Title | Failure to Ensure Recurrence of Reactor Core Isolation Cooling Inoperability Due to Improper Controller Settings (Section 4OA3.3) |
Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, when the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system was declared inoperable on December 12, 2007, due to improper flow controller settings. The inspectors noted that the cause of RCIC inoperability on December 12, 2007, was the same cause of RCIC inoperability from January 21, 2006, to November 28, 2007. The licensee failed to perform adequate corrective actions to preclude repetition of a significant condition adverse to quality. As part of their immediate corrective actions, the licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program and adjusted flow controller settings to 1987 pre-startup settings when RCIC successfully injected into the reactor pressure vessel. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the reactor safety Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the controller settings affected the capability of the RCIC system to respond to initiating events as designed. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was determined that the period of inoperability was less than the TS-allowed outage time. The primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305 P.2(a) because the licensee failed to communicate relevant external operating experience in a timely manner.
