A finding of very low safety significance … A finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to maintain maintenance planning procedures appropriate for the circumstances that could affect performance of safety related equipment. Specifically, procedure MA-AA-203-1001, Work Order Planning, did not ensure that maintenance activities performed on secondary containment components between surveillance testing intervals (2012 and 2014) was properly evaluated for the potential for preconditioning. The licensee entered the inspectors concerns into the Corrective Action Program as condition report 02008529. Corrective actions included the performance of a condition evaluation to evaluate the work that had been done over the previous cycle for preconditioning and an apparent cause evaluation for the work planning procedural gap with respect to preconditioning and its possible impact on work activities. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because the finding impacted the Barrier Integrity cornerstone attribute of procedural quality, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents and events. Furthermore, the finding wa</br>determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected, failing to properly and consistently evaluate the potential for unacceptable preconditioning would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. The inspectors applied IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued June 19, 2012, to this finding. The inspectors answered No to all questions within Table 3, Significance Determination Process Appendix Router, and transitioned to IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, June 19, 2012. The inspectors answered No to questions C.1 and C.2 in Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions. Therefore, the finding was screened as very low safety significance (Green). This finding was associated with the cross-cutting aspect of work management in the area of Human Performance because the licensees work order planning process was not appropriate for the circumstances to evaluate the impact of maintenance activities on Technical Specification equipment and surveillance tes</br>results.
