Title
10 CFR 26.205, Paragraph (a) requires, in part, Any individual who performs duties identified in Paragraphs 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) shall be subject to the requirements of this section. Title
10 CFR 26.4, Paragraph (a)(4) identifies individuals who are Performing maintenance or onsite directing of the maintenance of
SSCs that a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety. Title
10 CFR 26.205, Paragraph (c) requires, in part, Licensees shall schedule the work hours of individuals who are subject to this section consistent with the objective of preventing impairment from fatigue due to the duration, frequency, or sequencing of successive shifts. Title
10 CFR 26.205, Paragraph (d)(2)(ii) requires, in part, Licensees shall ensure that individuals have, at a minimum, a 34-hour break in any 9-day period. Contrary to the above, from March 26, 2016, through April 3, 2016, two individuals who performed duties identified in 26.4(a)(4) were not scheduled work hours as required by 26.205(c). Specifically, the individuals were inappropriately excluded from the work hour limits specified in 26.205(d)(2)(ii). As a result, the individuals were not provided a 34-hour break in any 9-day period. The violation was determined to be of very low safety significance based on a qualitative evaluation of the potential consequences of the performance issue since there were no human performance related incidents attributed to the two maintenance craftsmen while they were not in compliance with the work hour limits. The licensee entered this violation into its corrective action program as CARD 1622779.
