| Title | Failure to Take Timely Corrective Actions to Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality Related to a 480 VAC Masterpact Breaker Performer Plug |
| Description | A self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for PSEGs failure to take timely corrective action to correct a CAQ. Specifically, PSEG failed to take timely corrective actions to replace a performer plug installed in the C filtration recirculation and ventilation system (FRVS) recirculation fan motor breaker that was known to potentially cause inadvertent advanced protection breaker trips when closing motor starter breakers. PSEGs corrective actions include replacing the performer and sensor plugs and micrologic trip unit and changing the Masterpact breaker maintenance procedure to prevent the installation of breakers with the old performer plugs. The performance deficiency (PD) was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Structure, System or Component (SSC) and Barrier Performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the failure to replace the C FRVS recirculation fan motor breaker performer plug resulted in an inadvertent advanced protection breaker trip and emergent inoperability of the C FRVS recirculation fan. The finding is of very low safety significance (Green) per IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 3 Barrier Integrity Screening Questions, because the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the reactor building by the FRVS system. The inspectors determined the finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because PSEG did not ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. Specifically, because of the deferral of the preventive maintenance (PM) work order (WO) with a corrective maintenance assignment, PSEG did not replace the C FRVS recirculation fan breaker performer and sensor plugs during a C FRVS work window in April 2014. |
