Finding

Title

Failure to Appropriately Evaluate Failed Residual Heat Removal Surveillance Test

Description

The team identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for failure to appropriately evaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality, as instructed by Surveillance Test Procedure P-RHR-A22, Comprehensive Testing of Residual Heat Removal Pump. Specifically, the licensee failed to recognize a deviation in differential pressure towards the alert range, following the February 9, 2008, comprehensive surveillance test of the 2-2 residual heat removal pump. Continued degradation of the 2-2 residual heat removal pump resulted in failure of the October 9, 2009, comprehensive surveillance test due to the differential pressure exceeding the action limit. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Notification 50308225. The finding is more than minor because it was associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and it adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team evaluated the finding in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because: (1) it was a design or qualification issue confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality; (2) did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; (3) did not result in the loss of one or more trains of nontechnical specification equipment; and (4) did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The team determined that this finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, corrective action program, because the licensee failed to appropriately evaluate the 2009 residual heat removal surveillance test failure such that the resolution identified and corrected the cause of the failure
