The inspectors identified a Green NCV of tThe inspectors identified a Green NCV of the Unit 1 Operating License Condition 2.C because PSEG did not maintain an adequate CO2 inventory to ensure the operability of the installed deluge fire suppression system in accordance with the approved Fire Protection Plan. Specifically, the CO2 tank liquid level gage was not calibrated periodically, the gage was stuck at 72 percent level for a period of five months, and the tank lost pressure and was inoperable because it was empty on September 1, 2012. This issue was entered into PSEGs corrective action program (CAP) as notification 20573227. PSEGs immediate corrective actions were to establish compensatory measures to restore fire protection system operability of the affected spaces on September 2, 2012, and then to complete replacement of the failed tank liquid level gage, leak check the tank and associated piping, and refill the liquid CO2 tank to restore the CO2 tank to operable status on October 23, 2012. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it affected the protection against external factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, in that it impacted automatic fire suppression capability, and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability of systems that respond to external events. The finding was evaluated under IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. The conditional core damage probability was calculated utilizing SAPHIRE 8 for Salem Unit 1. Since the delta core damage frequency calculated in step 2.1.4 of Appendix F was less than the value specified in table 2.1.3, Phase 2 Screening Step 1 Quantitative Screening Criteria, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work control component. PSEG did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to plan work activities to support long-term equipment reliability by limiting safety system unavailability and reliance on manual actions. Specifically, a liquid level gage calibration preventive maintenance (PM) to maintain operability of the ten ton CO2 tank was created in accordance with vendor guidance in 2008, but the PM had not been implemented as of September 1, 2012. been implemented as of September 1, 2012.
