| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 50.55 (a)(b)(5)(i) required in part that licensees must apply the most recent version of ASME BPV Code cases listed in Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 17. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to perform augmented re-examinations on a 30-day periodicity as required by ASME Code Case N-513-3. A through-wall pinhole leak on the Unit 2 Train A Service Water strainer backwash piping was documented in condition report (CR) 10234480 on June 10, 2016. The service water system provides a heat sink for the removal of process and operating heat from safety related components during a Design Basis Accident (DBA) or transient. The backwash piping is safety-related ASME Section III, Class 3 piping. An Immediate Determination of Operability Evaluation (IDO) was performed declaring the strainer operable but degraded non-conforming (OBDN). The licensee followed the guidance of ASME Code Case N-513-3, Evaluation Criteria for Temporary Acceptance of Flaws in Moderate Energy Class 2 or 3 Piping,Section XI, Division 1. The code case requires that an additional five similar susceptible locations be identified and inspected to ensure that another flaw does not exist. In addition to the expanded scope, the code case requires that frequent periodic inspections of no more than30-day intervals shall be used to determine if the flaws are growing to an unacceptable size. An additional CR (10236417) was initiated on June 15, 2016, to request work orders for inspection of these five locations. A total of three examinations were performed on a 30-day periodicity, the last being completed on August 22, 2016. CR 10416364 was initiated on October 5, 2017, documenting that no re-examinations on a 30-day periodicity were performed on the original leak location and the five additional locations since August 22, 2016. The ultrasonic examination was completed on October 5, 2017, and the degraded backwash piping was removed and replaced with new piping by WO SNC795917 on October 28, 2017. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, it did not represent a loss of system safety function of a single train for greater than its TS allowed outage time, and it did not screen as potentially risk significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating events. This finding was entered into the licensees CAP as CR 10416364. |
