Subject:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation associated with a White significance determination process (SDP) finding will be issued on or around November 22, 2006, to Duke Power Company, LLC, as a result of inspections at the Oconee Nuclear Station. This White finding, an issue of low to moderate safety significance which may require additional NRC inspection, involved the failure to effectively control maintenance activities, and also the failure to assess and manage the risk, associated with removing an access cover in the south wall of the standby shutdown facility (SSF) to facilitate installation of temporary electrical power cables.
A Notice of Violation is included based on a violation of Technical Specifications for an inadequate procedure and 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) for the failure to adequately assess and manage the increase in risk from maintenance activities. Specifically, on August 13, 2003, while performing planned maintenance involving the opening of a penetration in the SSF exterior wall to route temporary electrical power cables, the licensee failed to use an adequate procedure to open and control a penetration through a passive flood protection barrier and route temporary power cables. The procedure did not address the installation of temporary power cables and did not address breaching and restoring a flood barrier. As a result, the licensee failed to assess and manage the increase in risk associated with the degradation of the flood protection capability of the SSFs exterior wall from August 13, 2003 to August 3, 2005.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Final Significance Determination November 22, 2006 Telephone Notification of Licensee November 22, 2006 The State of South Carolina will be notified.
