A self-revealing finding (
FIN) was identified for failure to implement selfchecking during Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF) diesel generator (
DG) field flash relay cover reinstallation, resulting in a failure of the relay during post maintenance testing and subsequent loss of the electronic governor. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to correctly install the SSF
DG field flash relay cover was a performance deficiency. The finding was considered to be more than minor because it affected the
mitigating systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to
initiating events. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green), based on the Phase 1 screening criteria found in
MC 0609, Appendix A, Attachment 1, in that the additional 15.

Additionally, the Oconee Phase 2 pre-solved table for exposure times of less than three days yields a Green result for the SSF
DG. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of human error prevention techniques
H.4.a], as described in the work practices component of the human performance cross-cutting area. (Section1R19
