, Appendix B states, FAILURE TO COMPLY means that a program is noncompliant with a REGULATORY REQUIREMENT. The inspectors determined the licensee was noncompliant with 10 CFR 50.54(q), 50.47(b)(4), and App. E, Section IV.B in that the Natural Phenomenon Emergency Action Level contained Alert and NOUE classification decision inputs requiring Strong Motion Accelerograph activation, which could not function due to inadequate maintenance. This would require use of other means to determine whether the classification thresholds had been exceeded. Using IMC 0609 App. B, Figure 5.4-1, Significance Determination for Ineffective EALs and Overclassification, the inspectors determined that an Alert (HA1.1) would not be declared, resulting in Green significance. The cause of this finding involved the cross cutting area of human performance, the component of resources, and the aspect of complete, accurate, and up-to-date proceduresplete, accurate, and up-to-date procedures
