| Title | Failure to Follow Instructions and Procedures Related to Snubber Activities |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of very low safety significance of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, because activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with instructions and procedures established by the licensee. Specifically, the licensee failed to document a degraded condition associated with a safety related seismic snubber affecting the auxiliary feedwater system, did not notify operations of the degraded condition, and did not assess the risk of the inoperable snubber in accordance with licensee instructions and procedures. The licensee entered this violation into their corrective action program. Immediate actions taken to address this violation included a review of all other snubber inspections that were rejected to ensure that other degraded conditions were reported to the control room, a review of all planned snubber maintenance with respect to online risk, and the issuance of interim guidance to all Shift Managers on the subject of snubber operability and risk. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to follow instructions and procedures associated with safety related snubbers was a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency could have led to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to follow instructions and procedures associated with safety related snubbers could result in unacceptable risk configurations that are not analyzed under technical specifications and could challenge the reliability of safety related equipment during a seismic event. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2 Mitigating System Screening Questions Part B, dated July 1, 2012, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) since the finding did not result in the loss of equipment specifically designed to mitigate a seismic initiating event. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, the Work Management aspect, since the licensee did not implement a work process that ensured the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work.
