| Title | Longstanding Issues Regarding Thermal Performance Testing Were Not Corrected |
| Description | The licensee identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, XVI, Corrective Actions. This regulation requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies and non-conformances, are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to this, on September 27, 2011, the licensee identified that since at least January 16, 2006, a known condition adverse to quality have not been corrected. Specifically, the licensee noted the actions taken to correct the previously identified failure to complete thermal performance testing of the SFP and CCW heat exchangers have been untimely. Completion of these tests is required to meet licensees commitments made in response to GL 89-13 and License Renewal. However, the evaluation of the test results have not been completed because the licensee identified some errors associated with the test uncertainties. As a result, the licensee initiated AR01690475, performed an ACE, issued a Nuclear Oversight finding, and planned to complete the thermal performance testing of the affected heat exchangers by summer 2013. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to complete the tests has the potential for an unacceptable condition to go undetected affecting the operability of the affected heat exchangers. The inspectors evaluated the issue using IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Tables 2 and 3, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2 for the Mitigating System Cornerstone, and answered Yes to Question A.1 of the mitigating SSCs and functionality questions; therefore, the issue screened as very low safety significance |
