| Title | Failure to Perform Evaluations on Boric Acid Leaks |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the failure to adequately perform boric acid leak evaluations for boric acid leaks as required by the Boric Acid Program. The licensee entered this issue into its CAP and was evaluating corrective actions at the end of the inspection period. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown, as well as power operations. The inspectors used IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4,Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Initiating Events Cornerstone, dated January 10, 2008, and determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue did not result in exceeding the Technical Specification (TS) limit for identified reactor coolant system (RCS) leakage or affect other mitigating systems resulting in a total loss of their safety function. The inspectors also determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practices component, because the licensee did not effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel following procedures H.4(b).
