Finding

Title

Failure to Maintain Design Control of the Control Building Chilled Water System

Description

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, associated with the failure to maintain temperature control of the safety-related battery rooms. An engineering evaluation to change a procedure to allow gagging open of the control building heating and ventilation system control temperature valves failed to consider the appropriate environmental temperature limits for the rooms. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2012-07353. The failure to maintain temperature control of the safety-related battery rooms was a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency is more-than-minor and is therefore a finding because it is associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, during a loss of offsite power with low seasonal temperatures, the gagged-open temperature control valve would reduce the battery rooms temperatures below their environmental design temperature and adversely affect the capacity of the safety-related batteries. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At Power, Exhibit 2, Section A.1, this finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component, and did not result in a loss of operability or functionality. The engineering evaluation that changed the proper battery room controls was performed in 1997. Therefore, the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the failed review is not indicative of current licensee performance
