| Title | Failure to Meet the Minimum Staffing Requirements of the Fire Brigade |
| Description | An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Section 48(c) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805 Section 3.4.1 was identified for the failure to meet the minimum staffing requirements for the Fire Brigade on January 4 and 5, 2016. Specifically, two nuclear plant operators (NPOs) who had their Fire Brigade qualifications suspended, stood watch as Fire Brigade members during day shift on January 4, 2016 and approximately one half of day shift on January 5, 2016. The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2016-00198, performed an apparent cause evaluation, successfully performed a fire drill to requalify the Fire Brigade members with suspended qualifications on January 6, 2016, and planned to update the tracking method used to validate drill completion for Fire Brigade qualifications. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Protection Against External Factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The finding screened as having very low safety significance based on using qualitative criteria located in IMC 0609, Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Documentation in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the licensee informally tracked drill completion and this information was not accessible to each individual Fire Brigade member to validate their qualifications [H.7]. |
