| Title | Failure to Perform an Adequate Extent-of-Condition Review for Water Identified in the Technical Support Center Diesel Fuel Storage Tank |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for Ginnas failure to establish measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. Specifically, Ginna did not establish measures to promptly identify and correct accumulated water in the B emergency diesel generator (EDG) underground fuel oil storage tank. Subsequently, on November 8, 2012, Ginna identified 1.75 inches of water in the B EDG underground fuel oil storage tank and declared the EDG inoperable. Immediate corrective actions included entering this issue into the corrective action program as CR-2012-7792 and CR-2012-8407, and immediately pumping out, collecting and assessing the amount of water identified in the B EDG underground fuel storage tank. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, the finding is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, example 3.j., issued August 11, 2009, in that the water identified in the B EDG underground fuel oil storage tank created a reasonable doubt of operability of the B EDG, because the level of water exceeded the operability limit specified in the monitoring plan. Using IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, Checklist 4, the inspectors determined this finding did not increase the likelihood of a loss of reactor coolant system (RCS) inventory, did not degrade Ginnas ability to terminate a leak path or add RCS inventory when needed, and did not degrade Ginnas ability to recover decay heat removal once it is lost. Therefore, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because Ginna personnel did not thoroughly evaluate problems such that the resolutions addressed causes and extent of conditions. |
