| Title | Failure to Establish Adequate Postmaintenance Tests for Replacement of Division 3 Safety Related Batteries |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, for the failure of the licensee to perform a required postmaintenance test of the division 3 safety-related batteries prior to system restoration. On May 22, 2012, the licensee replaced the division 3 safety-related battery HPCS-B1-DG3 under Work Order 02000618. The resident inspectors reviewed the work orders associated with the replacement of battery HPCS-B1-DG3 and identified that the licensee failed to incorporate either a modified performance discharge test or a battery service test into their postmaintenance testing for battery HPCS-B1-DG3 and restored the equipment to operable without meeting Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.4.3. Following identification, the licensee performed a battery service test and determined that the division 3 battery capacity was adequate to meet all operability requirements. The licensee initiated corrective action documents Action Requests AR 264204264204and AR 264214264214to address the failure to include all technical specification requirements into postmaintenance testing for battery HPCS-B1-DG3. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective of ensuring the reliability of systems that respond to initiating events. The inspectors performed an initial screening of the finding in accordance with IMC 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings. The inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was a qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability. The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision making component because the licensee failed to obtain an interdisciplinary review on the postmaintenance testing planned for battery HPCS-B1-DG3. Specifically, the shift manager failed to request input from system engineering and licensing on the decision to not perform a battery service test. |
