The inspectors identified a noncited violation of
Technical Specification 5.5.1.1 for the failure of operations personnel to follow Procedure SO23-2-8.1,Saltwater Cooling System Alignments, Revision 7. Specifically, on June 17, 2008, inspectors identified air equalizing supply Valve HV6200 not secured closed, contrary to procedural requirements. These valves were required to be secured closed as a corrective action to Apparent Cause Evaluation 060100377. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notification 200038227. The finding is greater than minor because it would become a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected, in that air equalizing supply valves could be inadvertently opened rendering their associated air-operated valves unable to perform their safety function. The finding affected the
Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. Using Manual Chapter 0609
Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because it did not result in the actual loss of system safety function. The finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate problems such that resolutions address causes and extent of condition
