The NRC identified a non-cited violation (The NRC identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the licensees failure to translate the design basis time limit for the alignment of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) to cold leg recirculation into their time critical operator action procedure. Specifically, the licensee failed to translate the ECCS to cold leg recirculation alignment activity time requirement of 9 minutes and 25 seconds from calculation SM-94-0452-001, RWST Depletion During Injection Mode with LOCA Until Switchover to Recirculation, Version 5.0, and UFSAR Table 6.3-4, into procedure NMP- OS-014-001, FNP Time Critical Operator Action Program, Version 4.0. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as condition report 10365952 and determined that operability was not impacted due to conservatisms in the calculation and recent operating crew simulator performance. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the procedure quality 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 licensees failure to translate the correct design basis time requirement into their acceptance criteria in procedure NMP-OS-014-001 resulted in several unidentified periodic time validation failures without remediation, therefore adversely affecting the licensees capability and reliability of aligning safety-related equipment needed during a loss of coolant accident within the established design basis time limits. The team determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was a deficiency affecting the design and qualification of a mitigating system, structure, or component (SSC), and the SSC maintained its operability. The team determined that no cross-cutting aspect was applicable because the finding did not reflect current licensee performance. not reflect current licensee performance.
