| Title | Failure to Assure EECW Design Basis Capability |
| Description | Green . An NRC- identified non- cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III was identified for the licensee's failure to correctly translate the design basis of the EECW system into technical instruction 0 -TI-579(EECW). The effects of instrument uncertainty and diesel frequency variations were not considered when establishing the minimum allowed inservice test low alert pump flow limits . As an immediate corrective action, the licensee evaluated the operability of the EECW pump and initiated corrective action to make changes to the test criteria and/or the system design analysis . The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR 1288208. The performance deficiency was more- than- minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective in that there was a reasonable doubt on the operability of the B3 EECW pump since portions of the adjusted pump curve would be below the minimum pump curve established in the design basis calcul ation. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in available margin for the pump under design basis conditions. The finding was determined to be Green because the finding was a deficiency affecting the design of a mitigating system, but the pump maintained its operability. The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross -cutting aspect of Human Performance (H.6 ) within the cross -cutting area of De sign Margins because engineers did not demonstrate the characteristic of ensuring that design margins were guarded and changed only through a systematic and rigorous process . |
