| Title | Inadequate Maintenance Rule Monitoring of the Auxiliary Feedwater System |
| Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.65, Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants, for FENOCs failure to monitor the performance of the Unit 1 auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system against licensee-established goals. Specifically, FENOC did not identify and properly account for a maintenance preventable functional failure (MPFF) of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (TDAFW) pump, which demonstrated that performance of the Unit 1 AFW system was not being effectively controlled through appropriate preventive maintenance. FENOCs immediate corrective actions included entering this issue into their corrective action program, re-evaluating and classifying the TDAFW pump failure as a MPFF, performing a 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(1) evaluation of the Unit 1 AFW system, and placing the system in (a)(1) status. The performance deficiency was determined to be more-than-minor because it was associated with the Equipment 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. Additionally, example 7.d from IMC 0612 Appendix E details that a performance deficiency is more than minor if equipment performance problems were such that effective control of performance through appropriate preventive maintenance under (a)(2) could not be demonstrated. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) since it was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating structure, system, or component (SSC), it did not represent the loss of a system and/or function, it did not represent an actual loss of function of at least a single train or two separate safety systems out-of-service for greater than its technical specifications allowed outage time, and it did not represent an actual loss of a non-technical specification 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 />. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in Human Performance, Avoid Complacency, because FENOC failed to consider the extent of condition and their causes following the failure of the Unit 1 TDAFW pump on January 6, 2014 [H.12]. |
