Report Description:
We evaluated TVA’s Corrective Action Program (CAP) to determine if the CAP was effective in resolving employee concerns at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant. We determined reinforcement is needed on the importance of addressing CAP condition reports (CRs) in an effective and timely manner. Specifically, we determined some CRs classified as CAP were not resolved effectively because (1) a corrective action did not adequately address a condition, and (2) some actions were not completed by scheduled finish dates. In addition, we identified a CR that was inappropriately closed because a corrective action stated an employee completed a training course that was never taken.
We also identified areas for improvement related to (1) the classification of CRs, (2) CAP education and training, and (3) the routing of anonymous CRs to appropriate personnel.
