| Title | Untimely Corrective Action for Condition Adverse to Fire Protection |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of License Conditions 2.C.7, 2.C.6, and 2.F for Palo Verde Units 1, 2, and 3 for the licensees failure to take timely corrective actions for a condition adverse to fire protection. Specifically, in 2004, the licensee identified that line thermal detection for 13.8 Kilo Volt cabling in three fire areas were not in conformance with vendor technical documents. Since then, corrective actions for the condition failed to be implemented as scheduled. After several spurious actuations of the fire protection system, the licensee installed the appropriately rated wire in Unit 1 and will install the appropriate detection in Units 2 and 3, respectively, at the next available outage. The licensee entered this issue into the licensees corrective action program as Palo Verde Action Request (PVAR) 4201472. The failure to take timely corrective actions for a condition adverse to fire protection was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it affected the protection against external factors of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and its objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. The inspectors evaluated the significance of the issue under the Significance Determination Process, as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. The finding was determined to be a low degradation of the fixed fire protection system and screens to green using step 1.3.1. The inspectors determined this finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the corrective action program component because the licensee failed to prioritize corrective actions for conditions adverse to fire protection. |
