| Title | Failure to Perform Operability Determinations for Nonconforming Conditions |
| Description | The team identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B,Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, that occurred when the licensee failed on two occasions to perform an operability determination for a nonconforming condition affecting numerous safety-related components. Following receipt of information from a vendor that more than 124 relays potentially installed in safety-related applications did not conform to quality requirements, licensee personnel failed to perform an operability evaluation. Later, during a Part 21 evaluation for the potential defect, the evaluator noted that an operability determination was needed, but failed to initiate the appropriate processes. After discussion with the team, the licensee documented this condition in Condition Report CR-WF3-2016-07710, declared the affected components operable, but degraded, and initiated actions to restore full qualification.Failures to perform an operability determination following identification of a nonconforming condition as required by station procedures were two examples of a performance deficiency.This performance deficiency was more-than-minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, dated June 19, 2012,the team determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not represent the actual loss of function of any system or train. The finding has an identification cross-cutting aspect in the problem identification and resolution cross-cuttingarea because licensee personnel failed to recognize a nonconforming condition as a condition adverse to quality (P.1). |
