A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 … A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified for the failure to conduct excavation work such that it would ensure that design basis requirements for tornado missile protection and seismic qualification of safety-related cables were maintained during construction near the essential service water pump house. Specifically, when excavation near underground essential service water cables caused a loss of safety-related backfill over the cables, the licensee did not plan and execute the work in a manner that ensured that the qualified soil coverage around the train B essential service water duct bank was maintained by protecting against trench cave-ins. Failure to maintain adequate soil coverage of the essential service water duct banks during construction is a performance deficiency. The deficiency is more than minor because it affected the protection against external factors and design control attributes of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using the Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 4, External Events Screening Questions, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve the total loss of any safety function that contributes to external event initiated core damage accident sequences. The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of work management in the area of human performance in that the process for planning, controlling, and executing work did not adequately include the identification and management of risk. Specifically, work planning did not account for adequate shoring material to prevent design basis ground cover from caving in during planned excavations in the vicinity of operable safety related equipment.nity of operable safety related equipment. +
