NRC Inspection Finding Example V.C. Summer Nuclear Station The inspectors identified a Green Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the licensees failure to identify and correct a condition adverse to quality.

S Specifically, ifi ll th the licensee li ffailed il d tto id identify tif and d correctt iinadequacies d i in their emergency diesel generator (EDG) preventive maintenance program for monitoring engine driven pump seal leakage in accordance with vendor recommendations recommendations, leading to subsequent A EDG jacket water seal leakage going unidentified from June 1, 2010, until October 20, 2010. The licensee initiated Condition Report (CR)-10-03861 (CR) 10 03861 and implemented additional requirements and operator training to conduct proper seal leakage monitoring during subsequent EDG operations.
