| Title | Inadequate Resolution for Double-Break Circuits Design for Several Valves |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very-low safety significance (Green) and an associated Non-Cited Violation of license conditions 2.C(4) and 2.C(3)(o) for the licensees failure to implement the approved. Specifically, the licensee failed to analyze the double-break circuits design for valves using risk-informed, performance-based techniques for several fire areas. In the event of a fire in several fire areas, fire induced-circuit failures (i.e., inter-cable shorting) for a double-break design for several valves (i.e., Power Operated Relief Valves) could potentially result in spurious operation of the valves. The circuit analysis for these valves in these areas was analyzed using the deterministic approach instead risk-informed, performance-based techniques. The licensee entered the issue into their Corrective Action Program and took credit for existing fire protection features and controls as compensatory measures and planned to review the multiple spurious operations Expert Panel Report and properly disposition the scenario. The performance deficiency was determined to be more-than-minor because if left uncorrected, it would potentially lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, the failure to properly evaluate and disposition all potential fire-induced circuit failures for all cables in a fire area could impair the plants ability to safely shutdown in the event of a fire. The performance deficiency was also associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The finding was of very-low safety significance because it did not impact the reactors ability to reach and maintain a safe shutdown condition. This finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because it was not representative of current licensee performance. |
