| Title | Inadequate Qualification for Unit 1 Reactor Lower Compartment Cooler Motors |
| Description | The team identified a Green NCV of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations 50.49(f) Electrical Equipment Qualification when the licensee failed to perform an adequate similarity analysis for the environmental qualification of their Reliance 75 horsepower reactor lower compartment cooling fan motors. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR1366056 and performed an operability determination, which determined the reactor lower compartment cooling fan motors were operable but non-conforming in accordance with 10 CFR 50.49.
The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, failing to ensure the qualification of the reactor lower compartment cooling fan motors adversely affected their reliability and capability in the harsh environment of a design basis accident, which in turn adversely affected the reliability and capability of other environmentally qualified components that rely on the containment cooling system. In accordance with IMC 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Exhibit 2 of IMC 0609, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, the team determined that the finding was of very low significance (Green) because it was a design deficiency that potentially affected the design or qualification of a mitigating system; however, the mitigating system maintained its operability. The team determined there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding since it was not indicative of current licensee performance. |
