| description = The inspectors identified a Green finding and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure the suitability of materials used in safety-related equipment. Specifically, the licensee made a change to the material used in ten safety-related pump bearing coolers without considering the potential effects of corrosion. As a result, a drain plug corroded and caused service water to spray, rendering two safety-related pumps inoperable. This issue was entered into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-ANO-2-2016-00550. The failure to consider the potential for corrosion in the design of safety-related equipment is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it adversely affected the design control attribute of the mitigating system cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, in each of the three examples, the licensee made changes to the plant where the potential effects of corrosion on safety-related equipment was not considered. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, the inspectors screened this finding as Green, because the finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function. The inspectors determined that this finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because the most significant contributor did not reflect current licensee performance. | | description = The inspectors identified a Green finding and an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the failure to ensure the suitability of materials used in safety-related equipment.
