The team identified a Green non-cited viol … The team identified a Green non-cited violation associated with Technical Specification 5.4.1(a), Procedures, which requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program, Appendix A, Section 5, requires procedures for Abnormal, Offnormal, or Alarm Conditions. Specifically, as of July 11, 2013, Procedure CP M-10, Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Equipment, Revision 27, Attachment 7.8, Temporary Ventilation for the Control Room, Inverter/Charger Rooms, and 480V Vital Switchgear Rooms and Charging Pump 1-3 Room, Section 4a, requires the use of two 24-inch diameter fans, which, if connected as directed, would not perform the function as prescribed by the procedure as the fans require more current than can be supplied from either the equipment room receptacles or from the alternate power source (the temporary generator and distribution panel). This finding was entered into the corrective action program as Notifications DN-50570838 and DN-50572295. The team determined that the failure to provide an adequate procedure for establishing temporary ventilation was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone as related to the availability, reliability, and capability of the 480V Vital Switchgear Rooms. The team reviewed this finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Attachment 0609.04; 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 2; and Inspection Manual 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 4, because it affected the External Event Mitigation Systems (Seismic/Fire/Flood/Severe Weather Protection Degraded) while the plant was at power and involved the loss or degradation of equipment specifically designed to mitigate an external initiating event such as a fire. Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 4, led to a Detailed Risk Evaluation because the finding would degrade two or more trains of a multi-train system or function and would degrade one or more trains of a system that supports a risk significant system or function. The bounding change to the core damage frequency was 4E-7/year (Green). The finding was not a significant contributor to the large early release frequency. The most dominant sequences included fires in Fire Area 34, failure of the 480 Vac switchgear cooling, and the failure of the manual action to restore cooling. The low frequency of applicable fires combined with the relatively low failure probability for the alternate cooling helped to reduce the risk. This finding had a human performance cross-cutting aspect associated with resources, because the licensee did not have adequate procedures and available facilities and equipment, including physical improvements, simulator fidelity and emergency facilities and equipment.ty and emergency facilities and equipment.
