The NRC identified a violation of 10 CFR 5The NRC identified a violation of 10 CFR 50.48(c) for the licensees failure to properly identify circuits required for the nuclear safety function. Specifically, the licensees Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment (NSCA) failed to identify that fire-induced failure of cables associated with the undervoltage trip function of the 4KV Shutdown Board could cause the shutdown board to not shed loads upon an undervoltage condition. This could lead to overloading the emergency diesel generator (EDG) credited for powering the shutdown board. This item was entered into the CAP as CR 1199002. The affected area was already covered by an hourly roving fire watch as a compensatory measure. Additionally, the licensee submitted EN 52150 to the NRC, documenting this as an unanalyzed condition. The licensees failure to identify circuits required for the nuclear safety function, as required by Section 2.4.2.2.1 of NFPA 805 was a PD. The PD was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safety mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors (i.e., fire) and it adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensees failure to analyze the effects of fire damage on the 4kV shutdown bus undervoltage circuitry could result in overloading the emergency diesel generator (EDG) credited for powering the shutdown board. Using the guidance of IMC 0609, App. F, the finding was screened as Green because the risk increase associated with the finding was an increase of core damage frequency of <1E-6/year. There was no cross cutting aspect assigned to this finding because it was not indicative of current licensee performance since the original ignition source and target walkdowns were performed more than 3 years ago. (Section 1R05.06)rmed more than 3 years ago. (Section 1R05.06)  +
