Licensee
TS 5.4.1 requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering applicable procedures recommended in
RG 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1979.
RG 1.33, Appendix A, Section 9 states in part maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures. Contrary to the above, on December 22 and 23, 2008, the licensee returned to service a portion of the
RHR to
HHSI pump suction piping without properly filling that portion of piping. This activity resulted in a 3.9 cubic foot void in the suction piping. The section of piping was promptly refilled using a vacuum refill process. The licensee determined the procedure for returning the system to service was inadequate because it did not provide proper guidance for ensuring this section of
ECCS piping was properly refilled. This was identified in the licensees
CAP as CR 2009100230. This finding was assessed using
Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Significance Determination Process Phase 1 screening worksheet and determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not result in an actual loss of safety function of a single train for greater than the TS allowed outage time and was not potentially risk-significant due to external events
