Finding

Title

Failure to Promptly Correct an Adverse Condition Related to Emergency Core Cooling System Venting

Description

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the failure of licensee personnel to follow the requirements of Procedure 0.5, Conduct of the Condition Report Process. Specifically, licensee personnel failed to initiate condition reports for adverse conditions related to the inability to remove air from emergency core cooling system piping. Licensee personnel identified that high pressure coolant injection system had an incorrect slope and that the core spray system had concentric reducers that could trap gas; however, personnel failed to initiate a condition report that documented the deficiency. The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved failure of personnel to follow the requirements of Procedure 0.5. Specifically, licensee personnel failed to initiate condition reports for adverse conditions that could result in gas voids in the emergency core cooling systems that could affect operability. The first and third examples are more than minor because the condition of not initiating condition reports for adverse conditions could become more significant if left uncorrected. Using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because neither example resulted in any loss of safety function of any technical specification required equipment. This finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the problem identification and resolution area associated with the corrective action program component because licensee personnel failed to implement a corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues.
