| Title | Incorrect Installation of Annunciator System Wiring |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance was self-revealed at Braidwood Station when licensee personnel failed to properly install portions of the annunciator system circuitry in accordance with design specifications. Specifically, wiring in the annunciator system clock circuitry (the portion of the circuitry that allows annunciators to change status) was incorrectly installed, which resulted in an unexpected loss of all Braidwood Unit 2 control room annunciators on March 24, 2011. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as IR 1192465, corrected the wiring to provide the intended function, and revised procedures used to energize and de-energize the system. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, annunciator system redundancy was adversely affected and when the annunciator panels were de-energized, the ability of operators to identify and respond to abnormal plant conditions was degraded. Because the finding was not a design deficiency, did not result in a loss of safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event, the inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because it was not indicative of current performance. |
