Title | Inadequate C.1 Startup Procedure Review |
Description | A finding of very low safety significance and non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was self-revealed when an unexpected recirculation pump runback occurred during the performance of Reactor Dynamics Testing. The event was the result of the licensee failing to adequately assess the operational impact of a recent revision to Procedure C.1, Startup Procedure, which resulted in operating the plant in a manner that challenged feedwater pump protective features. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP 01288070) and initiated corrective actions to address the issue. The inspectors determined that the contributing cause that provided the most insight into the performance deficiency was associated with the cross-cutting area of Human Performance, having decision-making components, and involving aspects associated with the licensee conducting effectiveness reviews of safety-significant decisions to verify the validity of the underlying assumptions, identify possible unintended consequences, and determine how to improve future decisions. H.1(b) The finding was more than minor because it impacted the procedure quality attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. The inspectors applied IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, to this finding. The inspectors utilized Column 1 of the Table 4a worksheet to screen the finding. The inspectors answered No to the questions associated with loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) initiators, transient initiators, and external events initiator, and screened the finding to be of very low safety significance. |
