| Title | |
| Description | An NRC identified finding (FIN) for failure to meet TVA procedure NETP-116.3, Inservice Testing Program Preconditioning Guidelines, because unacceptable preconditioning of the Unit 2 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) steam supply valve occurred prior to quarterly In-Service Test (IST). Specifically, the preconditioning was unacceptable because the testing sequence was avoidable, it masked the actual asfound condition of the valve, and it could possibly result in an inability to verify the operability of the valve. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee performed an evaluation that determined the valve remained operable. The finding was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR 1159463 . The performance deficiency was more-than-minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Additionally, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency could lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the licensees justification of this particular preconditioning event could be applied to justify additional, avoidable, preconditioning events and possibly result in an inability to verify the operability of components. This finding was evaluated in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2 Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined the finding was Green because the finding was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not result in a loss of function of a single train for greater than its TS allowable outage time, did not result in a loss of function of non-TS equipment, and did not involve the loss of equipment or function specifically designed to mitigate an external event. The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance area of Consistent Process [H.13], because individuals did not complete the required preconditioning evaluation forms described in licensee procedure NETP-116.3, which would have challenged the validity of the licensees original determination of acceptability. |
