| Title | Failure to Maintain Portable Fire Extinguishers in Accordance with Fire Strategy |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an NCV of TS 5.4.1.d when the licensee failed to implement procedures associated with Fire Protection Program Implementation to ensure that portable fire extinguishers were maintained in accordance with the fire strategy. Specifically, on May 1, 2015, the licensee failed to implement fire protection p
an procedures when they failed to control three portable fire extinguishers in the condenser room, a room housing safe shutdown cabling, in accordance with Fire Strategy A.3-12-C. In this case, inspectors found that of the four dry chemical extinguishers required to be stationed in the condenser room, two indicated that they were partially depleted and needed to be recharged, and a third extinguisher was missing entirely. Immediate corrective actions included recharging the partially depleted extinguishers and procuring a portable extinguisher to replace the missing one. This issue was entered into the licensees CAP (CAP 1477246). The inspectors determined that the failure to implement the fire strategy procedure to ensure that condenser room portable fire extinguishers were maintained was a performance deficiency requiring evaluation. The inspectors determined the issue was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612 Appendix B because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Protection Against External Factorsincluding fire, and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Because the plant was shut down, the inspectors assessed the significance of this finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix G, the Shutdown Operations SDP, and determined that it had very low safety significance. The inspectors determined that the contributing cause that provided the most insight into the performance deficiency was associated with the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Identification aspect because of the failure to implement a CAP with a low threshold for identifying issues, and failure to ensure that individuals identify issues completely, accur tely, and in a timely manner in accordance with the program [P.1] |
