| Title | Failure to Perform Required Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspections per National Fire Protection Association Code |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of LaSalle Units 1 and 2 operating licenses, NFP11 section 2.C.(25) and NFP18 section 2.C.(15), respectively, for failing to ensure that the inspection requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 10 for portable fire extinguishers were satisfied. Specifically, on two separate occasions, the licensee failed to perform the required monthly inspection on all applicable portable fire extinguishers in the reactor building due to a deficiency in station procedure, LMSFP21, Monthly Inspection of Portable Fire Extinguishers. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as action requests (ARs) 02574270, 02574457, and 02604244. The failure to meet the inspection requirements of NFPA10 for portable fire extinguishers was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors, including fire, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, this performance deficiency could have led to the failure of a fire extinguisher to perform when called upon by station personnel or the fire brigade. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with IMC 0609 Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because the licensee failed to initially evaluate the issue thoroughly in order to determine the root cause and extent of condition to prevent subsequent inspections from being missed after the issue was brought to their attention by the NRC inspectors [P.2]. |
