Title | Failure to Properly Control Operations Staff Overtime |
Description | An NRC-identified non-cited violation (NCV) of Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) 6.2.2 and Unit 2 TS 5.2.2, \"Unit Staff,\" was identified for not properly implementing and maintaining procedures for controlling plant staff work hours of personnel performing safety-related activities. Specifically, over 400 overtime deviations were approved between July 2007 and April 2008 for Operations personnel to work greater than procedurally established work hour limits for routine outage support activities during outages and other reasons not permitted by TS. Corrective actions were being developed to increase qualified operator levels. The finding was greater than minor because, if left uncorrected, it would become a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the excessive work hours would increase the likelihood of human errors during plant activities and response to plant events. The finding has been reviewed by NRC management in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix M, \"Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria.\" Although the increased likelihood of human error would adversely affect the stations defense-in-depth, the violation was determined to be of very low significance because no significant events or human performance issues were directly linked to personnel fatigue as a result of the hours worked. The issue had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance because the licensee did not use conservative assumptions in decision making, in that, the consequences of the high number of overtime deviations were not fully considered and the possible unintended consequences evaluated. (H.1.b per IMC 0305). (Section 4OA5 |
