Finding

Title

Failure to Properly Implement Agastat Control Relays Preventive Maintenance Procedure in Accordance with TS 5.4.1

Description

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1, Procedures, because Entergy did not implement procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Entergy did not implement preventive maintenance procedural requirements to periodically replace six high critical, normally energized Agastat EGP relays every 10 years. Entergys immediate corrective actions included replacing all six relays and performing an equipment apparent cause evaluation. Entergy entered this issue into their CAP as CR-2016-04243. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The failure to replace the relays in accordance with preventative maintenance requirements increased the likelihood of failure for safety systems that relied on these relays for operation. The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with IMC 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Exhibit 3 of IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, issued June 19, 2013, because the performance deficiency did not result in an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment and did not involve an actual reduction in function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment. The inspectors determined that this finding had no cross-cutting aspect because the most significant causal factor, the failure to include the relays in the preventative maintenance program database, did not reflect current licensee performance. There was no indication that this specific performance deficiency occurred in the last three years.
