| Title | Failure to Adhere to Self-imposed Maintenance Rule Procedural Requirements |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to adhere to self-imposed maintenance rule procedural requirements. Contrary to maintenance rule monitoring requirements, while performing a maintenance rule functional failure evaluation of a diesel fire pump functional failure, licensee personnel inappropriately determined the failure was not maintenance preventable and assigned an incorrect causal code to the event prior to completing and documenting a cause analysis. These actions led to a delay in licensee recognition that the fire protection system had exceeded its performance criteria; therefore, presentation of the systems condition to the maintenance rule expert panel for a(1) consideration was delayed by several months. No violation of NRC requirements occurred. The licensee entered this item into their corrective action program (CAP) as condition assessment and resolution document (CARD) 09-28649. The licensees immediate actions included correction of the causal code for the maintenance rule functional failure and initiation of the a(1) evaluation process for the affected system. The system was placed in a(1) status on January 12, 2010. The finding was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 4.a, in the not minor section, because procedural noncompliance in the maintenance rule area continues to be an issue at Fermi. In addition, if left uncorrected, the failure to adhere to procedures could have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, not following procedural requirements specified in the Fermi Maintenance Rule Conduct Manual has lead to a failure to monitor degraded equipment in an a(1) status as required. The finding affected the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and was determined to be of very low significance (Green), because the finding was a procedural compliance issue that was confirmed not to result in loss of operability or functionality; it did not result in a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external initiating events. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in Human PerformanceWork Practices human error prevention techniques due to a failure to use error prevention techniques during the assessment of the failure (H.4(a)) |
