Finding

Title

Failure to Promptly Identify and Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality

Description

The team reviewed a self-revealing Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the licensees failure to promptly identify a condition adverse to quality. On October 27, 2014, a condition report was written to investigate dry boric acid on the high pressure safety injection Pump SI-2B vent valve piping. The initial investigation concluded that no degraded or nonconforming condition existed. On October 29, 2014, the Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program engineer conducted a review of the dry boric acid residue. The engineer identified the boric acid appeared to originate from a weld and needed to be cleaned and repaired; however, the engineer failed to initiate a condition report documenting this condition adverse to qualilty. The failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the licensee failed to write a condition report when there was evidence of a boric acid leak on the high pressure safety injection pump casing. This performance deficiency was of more-than-minor safety significance because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 2, the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because all questions in Exhibit 2 could be answered in the negative. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the procedure adherence component of the human performance cross-cutting area because the individual failed to write a condition report as required by procedure after identifying a condition adverse to quality.
