An NRC-identified NCV of TS 6.8.1, Procedu … An NRC-identified NCV of TS 6.8.1, Procedures and Programs, was identified for the licensees failure to properly implement written procedures covering activities referenced in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, dated February 1978. Specifically, the licensee routinely failed to complete engineering evaluations to determine the acceptability of scaffolds that did not meet the 2 inch clearance requirement of NextEra Nuclear Fleet Administrative Procedure MA-AA-100-1002, Scaffold Installation, Modification, and Removal Requests. The licensees failure to erect scaffold in compliance with the NextEra Nuclear Fleet Administrative Procedure was a performance deficiency. This issue has been entered into the licensees CAP. The performance deficiency was more-than-minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone Attribute of Protection against External Factors, Seismic, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, routinely failing to complete engineering evaluations of scaffold clearance issues could lead to the continued use of inadequately installed scaffolds, ultimately posing a risk of rendering safety-related equipment inoperable during normal and adverse conditions, such as a design basis seismic event. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, Table 2, Cornerstones Affected by Degraded Condition or Programmatic Weakness, dated June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined the finding affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012, was used to further evaluate this finding. The finding screened as Green because no was answered to all four screening questions, i.e. the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of any piece of plant equipment for any amount of time. The finding involved the cross-cutting area of PI&R in the aspect of resolution, in that the organization did not take effective corrective actions to address the scaffolding issues in a timely manner, as evidenced by a period of five months in which the inspectors continued to identify non-conformances with erected scaffold.entify non-conformances with erected scaffold.
