| Title | Failure to Implement Adequate Administrative Controls for Failed Containment Isolation Valve |
| Description | The inspectors identified a green noncited violation of Technical Specification 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves, after the licensee failed to implement adequate administrative controls following the failure of valve EGHV0059. On August 10, 2010, containment isolation valve EGHV0059 failed to indicate full closed in the control room. The licensee declared the valve inoperable and isolated the affected penetration flow path. To ensure reactor coolant pump cooling the licensee unisolated the penetration by opening valve EGHV0131 and placing it under administrative controls. The on-shift operations technician was assigned to isolate the penetration in the event containment isolation was required. The resident inspectors found the licensees administrative controls were not consistent with the requirements in the technical specification bases which required a dedicated operator at the valve. The licensee then stationed a dedicated operator at valve EGHV0131 while repairs were conducted on valve EGHV0059. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 201007644.
This finding is more than minor because it was associated with the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone attribute of procedural quality and affects the associated cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, the issue was determined to represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix H, Containment Integrity Significance Determination Process, the issue was determined to be a Type B finding of very low safety significance since the containment penetration was associated with a closed system and would generally not contribute to large early release frequency. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the resources component because the licensee failed to ensure procedures used for addressing administrative controls were accurate and consistent with the technical specification bases H.2(c) |
