| Title | Failure to Perform Announced Fire Drills In Accordance With Fire Protection Program Plan |
| Description | The NRC staff identified a preliminary finding of low-to-moderate safety significance for the licensees failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved Fire Protection Program as described in the licensees Fire Protection Program Plan, and as referenced in the Updated Safety Analysis Report. Specifically, from at least August 2009 through December 2011, the licensee failed to perform required quarterly announced fire drills in that the announced fire drills were instead conducted as training sessions. The licensee documented this issue in the corrective action program as condition report (CR) 0456865 and the licensee continued to perform causal evaluations to determine the cause of the issue and develop long-term corrective actions. In January 2012, as a result of an apparent cause evaluation (ACE), the licensee took remedial corrective actions to ensure fire brigade drills were performed as required. In addition, several other corrective actions were implemented as a result of the ACE conducted in 2012. The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Protection Against External Factors for Fire and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability and capability of the fire brigade to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the fire brigades ability to rapidly suppress fires and protect structures, systems and components, important to safety from potential fires that could prevent safe shutdown. The NRC staff determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012. Because the finding involved the Fire Brigade, Table 3, SDP Appendix Router, Section E.1, Fire Protection, directed NRC staff to use IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, Section D.1.a, Fire Brigade, was checked yes because the finding involved the Fire Brigade training and qualification requirements. Because none of the other questions in Section D were checked, the NRC staff continued to evaluate the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix M, The Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria, dated April 12, 2012. Based on the evaluation of the decision attributes contained in Appendix M, the NRC staff determined this finding to preliminarily have a low to moderate safety significance (White). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practices, because the licensee failed to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities such that nuclear safety is supported (H.4(c)). This cross-cutting aspect coincides with the licensees conclusions in an apparent cause evaluation that determined that there was inadequate management/oversight of the fire drill program within the licensees organization, which directly contributed to the issue. |
