| Title | Failure to Correctly Implement Plant Maintenance Procedures |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, for the licensees failure to correctly follow maintenance procedures which resulted in a failure of motor-operated valve EFHV0065 associated with the ultimate heat sink train A cooling tower. To perform its safety function the valve must be capable of being closed. On September 15, 2010, the mechanical maintenance department removed and rebuilt the actuator for the motor-operated valve. The valve actuator stop nuts were not set correctly and remained set outside the range of the electrical limits due to electrical maintenance workers failing to complete the procedure and work instructions initiated by the mechanical department. On June 22, 2011, an attempt to manually align essential service water return over the train A safety-related cooling tower failed when the motor-operated valve was manually positioned past the zero percent open position due to the improperly set stop nuts. This disengaged the valve operator worm from its worm gear, opened the valve, and rendered the valve being incapable of being closed. The immediate corrective action to replace the valve actuator was completed on June 23, 2011. The licensee initiated Callaway Action Request 201105074 to evaluate cause and extent-of-condition and specify corrective actions. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affects the associated cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Manual Chapter 0609.04, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, this finding was of very low safety significance because it did not create a loss of system safety function of a single train for greater than the technical specification allowed outage times, and did not affect seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating events. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work controls component because the mechanical and electrical maintenance technicians failed to adequately maintain interfaces to communicate, coordinate, and cooperate with each other during activities in which interdepartmental coordination is necessary to assure plant and human performance. |
