Title | Failure to Ensure that Protective Devices for the Loads Required at the Beginning of a LOCA Would Not Trip Under Degraded Voltage Conditions |
Description | The team identified a finding of very-low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the licensees failure to ensure that the protective devices for the loads required at the beginning of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) would not trip under degraded voltage conditions. Specifically, the licensee did not verify that the connected Class 1E loads would not be damaged or become unavailable during a LOCA concurrent with a degraded voltage condition between the degraded voltage dropout setting and the loss of voltage setting for the degraded voltage time delay of 7.3 seconds and subsequent reconnection to the EDG. The licensee captured this issue in their CAP as CARD 16-26533 and performed a preliminary evaluation that reasonably determined the protective devices would not actuate during this condition. The performance deficiency was determined to be more-than-minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of design control and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of mitigating systems to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding screened as of very-low safety significance (Green) because it did not result in the loss of operability or functionality of mitigating systems. Specifically, the licensee performed an operability evaluation and reasonably determined that protective devices would not actuate during a degraded voltage concurrent with a LOCA. The team determined that the associated finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution because the licensee did not conduct a self-critical and objective assessment of its programs and practices. Specifically, the licensee evaluated a similar violation issued at a different licensee during the 2016 Component Design Bases Inspection Self-Assessment and concluded that no corrective actions were required. |
