| Title | Corrective Actions Not Completed for Drains in the Intake Structure |
| Description | An NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance was identified because Constellation staff did not follow Procedure CNG-CA-1.01-1000, Corrective Action Program. Specifically, Constellation staff did not complete corrective actions previously prescribed within their Corrective Action Program as a result of root and apparent cause evaluations for drain failures which impacted safety-related equipment. This resulted in a drain line within the intake structure becoming clogged and the 21 saltwater (SW) pump becoming submerged in water. Constellation personnel entered the issue into their CAP as CR-2012-008363, cleaned out the drain line, and implemented a new preventive maintenance (PM) schedule to keep the drain line clear. Planned corrective actions include overhauling the 21 SW pump bearings. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, because the intake structure drain piping was clogged, the 21 saltwater pump pit filled with water and caused the pump bearing housings to be contaminated with water, which adversely impacts the long-term reliability of the pump bearings and will cause the pump to be unavailable while the issue is corrected. The inspectors evaluated the significance of this finding using IMC 0609 Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings at Power. The inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a design or qualification deficiency; did not represent a loss of safety system function; and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events. The inspectors determined that the finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution because Constellation personnel did not take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity. Specifically, Constellation personnel did not perform corrective actions previously prescribed to address and correct drain failures that impacted safety-related equipment. |
