| Title | Relays not Environmentally Qualified |
| Description | Green. The inspectors identified a non- cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, associated with the licensees failure to assure that design changes were subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. Specifically, the licensee changed internal components for safety -related, steam generator atmospheric relief valve booster relays but failed to verify that these new components could withstand the environment created during a high energy line break. This issue does not represent an immediate safety concern because the licensee performed an operability determination which established a reasonable expectation for operability, and implemented corrective actions to replace the relays with qualified relays. The licensee 4 entered this issue into the corrective action program for resolution as Condition Report CR- 2017- 006236. The failure to ensure that changes to the facility were subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the associated 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 did not assign a cross -cutting aspect because the performance deficiency was not reflective of present performance |
