Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 & 2; Drill Evaluation This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. | |||
===Cornerstone: Emergency | One self'revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified. | ||
The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects for the findings were determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within Cross-Cutting Areas." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006. | |||
===Cornerstone: Emergency=== | |||

A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) to | A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available was identified. | ||
Specifically, FENOC failed to fully staff two primary Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions during an unannounced activation drill. FENOC entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR 2011-04431. | |||
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. | |||
The inspectors determined that the finding was not similar to the examples for minor deficiencies contained in IMC 0612, Appendix E,"Examples of Minor lssues." The finding is more than minor because it affects the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone, The finding is associated with the ERO readiness attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. | |||
In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix B, Sheet 1, "Failure to Comply" flowchart, the performance deficiency screens to green because it is considered a degraded planning standard function.The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, in that FENOC personnel did not effectively communicate expectations regarding drill participation and staff did not respond in the required time for ERO positions they had accepted in the call out system [H.4(b)].

Emergency Preparedness 1EP6 Drill Evaluation (71114.06 - 2 samples).1 Emerqencv Preparedness Drill Observation a. lnspection Scooq The inspectors evaluated the conduct of routine FENOC emergency drill on October 6 and unannounced activation drill on October 25 to identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in the classification, notification, and protective action recommendation development activities. | |||
The inspectors observed emergency response operations in the simulator, technical support center, and emergency operations facility to determine whether the event classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations were performed in accordance with procedures. | |||
The inspectors also attended the station drill critique to compare inspector observations with those identified by FENOC staff in order to evaluate FENOC's critique and to verify whether the licensee staff was properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the corrective action program.b. Findinos lntroduction: | |||
A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available was identified. | |||
Specifically, FENOC failed to fully staff two primary Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions during an unannounced activation drill.Description: | |||
On October 25, Beaver Valley Power Station failed an Emergency Response off-hours, unannounced activation drill. At 041 1, a simulated Alert was initiated by the control room as a site wide activation with all ERO responders required to report to assigned positions. | |||
Two primary ERO positions that augment on-shift personnel, Radiation Technician and Field Monitoring Driver, were not fully staffed within the required 60 minute activation per the Emergency Preparedness Plan, Section 5, Table 5.1, Minimum On-Shift Staffing Requirements. | |||
Four of the ten required Radiation Technician positions were not fully staffed until 69 minutes from drill declaration, and one of two required Field Monitoring Driver positions was not filled until 71 minutes after drill declaration. | |||
These positions are filled by personnel not required to carry pagers. All Enclosure 13 personnel were initially contacted via pager, followed by calls to home phones and/or cell phones. The automated callout system continues to contact personnel until all ERO positions are acknowledged by a callfrom the responder committing to report to the station within the required time.The licensee conducted a root cause analysis of the failed activation drill. Several changes were made to the ERO automated call-out system that contacts ERO responders. | |||
More phone lines were dedicated to calling Radiation Technicians. | |||
The number of Radiation Technicians contacted for ERO positions required to respond to the site was increased from 10 to 20 personnel. | |||
The automated callout system now contacts personnel via home phone, cell phone, and pager, when positions remain unfilled after the initial call-out system transmission. | |||
A text message is also sent out with the initial page to cell phones.Analvsis: | |||
The failure to fully staff the Radiation Technician positions and Field Monitoring Driver position within the required time is considered a performance deficiency. | |||
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. | |||
The inspectors determined that the finding was not similar to the examples for minor deficiencies contained in IMC 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." The finding is more than minor because it affects the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone. | |||
The finding is associated with the ERO readiness attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. | |||
ln accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix B, Sheet 1, "Failure to Comply" flowchart, the performance deficiency screens to green because it is considered a degraded planning standard function.The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, in that FENOC personnel did not etfectively communicate expectations regarding drill participation and staff did not respond in the required time for ERO positions they had accepted in the automated callout system tH.4(b)1.Enforcement: | |||
10 CFR 50.sa(q) requires that FENOC follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which comply with the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(bX2), to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available. | |||
Contrary to the above, FENOC failed to filltwo primary ERO positions required by the Emergency Preparedness Plan during an off-hours, unannounced, activation drill. Because this deficiency is considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), and was entered into the corrective action program (CR 2011-04431), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

lndicator Verification (71 151).1 Mitiqatinq Svstems Performance Index (4 samples)Enclosure a.14 Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed FENOC's submittal of the Mitigating Systems Performance Index for the following systems for the period of October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011: o Unit 1 Emergency AC Power System. Unit 2 Emergency AC Power System. Unit 1 High Pressure Injection System. Unit 2 High Pressure Injection System To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in NEI Document 99-02,"Regulatory Assessment Performance lndicator Guideline," Revision 6. The inspectors also reviewed operator narrative logs, condition reports, mitigating systems performance index derivation reports, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals. | |||
Findinos No findings were identified. | |||
Problem ldentification and Resolution (71152 - 4 samples)Routine Review of Problem ldentification and Resolution Activitigs Inspection Scope As required by Inspection Procedure71152, "Problem ldentification and Resolution," the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that FENOC entered issues into the corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the corrective action program and periodically attended management review board condition report screenings. | |||
Findinqs No findings were identified. | |||
Annual Sample: Review of the Operator Workaround Prooram Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of the existing operator workarounds, operator burdens, existing operator aids and disabled alarms, and open main control room deficiencies to identify any effect on emergency operating procedure operator actions, and any impact on possible initiating events and mitigating systems. The b.4c.42.1 a.b.,2 Enclosure | |||
===. | ===.3 b.a.15 inspectors=== | ||
evaluated whether station personnel had identified, assessed, and reviewed operator workarounds as specified in FENOC procedure NOBP-OP-OO12, "Operator Work-Arounds, Burdens, and Control Room Deficiencies." The inspectors reviewed FENOC's process to identify, prioritize and resolve main control room distractions to minimize operator burdens. The inspectors reviewed the system used to track these operator workarounds and recent self assessments of the program.The inspectors also toured the control room and discussed the current operator workarounds with the operators to ensure the items were being addressed on a schedule consistent with their relative safety significance. | |||
=SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION= | Findinos and Observations No findings were identified. | ||
Annual Sample: Deqradino Trend in Operations Procedure Content and Usaqe Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an in-depth review of FENOC's corrective actions associated with the full apparent cause for condition report CR 10-82360 and limited apparent cause for condition report CR 11-88214 regarding Operations procedure usage and content during the third and fourth quarters of 2Q10.The inspectors assessed FENOC's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, and the prioritization and timeliness of FENOC's corrective actions to determine whether FENOC was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with the procedure usage by operations department personnel. | |||
Findinqs and Observations No findings were identified. | |||
FENOC's cause analyses identified that errors in procedures was a significant contributor to errors made by operations personnel. | |||
A significant backlog of procedural changes exists on site, and prior to the CR 10-82360, prioritization of procedure changes was not effectively managed. Operators were identifying procedure issues in the corrective action program, but procedure corrections were not being addressed in a timely manner commensurate with the frequency and safety importance of the procedure usage. FENOC is now actively managing the document change request list with a backlog reduction plan that includes weekly updates to management. | |||
Human performance was not recognized as a significant contributor in the analysis and corrective actions.CR 11 -88214 assessed the human performance aspect of the errors that occurred in 2010. A decline in procedure adherence was identified in the analysis. | |||
The corrective actions directed management to reinforce standards to operations regarding the importance of procedural compliance. | |||
Operations human performance has started to decfine in the Clearance/Tagging Program, NOP-OP-1001, implementation, as evidenced by CR 2011-04088, "lnadvertent de-energization of MCC-2-14," b.Enclosure | |||

clearance posting causes trip of 'C' chiller" in the fourth quarter af 2011. While not adversely affecting safety related equipment, human performance by Operations has not exhibited a high level of attention to detail to FENOC clearance program procedures, which are general field references. | |||
There has been an improvement in step-by-step procedure usage by Operations personnel in the fourth quarter of 2011.Annual Sample: Radiation Protection and Chemistrv Safetv Conscious Work Environment 2010/201 1 Survev Results Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an in-depth review of FENOC's corrective actions associated with the full apparent cause for condition reports CR-10-83224 and 10-83492 regarding multiple negative responses in the 2010 Radiation Protection and Chemistry department safety conscious work environment (SCWE) survey.The inspectors assessed FENOC's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, and the prioritization and timeliness of FENOC's corrective actions to determine whether FENOC was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with the negative responses identified in the SCWE survey. The inspectors reviewed the 2011 and 2010 SCWE survey results for the site.Interviews were conducted by inspectors to assess employees'willingness to raise safety concerns onsite. Condition reports generated by Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnelwere reviewed by inspectors. | |||
lnspectors also performed observations of site personnel response to issues discovered in the field, Findinqs and Observations No findings were identified. | |||
FENOC identified several communication issues between Radiation Protection and Chemistry management and staff that is a potential driver of the negative responses in the annual SCWE survey. Based on inspector interviews and discussions with Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel, the staff is aware of various means of raising safety concerns on site. The employee concerns program is consistently used throughout the year by FENOC employees. | |||
2011 Chemistry SCWE survey results improved from the 2010 results. Radiation Protection SCWE survey results remained unchanged. | |||
Inspectors reviewed a sampling of condition reports to determine if Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel were identifying issues through the corrective action process. Condition reports denote if the issue is identified by an individual, supervisor, oversight or is self-revealing. | |||
Based on a random sampling of thirty{hree condition reports generated in the past three months by the Radiation Protection group, over half were identified by individuals. | |||
Twenty-two condition reports generated by Chemistry personnel in the last three months were reviewed, with approximately 65% of issues identified by individuals. | |||
The inspectors determined that, combined with the inspectors'daily review of condition reports, issues are being raised by individuals on site.a.b.Enclosure 17 40A6 Meetinqs. | |||

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 & 2; Drill Evaluation This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors.
One self'revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified.
The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects for the findings were determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within Cross-Cutting Areas." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Emergency
Preparedness e
- Green.
A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available was identified.
Specifically, FENOC failed to fully staff two primary Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions during an unannounced activation drill. FENOC entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR 2011-04431.
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements.
The inspectors determined that the finding was not similar to the examples for minor deficiencies contained in IMC 0612, Appendix E,"Examples of Minor lssues." The finding is more than minor because it affects the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone, The finding is associated with the ERO readiness attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.
In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix B, Sheet 1, "Failure to Comply" flowchart, the performance deficiency screens to green because it is considered a degraded planning standard function.The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, in that FENOC personnel did not effectively communicate expectations regarding drill participation and staff did not respond in the required time for ERO positions they had accepted in the call out system H.4(b). (Section 1EP6)

a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of the Beaver Valley Power Station's readiness for the onset of seasonal cold temperatures.
The review focused on external storage tanks and associated piping and the emergency diesel generators (EDGs). The inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), technical specifications, control room logs, and the corrective action program to determine what temperatures or other seasonal weather could challenge these systems, and to ensure Beaver Valley personnel had adequately prepared for these challenges.
The inspectors reviewed station procedures, including Beaver Valley's seasonal weather preparation procedure and applicable operating procedures.
The inspectors performed walkdowns of the selected systems to ensure station personnel identified issues that could challenge the operability of the systems during cold weather conditions.
Documents reviewed for each section of this inspection report are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
1R04 EquipmentAlionment
.1 Partial Svstem Walkdowns
(71111.04Q - 3 samples)a. lnspection Scope The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the following systems:. Unit 1, 'B' Low head safety injection system (LHSI) during 'A' LHSI pump testing on October 18 o Unit 1, 'A' Outside recirculation spray system during 'B' outside recirculation spray pump maintenance on October 25. Unit 1, 1-2 Emergency diesel generator (EDG) fuel oil, air start, and cooling during 1-1 EDG testing on November 9 Enclosure 5 The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected.
The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the UFSAR, technical specifications, work orders, condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have impacted system performance of their intended safety functions.
The inspectors also performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were operable.
The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no deficiencies.
The inspectors also reviewed whether licensee staff had properly identified equipment issues and entered them into the corrective action program for resolution with the appropriate significance characterization.
b. Findinos No findings were identified.
.2 Full Svstgm Walk@wn (71111.04S - 1 sample)a. Inspection
Scope On November 21, the inspectors performed a complete system walkdown of accessible portions of the Unit 1 quench spray system to verify the existing equipment lineup was correct. The inspectors reviewed operating procedures, drawings, equipment line-up check-off lists, and the UFSAR to verify the system was aligned to perform its required safety functions.
The inspectors also reviewed electrical power availability, component lubrication and equipment cooling, hangar and support functionality, and operability of support systems. The inspectors performed field walkdowns of accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable.
The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no deficiencies.
Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sample of related condition reports and work orders to ensure FENOC appropriately evaluated and resolved any deficiencies.
b. Findinos No findings were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection
.1 Resident lnspector
Quarterlv Walkdowns (71111.05Q - 5 samples)a. lnspection Scope The inspectors conducted tours of the areas listed below to assess the material condition and operational status of fire protection features.

Emergency Preparedness 1EP6 Drill Evaluation (71114.06 - 2 samples).1 Emerqencv Preparedness Drill Observation a. lnspection Scooq The inspectors evaluated the conduct of routine FENOC emergency drill on October 6 and unannounced activation drill on October 25 to identify any weaknesses and deficiencies in the classification, notification, and protective action recommendation development activities.
The inspectors observed emergency response operations in the simulator, technical support center, and emergency operations facility to determine whether the event classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations were performed in accordance with procedures.
The inspectors also attended the station drill critique to compare inspector observations with those identified by FENOC staff in order to evaluate FENOC's critique and to verify whether the licensee staff was properly identifying weaknesses and entering them into the corrective action program.b. Findinos lntroduction:
A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available was identified.
Specifically, FENOC failed to fully staff two primary Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions during an unannounced activation drill.Description:
On October 25, Beaver Valley Power Station failed an Emergency Response off-hours, unannounced activation drill. At 041 1, a simulated Alert was initiated by the control room as a site wide activation with all ERO responders required to report to assigned positions.
Two primary ERO positions that augment on-shift personnel, Radiation Technician and Field Monitoring Driver, were not fully staffed within the required 60 minute activation per the Emergency Preparedness Plan, Section 5, Table 5.1, Minimum On-Shift Staffing Requirements.
Four of the ten required Radiation Technician positions were not fully staffed until 69 minutes from drill declaration, and one of two required Field Monitoring Driver positions was not filled until 71 minutes after drill declaration.
These positions are filled by personnel not required to carry pagers. All Enclosure 13 personnel were initially contacted via pager, followed by calls to home phones and/or cell phones. The automated callout system continues to contact personnel until all ERO positions are acknowledged by a callfrom the responder committing to report to the station within the required time.The licensee conducted a root cause analysis of the failed activation drill. Several changes were made to the ERO automated call-out system that contacts ERO responders.
More phone lines were dedicated to calling Radiation Technicians.
The number of Radiation Technicians contacted for ERO positions required to respond to the site was increased from 10 to 20 personnel.
The automated callout system now contacts personnel via home phone, cell phone, and pager, when positions remain unfilled after the initial call-out system transmission.
A text message is also sent out with the initial page to cell phones.Analvsis:
The failure to fully staff the Radiation Technician positions and Field Monitoring Driver position within the required time is considered a performance deficiency.
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements.
The inspectors determined that the finding was not similar to the examples for minor deficiencies contained in IMC 0612, Appendix E, "Examples of Minor lssues." The finding is more than minor because it affects the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone.
The finding is associated with the ERO readiness attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.
ln accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix B, Sheet 1, "Failure to Comply" flowchart, the performance deficiency screens to green because it is considered a degraded planning standard function.The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, in that FENOC personnel did not etfectively communicate expectations regarding drill participation and staff did not respond in the required time for ERO positions they had accepted in the automated callout system tH.4(b)1.Enforcement:
10 CFR 50.sa(q) requires that FENOC follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which comply with the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(bX2), to ensure timely augmentation of response capabilities is available.
Contrary to the above, FENOC failed to filltwo primary ERO positions required by the Emergency Preparedness Plan during an off-hours, unannounced, activation drill. Because this deficiency is considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), and was entered into the corrective action program (CR 2011-04431), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Unit 2 Emergency AC Power System. Unit 1 High Pressure Injection System. Unit 2 High Pressure Injection System To determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in NEI Document 99-02,"Regulatory Assessment Performance lndicator Guideline," Revision 6. The inspectors also reviewed operator narrative logs, condition reports, mitigating systems performance index derivation reports, event reports, and NRC integrated inspection reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals.
Findinos No findings were identified.
Problem ldentification and Resolution (71152 - 4 samples)Routine Review of Problem ldentification and Resolution Activitigs Inspection Scope As required by Inspection Procedure71152, "Problem ldentification and Resolution," the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that FENOC entered issues into the corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the corrective action program and periodically attended management review board condition report screenings.
Findinqs No findings were identified.
Annual Sample: Review of the Operator Workaround Prooram Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the cumulative effects of the existing operator workarounds, operator burdens, existing operator aids and disabled alarms, and open main control room deficiencies to identify any effect on emergency operating procedure operator actions, and any impact on possible initiating events and mitigating systems. The b.4c.42.1 a.b.,2 Enclosure
.3 b.a.15 inspectors
evaluated whether station personnel had identified, assessed, and reviewed operator workarounds as specified in FENOC procedure NOBP-OP-OO12, "Operator Work-Arounds, Burdens, and Control Room Deficiencies." The inspectors reviewed FENOC's process to identify, prioritize and resolve main control room distractions to minimize operator burdens. The inspectors reviewed the system used to track these operator workarounds and recent self assessments of the program.The inspectors also toured the control room and discussed the current operator workarounds with the operators to ensure the items were being addressed on a schedule consistent with their relative safety significance.
Findinos and Observations No findings were identified.
Annual Sample: Deqradino Trend in Operations Procedure Content and Usaqe Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an in-depth review of FENOC's corrective actions associated with the full apparent cause for condition report CR 10-82360 and limited apparent cause for condition report CR 11-88214 regarding Operations procedure usage and content during the third and fourth quarters of 2Q10.The inspectors assessed FENOC's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, and the prioritization and timeliness of FENOC's corrective actions to determine whether FENOC was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with the procedure usage by operations department personnel.
Findinqs and Observations No findings were identified.
FENOC's cause analyses identified that errors in procedures was a significant contributor to errors made by operations personnel.
A significant backlog of procedural changes exists on site, and prior to the CR 10-82360, prioritization of procedure changes was not effectively managed. Operators were identifying procedure issues in the corrective action program, but procedure corrections were not being addressed in a timely manner commensurate with the frequency and safety importance of the procedure usage. FENOC is now actively managing the document change request list with a backlog reduction plan that includes weekly updates to management.
Human performance was not recognized as a significant contributor in the analysis and corrective actions.CR 11 -88214 assessed the human performance aspect of the errors that occurred in 2010. A decline in procedure adherence was identified in the analysis.
The corrective actions directed management to reinforce standards to operations regarding the importance of procedural compliance.
Operations human performance has started to decfine in the Clearance/Tagging Program, NOP-OP-1001, implementation, as evidenced by CR 2011-04088, "lnadvertent de-energization of MCC-2-14," b.Enclosure

clearance posting causes trip of 'C' chiller" in the fourth quarter af 2011. While not adversely affecting safety related equipment, human performance by Operations has not exhibited a high level of attention to detail to FENOC clearance program procedures, which are general field references.
There has been an improvement in step-by-step procedure usage by Operations personnel in the fourth quarter of 2011.Annual Sample: Radiation Protection and Chemistrv Safetv Conscious Work Environment 2010/201 1 Survev Results Inspection Scope The inspectors performed an in-depth review of FENOC's corrective actions associated with the full apparent cause for condition reports CR-10-83224 and 10-83492 regarding multiple negative responses in the 2010 Radiation Protection and Chemistry department safety conscious work environment (SCWE) survey.The inspectors assessed FENOC's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, and the prioritization and timeliness of FENOC's corrective actions to determine whether FENOC was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with the negative responses identified in the SCWE survey. The inspectors reviewed the 2011 and 2010 SCWE survey results for the site.Interviews were conducted by inspectors to assess employees'willingness to raise safety concerns onsite. Condition reports generated by Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnelwere reviewed by inspectors.
lnspectors also performed observations of site personnel response to issues discovered in the field, Findinqs and Observations No findings were identified.
FENOC identified several communication issues between Radiation Protection and Chemistry management and staff that is a potential driver of the negative responses in the annual SCWE survey. Based on inspector interviews and discussions with Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel, the staff is aware of various means of raising safety concerns on site. The employee concerns program is consistently used throughout the year by FENOC employees.
2011 Chemistry SCWE survey results improved from the 2010 results. Radiation Protection SCWE survey results remained unchanged.
Inspectors reviewed a sampling of condition reports to determine if Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel were identifying issues through the corrective action process. Condition reports denote if the issue is identified by an individual, supervisor, oversight or is self-revealing.
Based on a random sampling of thirty{hree condition reports generated in the past three months by the Radiation Protection group, over half were identified by individuals.
Twenty-two condition reports generated by Chemistry personnel in the last three months were reviewed, with approximately 65% of issues identified by individuals.
The inspectors determined that, combined with the inspectors'daily review of condition reports, issues are being raised by individuals on site.a.b.Enclosure 17 40A6 Meetinqs.
