| Title | Inadequate Operability Determinations |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance with two examples and an associated non-cited violation of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to accomplish the requirements of procedure FPOPOL01, Operability/Functionality Determination, Revisions 14 and 15. Specifically, on two occasions, the licensee failed to properly evaluate potential operability concerns associated with the Unit 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG) day tanks and the Unit 2 train A cooling water (CL) system piping. The licensee entered the issues into the Corrective Action Program as Action Requests 1525842 and 1526070. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to accomplish the requirements of procedure FPOPOL01, Operability/Functionality Determination, Revisions 14 and 15, to properly evaluate the operability issues associated with the Unit 2 EDG day tank fuel oil level and the Unit 2 CL system piping (both safety-related, mitigating systems) was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency, with two examples, was determined to be more than minor in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attributes of Equipment Performance (for the Unit 2 EDGs) and Protection against External Factors (for the Unit 2 CL piping) and adversely affected the Cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of mitigating systems to respond to initiating events. The inspectors utilized IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, and determined that the finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) since the inspectors answered Yes to Question 1 of Section A of Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions. The inspectors concluded that this issue was cross-cutting in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution in the aspect of Evaluation. As defined in IMC 0310, Aspects Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, this aspect states, The organization thoroughly evaluates issues to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, the licensee had not thoroughly evaluated the operability issues associated with the Unit 2 EDG day tank levels and the Unit 2 CL piping structural integrity. |
