| Title | Failure To Perform Vendor And Industry Recommended Testing On Safety-Related And Risk Significant 4160 V And 480 V Circuit Breakers |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.8.1(a) for inadequate procedures associated with 4160 V and 480 V safety-related breaker maintenance procedures. The inspectors determined that maintenance procedures used to ensure that 4160 V and 480 V safety-related breakers were being maintained and overhauled in a timely manner were inadequate. The licensee did not have an engineering analysis or technical basis to justify the deviation from vendor and/or Electric Power Research Institute guidance. The inspectors determined that this issue affected the procedure quality attribute for maintenance procedures of the Mitigating System Cornerstone of reactor safety. Specifically, the issue was more than minor because the failure to incorporate the vendor required maintenance and frequency or fully incorporate Electric Power Research Institute maintenance recommendations for extending the service interval into maintenance procedures for safety related breakers. If left uncorrected, this failure affected the availability, reliability, and capability of mitigating systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences because the reliability of safety-related breakers refurbished using the deficient procedures cannot be predicted. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report 2009-2306.
Using the Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Screening Worksheet, for the Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barriers Cornerstones the finding was potentially risk significant for multiple systems. Because the probability of multiple system effects is not effectively addressed by a Phase 2 analysis, a Phase 3 analysis was performed. The analyst determined that while the licensee failed to perform adequate maintenance on the breakers, the actual failure rate of the breakers was no greater than the theoretical design failure rate. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the deficiency did not result in any loss of function. The finding was not risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather-initiating event and because other plant-specific analyses that identify core damage scenarios of concern were not impacted. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee did not effectively incorporate pertinent industry operating experience into the preventive maintenance programs for the 4160 V and 480 V safety-related and risk significant non-safety-related circuit breakers P.2(b)(Section 4OA2) |
