Title

LICENSEE-IDENTIFIED Violation

Description

TS LCO 3.3.6.1, Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation, in part, required that the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) Steam Line Flow-High Isolation Function for both the A and B Channels be operable in Modes 1, 2, and 3 with an allowed outage time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months for one inoperable channel; or isolate the affected penetration flow path within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months ; or place the unit in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months and Mode 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months . However, the licensee discovered that rubber boots had been inadvertently left installed on the channel B contacts for RCIC Steam Line Flow-High Isolation from April 9 to April 26, 2010. This rendered one of the two TS required channels of the RCIC Steam Line Flow-High Isolation Function as inoperable for a period much greater than the TS allowed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months , without the licensee taking the required TS 3.3.6.1 actions. This TS violation was entered into the licensees CAP as PER 226666. Even though the finding represented an actual loss of function of a single channel of RCIC Steam Line Flow-High Isolation for greater than its TS allowed outage time, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the redundant A Channel isolation function remained operable and would have isolated the Unit 2 RCIC system on a RCIC Steam Flow-High signal as needed.
