| Title | Inadequate rigging practices result in damage to risk significant equipment |
| Description | A self-revealing Green Finding was identified for failure to adequately rig a 300 pound motor in the auxiliary building in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations on May 11, 2010. As a result, the motor slipped from its rigging and dropped approximately 15 feet onto the A component cooling water (CCW) pump motor below, damaging the motors cabling and electrical junction box. The CCW pump was declared inoperable (CR 380834), the damage was repaired, and the CCW pump restored to an operable status on May 15, 2010
Inspectors determined that the failure to implement adequate rigging practices in accordance with vendor recommendations as required by procedure MA-AA-101, Revision 5, Fleet Lifting and Material Handling constituted a performance deficiency and a finding which was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and correct and which should have been prevented. The finding is similar to MC 0612, Appendix E example 4.f, and is more than minor because it resulted in damage to and inoperability of a risk significant component. The finding is associated with the human performance attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events which upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations because a loss of the component cooling water system would have resulted in a unit transient. The finding, evaluated per Attachment 4 of MC-0609, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to both the likelihood of a plant transient and the loss of accident mitigation equipment. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, decision making because the licensee did not make safety/risk significant decisions using a systematic process, especially when faced with uncertain decisions, to ensure safety is maintained (H.1(a)). Specifically, the rigging team made safety/risk significant decisions within lifting/rigging procedures that did not include a systematic process for evaluating each lift, especially loads <5000 lbs in the vicinity of risk significant equipment. |
