Finding

Title

Failure to Appropriately Identify and Classify Degraded Voltage on a Class 1E Battery

Description

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the failure of engineering personnel to fully evaluate a degraded condition in accordance with its corrective action program procedures. Specifically, on March 20, 2010, after identifying that there was not a reasonable expectation that a degraded safety-related battery was operable, operations and engineering personnel failed to initiate a nuclear notification in accordance with corrective action procedures. In response to the inspectors question, the licensee initiated Nuclear Notification NN 200973110 to perform appropriate evaluations of the degraded battery cell. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notification NN 200973110. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affects the 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 issue 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 work practices because licensee management failed to define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance such that personnel follow procedures H.4(b)
