| Title | Failure to Verify Equipment or Systems are Capable of Performing Their Intended Design Function Following Maintenance |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a Green, self-revealed non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the licensees failure to ensure that maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment was properly pre-planned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented, instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. Specifically, the licensee failed to verify that the wiring in the transformer 7 primary differential protective relay was landed on the correct termination point, and as a result, the station experienced an unplanned loss of normal offsite power to bus NB01, the train A Class 1E electrical bus. The licensee took the immediate corrective actions of working with Westar to ensure the protective relay wiring termination issue for transformer 7 was identified and corrected, and that transformer 7 was returned to service. The licensee also updated procedure AP 21C-001 to include additional detail and steps that require work instructions for post maintenance testing of current transformer wiring to ensure independent verification of wiring terminations. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as Condition Reports 109467 and 116849. The licensees failure to verify that the primary and secondary differential relay circuitry is capable of performing its intended design function following maintenance was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors evaluated the finding using Exhibit 3, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions," of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase I Initial Screening and Characterization of Finding," and Appendix G, "Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process." The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined that the finding has a human performance cross-cutting aspect in the area of resources because leaders did not ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to support nuclear safety. This issue is indicative of current performance because the issue occurred in the last three years [H.1]. |
