| Title | Submerged Medium Voltage Cables |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding (FIN) for improper maintenance of underground non-safety related medium voltage electric cables. The inspectors identified that Entergy allowed non-safety related medium voltage cables to remain submerged in water for extended periods of time. Entergy entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program (CAP), and specified corrective actions to identify all underground medium voltage cables included under the Cable Reliability Program, and to identify which manholes should have dewatering capability. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, continued submergence of the non-safety related power cables (from the start-up transformer to electrical buses A2 and A4) could lead to cable failure and cause an event that would affect plant stability. The inspectors performed a Phase 1 Significance Determination Process screening of the finding in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, \"Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings,\" and determined that the finding was of very low safety significance because the condition did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the unavailability of mitigating systems equipment. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Problem Identification and Resolution cross-cutting area, Corrective Action Program component, because Entergy personnel did not thoroughly evaluate the problem when submerged cabling was initially identified P.1(c). |
