| Title | Inadequate Seismic Design Control Associated with a Temporary Modification to Emergency Diesel Generator Service Water Return Piping |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control because Entergy did not adequately analyze, document, or translate seismic considerations for temporary service water hoses installed on the 21 and 23 emergency diesel generator (EDG) heat exchangers during the March 2008 refueling outage. Entergy entered the issue into the corrective action program, evaluated past operability concerns, and added restraints to the temporary service water hoses. The inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of the EDG system during a Seismic Class I design basis event. This finding was evaluated using IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Operational Checklists for Both PWRs [Pressurized Water Reactors] and BWRs [Boiling Water Reactors]. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not degrade the equipment, instrumentation, training or procedures needed for any shutdown safety function. Entergy performed a subsequent operability evaluation which provided reasonable assurance that the EDGs would have performed the safety function during a design basis seismic event. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance because Entergy personnel made non-conservative assumptions regarding the seismic adequacy of the temporary hose modification. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not perform an engineering analysis to validate their assumptions that the temporary service water hoses would not adversely impact the seismic qualification of the EDGs.
