| Title | Low-Low Set Safety/Relief Valve Pilot Solenoid Operated Valve Failed As-Found Testing |
| Description | This issue is considered within the traditional enforcement process because there was no performance deficiency identified and IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, directs disposition of this issue in accordance with the Enforcement Policy. The inspectors used the Enforcement Policy, Section 6.1 Reactor Operations, to evaluate the significance of this violation. The inspectors concluded that the violation is more than minor and best characterized as Severity Level IV. In reaching this conclusion, the inspectors considered that the underlying technical finding would have been evaluated as having very low safety significance (i.e. green) under the Reactor Oversight Process 37 Enclosure using IMC 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process. The inspectors screened the issue, and evaluated it using Checklist 7 of IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1. Based on these reviews, this issue would screen as very low safety significance (Green), because qualitative assessment concluded that PSEG maintained adequate mitigation capability and the event was not characterized as a loss of control. The manufacturer assembly error could not be identified during inspection and testing. Because it has been determined that it was not reasonable for PSEG to foresee and prevent inadequate assembly of the SOV by the manufacturer, no performance deficiency exists. The NRC has decided to exercise enforcement discretion in accordance with Section 3.5 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and refrain from issuing enforcement action for the violation of TS (EA-14-050). Further, because licensee actions did not contribute to this violation, it will not be considered in the assessment process or the NRCs Action Matrix. This LER is closed. |
