The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing f … The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing finding of very low safety significance that occurred because the licensee did not follow procedural guidance when changing materials used for feedwater heater level control valves. As a result, a feedwater heater normal level control valve failed unexpectedly, causing a trip of feedwater pump A and ultimately resulted in a plant trip. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution as condition report CR-WF3-2015-03563. The immediate action taken to restore compliance was to replace the valve internals with those of appropriate materials. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. A detailed risk evaluation determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The bounding change to the core damage frequency was less than 4E-7/year, and the finding was not significant with respect to the large early release frequency. The dominant core damage sequences included transients with the common-cause failure of the essential chilled water system and the failure of the turbine driven emergency feedwater pump. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the Evaluation aspect of the Problem Identification and Resolution area because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate the causes of several previous feedwater level control valve failures.us feedwater level control valve failures. +
