PIM NRC NCV Mitigating Systems Green December 20,2002 711110ST Failure to Maintain One Train of Charging Pumps Free of Fire Damage Green. The licensee failed to assure that at least one train of charging pumps was free of fire damage. A fire in either of two different fire areas could result in the loss of normal charging, which is credited in the licensee's post-fire safe shutdown analysis for maintaining reactor coolant system inventory.
The team identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2.
This finding was of greater than minor significance because it impacted the mitigating systems cornerstone. This resulted from the finding's potential to affect the licensee's capability to maintain reactor coolant system inventory control in response to a fire in either Fire Areas 6 or 36A. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, due to the fact that operators would have sufficient time to perform manual actions to restore at least one train of the charging system prior to reactor coolant makeup being required. Because of the low safety significance and the licensee's actions to initiate compensatory measures and place the issue into their corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation in accordance with Section VL.A of the Enforcement Policy (50-285/0302-01) (Section 1 R05.2).
