Procedure 'C-335 CMS Maintenance And Testing' requires an audibility check if the as-found values for the regulator air pressure drift feeding the Criticality Accident Alarm System (CMS) air horns is >?12 psig. However, an audibility check was not performed as required at six locations all on the cell floor of the process building that were discovered to be out-of-tolerance. All air pressure regulators were adjusted to within acceptable-as-left tolerances prior to the system being made operable on April 28. | | event text = While reviewing Maintenance Work Package 'Performance of the C-335 Annual CMS Surveillance' from April 28, 2012 an error was identified.

Without the audibility testing being performed, the audibility of the C-335 CMS was questionable prior to the April testing. On June 13, 2012, a work package was developed to recreate the pressures encountered on April 28 and to test the audibility of the CMS. Subsequent testing has shown that three of the CMS horns fed by out-of-tolerance pressure regulators may not have provided the required sound levels necessary for audibility in those areas. This is failure of safety equipment required by TSR 2.4.4.2. | Without the audibility testing being performed, the audibility of the C-335 CMS was questionable prior to the April testing.
