A finding of very low safety significance A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), Maintenance Rule, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to implement all necessary prescribed risk management actions during a Unit 3 250 Vdc battery system maintenance and testing window. Specifically, the licensee failed to post protected equipment signs for the Unit 2 systems whose unavailability would have taken the unit into a Red risk condition. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program. The inspectors determined that this performance deficiency is a finding and greater than minor because the licensee failed to perform a complete risk assessment including failing to review PARAGON, the licensees configuration risk management software, prior to commencing the maintenance task and as a result did not implement prescribed risk management actions of posting signs and barricades to protect the Unit 2 250 Vdc battery equipment during the Unit 3 250 Vdc battery work window; which is similar to Example 7.f in IMC 0612, Appendix E. The inspectors performed a Phase 1 screening with assistance from the Regional Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) using IMC 0609, Appendix K, Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process, Flowchart 2, Assessment of Risk Management Actions. The licensee provided core damage frequency (CDF) and large early release frequency (LERF) risk increase factors of 1.49 and 1.50, respectively, for the maintenance configuration, and a zero baseline CDF of 3.5E-6/yr. Given these values and assuming a maximum duration of 24 hours that the RMAs were not implemented, the SRA calculated an incremental core damage probability (ICDP) and incremental large early release probability (ICLERP) of 1.4E-8. Using flowchart 2, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the ICDP was less than 1E-6 and ILERP was less than 1E-7. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, Procedural Compliance because the licensee failed to conduct an adequate risk assessment prior to commencing maintenance activities and as such did not perform risk management actions required by procedure OP-AA-108-117, resulting in the missed postings for the protected pathway equipment.tings for the protected pathway equipment.
