| Title | Inadequate Procedures for Reduced Inventory with an Intact Reactor Coolant System |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of TS 5.4.1, Procedures, was identified by the inspectors for the failure to protect all of the safety equipment necessary for safe shutdown while in reduced inventory with the reactor coolant system (RCS) intact. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that an auxiliary feedwater source and steam generator (SG) were available for decay heat removal when a reduced inventory condition was entered and the RCS was intact. The licensees responses to Generic Letter 88-17, Loss of Decay Heat Removal, indicated that the first drain of the RCS to reduced inventory following shutdown could be accomplished with the RCS intact and reflux cooling (with a SG and auxiliary feedwater source) as an alternate decay heat removal path. The licensee was performing a causal evaluation of this issue and developing corrective actions at the end of the assessment period. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of human performance and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not meet the criteria for a Phase 2 or Phase 3 Analysis, as specified in IMC 0609 Appendix G, Attachment 1, Checklist 3. The inspectors also determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that procedures were adequate and accurate to assure nuclear safety H.2(c). (Section 1R20.1 |
