| Title | Failure to Maintain SAFETY-RELATED DC Systems Design Control |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding, with two examples, of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to maintain the electrical separation of the redundant safety-related direct current (DC) systems in compliance to the design and licensing bases. The licensee initiated corrective actions including opening the breakers to the non-safety-related loads inside containment and setting the automatic transfer switches (ATSs) to prevent auto-transfer of loads. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because the issue was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of design control, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure to address the impact of high-impedance ground faults in non-safety equipment on safety-related DC sources and the failure to maintain compliance to RG1.6 when installing ATSs between redundant DC power sources impacted the reliability of the DC power system. The inspectors evaluated the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Attachment 1, Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations. Using the Phase 1 SDP worksheet for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, the inspectors answered no to all five screening questions. Based on the date of occurrence of this violation (more than 20 years old), the inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect as the finding was not representative of current performance. |
