Title | Failure to Perform Required O-ring Replacement to Maintain Qualification |
Description | The NRC identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50.49, Environmental qualification of electric equipment important to safety for nuclear power plants, for the licensees failure to correctly identify the maintenance required to maintain the core exit thermocouple reference junction box in a qualified state. Specifically, the licensee did not identify that the qualifying entity required that the cover O-ring be replaced on a 5 year frequency in addition to being replaced any time the junction box cover was removed, and due to this, the O-rings have not been replaced since original installation. In response to the issue, Robinson staff placed the issue in their corrective action program as NCRs 2157897 and 2161580, and demonstrated operability via analysis of the qualification test results. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, not maintaining the equipment in its qualified configuration affected its reliability. The inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component (SSC), and the SSC maintained its operability or functionality. A cross-cutting aspect was not assigned because the finding was not indicative of current licensee performance. |
