| Title | Failure to Identify a Non-Functional Flood Control Barrier |
| Description | An NRC-identified Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI was identified for the licensees fa ilure to identify a condition adverse to quality related to the material condition of the machinery equipment room (MER) 5 flood dike. Specifically, the inspectors identified on November 13, 2017, several bolts on the connecting plates of the dike that were visually not flush, and found to be loose. As a result, the licensee declared the MER 5 flood dike non-functional and the D and E main control room (MCR) chillers inoperable. This issue was documented in the licensees CAP as CR 1083839. As immediate corrective action, the licensee torqued all structural bolts to 12 ft-lbs and floor anchor nuts to 55 ft-lbs per WO 38103865619.The inspectors determined that failure to identify a condition adverse to quality associated with the material condition of the MER 5 flood dike was a PD. Specifically, the inspectors identified on November 13, 2017, several loose bolts on the connecting plates of the MER 5 flood dike. As a result, the licensee declared the MER-5 flood dike non-functional and the D and E main control room (MCR) chillers inoperable. The inspectors determined that the PD was more than minor because it was associated with the protection against external factors 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. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that WO 38103734871 and drawing 11548-FC-6L had fastener torque specifications and a re-torque requirement for the MER 5 dike after it was re-assembled; and failed to identify a non-functional MER 5 flood dike. Using IMC 0609.04, Initial Characterization of Findings, Table 2, dated June 19, 2012; the finding was determined to affect the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors screened the finding using IMC0609, Appendix A, SDP for Findings at-Power dated June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that a detailed risk evaluation was required. A detailed risk evaluation of the PD was performed in accordance with IMC 0609 Appendix A by a regional Senior ReactorAnalyst (SRA) using input from the licensees full scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment model. The result of the bounding analysis was an increase in core damage frequency due to the performance deficiency of <1E-6/year, a Green finding of very low safety significance.This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the evaluation component of the problem identification and resolution area, P.2, because the organization did not thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that resolutions address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, ETE SU-2017-0044, written for the May, 2017, non-functional MER 5 flood dike, did not thoroughly evaluate gasket type and bolting torque, when evaluating if epoxy was required for the assembly of the MER 5 flood dike. |
