The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFRThe inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, having very low safety significance for the licensees failure to ensure adequate acceptance limits were incorporated into test procedures. Specifically, the licensee failed to consider instrument loop uncertainties when determining the alert and required action values used in the IST procedure for testing of the containment spray (CS) pumps. Consequently, the acceptance criteria for both the upper and lower limits on total developed head (TDH) were non-conservative. As a result, the licensee subsequently entered the issue into their corrective action program, performed an operability evaluation and concluded equipment were operable. Additional corrective actions were assigned to investigate and correct the cause of the apparent degradation of the 2B CS pump. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstones attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the capability of the system to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the failure to consider instrument uncertainties in the development of IST acceptance criteria resulted in the creation of acceptance criteria values that did not ensure that the CS pump could meet its intended safety function. This finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the licensee was able to demonstrate pumps operability; therefore, there was no loss of safety function. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Operating Experience, because the licensee failed to implement relevant information relating to failure to appropriately account for instrument uncertainties identified in Information Notice 2008-02 through changes to station procedures.
