Title | Failure to Establish Appropriate Design Control Measures for Selection of Replacement Parts |
Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, on October 8, 2013, due to the failure to establish measures for the selection of parts that are essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems, or components (SSCs). Specifically, the licensee failed to properly evaluate the specifications and quality of replacement parts such as gaskets, o-rings, packing materials, and diaphragms to ensure that these parts were suitable for installation in safety-related systems. As a result, multiple systems were required to be declared operable but non-conforming. Corrective actions for this issue included ensuring personnel understood the requirements regarding parts selection, determining the correct parts to be used and initiating work orders to ensure that parts were replaced in the future if required. The inspectors determined that this issue was more than minor because if left uncorrected, the installation of parts/materials which failed to meet requirements could lead to subsequent part failure. This failure would adversely impact the ability of safety-related equipment to perform its safety function. The inspectors determined that this issue was of very low safety significance because Question 1 in IMC 0609, Attachment 0609.04, Attachment A, Exhibit 2, was answered yes. The inspectors concluded that this issue was cross-cutting in the Human Performance, Resources area because the licensees parts specification and quality level documentation was not complete, accurate and/or up to date. |
