| Title | Failure to Evaluate Degraded Conditions Associated with CO-8 Relays and Implement Timely and Effective Action to Correct the Condition Adverse to Quality |
| Description | The team identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, because Constellation did not thoroughly evaluate and correct a degraded condition of a CO-8 relay disc sticking or binding issues which can adversely impact the function of the EDGs and the electrical distribution protection scheme. Specifically, following the February 18, 2010 event, Constellation did not identify and adequately evaluate the recent CO-8 relay failures due to sticking or binding of the induction discs in the safety related and non-safety related applications. Constellation entered this issue into the corrective action program (CR 20100004673).The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and it adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (Le., core damage). This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because these historical relay failures did not result in an actual loss of system safety function. The cause of the finding is related to the crosscutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program aspect P.1(c) because Constellation did not thoroughly evaluate the previous station operating experience of CO-8 relay induction disc sticking and binding issues such that resolutions addressed the causes and extent of-condition. |
