Title | Spurious Operation of Pressurizer Spray Valves Not Analyzed |
Description | The team identified a finding of very low safety significance involving a non-cited violation of Millstone Unit 2 Operating License Condition 2.C. (3) for failure to implement and maintain all aspects of the approved Fire Protection Program. Specifically, Dominion\'s safe shutdown methodology postulated spurious operation of the pressurizer spray valves, but had not analyzed the effect of the spurious operations and mitigation actions were not implemented to ensure operators could achieve safe shutdown if the spray valves spuriously opened. In response to this issue, Dominion revised their fire safe shutdown operating procedure prior to the end of the inspection to mitigate spurious opening of the spray valves. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to Example 3.k of NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, and was associated with the Protection Against External Factors (e.g., Fire) attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team performed a Significance Determination Process (SDP) screening, in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix F, and Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. This finding affected the post-fire safe shutdown category, and was determined to have a low degradation rating because a subsequent evaluation determined that that the performance requirements of Appendix R Section III.L.1 were satisfied. This finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because it was a legacy issue and was considered to not be indicative of current licensee performance. |
