| Title | Failure of Exercise Critique to Identify a RSPSWeakness |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reglations (10 CFR) 50.47(b)(14) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, Section IV.F.2.g. Specifically, Seabrook did not identify and critique a weakness associated with a risk significant planning standard (RSPS) during their critique following the August 30, 2017, emergency preparedness drill. The weakness involved the licensees declaration of a general emergency (GE) that was based on insufficient information. NextEra entered the issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as AR2242073.The inspectors determined that not identifying an exercise weakness related to a GE classification based on insufficient information during the exercise critique was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within the ability of Seabrook to foresee and prevent. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Emergency Response Organization attribute of the Emergency Preparedness Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Specifically, Seabrook personnel did not identify an exercise weakness associated with a RSPS when the incorrect basis for a GE declaration was used by the Site Emergency Director (SED). The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued October 7, 2016. This attachment directs inspectors to utilize IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process, issued September 22, 2015, because the finding andthe associated weakness is in the licensees emergency preparedness cornerstone. The inspectors determined the finding was a critique finding, the drill scope was full scale, the planning standard was risk-significant, and the performance opportunity was a success utilizing figure 5.14-1, Significance Determination for Critique Findings, and thus determined this finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Change Management, in that leaders use a systematic process for evaluating and implementing change so that nuclear safety remains the overriding priority. Specifically, although recent changes to the sites emergency classification and action level standard scheme were effective on July 2017, the new EAL procedure and training regarding the changes lacked sufficient specificity to ensure the users understood the new scheme with respect to the status of the containment integrity.
