Title | Failure to Perform Periodic Testing Of Safety-Related Valve Interlocks |
Description | The NRC identified a Green, non-cited violation of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.55a(h)(2) Protection Systems, because the licensee failed to perform periodic testing of safety-related valve interlocks to ensure an adequate single failure analysis by identifying detectable failures in accordance with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standard (IEEE) 379-1972, IEEE Trial-Use Guide for the Application of the Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Generating Station Protection Systems. The violation was entered into the licensees corrective action program as condition report 10293749. The licensee performed an immediate determination of operability and determined that the affected systems were operable but degraded nonconforming. The licensee was in the process of determining and developing adequate corrective actions to conform with Institute of IEEE Standard 379-1972. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure to periodically test safety-related valve interlocks affected the adequacy of the licensees single failure analysis. The team determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a design deficiency, did not represent a loss of system and/or function, and did not represent the loss of any trains of technical specification or nontechnical specification equipment. The team did not assign a crosscutting aspect because the most significant contributor did not reflect current licensee performance. |
