The team identified a finding of very low … The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of Limerick Generating Station License Condition 2.C.(3), Fire Protection, which states Exelon Generation Company shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved Fire Protection Program as described in the UFSAR. Specifically, the team found that Exelon\'s multiple high impedance fault (MHIF) analysis, developed to verify that post-fire safe shutdown equipment would remain available, used non-conservative over current trip set points for 480 volt over current protection devices. Specifically, the team found that molded case circuit breaker over current protection did not protect against all possible faults currents that could be present on downstream equipment. As a result, fault current greater than that assumed in the MHIF analysis could propagate past the circuit breaker and trip upstream equipment. Exelon entered the issue into their corrective action program and performed an analysis that showed credited equipment would be available. The team concluded the results of the work performed were reasonable. The team determined that Exelon\'s selection of breaker trip values for use in the MHIF analysis was non-conservative and was a performance deficiency. Specifically, the post-fire safe shutdown MHIF analysis did not use worst case or maximum fault current to verify that fire induced fault currents that propagated past branch feeder circuit breakers would not cause the motor control center source breaker to overload and trip. This issue was more than minor because it was similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor issues, Example 3.j, in that the design analysis deficiency resulted in a condition where the team had reasonable doubt of operability of the MCC during a fire. In addition, this issue was associated with the Fire Protection 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. The team determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding affected the post-fire safe shutdown category and it had a low degradation rating. This finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the design requirements of the breakers had not changed from initial startup and therefore it does not reflect current licensee performance. not reflect current licensee performance.
