| Title | Failure to Maintain a Standard EAL Scheme |
| Description | An AV was identified for failure to follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which use a standard emergency classification and action level scheme. Specifically, the licensee's emergency plan emergency action level (EAL) 1.4, General Emergency - Gaseous Effluent, specified instrument values that were beyond the limits of the effluent radiation monitors capabilities to accurately measure. This finding was considered more than minor because the licensee is required to be capable of implementing adequate measures to protect public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency. Regulations require a standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases which include facility system and effluent parameters, in use by the licensee and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by the licensee for determination of minimum initial offsite response measures. As a result of having General Emergency EAL threshold values that were beyond the range of the associated effluent radiation monitors, Crystal River Unit 3 personnel may not have been able to perform timely and accurate classification of an emergency based upon an effluent radioactive material release. Emergency response actions directed by the State and local emergency response plans, which rely on information provided by the licensee, could have potentially been delayed. The cause of the finding is related to the human performance cross-cutting element of Decision-making (H.1(a)) for ensuring that risk-significant decisions are made using a systematic process and obtaining interdisciplinary input and reviews. - THIS FINDING WAS LICENSEE IDENTIFIED |
