| Title | Inadequate Boric Acid Corrosion Control Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, having very low safety significance for the licensees failure to maintain an adequate Boric Acid Corrosion Control Procedure. Specifically, the procedure failed to include requirements identified in their boric acid program basis document, did not provide clear guidance for implementation, and failed to specify systems and components required to be inspected. The licensee has entered this finding into their corrective action program as Condition Report 2008-3014. The finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected the finding would become a more significant safety concern due to the corrosive effects of boric acid on carbon steel systems and components. The team identified that the finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) since it did not result in a loss of operability, loss of system safety function, or actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time. The finding was also found not to result in an actual loss of safety function of one or more non-Technical Specification trains of equipment designated as risk-significant per 10 CFR 50.65 for greater than twenty-four hours, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The cause of the finding was related to the crosscutting component of decision making (H.1(a)) associated with roles defined since the manner in which the program was created allowed for confusion, in regards to formally defining authority and roles for decisions affecting nuclear safety and communicating these roles to applicable personnel for implementation of boric acid inspection activitie |
