Title | Failure to Follow Procedures Contributes to Emergency Diesel Generator Inoperability (Section 4AO2.1.c.(3)) |
Description | \"The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterio
V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for PSEGs failure to adequately implemen procedure requirements related to the maintenance and operation of the emergenc diesel generators (EDGs). Specifically, between February 2008 and January 2009, operators repeatedly documented that the B EDG LO strainer D/P was greater than psid; however, they did not initiated a new notification (NOTF) as required by PSE procedure HC.OP-ST-KJ-0002, Emergency Diesel Generator 1BG400 Operability Tes Monthly. As a result, an out of specification system parameter was not re-screene for operability following a substantive change in this parameter resulting in the B ED being declared inoperable. PSEGs corrective actions included replacing the EDG lub oil strainer, revising procedures, and performing an extent of condition review The finding is more than minor because the performance deficiency is associated wit the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected th cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of system (EDGs) that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Th finding was determined to be of very low safety significance based on a Phase 3 SD evaluation based on a bounding case analysis considering the period of unavailability, conservative estimate of time to failure, and operator recovery credit. The finding has cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance and the aspect of wor practices, procedural compliance, in that PSEG personnel are to follow procedure (H.2.(b)). Specifically, PSEG personnel did not follow procedure HC.OP-ST-KJ-0002 and write a NOTF each time EDG lube oil strainer D/P was greater than 7 psid. (Sectio 4OA2.1.c.3 |
