| Title | Failure to Declare an Unusual Event During an Actual Event |
| Description | A self-revealing Green NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 50.54(q)(2), Part 50.47(b)(4), and Appendix E, Section IV.C.2, was identified for the failure to declare a Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE), during an actual event. Specifically, on November 1, 2016, Farley Unit 1 experienced conditions that met Emergency Action Level (EAL) HU3, Release of Toxic, Asphyxiant, or Flammable Gases Deemed Detrimental to Normal Operation of the Plant. The failure to declare a NOUE during an actual event was considered a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone attribute of Emergency Response Organization Performance (actual event response), and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring that a licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, on November 1, 2016, Farley Unit 1 experienced conditions that met EAL HU3 for declaring a NOUE when toxic gas (ammonia) was detected in a vital area, which is also part of the owner controlled area. The performance deficiency is associated with the Emergency Classification Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and Appendix E Section IV.C.2, and is considered a Risk Significant Planning Standard (RSPS). The failure to declare a NOUE when directed by the EAL Matrix is considered a lost or degraded RSPS in accordance with Section 4 of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix B. Section 4.3.e of IMC 0609, Appendix B, provides the significance determination for a Failure to Implement, and the performance deficiency was determined to be of a low safety significance (Green). The finding was also determined to be associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the Training component of the Human Performance area because the organization did not provide adequate training to the various ERO members involved in this event to ensure knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce, and instill nuclear safety values [H.9] |
