Title | Failure to Follow Procedural Requirements During Roof Inspection |
Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, associated with the licensees failure to follow the requirements of Station Procedure 0.27.1, Periodic Structural Inspections of Structures, Revision 7. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify and remove foreign material from the diesel generator building roof which could have interfered with the ability of the roof drains and scuppers to remove water during a flooding event. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-CNS-2012-08833. The failure to follow the requirements of a station procedure was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and is therefore a finding, because it is associated with the protection against the external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, in that the failure to recognize and remove foreign material from the diesel generator roof could have resulted in the roof drains and scuppers not being able to perform their intended function when required, thereby affecting the associated cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process For Findings At-Power, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding: (1) was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component and did not result in a loss of operability or functionality; (2) did not represent a loss of system and/or function; (3) did not represent an actual loss of function of at least a single train for longer than its technical specification allowed outage time, or two separate safety systems out-of-service for longer than its technical specification allowed outage time; and (4) did not represent an actual loss of function of one or more nontechnical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significance in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program. The inspectors determined that the apparent cause of this finding was that the licensee had failed to use conservative assumption, when determining what constituted foreign material on the diesel generator roof. Therefore, the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision-making component 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 it is unsafe in order to disapprove the action. |
