| Title | Failure to Follow Operability Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, Drawings, associated with the licensees failure to perform an adequate operability determination in accordance with Station Procedure 0.5OPS, Operations Review of Condition Reports/Operability Determination. Specifically, the licensee failed to evaluate the effect on operability of taking electrical relays for the service water pumps out of their seismically qualified configuration. To correct this issue the licensee directed that the affected service water pump be declared inoperable during Division II under voltage testing. The licensee entered this deficiency into their corrective action program for resolution as Condition Report CR-CNS-2014-00122. The failure to properly assess and document the basis for operability when a degraded or nonconforming condition was identified was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensees failure to properly document and assess the basis for operability resulted in a condition of unknown operability for a degraded nonconforming condition. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, dated July 1, 2012, inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding: (1) was not a deficiency affecting the design and 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 their 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 finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with decision-making component because the licensee did not ensure that the proposed action was safe in order to proceed, rather than unsafe to disapprove the action H.1(b) |
