Technical Specification 3.5.3 Emergency Core Cooling System - Operating Conditions B and C On May 27, 2015, the licensee removed Unit 3 high pressure safety injection train A for planned maintenance. The following morning, during the maintenance, the licensee noted lube oil contamination, and determined that an outboard motor bearing had apparently failed during the last run following maintenance during the last refueling outage which involved disassembling and reassembling the bearing. The licensee identified procedural guidance inadequacies in the reassembly procedure that were the likely cause of the failure. The licensee could not perform required repairs in a controlled manner within the remaining action statement completion time, so on May 29, 2015, the licensee requested a Notice of
