| Title | Failure to Perform A TDAFW Surveillance In Accordance With Procedures |
| Description | The NRC identified a SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, at Watts Bar Unit 2 for the licensees failure to follow the surveillance test program procedure by making adjustments to the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump control system during the performance of a surveillance instruction. The licensee reperformed the surveillance instruction with satisfactory results. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CR 1167102. The performance deficiency was more than minor because making adjustments to the TDAFW pump control system during the performance of a surveillance instruction could invalidate the test and result in the TDAFW pump being inappropriately declared operable. As described in IMC 2517, the significance of this issue was determined using traditional enforcement, because the cornerstone associated with this finding was not being assessed by the reactor oversight process (ROP). The inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance, SL IV, because it represented a failure to meet a regulatory requirement, specifically a QA criteria to follow quality-related procedures, which had more than minor safety significance. The finding was assigned a cross-cutting aspect of Conservative Bias in the Human Performance area because numerous individuals were aware the speed adjustment had been made while completing the surveillance instruction but did not question the appropriateness of that adjustment until prompted by NRC inspectors. |
