| Title | Failure to Implement Vendor Recommendations Causes an Automatic Reactor Trip |
| Description | A self-revealing finding was identified for failure to establish and implement appropriate periodic preventive maintenance for replacement frequency of the C4 capacitor on the Speed Error Amplifier card B (1A08D) in accordance with VPAP-803, Preventive Maintenance Program. Consequently, the C4 capacitor failed due to age related degradation and caused an automatic reactor trip from 100 percent reactor power. The licensees failure to establish and implement appropriate periodic preventive maintenance for replacement frequency of the C4 was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and adversely affected the associated cornerstone in that a reactor trip occurred. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a transient initiator, but did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available. The finding did not have a crosscutting aspect because the performance deficiency was not indicative of current plant performance. |
