| Title | No Procedure for Debris in Transformed and Tank Yards Prior to Severe Weather |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Administrative Procedures, for having no procedure to address onsite debris impacting plant equipment during severe weather. The inspectors walked down external areas of the plant on June 1 and June 9, 2011, prior to the onset of predicted severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. The inspectors found loose debris each time and brought it to the attention of the licensee who secured the materials. The inspectors walked down the transformer yard and tank yard during a thunderstorm on June 16 and found loose debris such as plywood, trash, wood planks, and fiberglass planks. The inspectors brought this to the attention of Wolf Creek and the materials were removed or secured. Wolf Creek initiated several condition reports but they only addressed immediate cleanup. Wolf Creek procedures had no steps for securing potential wind-driven projectiles prior to severe weather. After June 16, Wolf Creek wrote Condition Report 40573 which started a weekly maintenance activity to remove loose materials and added procedure steps to have operations walk down external areas prior to severe weather. This finding was more than minor because it impacted the protection against external factors attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone, and it 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. The inspectors evaluated this finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green) for June 16, 2011, because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment would be unavailable since the reactor was shutdown. Inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix G, Checklist 4 for the other occurrences because Wolf Creek was in Modes 4 or 5. The finding again screened to Green because it did not increase the likelihood of a loss of inventory, did not cause the loss of reactor coolant system instrumentation, did not degrade the ability of the licensee to terminate a leak path or add inventory when needed, or degrade the ability to recover residual heat removal if it was lost. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, specifically the corrective action program attribute because licensees short-term corrective actions failed to ensure debris was secured or removed prior to severe weather |
