Title | Failure to Document a 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation For Changes Made to Procedure OI-38, Circulating Water System Operation |
Description | A Severity Level IV non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.59(d)(1), Changes, Tests, and Experiments, was identified by the inspectors for the failure to document an evaluation that provided a basis for the determination that the changes made to procedure OI-38, Circulating Water System Operation, did not require a license amendment. Specifically, the licensee failed to provide an evaluation that adequately documented that differences between the procedure changes modifying the operational configuration of the condenser steam dump system and operational considerations and design assumptions outlined within the final safety analysis report and the basis of technical specifications were acceptable. As part of its corrective action, the licensee revised the procedure to remove the original change to the operational configuration of the steam dump system. The violation was determined to be more than minor because the inspectors could not reasonably determine that the changes would not have ultimately required prior NRC approval. Violations of 10 CFR 50.59 are dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process instead of the Reactor Oversight Process Significance Determination Process (SDP) because they are considered to be violations that could potentially impede or impact the regulatory process. The underlying technical issue was evaluated under the SDP to determine the significance of the violation with respect to core damage probability. The issue screened as having very low safety significance because the inspectors answered no to all of the questions in the SDP worksheet. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the corrective action program element of problem identification and resolution because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate questions regarding differences between the plant operational configuration and assumptions in the current licensing basis when they did not complete a prompt operability evaluation to assess noted operational disparities. |
