| Title | Potential Technical Specification NON-COMPLIANCE While Completing Repairs on Motor Damper 32421 |
| Description | The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) due to the potential that Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.1 was not performed within one hour of rendering the D5 EDG inoperable on November 10, 2011. On May 15, 2011, the licensee initiated CAP Document 1285989 due to Motor Damper (MD) 32421 (the 21 D5 Diesel Room Exhaust Air MD) failing to close as expected during testing. The licensee immediately evaluated this condition and determined that the failure of MD-32421 to operate as expected did not impact the operability of the diesel ventilation system or the D5 EDG since the outside air temperature was warm enough to keep the D5 EDG room within the required temperature limits. Night shift operations personnel removed MD-32421 from service for repairs at 5:24 a.m. on November 10, 2011. In order to complete the repairs, MD-32420 and MD-32422 were also removed from service. After removing the MDs from service, operations personnel determined that the D5 EDG remained operable and available since the temperature in the D5 EDG room was greater than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (the minimum allowed room temperature). At 6:37 a.m., day shift operations personnel declared the D5 EDG inoperable because the method used to remove the MDs from service eliminated the ability of the dampers to modulate as specified in the USAR. Approximately 20 minutes later, operations personnel restored the ability of all three MDs to modulate and the D5 EDG was declared operable. The licensee initiated CAPs 1312509 and 1313190 to document this issue. The inspectors reviewed TS 3.8.1, AC Sources-Operating, to determine whether operations personnel had complied with TS requirements while removing the MDs from service. Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.8.1.B required that TS Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.1 be performed within one hour of rendering an EDG inoperable. During a review of the November 10, 2011, Operations Station Log and the LCO Log the inspectors identified that the MDs discussed above were removed from service between 5:22 and 5:25 a.m. However, TS Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.1 was not performed within one hour since the operations crew did not believe that removing the MDs from service rendered the D5 EDG inoperable. The licensee was reviewing licensing and design basis documentation for the D5 EDG and the D5 EDG ventilation system at the conclusion of the inspection period. The licensee planned to use the review results to determine whether removing the MDs from service such that they were no longer able to modulate impacted the D5 EDG operability. As a result, this item was determined to be unresolved pending the inspectors review of the licensees licensing and design basis information |
