| Title | Inadequate Process Necessary for Notification of Oros During an Emergency Declaration |
| Description | A self-revealing NCV of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) and the requirements of Section lV.D.3 of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 was identified on June 13, 2012, because NextEra did not notify the state of Massachusetts within 15 minutes of declaring an emergency at the Seabrook Station. Specifically, the inspectors determined that NextEra did not maintain the sites off-site notification process in a manner that ensured that the RSPS function described by 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) could be met with the multiple equipment malfunctions that occurred between June 12 and June 14, 2012. The issue was entered into NextEras corrective action program as CR 1775909. The performance deficiency was considered more than minor because it was associated with the Emergency Preparedness (EP) cornerstone attributes of Procedure Quality and Facilities and Equipment, and 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, EP equipment was not treated as equipment important to safety and thus marginal equipment performance with regard to the NAS was tolerated, and the notification process implementing procedure was cumbersome such that it did ensure timely notification when presented with equipment failures. The inspectors assessed the issue, related to the notification process, using the Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process (Appendix B to IMC 0609) and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution - CAP because NextEra did not consistently enter issues with communications equipment necessary for EP purposes into the stations CAP such that immediate corrective actions could be taken to ensure the RSPS function was met |
