| Title | Failure to Evaluate Heat Loads on Control Room Air Conditioning System |
| Description | Green. The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the licensees failure to properly evaluate heat loads on the control room air conditioning system. Specifically, the licensee used a non-conservative assumption for the number of persons in the control room envelope when calculating the required capacity of the system. The licensee had assumed there would only be six personnel in the technical support center (which is included in the control room envelope) during a design basis event. However, the emergency plan nominally staffed the technical support center with 25 station personnel, and an additional five NRC personnel. The licensee implemented immediate corrective actions by entering the issues into the corrective action program for resolution and performed an operability determination for the identified degraded condition. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2017-000744. The failure to evaluate heat loads to determine the required system capacity was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated October 7, 2016, and Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding: (1) was not a deficiency affecting the design and qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component, and did not result in a loss of operability or functionality, (2) did not represent a loss of system and/or function, (3) did not represent an actual loss of function of at least a single train for longer than its allowed outage time, or two separate safety systems out-of-service for longer than their technical specification allowed outage time, and (4) does not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program. The inspectors determined that no cross-cutting aspect was assigned because the performance deficiency was not reflective of present performance. |
