| Title | Inadequate Operability Evaluation When Taking Emergency Diesel Generator Support Equipment Out of Service |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to perform an adequate operability evaluation on the train A emergency diesel generator when required support equipment was taken out of service for maintenance. This resulted in necessary compensatory actions not being in place when the support equipment was taken out of service. The immediate corrective action taken by the licensee was to perform a prompt operability determination and implement compensatory measures. The licensee plans to evaluate the current planned maintenance process for safety related support equipment. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 201502708. The licensees failure to perform a prompt operability determination after bounding conditions were applied to the immediate operability determination per plant procedures was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems 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 (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the failure of the licensee to perform an adequate operability evaluation resulted in the failure to implement required compensatory actions to maintain operability of the train A emergency diesel generator. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not affect system design, did not result in a loss of system function, did not represent a loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specifications allowed outage time, and did not cause the loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significance. This finding has a work management cross-cutting aspect in the human performance cross-cutting area because the licensee did not appropriately implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. Specifically, not having a clear work process for assessing operability of technical specification components when support systems are taken out of service for planned maintenance led to operators failing to adequately evaluate the operability of the train A emergency diesel generator [H.5]. |
