Title | Gas Void in HPSI Suction Line |
Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of TS 5.4.1 for failure to implement and maintain procedural guidance for filling the High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI) lines. Specifically, the licensee used procedure ESSO-01 to fill the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) piping following a system outage ending in September 2007. The procedure failed to ensure that the sub-cooling line to the HPSI suction was filled and the remaining void created reasonable doubt regarding the operability of the ECCS system. The licensee located the void on July 1, 2009, as part of actions related to Generic Letter 2008, declared the train inoperable and successfully eliminated the void on July 2, 2009. Additionally, the issue was placed in the corrective action program as CR PLP-2009-3377The inspectors determined the issue was more than minor per IMC 0612 Appendix B because it affected the Configuration Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone in that it affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. Specifically the void impacted the reliability of a high pressure safety injection pump. The finding screened as Green, or very low safety significance, in IMC 0609 Appendix A, Determining the Significance of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations, using the Phase 1 worksheets because the finding did not result in loss of operability. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, operating experience, because the licensee failed to implement operating experience through changes to station processes (P2(b)). |
