| Title | Failure to Identify and Correct a Refrigerant Leak in the Instrument Air Dryer System |
| Description | A self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criteria XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensees failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality related to the Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) system and the Control Room Emergency Ventilation (CREV) system. Specifically, the licensee failed to identify and correct a slow refrigerant leak in the instrument air dryer in the control building HVAC instrument air system, rendering both the control room AC and CREV systems inoperable. Upon discovery, the instrument air dryer was bypassed, air pressure was restored, and the control room AC and CREV systems were restored. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Action Request (AR) 502214. The failure to identify and correct the slowly lowering refrigerant pressure was a performance deficiency. This finding was more than minor because it was associated with the structure, system, and component (SSC) and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone. It also adversely affected the cornerstone objective of maintaining a radiological barrier for the control room. Specifically, the finding led to a loss of all air conditioning and filtering capability of control room air. The significance determination process was completed in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it only affected the radiological barrier function of the control room, and does not represent a degradation of the smoke or toxic atmosphere barrier function of the control room. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the corrective action program component of the Problem Identification and Resolution area because the licensee did not identify the issue completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance. |
