Finding

Title

Inadequate Emergency Diesel Generator Surveillance Testing

Description

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, after Pacific Gas and Electric failed to develop and implement an adequate testing program for the emergency diesel generators that met design requirements and recommendations. Specifically, in December 2008, the inspectors identified that the diesel generator loading calculations were inadequate to demonstrate that the design bases were met. Pacific Gas and Electric updated the load calculations, but failed to make the necessary revisions to Surveillance Test Procedure STP M-9D1, Diesel Generator Full Load Rejection Test. As a result, Pacific Gas and Electric failed to test several of the emergency diesel generators at the complete load as required by Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, which is part of the current licensing bases. The licensee entered this into the corrective action program as Notification 50368801, determined there was no loss of safety function for the affected components, and applied the provisions of Surveillance Requirement 3.0.3 for a missed surveillance test. The inspectors concluded the most significant contributor to the finding was less than adequate diesel generator loading evaluations to support corrective action from previous violations associated with the emergency diesel generator testing. The inspectors concluded that the performance deficiency was more than minor because the finding affected the equipment control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, associated with the corrective action program component because the licensee failed to perform an adequate evaluation of the nonconservative surveillance test such that the resolution addressed the fundamental basis for the surveillance P.1(c).
