A finding of very low safety significance … A finding of very low safety significance with an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was self-revealed when the Division 1 low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) outboard injection motoroperated valve failed to open during surveillance testing. The licensee failed to have preventive maintenance work instructions and procedures for safety-related moto</br>control center (MCC) inspections appropriate to the circumstances, such that appropriate steps were incorporated to ensure spare terminal screws were maintained tight. The licensee entered this violation into its corrective action program for evaluation and identification of appropriate corrective actions. Corrective actions for the event included revising preventive maintenance work instructions and procedures to include instructions to check accessible spare terminal screws for tightness, personnel training, and inspection of all engineered safety feature MCC positions with relays susceptible to loose or missing screws and for susceptible contactor orientations. The finding was of more than minor safety significance because it was related to the Equipment Reliability attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure of the Division 1 LPCI outboard isolation valve to stroke open affected the LPCI loop select logic function to respond to a design basis event. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance based on a detailed significance determination process review since the delta core damage frequency was determined to be less than 1.0E6/year. The inspectors concluded that because the inadequate procedures were in use for greater than three years, this issue would not be reflective of current licensee performance, and no cross-cutting aspect was identified.nd no cross-cutting aspect was identified.
