| Title | Failure to Identify the Root Cause of the Failure of the 1B Standby Liquid Control Pump Breaker |
| Description | An NRC identified non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensees failure to adequately identify the root cause for a significant condition adverse to quality as defined in NPG-SPP-22.302 Revision 1, Corrective Action Program Screening and Oversight. Specifically, the licensee initially failed to identify the root cause of the failure of the 1B Standby Liquid Control (SLC) Pump breaker that resulted in the equipment exceeding the Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation. The issue was documented in the licensees corrective action program as Service Request (SR) 851718. This performance deficiency was more than minor since it adversely affected the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of availability and reliability of affected equipment. Specifically, the failure to determine the cause of a crack in the breakers phase arc chute that fatigued over time impacted the ability to assign effective corrective actions to prevent recurrence and challenges the reliability of the safety-related equipment to provide required reactivity control capability when required for accident mitigation. The inspectors evaluated the risk of this finding using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings at Power. This determination was based on the evaluation that the inoperable equipment did not concurrently affect a single reactor protection system (RPS) trip signal to initiate a reactor scram, nor did it involve control manipulations that unintentionally added positive reactivity or result in a mismanagement of reactivity by operators. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, in the component of Evaluation, since the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance (P.2). |
