| Title | Failure to Implement TS Requirements Resulting From Loss of Configuration Control of the 3C Main Steam Isolation Valve |
| Description | A Self-Revealing Non-cited violation of TS 3.7.1.5 requirements was identified when the Unit 3 C main steam isolation valve (MSIV) failed to close on demand on May4, 2009. Licensee evaluation has found the root cause of the failure to be an inadequate post maintenance test after maintenance that resulted in the air throttle valve for the MSIV being left in the closed position. When identified, the licensee placed the throttle valve in the correct position and tested the valve stroke time satisfactorily. The licensee documented this in CR 2009-13568.The finding was more than minor because it affected the Configuration Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and the failure of the MSIV to close when demanded challenged the integrity of the main steam system for isolating steam system or generator tube ruptures. The inspectors evaluated the finding using NRC Inspection Manual 0609, Attachment 0609.04, SDP Phase 1 and SDP Phase 2. An initial SDP Phase 2 screening of the finding revealed a greater than green result for Large Early Release Probability (LERF) and Phase 3 was required. A Regional Senior Reactor Analyst performed a Phase 3 evaluation of the performance deficiency and classified the finding of very low safety significance (Green). The major assumption was predicated on the information in NUREG 1806, Technical Basis for Revision of the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Screening Limit in the PTS Rule (10CFR50.61), which indicated that the possibility of core damage was remote following an extreme cool down due to a Main Steam Line Break without isolation. The cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Practices, Human Performance & Error Prevention (H.4(a)) was affected when personnel did not practice error prevention techniques such as self and peer checking, and properly document activities |
