| Title | Failure to Correct Conditions Adverse to Quality |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, associated with the licensees failure to correct a condition adverse to quality in safety-related equipment. Specifically, following an in-service testing failure of auxiliary feedwater check valve 2FW-091 in November 2012, the licensee performed an operability evaluation of the auxiliary feedwater system. However, the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to take corrective action to address the condition adverse to quality that resulted in the valve failing to seat properly. Consequently, the same valve failed a subsequent inservice test in November 2015. Following discovery of this issue, the licensee performed an operability determination that established a reasonable expectation of operability pending implementation of corrective actions. The licensee entered this issue into corrective action program as CR-2015-10961. The licensees failure to correct a condition adverse to quality 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 cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensee failed to correct auxiliary feedwater check valve 2FW-0191 failure to seat in November 2012 resulting in an additional failure in November 2015. Using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012, inspectors determined that this 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) did 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 finding has a problem identification and resolution cross-cutting aspect associated with evaluation, in that, the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that resolutions address extent of conditions. Specifically, the licensee failed to appropriately classify the issue of the check valve not seating and recognize this as a degraded condition [P.2]. |
