Specifically, the licensee improperly backfilled an excavation performed to inspect buried piping. The improper backfill led to a catastrophic failure of the fire main. The performance deficiency was a violation. License conditions 2.C(4) and 2.C(3)(o) of the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 and Unit 2 Operating Licenses, respectively, require, in part, that the licensee implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program that comply with 10 CFR 50.48(a) and 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard NFPA 805, as specified in the licensees amendment request dated July 1, 2011, as supplemented, and as approved in the Safety Evaluation dated October 24, 2013.

Immediate actions included isolation of the faulted section of the fire main and repair of the break. The issue has been entered into the CAP as AR20167626. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because the performance deficiency was more than minor, because it impacted the mitigating system cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability of systems to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Appendix F, Attachment 1 dated September 20, 2013, the inspector determined that the licensee probable risk assessment should be reviewed to determined significance. With the short duration, the licensee determined the delta cdf to be less than (1e6). These results were reviewed and accepted by the Senior Reactor Analyst. The inspectors determined the finding included a cross cutting aspect of Challenge the Unknown, H.11, in the human performance area. |
