| Title | Inadequate Test Acceptance Criteria for Auxiliary Component Cooling Check Valves |
| Description | The inspectors identified a NCV of very low safety significance related to 10CFR 50.55a, Codes and standards, because Entergys procedure, 2-PT-Q031A for an auxiliary component cooling water pump, did not contain appropriate acceptance criteria for positively determining that safety-related check valves performed their safety function when required in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) OM Code. Specifically, the test used reverse rotation of a parallel pump to verify that the pumps discharge check valve was closed although previous site-specific experience demonstrated that the pump impeller would not rotate backwards when the check valve was stuck open. Entergy entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR-2009-1312.The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was greater than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone and it adversely affected the cornerstones objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the test criterion used in procedure 2-PT-Q013A did not ensure that valve755A reliably performed its safety function when tested as demonstrated by testing performed in January 2005. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was of very low safety significance (Green) IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings. Specifically, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance because the finding did not result in a loss of safety function and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to external events initiating events. The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect related to effective corrective actions in the corrective action program component of the problem identification and resolution area. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not implement effective corrective actions to resolve the testing inadequacy since 2005 and during subsequent quarterly testing. (P.1(d) per IMC 0305 |
