| Title | Failure To Correct A Lpsi Pump Design Deficiency |
| Description | An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions was identified for the licensees failure to correct an identified condition adverse to quality associated with Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) pump casing distortion. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement corrective actions to address an identified LPSI pump design deficiency, which resulted in failure of the 2A LPSI pump in March 2009. This issue was documented in the licensees corrective action program as condition report 2009-16124. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the equipment reliability attribute of the Mitigating Cornerstone and it adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure to correct the LPSI pump design deficiency impacts the availability, reliability, and capability of the LPSI system to respond to plant events. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609.04, Significant Determination Process Phase 1 screening, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not result in a loss of system safety function or a loss of safety function of a single train for greater than allowed Technical Specification allowed outage time. The finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of work practices, resources because the licensee failed to ensure that equipment is available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically, the licensee failed to maintain long term plant safety by minimizing longstanding LPSI pump design issues. |
