The inspectors identified a finding of ver … The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, Quality Assurance Program, for the failure to follow a Quality Assurance Program implementing procedure. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform an adequate extent of condition review as required by PIAA125, Corrective Action Program, while evaluating a lack of proficiency in applying the licensing basis for structures, systems and components (SSCs) when implementing the 50.59 process. The licensee documented this issue in their CAP as AR 02641397. Immediate corrective actions included a review of the extent of condition performed by the engineering department and a recommended action of expanding the scope of the review to include additional 50.59 evaluations. The inspectors determined the failure to follow a Quality Assurance Program implementing procedure was more than minor because if left uncorrected it had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, if the extent of condition review is too narrowly assessed there is the potential for other safety significant systems to have been impacted by a lack of proficiency in applying the licensing basis. As a result, the SSCs may not perform their intended safety function as defined in the Updated Safety Analysis Report. Using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, issued June 19, 2012, the finding was screened against all cornerstones and determined to be of very low safety significance because there was no reasonable indication that the criteria in Appendix A were met. The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance, in the aspect of procedure adherence, where individuals follow processes, procedures and work instructions. Specifically, the licensee did not effectively adhere to all available portions of CAP procedures, which led to a narrowly focused extent of condition. (H.8)arrowly focused extent of condition.
