| Title | Failure to Process Vendor Technical Information |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance was identified by the inspectors for the failure to follow site procedure NP 7.2.13, Processing of Vendor Technical Information. Specifically, the licensee failed to process a vendor technical bulletin in accordance with NP 7.2.13. The technical bulletin provided relevant information related to the inspection, adjustment, and replacement of an electrical connector located in some of the licensees safety-related battery chargers. Procedure NP 7.2.13 ensured that relevant vendor correspondence received by the licensee was analyzed to identify specific actions needed to operate and maintain the plant safely. Licensee corrective actions included conducting a condition evaluation, which concluded that a lack of understanding of current vendor technical document process expectations may exist within key departments. The licensee plans to perform information sharing to increase awareness of expectations for processing vendor documents. The finding was determined to be more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the finding had the potential to lead to a more safety significant concern. Specifically, if a degraded connector was not identified and corrected during safety-related battery charger maintenance, the charger may fail to limit current and open the supply breaker to the battery charger. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the Significance Determination Process (SDP) in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green), because the inspectors answered No to the Mitigating Systems screening questions. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Operating Experience (P.5), in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, for the failure to systematically and effectively collect, evaluate, and implement relevant internal and external operating experience in a timely manner. |
