| Title | Untimely Identification and Correction of Unsatisfactory Control Room Ventilation Charcoal Testing |
| Description | A self-revealing Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, was identified when PSEG did not promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality (CAQ). Specifically, PSEG did not promptly identify that negative results of a control room emergency air conditioning system (CREACS) charcoal filtration sample had Technical Specification (TS) implications and correct it prior to violating TSs. In response, PSEG entered Unit 1 TS 3.0.3, suspended irradiated fuel movements on Unit 2 to comply with Unit 2 TS 3.7.6, and commenced actions to re-align control area ventilation to Unit 2 supplying in the maintenance mode. Unit 1 TS 3.0.3 was exited at 7:55 a.m. that morning and PSEG reported this via an 8-hour report to the NRC under ENS 51504. PSEG revised the associated surveillance procedure to write a NOTF to replace the charcoal bank in the next system window if methyl iodide results are greater than or equal to 2 percent penetration (0.5% margin). PSEG documented and evaluated the issue in their CAP as Notifications (NOTFs) 20707922, 20707650, and 20712068. Untimely identification and correction of the charcoal filter performance was a performance deficiency. The issue was more than minor since it was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, example 2.a in that a TS limit was exceeded. Further, it was more than minor since it was associated with the system performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected its cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, unsatisfactory charcoal filter performance resulted in inoperability of the single filtration train that was in service. The finding was reviewed in accordance with IMC 0609, Attachment 4 and Appendix A, where it was screened to Green since it only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the control room. The finding had a cross-cutting issue in Human Performance, Teamwork, in that PSEG staff did not collaborate and cooperate in connection with operational activities, such as CAP entry and notification of the control room, associated with the CREACS filter testing and results. |
