| Title | Failure to Ensure That RHR Would Be Capable to Respond During Mode 4 Events |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified by the inspectors on July 12, 2010, due to the failure to establish measures to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis for the residual heat removal (RHR) system were correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions. Specifically, the licensee failed to have appropriate procedures in place to ensure that the safety function of the RHR system was maintained following valve repositioning to support transitioning from the decay heat removal mode of RHR to providing suction from the refueling water storage tank (RWST) or following a Mode 4 loss of coolant accident. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program and revised procedures to address the issue. This performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating System Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined that this issue was of very low safety significance, using IMC 0609 Appendix G for shutdown risk issues, because other systems were available for injection into the reactor coolant system and feed the steam generators; and due to the extremely low probability of a large loss of coolant accident during Mode 4 operations. This finding had no crosscutting aspect since there was no performance characteristic from IMC 0310 that was a significant contributor to the performance deficiency. |
