| Title | Failure to Perform Adequate Evaluation for Significant Conditions |
| Description | The inspectors identified a cited violation 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, because the licensee failed to perform an adequate evaluation to determine the cause of loss of offsite power induced water hammers and internal corrosion in the essential service water system and did not take corrective actions to preclude repetition of additional water hammer events and system leaks. Specifically, the licensee performed an apparent cause evaluation instead of a root cause evaluation as required, and the licensees evaluation did not consider metallurgical evaluations that were performed outside the corrective action program. The inspectors found that the licensee had not corrected a previous NCV 05000482/2009007-03, Failure to Correctly Screen ESW Piping Leaks for Significance, which resulted in the licensee failing to perform a root cause evaluation. Because the licensee failed to restore compliance within a reasonable time after NCV 05000482/2009007-03 was identified, this violation is being cited in a Notice of Violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. The licensees corrective action to this cited violation was to initiate Condition Reports 27212, 26466, and 27075, to evaluate and correct the identified conditions, to start a root cause evaluation and, separately, to evaluate the licensees failure to properly respond to NCV 05000482/2009007-03.
The issue was 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, and is therefore a finding. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, the issue is determined to have very low safety significance because the finding is not a design or qualification issue confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality; did not represent an actual loss of safety function of the system or train; did not result in the loss of one or more trains of nontechnical specification equipment; and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. The inspectors determined that the cause of the finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution associated with the component of corrective action program because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate problems such that the resolutions address causes and extent of conditions P.1(c) |
