| Title | Failure to Correct Chiller Failures due to Gasket Leakage |
| Description | A self-revealing Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, was identified when PSEG did not assure that an identified condition adverse to quality was corrected. Specifically, PSEG closed a corrective action to address chiller gasket leakage without performing the designated action. This resulted in four subsequent chiller trips due to gasket failures. PSEG entered this issue in the CAP under notification 20708693, and completed ACE 70181604 on December 21, 2015. Corrective actions from the ACE were completed on February 25, 2016, and included: obtaining the proper gasket material; testing an alternative gasket material (Teflon); and establishing interim performance monitoring under Order 80115963. The inspectors determined that closing a corrective action to correct a condition adverse to quality evaluated by an ACE without implementing the corrective action was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating System cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences, in that safety-related chillers were subsequently rendered inoperable as a result of not having the proper gasket material. The inspectors determined that this finding screened to Green in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix A, because the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of at least a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Resolution, because PSEG did not take effective corrective action to address recurring chiller evaporator head gasket leaks in a timely manner. |
