| Title | Expiration of Periodic Inservice Testing of 14 Service Water Pump |
| Description | Inspectors identified a Severity Level IV (SLIV) non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(z) when a periodic Inservice Test (IST) of the 14 service water (SW) pump and its strainer outlet check valve was not completed prior to expiration of its testing frequency on August 4 without Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) authorization. PSEGs corrective actions (C/As) included making repairs to the 14 SW strainer, satisfactory completion of the 14 SW IST on August 21, chartering an apparent cause evaluation (ACE), and entering the issue in their Corrective Action Program (CAP) as notification (NOTF) 20772390.The issue was assessed in accordance with IMC 0612 and traditional enforcement applied since the issue impeded the regulatory process. Specifically, PSEG did not perform the prescribed IST or obtain prior NRR authorization for an alternative measure in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55(a)(z). The Reactor Oversight Processs (ROP) significance determination process does not specifically consider regulatory process impact in its assessment of licensee performance. Therefore, it was necessary to address this violation,which impeded the NRCs ability to regulate, using traditional enforcement to adequately assess the non-compliance. The violation was determined to be a SLIV since: 1) the delay in the inservice test required, and PSEG did not obtain, prior Commission review and approval, 2) the associated consequence was minor or of very low safety significance, and 3) the NRC would have likely approved an alternative, given reasonable assurance of operability of the 14 SW train, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NRC also determined this violation was associated with a minor ROP performance deficiency. Traditional enforcement violations are not assessed for cross-cutting aspects. |
