| Title | Failure to Disposition a Pipe Support in Accordance with ASME Code |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) for the licensee\'s failure earlier in 2011 to accept for continued service, by correction, or evaluation or test, a safety injection (SI) system support (SI-1501R-2-H1) whose examination detected a condition unacceptable (improper hot and/or cold setting) for continued service in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI Code. The licensee, having instead incorrectly dispositioned the condition with a system operability screening, subsequently completed an analysis to confirm that the support was operable with this configuration and entered this issue into its corrective action program. This finding was of more than minor significance because the licensee routinely failed to perform evaluations on similar issues. The failure to confirm the ability of this support to carry design loads as required by ASME Section XI Code prior to returning it to service, increased the likelihood of a component failure and adversely affected the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This finding was of very low safety significance based on answering No to the Phase I screening question identified in the Mitigating Systems column of Table 4a in Inspection Manual Chapter, Attachment 0609.04 Phase I - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, resources, because the licensees training was not adequate and failed to direct personnel to disposition an unacceptable condition in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Section XI Code |
