| Title | Post-Maintenance Test Failed To Demonstrate Required Flow Through RCIC Room Cooler |
| Description | A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, was documented by the inspectors for the failure to perform adequate post-maintenance (PM) testing that would assure that the RCIC room cooler would perform its intended function when restored to service following maintenance. Specifically, the licensee declared the room cooler operable with insufficient cooling flow through the cooler. The licensee documented the issue in the CAP as AR 02447013. The licensee operated the RCIC room cooler outlet valve from its throttled position to fully open to flush the seat and the upstream piping and positioned the valve to maintain the required flow to restore the cooler to an operable condition. The failure to perform adequate PM testing that would assure that the RCIC room cooler would perform its intended function when restored to service following maintenance was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because it was associated with the procedure quality 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 and is, therefore, a finding. Using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings at Power, dated June 19, 2012, the finding was screened against the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and determined to need a detailed risk evaluation because the finding represents the loss of a system and/or function. The Region III Senior Reactor Analysts (SRAs) evaluated the finding using the Clinton Station Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) Model Version 8.17, Systems Analysis Programs for Hands-on Integrated Reliability Evaluations (SAPHIRE) Version 8.1.2. The SRAs reviewed the licensees Apparent Cause Investigation Report (IR) 2447013. The exposure time was assumed to be 150.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> based on information in that report. The SRAs modeled the condition using failure of the RCIC pump as a surrogate for failure of the RCIC room cooler. The basic event representing the RCIC pump failure-to-run was set to True for the 150.5 hour5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> duration. The result was a change in core damage frequency of 9.98E-08/yr. The dominant sequence was a station blackout initiating event; failure of high pressure core spray; failure of RCIC; and failure to recover offsite or emergency alternating current (AC) power within 30-minutes. Based on the detailed risk evaluation, the finding is best characterized as a finding of very low safety-significance (Green). The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance in the aspect of work management where the organization implements a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. The work process includes the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups of job activities. Specifically, the licensee failed to plan and execute adequate PM testing that would have ensured the satisfactory operation of the RCIC room cooler following planned maintenance. [H.5] |
