| Title | Inadequate Guidance and Invalid Compensatory Measures for Out-of-Service EAL Instrumentation |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) because Entergy did not follow and maintain an emergency plan that meets the requirements of planning standards 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E. Specifically, the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure specified insufficient equipment as the primary method of emergency action level assessment, and directed invalid compensatory measures to be used when the primary method of emergency action level assessment for reactor coolant system leakage was unavailable. Entergy entered these issues into the corrective action program as condition reports CR-PNP-2015-7183 and CR-PNP-2015-7394. Additionally, since the time of this inspection, Entergy completed and issued the new procedure governing equipment important to emergency response. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the emergency response organization performance (program elements not meeting 50.47(b) planning standards) attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, the incomplete procedural guidance and the inadequate compensatory measure could have led to an emergency not being declared in a timely manner. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process. Using Figure 5.4-1, Significance Determination for Ineffective EALs and Overclassification, and the example in Table 5.4-1, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Identification, because Entergy did not ensure that the issues were promptly reported and documented in the corrective action program at a low threshold. Specifically, while performing the extent of condition review of emergency plan implementing procedure EP-IP-100.1, Emergency Action Levels, Entergy did not effectively utilize the corrective action program to identify and correct newly identified deficiencies with the guidance for emergency action level assessment and the invalid compensatory measures. This resulted in the associated degradation of the emergency plan assessment capability remaining in effect |
