| Title | Failure of Full-Scale Drill Critique to Identify an RSPS Weakness |
| Description | Inspectors identified a Green NCV associated with emergency preparedness planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and the requirements of Section lV.F.2.g of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. Specifically, PPL personnel did not identify an Emergency Response Organization (ERO) performance weakness associated with an untimely notification of an emergency declaration during their critique following the full-scale emergency preparedness (EP) drill. In the case of ERO performance, simulator equipment issues prevented the ability of drill controllers to satisfactorily evaluate performance of the ERO and PPL staff did not identify that all off-site response organizations (OROs) were not notified within fifteen minutes. The critique deficiency was entered into PPLs CAP as CR 1648380. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the ERO attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that PPL staff are capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. The inspectors assessed the issue, related to the failure to make a timely notification to the OROs, using NRC IMC 0609 Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process. PPL\'s drill critique not identifying the untimely notification met the NRC\'s definition of a weakness in a full-scale drill. However, because of the unique nature of the equipment failures associated with the notification of the first ORO, inspectors determined that the failure to critique the drill weakness only constituted a degradation of the planning standard (PS) function. Therefore the finding is characterized as very low safety significance (Green). The finding is related to the cross-cutting area of PI&R, CAP, in that PPL staff did not identify a risk significant planning standard (RSPS) performance issue completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with the safety significance. Specifically, during the critique of the full-scale drill conducted on October 14, 2012, PPL staff did not recognize and critique that an RSPS was not met and did not place this issue into the CAP until prompted by inspectors. |
