| Title | Scaffold Installed with Insufficient Separation from Safety Related Equipment |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations(10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, because PSEG did not ensure adequate separation was maintained between temporary scaffolding and safety related equipment per procedure MA-AA-796-024, Scaffold Installation, Inspection and Removal. Specifically, 12 instances of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified by the inspectors with inadequate clearance to safety related equipment specified in PSEG procedures and no corresponding engineering evaluations to support these deviations. PSEGs corrective actions (C/As) included entering all of these discrepancies into their corrective action program (CAP), conducting walk downs of all scaffolding near safety related equipment, and initiating an operations standing order to ensure all scaffolding is reviewed by operations prior to and during installation.This issue was more than minor because it affected the protection against external factors (seismic) attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and its objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, 12 instances of scaffolding installed in the plant were identified by the inspectors with inadequate clearance to safety related equipment specified in PSEG procedures and no corresponding engineering evaluations to support these deviations. Additionally, this performance deficiency was similar to example 4.a in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, issued August 11, 2009, which states that the issue of failing to appropriately evaluate scaffold installation as required by procedures is more than minor if the licensee routinely failed to perform engineering evaluations on similar issues, or if the later evaluation determined that safety related equipment was adversely affected. The issue was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, dated July 1, 2012, and determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it did not involve the loss or degradation of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate a seismic event. This finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Human Performance, Field Presence, because PSEG managers did not ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including contractors and supplemental personnel, such that nuclear safety is supported. Specifically, all of the scaffolding deficiencies that were identified by the inspectors had been in place for weeks without being noticed by PSEG personnel or supplemental workforce. [H.2] |
