The inspectors identified a non-cited violThe inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, for the licensees failure to declare the RCIC system inoperable when the system was unreliable for an automatic start following a main turbine trip. The licensee addressed the underlying safety concern by installing a time delay into the circuit that had tripped the RCIC steam supply before RCIC received a start signal. The licensee entered the finding into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2012-06015. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance 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. In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 2, this finding screened to a detailed risk evaluation which determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). Because the most significant causal factor of the performance deficiency was that the organization had used the absence of information to determine RCIC operability, this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area associated with the decision-making component, because the licensee had failed to demonstrate that the proposed action was safe in order to proceed rather than a requirement to demonstrate that it was unsafe in order to disapprove the action. unsafe in order to disapprove the action.  +
