The inspectors identified a Green non-citeThe inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for Dominions failure to take adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving a longstanding degraded condition impacting the Unit 2 charging pumps. Specifically, since January 2006, Dominion did not take timely and appropriate corrective actions commensurate with the potential safety significance as the condition presented a potential common cause failure of the charging pumps. Dominions short-term corrective actions included corrective maintenance on degraded charging pump internal check valves, a reasonable assurance of continued operability evaluation, and development of a charging pump troubleshooting plan. The finding is more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the degraded condition resulted in unplanned unavailability of the safety-related charging pumps and represented a challenge to the reliability of the charging system due to the common mode failure vulnerability. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency confirmed not to result in loss of system safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program Component, because Dominion did not take appropriate corrective actions to address a safety issue and adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with the safety significance and complexity of the issue (P.1.d).
