| Title | Inadequate Assessment of 4k Emergency Switchgear Roll-Up Door Degraded Floor Gasket |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding associated with Exelon procedure, OP-AA-108-115, Operability Determinations, because Exelon did not adequately assess a degraded floor gasket for the D emergency 4 kilovolt (kV) switchgear roll-up door. Specifically, Exelon did not adequately assess the flood and fire functionality of the degraded gasket, which is credited to provide protection to safety-related D emergency 4kV switchgear during a postulated internal flood event and to contain the carbon dioxide (CO2) gaseous suppression system during a postulated fire within the D switchgear room. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program. Planned corrective actions include reinforcing the operability determination procedure and enhancing operator training in fire and flood functionality of gaskets. Additional corrective actions included repairing the gasket and performing a detailed analysis of the ability of degraded gasket to meet its flooding and fire function. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the degraded floor gasket could have resulted in increased water level in the D emergency 4kV switchgear room during a postulated internal flood due to a fire water pipe rupture, therefore affecting the reliability of the D emergency 4k switchgear to perform its safety function. In addition, the degraded floor gasket could have resulted in CO2 leakage out of the D emergency 4k switchgear room during a postulated fire in that room, therefore affecting the reliability of the D emergency 4k switchgear gaseous suppression system to perform its safety function. The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because it is a deficiency that affected the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component (SSC), where the SSC maintained its operability or functionality. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because Exelon did not thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that resolutions address the causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, Exelon staff did not thoroughly evaluate the issue associated with the degraded floor gasket for fire and flood functionality. |
