| Title | Failure to Perform Operability Determination in a Timely Manner on Safety-related Equipment |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the failure of operations personnel to follow procedures to evaluate the operability of an identified nonconforming condition associated with containment structural tendon H-14. Specifically, contaminated grease was placed in the tendon sheathing for containment structural tendon H-14, which constituted a nonconforming condition. However, operations personnel and notification screening processes failed to identify the nonconforming condition as a condition that needed to be evaluated in accordance with Procedure SO123-XV-52, Functionality Assessments and Operability Determinations, Revision 11. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notification 200417206. The finding is greater than minor because the failure to perform timely evaluations of nonconforming conditions for operability, if left uncorrected, would have a potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. The finding is associated with the design control attribute of the Containment Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affects the associated cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radio nuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because the finding did not represent a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the control room or auxiliary building, and did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment and heat removal components. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with corrective action program because licensee personnel failed to properly classify, prioritize, and evaluate for operability conditions adverse to quality P.1(c) (Section 1R15) |
