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, in January 2005, to take adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality involving a non-conservative in-service test (IST) procedure for two safety injection (SI) valves (2-SI-659/660). Specifically, Dominion did not update a supporting calculation and make the appropriate changes to the associated IST acceptance criteria for these SI valves. These valves have a design basis function to close on a safety recirculation actuation signal to prevent radioactive release to the environment through the normally vented refueling water storage tank (RWST). In February 2008, Engineering performed a prompt operability determination and determined that the valves remained operable (based on the most recent IST results, calculation review, valve design margin, trend data, and engineering judgment). The finding is more than minor because it affected the reactor coolant system equipment and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, Dominions non-conservative leakage test did not provide reasonable assurance that the SI valves would provide adequate isolation to preclude a post-accident release through the vented RWST. In addition, the finding is similar to NRC IMC 0612, Appendix E, Example 3.j, because a calculation error resulted in a condition where there was a reasonable doubt on the operability of the associated SI valves. This finding is of very low significance because it did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment. (Section 4OA2.a.3.c) reactor containment.
