The inspectors identified a finding of verThe inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure sufficient water volume in the condensate storage tank when both units auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps are aligned to a single condensate storage tank (CST.) Specifically, the licensee failed to perform a calculation to demonstrate sufficient volume and level to prevent net positive suction head and vortex issues when a single CST is providing water to all six AFW pumps as allowed by procedures. The licensees corrective action included performing a formal calculation and increasing the available water volume in the CST when both units AFW pumps are cross-tied. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating System Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding screened as of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of operability. Specifically, the licensee performed an operability determination which concluded the actual useable tank level during the previous 12 months had been sufficient. The inspectors determined the cause of this finding did not represent current licensee performance and, thus, no cross-cutting aspect was assigned.hus, no cross-cutting aspect was assigned.  +
