| Title | Failure to Perform an Adequate Operability Determination for Missed Preventive Maintenance on Safety-Related Circuit Breakers |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, Drawings, which states, Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings. Specifically, River Bend Station failed to accomplish operability determination activities in accordance with Procedure EN-OP-104, Operability Determination Process, after the licensee identified that safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers exceeded their replacement and refurbishment schedule. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee completed a new operability determination, which determined the condition as operable, but degraded/nonconforming, established an interim inspection schedule and established a plan to refurbish the breakers prior to the next refueling outage. This condition has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2014-3872. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the mitigating system cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the operability determination performed did not consider the degraded condition of the circuit breaker so that effective interim or compensatory measures would be developed to ensure the reliability of the safety-related Division III 4160 Vac circuit breakers. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design or qualification deficiency that did not represent a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of nontechnical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk-significant due to seismic, flooding, or severe weather. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect associated with conservative bias in the area of human performance because licensee personnel failed to use conservative assumptions and did not verify the validity of the underlying assumptions used in making safety-significant decisions [H.14]. |
