The inspectors identified a finding of ver … The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1), 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), and 10 CFR 50.65(b) when licensee personnel failed to scope numerous high energy line break (HELB) hazard barrier dampers into the maintenance rule, as required. The function of these barriers was to protect safety-related equipment such as the emergency diesel generators (EDGs) and safety-related alternating current (AC) and DC buses and cables from credited HELB sources in the turbine building. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as IR 1310448. Corrective actions included scoping the dampers into the maintenance rule and assigning preventative maintenance performance monitoring criteria. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the failure to monitor damper performance and establish performance goals could adversely affect the availability, reliability, and capability of safety-related structures, systems and components protected by the hazard barrier. The inspectors determined the finding could be evaluated using the SDP in accordance with IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Phase I - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, Table 4a for the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The finding screened as having very low safety significance since it was not a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in a loss of operability or functionality. This finding was not indicative of current performance since the scoping aspects were determined prior to the rules effective date of July 10, 1996. As a result, a cross-cutting aspect was not assigned to this finding.g aspect was not assigned to this finding.
