| Title | Failure to Identify Damaged Lugs |
| Description | Green. The inspectors documented a self-revealing finding and associated non-cited violation of Unit 1 Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, for the failure to properly perform maintenance on the Unit 1 suction valve to the emergency core cooling system B and containment spray B. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify a damaged electrical lug on the valve actuator during maintenance. The lug subsequently failed and the valve failed to stroke fully open after being returned to service. The licensee repaired the lug and restored the valve to service. The licensee documented this issue in Condition Report CR-ANO-1-2017-00270. The licensee failed to identify a damaged electrical lug on a motor-operated valve during maintenance, which is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the performance deficiency resulted in the failure of a suction valve for one train of emergency core cooling systems and containment spray systems after the valve was returned to service from the maintenance. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the inspectors determined that the finding required a detailed risk evaluation because the finding represented an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time. The analyst determined in a detailed risk evaluation that by combining internal and external event inputs yielded an estimate of the total increase in core damage frequency of 8.5E-7/year, or of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with Avoid Complacency because the primary cause of the performance deficiency involved the failure to plan for the possibility of mistakes and use appropriate error reduction tools.
