Title | Inadequate Calculations for Keowee Voltage Relays |
Description | The team identified a Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control , for the licensees failure to perform adequate calculations to support the Keowee generator voltage trip setpoints provided in Technical Specification 3.8.1.17. The licensee entered these issues into their corrective action program as PIPs O-11-10907 and O-11-11120, and performed evaluations to provide reasonable assurance that components would have adequate voltage pending formal reanalysis. The team determined that the failure to perform adequate calculations to support the Keowee generator voltage trip setpoints provided in Technical Specification 3.8.1.17 was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was more than minor because it affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Design Control, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. In addition the finding is similar to IMC 0612 Appendix E, example 3.j because the issue resulted in a condition where there was a reasonable doubt with respect to operability of safetyrelated components. Specifically, there was reasonable doubt as to whether the safety related plant Motor Operated Valves (MOVs) and Motor Control Center (MCC) starters would have adequate voltage to perform their safety function following a failure of a Keowee generator voltage regulator. The finding was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green) since this was a design deficiency confirmed not to have resulted in a loss of operability or functionality. The team determined that no cross cutting aspect was applicable because this finding was not indicative of current licensee performance. |
