| Title | Failue to Ensure Operator Knowledge of Equipment Status |
| Description | The team identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for a failure to follow Procedure EN-OP-115, Conduct of Operations . Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that control room operators knew the status of equipment at all times. While interviewing the person responsible for tracking plant deficiencies, the inspectors discovered that the licensee had two separate governing procedures. These two instructions had different definitions for categories of plant deficiencies and different databases for tracking them. The inspectors then interviewed the on-shift operators in the control room and reviewed both databases. The inspectors identified several issues, including lack of knowledge by the control room operators about which procedure to use, failure to track deficiencies in both databases, and inadequate classification of deficiencies. The inspectors determined that in March 2010, the licensee changed their process for tracking deficiencies to be consistent with their fleet reporting process. However, the licensee did not revise the procedure and did not train all affected personnel on the new process. As a result, control room operators did not have a complete and accurate knowledge of all plant deficiencies. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2012- 03732. The failure to ensure that operators were aware of the status of all plant equipment was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement a procedure designed to ensure operators were aware of deficiencies in the instrumentation, controls, and operation of nuclear plant systems. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, the issue was determined to affect the Initiating Events Cornerstone. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings at Power, the issue was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because it did not cause a reactor trip and did not cause the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area, work practices component, in that the licensee failed to define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance, and personnel did not follow procedures |
