| Title | RHR Pump Suction Pressure Gages Repeatedly Found To Be Out of Tolerance |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XII, AControl of Measuring and Test Equipment,@ was identified by the team for the failure to correct a known trend of out of tolerance (OOT) test pressure gauge which were used in a critical In Service Test (IST) Program performance test of the residual heat removal (RHR) pumps for Units 1 and 2. The licensee entered this issue into its corrective action and confirmed operability of the RHR pumps. The finding was determined to be more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it could become a more significant safety concern. Specifically, since the cause of the high frequency OOT conditions for these pressure gauges has not been identified, it could be assumed that this instrumentation could be out of tolerance in a non-conservative manner. The finding was determined to be of very low significance because the comprehensive IST performance test conducted during the 2008 refueling outage showed that the actual test results were within the acceptable band, thereby confirming that operability and functionality of the RHR pumps had not been lost. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources because the licensee did not ensure adequate resources were available to minimize long-standing equipment issues.
