UNANALYZED CONDITION DUE TO IDENTIFIED NON COMPLIANT FIRE PROTECTION MANUAL OPERATOR ACTIONS
"During performance of NFPA-805 Transition Project Task SUP-1, 'Manual Action Compliance,' it was determined there were 11 non-compliant manual operator actions that were being performed to achieve and maintain hot safe shutdown in Fire Area A06 (1B32 area). These manual actions were being performed in an Appendix R Section III.G.1/G.2 fire area, however, they do not meet the criteria for allowable manual actions specified in RIS 2006-10, 'Regulatory Expectations with Appendix R Paragraph III.G.2 Operator Manual Actions.'
"The discovery of these non-compliant manual actions is being reported as an unanalyzed condition as defined by 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii). Appropriate compensatory measures have been established for Fire Area A06 via initiation of hourly fire rounds. An extent of condition review has been initiated that will encompass the remainder of the safe shutdown areas in both Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) units. The results of the extent of condition will be documented in the site's corrective action program with compensatory measures being established as appropriate. The 60-day licensee event report, submitted to the Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)ii), will provide the results of the manual action compliance review and follow-up corrective actions.
"The PBNP Resident Inspector has been notified of this event."
