| Title | Inadequate Prompt Determination of Operability for the HPCI System |
| Description | Green. An NRC identified NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings" was identified for the licensee's failure to accomplish the Prompt Determination of Operability (PDO) for CR 1039036 in accordance with the requirements of NEDP-22, "Operability Determinations and Functional Evaluations," Sections 3.2.2.E, 3.2.2.G, and Attachment 2. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee revised the PDO to include an evaluation that supported a reasonable expectation of operability. The licensee entered the violation into the corrective action program as CR 1219620. The performance deficiency was more-than-minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, after considering the inadequacies of the PDO, additional and significant evaluation was required to maintain reasonable assurance of the HPCI system operability. The doubt stemmed from uncertainty about the actual water level in the turbine, the expected transient severity, and the unanalyzed effects of the piping configuration. This finding was evaluated in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2 "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," dated June 19, 2012. The inspectors determined the finding was Green because it was a deficiency affecting the qualification of HPCI, but it maintained its operability. The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect of Evaluation in the Problem Identification and Resolution area [P.2], because the organization did not thoroughly investigate this issue commensurate with its potential safety significance. |
