| Title | Secondary Containment Inoperability Due to Lapse in Procedure Use and Adherence |
| Description | A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1, Procedures, occurred on November 8, 2016, due to the licensees failure to follow procedures designed to ensure secondary containment integrity, when reactor building (RB) pressure relative to the outside environment was less than 0.25 inches water column (in WC) vacuum as required by TS 3.6.4.1, Secondary Containment. Specifically, work group personnel did not communicate to operations regarding degraded sealing surfaces on the RB Equipment Access outer door as required by procedure DAP 1303, Unit 2 Reactor Building Trackway Interlock Door Access Control, therefore when standby gas treatment (SBGT) started as a part of a planned surveillance test, vacuum lowered, rendering secondary containment inoperable. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and thus a finding, in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, because it was associated with the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone Attribute of Human Performance and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (secondary containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the drop in secondary containment differential pressure to less than 0.25 in WC vacuum, resulted in a loss of secondary containment and failure of its safety function as specified by TS 3.6.4.1 and Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) section 6.2.3. The inspectors applied IMC 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, issued October 7, 2016, to this finding. The inspectors answered No to all questions within Table 3, Significance Determination Process Appendix Router, and transitioned to IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors reviewed the Barrier Integrity Screening Questions in Appendix A, Exhibit 3 and answered Yes to question C.1. As a result, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Identification, because individuals failed to identify issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner in accordance with the program. Specifically, the licensee did not report a condition adverse to quality with regards to degraded seals on the RB equipment access outer door to operations as required by procedure DAP 1303, therefore not ensuring secondary containment integrity. |
