| Title | Failure to Trend Vibration Data for Safety Related River Water Pump |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance involving an NCV of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50, Appendix B Criterion XVI, Corrective Action Program, because Exelon did not identify and correct a condition adverse to quality on the B nuclear river water pump (NR-P-1B). Specifically, Exelon did not properly evaluate an adverse vibration trend on NR-P-1B, which resulted in exceeding its in-service test (IST) required action level and declared inoperable on October 10, 2015. Exelon entered the condition into their corrective action program (CAP) as issue report 2568763 and emergently replaced the pump, engaged the vendor for short and long term design and material changes to correct the vibration, and created process and peer check corrective actions to ensure all vibration data is reviewed timely and trends are addressed commensurate with their safety significance. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the elevated vibrations reduced the reliability and capability of NR-P-1B to perform its safety function. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, and determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the degraded condition was not a design deficiency that affected system operability; did not represent an actual loss of function of a system; did not represent an actual loss of function of a single train or two separate trains for greater than its technical specification (TS) allowed outage time and did not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety significant. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Evaluation, because the station did not thoroughly evaluate the elevated vibration data such that the issue was addressed before NR-P-1B became inoperable [P.2]. |
