| Title | Deficient Design Control Results in Non-Qualified Component Installed in Harsh Environment for Unit 3, BFD-FCV-406B Actuator |
| Description | The team identified a Green non-cited violation of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, because Entergy did not ensure the control air pressure regulator (IA-PCV-1548) for Unit 3 auxiliary boiler feedwater (ABFW) flow control valve BFD-FCV-406B was suited and designed to perform its safety-related function. Specifically, IA-PCV-1548 was not designed or qualified for use in the harsh environment area where it was located. Immediate corrective actions included evaluation of IA-PCV-1582 and BFD-FCV-406B to verify component operability. The issue was entered into the corrective action program as condition report IP3-2014-1364, to further evaluate both the extent-ofcondition and the stations processes for maintaining configuration control over mechanical components installed in harsh environment areas. The finding was more than minor because the finding was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of assuring the reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, the issue was similar to example 3.j in Appendix E of Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, in that the design control issue resulted in a reasonable doubt of operability. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of operability. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Design Margin (H.6), because Entergy did not maintain the operational temperature design margin for the control air pressure regulator to the ABFW flow control valve. The margin between the ABFW pump room peak environmental temperature and the design/qualified temperature of IA-PCV-1582 was not carefully guarded and changed only through a systematic and rigorous process. |
