Title | TS Channel Calibration of ESF Steam Line Protection Channel III Not Performed |
Description | A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS Section 3.3.2, Engineered Safety Features Actuation Instrumentation, (ESF) was identified when the licensee failed to perform the channel calibration of Unit 3 ESF steam pressure protection channel III within the required 18-month frequency which resulted in operation with steam generator pressure transmitter PT-3-495 inoperable for approximately 10 months. This issue was placed in the licensees CAP as AR 1938191. Corrective actions included replacing PT-3-495, performing an extent of condition on all other work orders completed during the extended power uprate (EPU) outage to ensure TS compliance, and revising the surveillance tracking program procedure to require verification that the required surveillance testing is completed prior to crediting non-dedicated work orders. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure to perform the channel calibration surveillance test procedure for transmitter PT-3-495 within the 18- month required frequency resulted in 10 months of channel inoperability. The finding was screened using Exhibit 1, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, found in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power (June 19, 2012). The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not affect design or qualification, did not represent a loss of system function, and did not represent an actual loss of function of a technical specification train of equipment. The finding was associated with a cross-cutting aspect in the work management component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to implement their process for planning, controlling, and executing required surveillance tests (H.5). |
