Finding

Title

Failed to Update Operating Procedures and Licensing Basis Documents with Nitrogen Backup System Design and Support Function for AFW System Operability

Description

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, because Entergy personnel did not ensure that the design basis for the nitrogen backup system to instrument air was correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Specifically, Entergy personnel did not ensure that information regarding the safety function of the nitrogen backup system to instrument air in the ABFP room and its relation to the operability of the AFW system was translated into operating procedures and licensing basis documents, which directly contributed to inadequate compensatory measures during corrective maintenance and resulted in two inoperable trains of AFW. This issue was entered into Entergys CAP as condition reports CR-IP3-2011-4651 and CR-IP3-2012-00393. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affects the objective to ensure the capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Using IMC 0609.04, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the inspectors determined this finding was of very low safety significance (Green), because the finding was related to a design or qualification deficiency confirmed to result in a loss of operability of two trains of AFW; however, the finding did not represent a loss of safety system function because the turbine-driven ABFP was available and operable, and the motor-driven pumps remained functional, because off-site voltage was not degraded and the Instrument Air System was still available during the short duration of AFW system inoperability. The finding also did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events. The finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect because the performance deficiency is not reflective of current performance.
