Title | Inadequate Emergency and Abnormal Procedures for Standby Diesel Generator Fail to Load Sequences |
Description | The team identified a Green, noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, which states, in part, Instructions, procedures, and drawings shall include appropriate qualitative and quantitative criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. Specifically, prior to October 27, 2011, the licensee failed to include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria in procedures for control room operators to recognize and recover a standby diesel generator that starts but fails to load with the remaining standby diesel generator out of service during a loss-of-offsite-power event. This finding was entered into the licensee\'s corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-RBS-2011-07716, CR-RBS-2011-07717, and CR-RBS-2011-07718. The team determined that the failure to include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria to determine that important activities are satisfactorily accomplished in emergency and abnormal operating procedures used during loss-of-offsite-power events was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it is associated with the procedure quality attribute of the Mitigating System Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesired consequences. Specifica!!y, a control room operator crev/s failure to diagnose recoverable conditions adversely affected the availability of standby diesel generators during a loss-of-offsite-power event. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality, loss of a system safety function, loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage time, loss of one or more nontechnical specification risk significant equipment for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, operating experience component, because the licensee did not implement and institutionalize operating experience through changes to station processes, procedures, equipment, and training programs |
