| Title | Incorrect Wiring Causes Transformer Lockout |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCVs of TS 3.8.1, AC Sources-Operating and TS 3.8.2, AC Sources-Shutdown, were self-revealed for the licensees failure to follow procedure RMP 90569B, 1X03, Protective Relay Calibration and Testing. Specifically, a wiring error in the 1X03 connection box, which occurred in 2013, caused the 1X03 transformers differential protection circuity to lockout the transformer at current levels below the design protection values. The licensees corrective actions included correcting the improper wiring in the 1X03 connection box and evaluating other work performed by the same vendor during that timeframe. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance and affected the cornerstone objective of limiting the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the lockout of 1X03 caused a loss of one of the licensees offsite power lines and also caused a loss of power to multiple station battery chargers placing Unit 2 into limiting condition for operation (LCO) 3.0.3. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, and Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 1, Initiating Events Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors answered Yes to the Support System Initiators question; therefore, a Detailed Risk Evaluation was required. Based on the conclusions in the Detailed Risk Evaluation, the SRA determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Avoid Complacency (H.12), in the area of Human Performance, for failing to implement appropriate error reduction tools. Specifically, the incorrectly performed procedure step, in RMP 9056-9B, clearly specified which terminal point to land the wires on, the terminal points were clearly labeled, and the step required a concurrent verification; however, even with those barriers in place, the task performers still landed the wires on the wrong location. |
