| Title | Inadequate Procedure Used to Vent the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System |
| Description | The team identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.5.3.1 because the licensee failed to establish an adequate procedure to demonstrate compliance with this surveillance requirement. This surveillance requires the licensee to Verify the RCIC System piping is filled with water from the pump discharge valve to the injection valve, every 31 days. To implement this requirement, the licensee vents the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) pump discharge leg from high point vents. However, the procedure failed to provide adequate qualitative or quantitative acceptance criteria to verify that the piping is maintained filled with water. This problem was previously documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000416/2007005 and entered into the corrective action program; however, the licensee failed to implement effective corrective actions. The failure of the licensee to effectively implement the surveillance requirement was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it affects the procedure quality 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. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not represent the loss of a system safety function and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather-initiating event. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the corrective action program component of the problem identification and resolution area because the licensee failed to take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity P.1(d |
