Title | Ice Deflector Pontoon Barge Storage in Service Water Discharge Canal |
Description | The team identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to verify the adequacy of design for the service water system. Specifically, prior to August 10, 2010, the licensee did not have a calculation to support storage of an ice deflector pontoon barge in the service water discharge canal during design tornado or high wind conditions. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program under Condition Report CNS-2010-5763. The failure to establish appropriate design controls by having a calculation for storage of a pontoon barge in the safety-related service water discharge canal is a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of the service water system to respond to events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency and did not represent a loss of safety function. The licensee performed a calculation (NEDC 10-057) which demonstrated the current storage of the pontoon barge in the service water discharge was sufficient, such that it will not to adversely affect the service water system. The finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance decision making because the licensee failed to use conservative assumptions in decision making and adopt a requirement to demonstrate that the proposed action is safe in order to proceed rather than a requirement to demonstrate that it is unsafe in order to disapprove the action because the licensee failed conduct an effective review of safety-significant decisions associated with the ice deflector barge storage to verify the validity of the underlying assumptions, identify possible unintended consequences, and determine how to improve future decisions. |
