Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
Description | The licensee identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) with an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure appropriate quality standards were specified and included in design documents associated with the Unit 1 and Unit 2 ESW strainer backwash valves. Specifically, this resulted in the use of non-dedicated parts in the backwash valves. The backwash function of the ESW strainers was originally classified as non-safety-related. However, in 2007, the backwash function became safety-related. When this change occurred, the Safety Classification Determination (SCD), which documented the safety classification of the various parts of the valves, was not updated accordingly. During a maintenance period on the ESW system in 2015, some licensee personnel questioned the adequacy of the SCD. The licensee later determined that non-dedicated replacement parts had been used in some of the strainer backwash valves since 2007. The issue was more than minor because per IMC 0612 Appendix B, it adversely affected the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The issue screened as Green based on the guidance in IMC 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 2. Specifically, the finding was associated with the design or qualification of a mitigating SSC where the operability was maintained. |
