| Title | Inadequate Compensatory Measures to Ensure the Effectiveness of an EAL |
| Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) for FENOCs failure to follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). Specifically, following the failure of the area radiation monitor (ARM) for the Unit 2 primary auxiliary building 773 elevation on April 23, 2016, FENOC did not establish adequate compensatory measures to ensure the effectiveness of the emergency action level (EAL) for loss of control of radioactive material, RU2. FENOCs immediate corrective actions included establishing appropriate compensatory measures for RU2, communicating the standards of EAL compensatory measures to radiation protection technicians verbally and via narrative logs, and entering this issue into their CAP as CR 2016-05975. The performance deficiency is more-than-minor because it is associated with the Facilities and Equipment attribute of the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that FENOC is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, FENOCs failure to establish adequate compensatory measures for an out-of-service ARM could have resulted in exceeding a NOUE EAL threshold for a loss of control of radioactive material without the condition being recognized until further degradation in the level of plant safety occurs. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it was example of an ineffective EAL, such that a notification of unusual event (NOUE) would not be declared or would be declared in a degraded manner. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in Human Performance, Documentation, because FENOC did not ensure that plant activities are governed by comprehensive procedures [H.7]. |
