| Title | Failure to Correct Multiple Conditions Adverse to Fire Protection |
| Description | A self-revealing apparent violation (AV) of Condition 1.B to the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Updated Facility Operating Licenses, DPR-32 and DPR-37, was identified for the licensees failure to take corrective action for degraded conditions adverse to the fire protection program. Specifically, in 2003-2004, three breakers with loads including the Unit 2 1B Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) chiller motor, the Unit 1 2B charging component cooling water pump, and the Unit 2 B hydrogen recombiner were identified as being oversized with respect to the Surry design standard for breaker sizing and cable protection. The failure to take corrective action on the affected breakers led to a fault on the Unit 2 RWST Chiller Motor 1B on October 11, 2010, and a resulting fire which damaged the electrical cable and motor controller. The fire was promptly extinguished by the fire brigade. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP (CR 398628) and isolated the remaining breakers to prevent additional failures. The inspectors found that the failure to take action to correct multiple oversized breakers constituted a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it adversely affected the external factors attribute (fire) of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the Unit 2 1B RWST chiller motor and the Unit 2 B hydrogen recombiner breakers were the most susceptible to fire due to their size; also a cable fault could potentially damage safety related cables routed nearby. In addition, the Unit 1 2B charging component cooling water pump is safety related and was also unprotected. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachment 1, and determined the category of post fire safe shutdown was affected and the finding required a phase 3 analysis. The significance of this finding is to be determined pending completion of the phase 3 evaluation. This finding has a cross cutting aspect in the work control component in the Human Performance area because the licensee did not appropriately plan work activities by incorporating risk insights. Specifically, although work orders were planned in 2006 they were neither prioritized consistent with their safety significance nor scheduled and completed in a timely manner. (H.3(a)).
