The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance involving the licensee\'s seismic monitoring system. Specifically, the inspectors identified that the licensee had not appropriately prioritized restoration activities for three channels of the station\'s seismic monitoring system following a scheduled instrument calibration surveillance during which a fourth channel had failed calibration. During several ensuing weeks, the licensee missed several opportunities to identify the exact nature of the 2 Enclosure problem and restore the three potentially available and
operable channels of the system to service. Because the seismic monitoring system was not within the scope of
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, no violation of regulatory requirements was identified in conjunction with the finding. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program (
CAP) as issue report (IR) 725240. Corrective actions planned and completed by the licensee included sending out an internal operating experience communication on the seismic monitoring system. In addition, the inspectors determined that the finding was related primarily to the cross cutting area of
PI&R as defined in NRC
IMC 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, since the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions to address the partial restoration of potentially available channels of the seismic monitoring system in a timely manner (Aspect
P.1(d)). (Section 4OA2.3
