The inspectors identified a non-cited viol … The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of facility operating license DPR-77 condition 2.C.(16) and facility operating license DPR-79 condition 2.C.(13) for failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, Sequoyahs Fire Protection Report Part II, Section 9.3.b.2 Fire Drills requires a minimum of one drill per shift every calendar quarter, a minimum on one unannounced drill per shift per year, at least one drill per shift per year is performed on a backshift for each fire brigade, and fire brigade members including leaders shall participate in at least two drills per year. The inspectors identified multiple examples of the licensees failure to meet these requirements in calendar years 2010 and 2011. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Report (PER) 513378, 512736, and 527875. The performance deficiency was determined to be greater than minor because it was associated with the protection against external events attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the lack of adequate drill performance could negatively affect the fire brigades capability to combat a fire. Findings associated with performance of the fire brigade are not evaluated using IMC 0609, Attachment F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, and require NRC management review using Appendix M, Significance Determination Process Using Qualitative Criteria, as described in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, Table 3b, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings. Regional management concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it involved fire drill training rather than performance during an actual fire event. The finding was determined to have a crosscutting aspect in the Resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area since the licensee failed to ensure that personnel are available and adequately trained to assure nuclear safety.equately trained to assure nuclear safety.
