| Title | Failure to Properly Assess and Document the Basis for Operability associated with the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps Steam Exhaust Piping not being Evaluated for Tornado Generated Missile Impacts |
| Description | The team identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, associated the licensees failure to perform adequate operability assessments when a degraded or nonconforming condition was identified associated with the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps steam exhaust piping not being evaluated for tornado generated missile impacts. Specifically, operators used probabilistic assumptions and failed to adequately assess and document the basis for operability when a degraded or nonconforming condition was identified associated with the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps steam exhaust piping not being evaluated for tornado generated missile impacts. This issue does not represent an immediate safety concern because the licensee performed a subsequent operability evaluation, which established a reasonable expectation of operability. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program for resolution as Condition Report CR-2015-007919. The licensees failure to properly assess and document the basis for operability when a degraded or nonconforming condition associated with the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps steam exhaust piping not being evaluated for tornado generated missile impacts was identified, was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external events factors attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensee failed to evaluate a design nonconformance on the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps steam exhaust piping for lack of missile protection. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, dated June 19, 2012, the team determined that the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because (1) the finding was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating system; (2) the finding did not represent a loss of system and/or function; (3) the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time; and (4) the finding does not represent an actual loss of function of one or more non-technical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensees maintenance rule program for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The finding has a human performance cross-cutting aspect associated with conservative bias because individuals failed to use decision-making practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable [H.14]. |
