| Title | Failure to Adequately Evaluate the Enclosure Installed Over the 1F/1G Buses |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance involving the licensees failure to adequately evaluate the enclosure installed over the 1F/1G Buses to be in compliance with all applicable requirements. Specifically, the licensee did not ensure that the new enclosure would not affect start-up transformer 1-2 during a design basis wind event. There were no violations of NRC regulations identified. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program, which resulted in replacing inadequate eye-bolts. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Initiating Events Cornerstone attribute of transient initiator (loss of offsite power) and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability. Specifically, there was reasonable doubt as to whether the enclosure could have withstood a design wind event, which would have increased the probability that severe weather could have affected the ability of startup transformer 1-2 to provide offsite power. The finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because the transient initiator would not contribute to both the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood that mitigation equipment or functions will not be available. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in human performance because the licensee did not ensure reviews of safety significant decisions to verify the validity of the underlying assumptions or identify possible unintended consequences. Specifically, the licensees design reviews for the 1F/1G Bus enclosure modification did not address the potential impact on start-up transformer 1-2 if the enclosure failed during a design basis wind event. |
