| Title | |
| Description | A self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, was identified for PSEGs failure to properly test the B Filtration, Recirculation and Ventilation System (FRVS) recirculation fan following maintenance in accordance with site procedures. Specifically, on June 3, 2013, PSEG did not perform the required post-maintenance test (PMT) prior to returning the system to service. Consequently, when the fan failed during its surveillance on June 24, 2013, there was no reasonable assurance that the fan was operable since the last time maintenance was performed on it. Corrective actions included adding this event to the Licensed Operator Requalification training program to improve knowledge regarding PMT requirements. The performance deficiency (PD) was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the system, structure, or component (SSC) and Barrier Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the standby gas treatment system. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Decision-Making, because PSEGs decisions did not demonstrate that nuclear safety was the overriding priority. Specifically, PSEG did not use conservative assumptions in decision-making when determining the proper PMT for the B FRVS recirculation fan prior to returning it to service. |
