| Title | Failure to Perform Adequate Maintenance on Containment Vacuum Relief Valve |
| Description | A Self-revealing Green Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1.a. was identified for the licensees failure to adequately implement a maintenance procedure associated with a vacuum relief containment isolation valve. Specifically, during a refueling outage on May 24, 2014, the licensee failed to properly install a locking wire associated with the spring tension bolts on the Unit 2 containment vacuum relief valve. This error ultimately led to a failure of the valve on June 24 at 1600 and entry into TS 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves. The valve was ultimately repaired and the valve was declared operable on June 26 at 0026. The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to adequately develop and implement a procedure governing the maintenance of a containment isolation valve was a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be greater than minor because it was associated with the Configuration Control attribute of Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstones objective to ensure the structural integrity of the containment boundary. Specifically, the finding challenged containment integrity. A screening analysis was conducted using the assumption that all core damage sequences would lead to a Large Early Release. This was an overestimation of risk, since actions to mitigate a release were possible. The short exposure time multiplied by the Core Damage Frequency for the plant resulted in less than a 1E-7 increase in Large Early Release Probability, and the finding is Green. The cause of this finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance component, relating to the assurance by supervision that procedures are adequate to ensure nuclear safety.
