| Title | Failure to Correct Conditions Adverse to Quality Related to IPS CKV-040-0604 and IPS 3A and 3B Sump Pumps |
| Description | The inspectors identified two examples of an NCV of the 10 CFR 50 Criteria XVI, Corrective Action, for failure to correct conditions adverse to quality for the intake pumping station (IPS) CKV-040-0604, pump 3B, discharge check valve which resulted in it being non-functional for an extended period of time, and both the IPS 3A and 3B sump pumps, which resulted in the pumps remaining in a degraded condition for an extended period of time. The licensees failure to maintain these components in accordance with the requirements of the augmented in-service testing program and WB-DC-40-29, Flood Protection Provisions, were performance deficiencies. The performance deficiencies were determined to be more than minor because, if left uncorrected, would lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, internal flooding of the IPS mechanical equipment room housing the train A essential raw cooling water (ERCW) strainers could occur. The inspectors performed a Phase 1 evaluation per IMC 0609, Attachment 4, and determined that the finding was potentially risk significant because it involved the degradation of equipment specifically designed to mitigate a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event (e.g., seismic snubbers, flooding barriers, tornado doors). Consequently a Phase 3 analysis was performed by a Senior Reactor Analyst. The analyst determined the finding was of very low safety significance, Green. These findings directly involved the cross-cutting area of Human Performance under the Work Practices component, in that, the licensee failed to provide adequate supervisory and management oversight to ensure corrective actions were taken to maintain the functionality of IPS equipment for extended periods of time. |
