| Title | Procedural Non-Compliance Resulted in Low Temperature Overpressure Relief Lifting |
| Description | A self-revealing, Green NCV of TS 6.8.1, Procedures and Programs, was identified when PSEG did not correctly implement procedures associated with Safeguard Equipment Control (SEC) surveillance testing during solid reactor coolant system (RCS) operations. Consequently, this resulted in lifting a low temperature over-pressure protection valve during solid pressurizer operations. PSEG immediately stabilized reactor pressure, completed a prompt investigation and an apparent cause evaluation, submitted a Special Report to the NRC in accordance with TS 6.9.2, and entered this in their CAP (20665897). Non-compliance with TS 6.8.1 procedures was a performance deficiency. This issue was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone, and adversely affected its objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. It was also similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, example 4.b, in that not accomplishing activities in accordance with procedures is more than minor if it results in a trip or transient. Specifically, not following procedures resulted in an RCS pressure transient that caused a protective relief valve to lift. Since the finding was not associated with a freeze seal, nozzle dam, criticality drain-down path, leakage path, or safety injection actuation, and did not involve or result in PORV unavailability or a setpoint issue, it screened to Green. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, in that individuals are expected to follow processes, procedures, and work instructions. Specifically, PSEG operators did not follow procedures nor review procedures before work to validate appropriateness and timing. |
