| Title | Inadequate Corrective Actions for the C ERCW Pump Breaker |
| Description | The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the licensees failure to correct an identified deficiency in the C-A ERCW pump breaker on July 25, 2012. This uncorrected deficiency led to the inability of the breaker to trip and is a performance deficiency. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612 and determined that the finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern; specifically the failure of the C-A ERCW pump to load shed on a loss of offsite power. Additionally, the finding was associated with 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 (i.e., core damage). Using the Phase I screening worksheet of IMC 0609, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the associated shutdown board is a Unit 2 board and is lightly loaded. Additionally, the failure of the C-A ERCW pump breaker to trip and thus be immediately loaded onto 2A emergency diesel generator is within the transient capability of the emergency diesel generator. The cause of the finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect for appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance and complexity in the corrective action program component of the crosscutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution, in that the licensee failed to take adequate corrective actions to repair the C-A ERCW breaker when the initial deficiency was discovered on July 25, 2012. |
