The NRC identified a Non-Cited Violation o … The NRC identified a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, because, in the 1990s, Susquehanna failed to adequately evaluate a deviation from the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group Emergency Procedure Guidelines / Severe Accident Guidelines (BWROG EPG/SAG), which resulted in one of the emergency operating procedures (EOPs) being inadequate. Specifically, Caution #1 in the BWROG EPG/SAG warned the operators that reactor pressure vessel (RPV) level instrumentation may be unreliable if the drywell temperatures exceeded RPV saturation temperature. The purpose of the Caution was to give the operators a chance to evaluate the validity of the RPV level instrumentation to avoid premature entry into the RPV flooding contingency procedure. Susquehanna did not adequately evaluate the deviation, and the Susquehanna EOPs did not use a Caution statement; but instead, changed the caution to a procedural step, which directed the operators to transition directly to the RPV flooding procedure. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the Procedure Quality attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affects the objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the EOP could have directed entry into the RPV flooding procedure unnecessarily which would have restricted the use of suppression pool cooling and required other actions that would have complicated the operators response to the event. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not a design deficiency, did not result in an actual loss of safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events.
