Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
Description | Technical Specification 3.6.1.3, Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.3.9, requires, verification of combined leakage rate of 1 gallon per minute times the total number of primary containment isolation valves through hydrostatically tested lines that penetrate the primary containment is not exceeded when these isolation valves are tested at greater than or equal to 1.1 times peak containment pressure. Contrary to the above, since June 6, 2012, the licensee failed to verify combined leakage rate of 1 gallon per minute times the total number of primary containment isolation valves through hydrostatically tested lines that penetrate the primary containment is not exceeded when these isolation valves are tested at greater than or equal to 1.1 times peak containment pressure. Specifically, the post-extended power uprate peak containment pressure analyzed increased to 14.8 psig, resulting in a new required test pressure of 16.28 psig. The licensee did not test primary containment isolation valves 1P11F130 and 1P11F131 using the new higher pressure. The licensee subsequently declared the valves inoperable and tested the two valves using the new peak containment pressure. The valves passed the surveillance test and were declared operable at 11:01 am on October 15, 2015. This finding was entered in the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2015-05072. The finding is more than minor because it was associated with the barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the licensee never performed Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.3.9, and therefore did not have presumption of operability to provide the reasonable assurance that containment would protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The significance of the finding was assessed using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions, and it was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). |
