| Title | Failure to Identify Oil Leakage on a Operating Charging Pump |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding for the licensees failure to identify an oil leak on the A charging pump. This failure was determined to be a performance deficiency with respect to licensee procedure OMM-001-11, Logkeeping, which requires oil leakage be identified and abnormal conditions reported to shift management. The licensee responded by stopping the A charging pump to verify proper oil level. An addition of 6.5 quarts was required to restore the oil level to normal. Additionally, to maintain operability, the licensee established a compensatory action to stop the A charging pump every three days to verify oil level until the oil leak was repaired. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as AR 360876360876 The finding is more than minor because if left uncorrected the performance deficiency would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Given the history of continuous operation of the charging pumps for up to 37 days, if the identified oil leak remained uncorrected, a loss of lubrication failure of the A charging pump would occur. The charging pumps are technical specification required equipment and are used in the emergency operating procedures to mitigate the consequences of an event. This finding was determined to be green because no loss of operability or functionality of the A charging pump resulted from the identified oil leakage. The apparent cause of this finding was a failure to implement a procedural requirement to identify and communicate an oil leak to shift management. The inspectors determined no cross-cutting aspect was associated with this performance deficiency |
