| description = The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, which states, in part, activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and accomplished in accordance with these procedures. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to ensure procedures related to the boric acid corrosion control program were adequate and properly implemented. Specifically, prior to February 19, 2013, the licensee failed to: (1) resolve discrepancies within the boric acid corrosion control program procedure; (2) resolve discrepancies between the boric acid corrosion control program procedure and the boric acid leak management procedure; and (3) failed to track and resolve leakage for locations where health physics had installed drip catch containments, to review the Health Physics Drip Bag Log as part of the quarterly outside containment walkdown, and to add component locations to the program. Further, the licensee failed to periodically assess the effectiveness of the program on a refueling frequency. The violation was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report 65212. The inspectors determined that the failure to recognize discrepancies between boric acid control procedures and the failure to follow boric acid program procedures was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the Initiating Events Cornerstone attribute of procedure quality and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations, and if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, failure to resolve discrepancies within procedures or track and resolve leak locations where health physics had installed drip catch containments had the potential to mischaracterize leaks or allow leaks to corrode safety-related systems. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), because the finding was a procedure quality problem that did not represent a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work practices component because the licensee failed to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including procedure appropriateness and compliance, such that nuclear safety is supported. | | description = The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, which states, in part, activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and accomplished in accordance with these procedures.
