Title | Unavailability Time for Component Cooling Water Incorrectly Counted |
Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) and 50.65(a)(2) for the failure of engineering personnel to demonstrate that the performance or condition of the Unit 3 component cooling water system had been effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance and did not monitor against licensee-established goals. Specifically, as of May 31, 2010, engineering personnel failed to identify and properly account for at least 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br /> of component cooling water heat exchanger unavailability when considering whether the performance of the Unit 3 component cooling water train A had been effectively controlled through maintenance. These 47 hours5.439815e-4 days <br />0.0131 hours <br />7.771164e-5 weeks <br />1.78835e-5 months <br /> of unavailability, when combined with other train unavailability over the previous 12 months, demonstrate that the performance or condition of this structure, system, or component was not being effectively controlled through the performance of appropriate preventive maintenance and, as a result, that goal setting and monitoring was required. Licensee personnel initiated a notification to evaluate how component cooling water train unavailability is counted. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notification NN 200961310. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences, and is therefore a finding. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheets, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because the finding: (1) is not a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality; (2) did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; (3) did not result in the loss of one or more trains of non-technical specification equipment; and (4) did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the component of decision making because the engineering personnel failed to demonstrate that nuclear safety was an overriding priority through the use of conservative assumptions in decision making and adopting a requirement to demonstrate that a proposed action is safe in order to proceed rather than a requirement to demonstrate that it is unsafe in order to disapprove the action H.1(b). |
