| Title | Inadequate Performance Testing of Safety Related Batteries |
| Description | The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, in that, Unit 2 and Unit 3written test procedures for battery performance testing were not adequate and did not ensure that test results were properly documented and evaluated to assure that the test requirements were satisfied. Specifically, the battery performance test procedure did not ensure that the correct discharge rate was used, that the test was terminated correctly, and that the battery capacity and subsequent decrease in capacity were correctly calculated and evaluated. In response, Dominion entered the issue into the corrective action program and determined that there was sufficient battery margin to assure operability of the station batteries. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the procedure quality attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a single train, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources Component, because Dominion did not ensure that complete, accurate, and up-to-date procedures were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically, the battery performance test procedure did not ensure that the correct discharge rate was used, that the test was terminated correctly, and that the battery capacity and subsequent decrease in capacity were correctly calculated and evaluated |
