| Title | Failure to Maintain an Adequate Flooding Analysis |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, after AmerenUE failed to provide adequate design control measures for verifying the adequacy of flooding analysis for the auxiliary feedwater pipe chase room 1206/1207. The revised calculation, performed on December 4, 2001, determined that the 10-inch piping from the condensate storage tank going to the main condenser was the limiting source of potential flooding. However several missing or incorrect assumptions challenged the basis for operability of safety related auxiliary feedwater pump related transmitters located in the room 22 inches above the floor level. On December 16, 2009, the licensee reperformed the flooding analysis calculation, M-FL-04, Revision 5, including the main condenser as an additional source of flooding. Although 984 gpm of margin was lost due to inclusion of the condenser as a source, the revised analysis supported an operability determination for the transmitters as operable. This finding was determined to be greater than minor because it impacted the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, this issue screened as very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency that resulted in a loss of operability or functionality, did not create a loss of system safety function of a single train for greater than the technical specification allowed outage time, and did not increase the likelihood of a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding was determined to not have a crosscutting aspect as the calculation of record was not reflective of current licensee performanc |
