Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
Description | Watts Bar Nuclear Plant TS 5.7.1.1 states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision. 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Procedures for surveillance tests are applicable procedures under RG 1.33 Appendix A, 8.b. Contrary to this requirement, on April 4, 2017, surveillance procedure 0-SI-82-4, 18 Month Loss of Offsite Power with Safety Injection Test DG 1B-B, Revision 63, was not implemented as written. Specifically, Step 3.1 [3] was not followed when the 1B-B safety injection pump discharge isolation valve was closed but not tagged as directed by the procedure. As a result of not being tagged, there was no programmatic control in place to return the valve to the open position upon completion of 0-SI-82-4. Therefore, the valve was left in the closed position, causing the B train of safety injection to be inoperable from April 11, 2017, until May 10, 2017, when the valve was discovered to be closed during operator rounds. Because the 1B safety injection pump was inoperable for longer than its TS allowed outage time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, a regional senior reactor analyst conducted a detailed risk evaluation using SAPHIRE (Version 8.1.5) and the standard model for Watts Bar (SPAR Version 8.50). The resulting change in core damage frequency was less than 1E-6; therefore, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR 1294133. |
