| Title | Failure to Evaluate Unit 2 Service Water Accumulator Discharge Valve IST Not Meeting Acceptance Criteria |
| Description | A self-revealing NCV of Salem TS 6.8.4.j, Inservice Testing (IST), that implements the IST program for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components in accordance with the ASME Operations and Maintenance (OM) code was identified. Specifically, the opening stroke time for a Unit 2 service water (SW) accumulator discharge valve (22SW535) exceeded the IST acceptance criteria of 1.0 seconds on four occasions during the 92 day test interval, after the acceptance criteria was incorrectly changed on December 21, 2010. The PSEG corrective action for the IST results not meeting the acceptance criteria was to perform an engineering evaluation which reduced the margin of the SW pressure decrease in the SW system downstream of the containment fan cooling units (CFCUs) while changing the IST 45 degree opening stroke time to 1.25 seconds. PSEG also entered this issue into their corrective action program (CAP) under Notification 20607549. The PD was determined to be more than minor because it is similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 2.a, in that, in the performance of reviewing a completed IST, it was discovered that the acceptance criteria was incorrect and that the recorded stroke time of 22SW535 exceeded the correct acceptance criteria to meet action range limits. The PD is also associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone, and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the 45 degree opening time of 22SW535 was greater than its acceptance criteria of 1.0 seconds to meet the TS 6.8.4.j, IST Program, requirements. The inspectors evaluated the finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, Determining the Significance of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations (IMC 0609A). The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the deficiency did not affect the design or qualification of the SW system and it did not represent a loss of system or train safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because PSEG did not ensure that complete, accurate, and up-to-date design documentation, procedures, and work packages. Specifically, PSEG made a non-conservative revision to the IST acceptance criteria to the SW accumulator discharge valves without evaluating this change was adequate to assure nuclear safety. |
