Title | Failure to Conduct Common Cause Failure Evaluation in Response to Inoperable Emergency Diesel Generator |
Description | The inspectors identified three instances of a non-cited violation of Technical Specification 3.8.1, AC Sources Operating, for the licensees failure to take required actions for an inoperable emergency diesel generator. Specifically, after classifying the Division I or Division II emergency diesel generator as inoperable on the basis of nonconforming conditions, and after failing to either verify that the opposite train emergency diesel generator was not inoperable due to common cause failure within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or conduct a surveillance run on the opposite train emergency diesel generator within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the licensee failed to enter Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> as required by Technical Specification 3.8.1, Actions B.3.1, B.3.2, and G.1, respectively. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2017-11393. The licensee initiated corrective actions to conduct an adverse condition analysis. The failure to take required actions for an inoperable emergency diesel generator was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Actions B.3.1 and B.3.2 of Technical Specification 3.8.1 exist to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of at least one emergency diesel generator in scenarios where there is a potential for a common cause failure of both emergency diesel generators, and the licensee took neither action. Using Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of either the Division I or Division II emergency diesel generator for greater than its technical specifications allowed outage time. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, consistent process, because the licensee failed to use a consistent, systematic approach to make decisions. Specifically, the licensee failed to review the required actions of the applicable technical specification to ensure that all of those actions would be properly carried out [H.13]. |
