| Title | Failure to Preclude Repetition of Loss of Shutdown Cooling |
| Description | A self-revealing noncited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensees failure to preclude repetition of a significant condition adverse to quality, namely the loss of shutdown cooling caused by drawing a vacuum in the reactor pressure vessel. Specifically, corrective actions taken after a March 17, 1994, loss of shutdown cooling event were inadequate to prevent a similar event from occurring on November 7, 2009. The licensee entered this issue in their corrective action program as CR-CNS-2009-09486. The finding is more than minor because it affected the procedure quality attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors determined that Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G was applicable due to the fact that at the time of the performance deficiency was discovered, the plant was in a forced outage with residual heat removal system in service. Using Checklist 8 in Attachment 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Operational Checklists For Both PWRs and BWRs, the inspectors determined that although the residual heat removal mitigation capability on the checklist was not met, the criteria for requiring a phase 2 or phase 3 analysis were not satisfied. The inspectors determined that no cross cutting aspects were appropriate for this finding due to the fact that the performance deficiency occurred in 1994 and is not reflective of current performanc |
