| Title | Nonfunctional Sprinklers in the Service Water Building Without Compensatory Measures |
| Description | Green . An NRC- identified Green non -cited violation ( NCV ) of License Condition 2.B.(6), Fire Protection Program, was identified for the licensees failure to implement compensatory measures for nonfunctional sprinklers. Specifically, from January 11, 2017, until January 14, 2017, fire sprinklers were impaired when scaffold ing was built over the service water (SW) system discharge valves without the proper fire protection evaluation and compensatory measures , as required by licensee procedure 0PLP -01.2, Fire Protection System Operability, Action, and Surveillance Requirements . The licensees corrective actions included declaring the sprinklers nonfunctional, and implementing an hourly fire watch and backup suppression until the scaffold could be removed. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program (CAP) as nuclear condition report (NCR) 2091795. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to implement compensatory measures for nonfunctional sprinklers , in accordance with procedure 0PLP -01.2, was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Protection against E xternal Events attribute (i.e. fire) of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, this resulted in nonfunctional sprinklers in a safety -related area without compensatory measures. The finding was screened using NRC IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, dated September 20, 2013, because the finding affected the fixed fire protection system capability. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, Fire Protection S DP Phase 1 Worksheet, dated September 20, 2013, the finding was assigned to the Fixed Fire Protection System category because the nonfunctional sprinklers affected the automatic fire suppression system. Proceeding to Task 1.3.1 of IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green), because with the sprinklers nonfunctional, the reactor was able to reach and maintain safe shutdown. The finding has a cross -cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the field presence attribute because leaders did not observe, coach, and reinforce standards and expectations regarding scaffolding . Deviations from standards and expectations for building scaffolding near fire protection sprinklers were not corrected promptly. [H.2] |
