Title | Failure to Write a Condition Report for Degraded Conditions Which Challenged Operability of Safety Related Equipment |
Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for Susquehanna failing to identify and correct conditions adverse to quality in a timely manner. Specifically, between April 16, 2016 and April 22, 2016, condition reports for potential or suspected degraded or non-conforming conditions related to the High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) were not written and operability determinations performed. In both cases, the equipment was subsequently declared inoperable due to the conditions. The issues were entered into the CAP and the equipment was taken out of service, repaired, and retested satisfactorily. The inspectors determined that there were two examples of the same performance deficiency and violation. In accordance with NRC Enforcement Manual Section 1.3.4, Documenting Multiple Examples of a Violation, multiple examples of a single violation are allowed to be documented as a single violation bounded by the characterization of the most significant example. The RCIC example is considered the most significant due to the longer exposure time in a required mode and number of mode changes that occurred during the exposure period. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensuring the capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure to identify and correct degraded conditions associated with a RCIC system lube oil leak which rendered that system inoperable. In accordance with IMC 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, dated June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that this finding screened to Green because the safety function was not lost, and the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of at least a single train for greater than its Tech Spec Allowed Outage Time or two separate safety systems out-of-service for greater than its Tech Spec Allowed Outage Time. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Teamwork, because individuals and work groups did not communicate and coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety is maintained. Specifically, in both examples, individuals were aware of potential degraded conditions but actions were not taken to communicate the activity to other groups, such as the control room operators, to allow for the issues to be evaluated for operability and determine if proposed actions were timely and/or appropriate.
