| Title | Turbine Building Siding Failure Below Design Specifications |
| Description | A self-revealing finding was identified for wind induced turbine building siding failure that occurred significantly below design specified stress levels as a result of design and installation deficiencies. This resulted in a forced outage to repair transformer damage and to repair the turbine building siding. The licensee missed prior opportunities to identify turbine building siding design and installation deficiencies following damaging wind events in 1992 and 2005. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2008-5176. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the protection against external factors attribute (wind and grid stability) of the initiating events cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. The inspectors evaluated the significance of this finding using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, and determined it to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions would not be available (Section 4OA3). |
