| Title | Operability Evaluation for Degraded Pedestals Failed to Adequately Evaluate Degraded Conditions Per Procedures |
| Description | Operability Evaluation for Degraded Pedestals Failed to Adequately Evaluate Degraded Conditions Per Procedure
A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was identified by the inspectors during a review of an operability evaluation for degraded concrete support pads under the discharge pressure gauge pedestals for safety-related service water pumps A1 and A2. Specifically, procedure OP-AA-102, Operability Determination, required that when a potential degraded or nonconforming condition is identified, action must be taken to discover the facts and confirm the condition of the systems, structures, and components. The licensees operability evaluation failed to adequately evaluate the degraded condition and failed to confirm that the compensatory actions used as a basis for operability for the pumps were effective. Corrective actions included the engineering department providing a more thorough evaluation of the potential for damage to the gauge isolation valve and associated piping from a falling gauge support including field measurements and piping configuration information. The finding is greater than minor because the failure to perform an adequate operability evaluation, if left uncorrected, would become a more significant failure to comply with the technical specifications or the licensing basis. The significance of the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the inspectors answered no to all of the questions for the Mitigation Systems Cornerstone column of Attachment 0609.04, of IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process. Additionally, the inspectors attributed this issue to the cross-cutting area of problem identification, corrective action program, because the operability evaluation and associated problems were not thoroughly evaluated.
