| Title | Failure to Identify and Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality Affecting Pressurizer Safety Valves |
| Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, when Entergy failed to correct a condition adverse to quality associated with the Unit 3 pressurizer safety valves (PSVs). Specifically, following valve lift setpoint failures in 2005 and 2008, Entergy did not complete a cause determination and establish corrective actions. As a result, a PSV (PCV-468) removed from Unit 3 in 2011, lifted at higher than its setpoint pressure due to spring fatigue. Following the 2011 failure, Entergy performed a cause investigation and initiated a corrective action to include spring rate testing in the inspection of the safety valves. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, the finding screened to be of very low safety significance (Green), when all screening questions were answered no. The inspectors determined that no cross-cutting aspect was applicable to this performance deficiency because this finding was not indicative of current licensee performance. |
