| Title | Failure to Maintain a Standard Emergency Action Level Scheme for Flooding |
| Description | An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, was identified for the failure of the licensee to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency plan. Specifically, from November 6, 2009, to July 21, 2014, the licensee failed to maintain in effect, a standard emergency action level (EAL) scheme by failing to provide effective means for determining flooding water levels which is required to properly classify an ALERT during a probable maximum hurricane (PMH). The licensees corrective actions include painting level indication on the service water building visible to the operator stationed at the service water building to determine when the ALERT flood level is reached. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as NCRs 688613 and 693590. The inspectors determined that the failure to provide reliable and timely indication for operators to adequately implement the ALERT flooding EAL HA 1.5 was a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Facilities and Equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness (EP) cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure 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 licensees ability to classify an ALERT for a flooding event was adversely affected because flood levels could not be adequately determined. In accordance with the IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination, issued February 24, 2012, and Figure 5.4-1, the inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the performance deficiency was a condition where an EAL has been rendered ineffective such that an ALERT would not be declared for a flooding event. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the resources attribute because leaders failed to ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety and declare an ALERT for a PMH.
