| Title | Failure To Establish 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) Performance Goals for the APDGs |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1), Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants, that states, in part, that the licensee shall monitor the performance or condition of structures, systems, or components, against licensee established goals, in a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that these structures, systems, and components are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. Specifically, on July 26, 2012, the licensee failed to establish goals and monitor the performance of the alternate power diesel generator system to ensure the system is capable of providing the necessary electric power onto the emergency buses. The finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2013-006521. The inspectors determined that the failure to follow procedure to establish performance goals while performing Maintenance Rule (a)(1) monitoring to ensure the APDG system is capable and tested to meet the design basis requirements, was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency is more-than-minor because it was associated with the Reactor Safety, Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, Equipment Performance attribute and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensuring the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the procedure directs the licensee to establish performance goals on activities that address conditions which were determined to be classified as (a)(1). In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, the inspectors determined that the finding affected the Mitigating System Cornerstone. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low (Green) safety significance because the finding was not a design deficiency and did not result in the loss of operability or functionality. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the resources component because the licensee failed to ensure that emergency equipment is adequate and available to assure nuclear safety. |
