Title | Untimely Corrective Action for Previously Identified Non-Cited Violations |
Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, when licensee personnel failed to implement timely corrective actions to address two previously issued NCVs. The two NCVs were related to the lack of design analysis documentation associated with the Recycle Holdup Tank (RHUT); and tornado missile and seismic protection for the Diesel Oil Storage Tank (DOST) vent lines. Specifically, the licensee had not completed required design analyses for these issues at the conclusion of this inspection, although the violation associated with the RHUT was initially identified by NRC inspectors in June 2007 and the violation associated with the DOST vent lines was initially identified by NRC inspectors in February 2009. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as IR 1269928 and planned to complete the required analyses by April 2012. This finding was of more than minor significance because the issue was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Phase I - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and answered No to all the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone questions. Specifically, the issue did not result in the actual loss of the operability or functionality of a safety system. Therefore, the finding screened as having very low safety significance (Green). This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area (H.2(a)) because the licensee failed to maintain long-term plant safety through minimization of long-standing equipment issues. |
