The team identified that Dominion failed tThe team identified that Dominion failed to ensure that a post-fire manual action to restore auxiliary feedwater (AFW) flow to a steam generator (SG) would be performed within 30 minutes of a plant trip consistent with the Millstone Unit 2 fire safe shutdown analysis. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) and a NCV of the Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 Operating License condition 2.C.(3), Fire Protection. The team determined that this finding was more than minor because it was associated with the external factors attribute (fire) of the mitigating systems 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, a timely manual action to restore AFW to SG 1 within 30 minutes of the plant trip for a fire in Fire Area R-2 was not ensured for all circumstances and was validated by Dominion in 1999 to take at least 40 minutes. This finding was similar to more than minor example 3.i in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues. The team assessed this finding in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process. This finding affected post-fire safe shutdown systems. This finding screened to very low safety significance (Green) in Phase 1 of the SDP because it was assigned a low degradation rating. A low degradation rating was assigned because Dominion performed a sensitivity analysis of S-02824-S2, Millstone Unit 2, R-2 Fire, Appendix R Analysis, Rev. 2, and determined that restoring AFW flow to steam generator 1 could be delayed for 50 minutes and result in acceptable plant performance during a safe shutdown event.
