| Title | Failure to Correct a Degraded Charging System Valve |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, for the licensees failure to correct a deficiency with a charging header vent valve. As a result, the valve failed open after an operator attempted to close the valve resulting in a 40 gpm charging system leak. The licensee entered the finding into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2011-001876. The licensees failure to correct a leaking vent valve was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the initiating events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective, in that, it increased the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during power operations. Using NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigating equipment would not be available. The finding did not have a crosscutting aspect because it was not representative of current licensee performance. |
