12Enclosure1R11Licensed Operator Requalification Program.1Biennial Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the facility operating history and associated documents inpreparation for this inspection. During the week of August 14, 2006, the inspectors reviewed documentation, interviewed licensee personnel, and observed the administration of simulator operating tests associated with the licensee's operator requalification program. Each of the activities performed by the inspectors was done to assess the effectiveness of the licensee in implementing requalification requirements identified in 10 CFR 55, Operators' Licenses. The evaluations were also performed to determine if the licensee effectively implemented operator requalification guidelines established in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, and Inspection Procedure 71111.11, Licensed Operator Requalification Program. The inspectors also reviewed and evaluated the licensee's simulation facility for adequacy in operator licensing examinations. The inspectors observed two operator crews during the performance of the operating tests. Documentation reviewed included written examinations, job performance measures (JPMs), simulator scenarios, licensee procedures, on-shift records, simulator modification request records and performance test records, the feedback process, licensed operator qualification records, remediation plans, watchstanding, and medical records. The records were inspected against the criteria listed in Inspection Procedure 71111.11. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the attachment to this report.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) associated with multipleoperators who potentially reactivated their reactor operator (RO) and senior reactor operator (SRO) licenses in accordance with Procedure OPDP-1, Conduct of Operations, incorrectly.Description: During the biennial requalification inspection, the inspectors identified thatRO/SRO licenses were reactivated without following the guidance in Procedure OPDP-1, which required a plant tour with a licensed operator that included those areas covered by shift rounds. OPDP-1 implemented the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(f) which specifies that in order to activate an operator license, a complete tour of the plant shall be completed with a licensed operator. The inspectors compared the information contained in four reactivation records with vitalarea computer access records to verify the plant tours were performed as indicated.

The inspectors identified that two operators had potentially not satisfied the requirements for conducting a complete plant tour as part of reactivating their RO or SRO license respectively. The licensee was not able to provide documentation, in the form of security card reader records, that would confirm that an RO performed his tour in the presence of an active RO or SRO licensed individual. Also, records supplied by 13Enclosurethe licensee showed that an SRO who was reactivating his license performed his tourwith an SRO whose license was not currently active.

Analysis:

The potential failure to properly reactivate an RO or SRO license could impactthe reactivating individual's knowledge of current plant status. The issue is associated with the mitigating systems cornerstone, because it deals with human performance attributes that affect the availability, reliability, and capability of licensed operators to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

Enforcement:

10 CFR 55.53(f), Conditions of a License, states, in part, that the licenseehas completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the direction of an operator or senior operator as appropriate and in the position to which the individual will be assigned. The 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> must have included a complete tour of the plant and all required shift turnover procedures. To ensure 10 CFR 55.53

(f) requirements are satisfied, the licensee has established Procedure OPDP-1, Conduct of Operations P, which states, "The licensee has completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the directions of an active RO or SRO and in the position to which the operator is to be assigned. The 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> must include a complete plant tour (with an active licensed operator) of the plant and a review of all required shift turnover procedures. This tour shall be in those areas covered by shift rounds." TS 5.7.1.1(a) requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintainedcovering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, Administrative Procedures. OPDP-1 is a written procedure that is required by TS 5.7.1.1(a). On August 18, 2006, the inspectors identified that the licensee potentially failed toproperly reactivate two licensed operators on May 20, 2005, and January 21, 2006, in accordance with procedure OPDP-1. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as PER 108957. This item is identified as URI 05000390/2006005-01, Potential failure to properly reactivate RO/SRO licenses, and is unresolved pending additional NRC review of the circumstances and information regarding the reactivation of these two licensed operators..2Resident Inspector Quarterly Review

a. Inspection Scope

On December 15, 2006, the inspectors observed operators in the plant's simulatorduring simulator scenario 3-OT-SRT-E1-4, Loss of Coolant Accident, Pressurizer Safety Fails Open, to verify operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and training was being conducted in accordance with procedures TRN-1, Administering Training, and TRN-11.4, Continuing Training for Licensed Personnel. In addition, the inspectors verified that the training program included risk-significant operator actions, emergency plan implementation, and lessons learned from previous plant experiences.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

18Enclosure2.RADIATION SAFETYCornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety (OS)2OS1Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas

a. Inspection Scope

Access Control: The inspectors evaluated licensee activities for monitoring andcontrolling worker access to radiologically significant areas, focusing on activities associated with the U1C7 outage, which was in progress during the onsite inspection period. The inspection included direct observation of administrative and physical controls, appraisal of the knowledge and proficiency of radiation workers and health physics technicians in implementing radiological controls, and review of the adequacy of procedural guidance and its implementation.The inspectors reviewed licensee procedures regarding access control to radiologicallysignificant areas. Selected procedural details for posting, surveying, and access control to airborne radioactivity, radiation area, high radiation area, locked high radiation area(LHRA), and very high radiation area (VHRA) locations were reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives. The inspectors reviewed administrative guidance documents and procedures for control of radioactive material stored in the spent fuel pool, and evaluated selected radiation work permits (RWPs) used for work in radiologically significant areas associated with the U1C7 outage. The selected RWPs were assessed for adequacy of access controls and specified electronic dosimeter alarm setpoints against expected work area dose rates and work conditions. Access control procedures for posted LHRA and VHRA locations were reviewed and discussed with selected radiation protection (RP) management, supervision, and technicians.During facility tours, the inspectors evaluated selected radiological postings, barricades,and surveys associated with radioactive material storage areas and radiologically significant areas within the reactor containment building, reactor auxiliary building, and fuel handling building. The inspectors conducted independent dose-rate measurements at various building locations and compared those results to licensee radiation survey map data. The inspectors independently assessed implementation of LHRA controls, and evaluated the adequacy of the licensee's LHRA and VHRA key controls through procedural reviews and supervisory interviews.During the inspection, the proficiency and knowledge of the radiation workers and RPstaff in communicating and applying radiological controls for selected tasks were evaluated. The inspectors attended RWP briefings for selected work activities.

Radiological worker and RP technician training/skill levels, procedural adherence, andimplementation of RWP-specified access controls, including those associated with changing radiological conditions, were observed and evaluated by the inspectors during selected job site reviews and tours within the licensee's radiological control area. In addition, the inspectors interviewed selected management personnel regarding radiological controls associated with U1C7 outage activities.

19EnclosureRP activities were evaluated against the UFSAR Section 12, Radiation Protection;Technical Specification Sections 5.7, Procedures and Programs, and 5.11, High Radiation Area; 10 CFR 19.12; 10 CFR Part 20, Subparts B, C, F, G, H, and J; and approved licensee procedures. The procedures and records reviewed are listed in the attachment to this report.Problem Identification and Resolution: PERs associated wi th access control toradiologically significant areas, radiation worker performance, and RP technician proficiency were reviewed and assessed. The PERs listed in the attachment to this report were reviewed and evaluated in detail during inspection of this program area.

The inspectors assessed the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with approved CAP procedures.The inspectors completed 21 of the required 21 samples for IP 71121.01. All sampleshave now been completed for this IP.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.2OS2ALARA Planning and Controls

a. Inspection Scope

As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA): Implementation of the licensee's ALARAprogram during U1C7 outage was observed and evaluated by the inspectors. The inspectors reviewed ALARA planning, dose estimates, and prescribed ALARA controls for outage work tasks expected to incur the maximum collective exposures. Reviewed activities included temporary shielding of various areas in containment, emergent work associated with the repair and test of an isolation valve (1-ISV-62-912) located in the Unit 1 Mixed Bed Demineralization - 1B pit, removal of the full-face camera in the spent fuel transfer canal, and work activities associated with the removal of the old SGs and the old storage facility. Also, incorporation of planning, established work controls, expected dose rates and dose expenditure into the ALARA pre-job briefings and RWPs for those activities were reviewed. The inspectors directly observed and evaluated the licensee's use of engineering controls, low-dose waiting areas, and on-the-job supervision.Selected elements of the licensee's source term reduction and control program wereexamined to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in supporting implementation of the ALARA program goals. Shutdown chemistry program implementation and the resultant effect on containment and auxiliary building dose rate trending data were reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives.Trends in individual and collective personnel exposures at the facility were reviewed. Records of year-to-date individual radiation exposures sorted by work groups were examined for significant variations of exposures among workers. The inspectors examined the dose records of all declared pregnant workers during 2005 to 2006 to 20Enclosureevaluate total or current gestation dose. The applicable RP procedure was reviewed toassess licensee controls for declared pregnant workers. Trends in the plant's three-year rolling average collective exposure history, outage, non-outage, and total annual doses for selected years were reviewed and discussed with licensee representatives. The licensee's dose goal for the outage was 287.1 rem with a stretch target of 291 rem; however, due to an extension of the outage by 164 hours0.0019 days <br />0.0456 hours <br />2.71164e-4 weeks <br />6.2402e-5 months <br /> (~6.8 days) and emergent work activities, the licensee was not on target to meet their dose goal. At the time of the onsite inspection the licensee was averaging ~2.5 rem per day.The licensee's ALARA program implementation and practices were evaluated forconsistency with UFSAR Chapter 12, Sections 1-5, Radiation Protection; 10 CFR Part 20 requirements; Regulatory Guide 8.29, Instruction Concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure, February 1996; and licensee procedures.

Documents reviewed during the inspection of this program area are listed in Section 2OS2 of the report attachment.Problem Identification and Resolution: The inspectors reviewed CAP documents listedin Section 2OS2 of the report attachment that were related to the ALARA program. The inspectors assessed the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with Standard Programs and Processes - 3.1, Corrective Action Program, Revision 7.The inspectors completed 25 samples for IP 71121.02 (minimum sample size is 15;however, additional line items were completed since the licensee was in the 4 th quartilethree-year rolling average for occupational collective dose ranking). All samples have now been completed for this IP.

Cornerstone:

Public Radiation Safety (PS)2PS1Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment and Monitoring Systems

a. Inspection Scope

Groundwater Monitoring: The inspectors discussed current and future programs formonitoring onsite groundwater with cognizant chemistry representatives, including number and placement of monitoring wells and identification of plant systems with the most potential for contaminated leakage. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated procedural guidance for identifying and assessing onsite spills and leaks of contaminated fluids. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's 10 CFR Part 50.75(g) file and compared the contents with known contaminated spill locations. The inspectors also reviewed selected parts of the 2005 Annual Effluent and Waste Disposal Report dealing with abnormal releases. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment to this report.

21EnclosureThe inspectors completed three of the required line-item samples described in IP71122.01.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4.OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA2Identification & Resolution of Problems.1Review of Items Entered into the CAP

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems,and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished by reviewing daily PER summary reports and attending daily PER review meetings.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified..2Annual Sample: Inadequate Procedure for Containment Closure (NCV05000390/2005004-01)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the implementation of corrective actions for NCV05000390/2005004-01, Inadequate Procedure for Containment Closure, which was documented in Level B PER 79310. b.Assessments and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's rootcause determination and corrective actions based on that determination. The licensee combined a Task Analysis, Why Staircase, Barrier Analysis, and Change Analysis into an Event and Causal Factor chart to determine the root cause. The root causes were determined to be:

(1) the more restrictive requirement to close containment prior to core boiling in NUMARC 91-06 was not recognized;

(2) calculation WBNAPS2-092 contained invalid "open containment" pressurization profiles; and

(3) the NRC GL 88-17 requirement that containment closure be achieved by a valve or blind flange was not controlled by design output.The inspectors reviewed the planned corrective actions and determined that the actionsappeared adequate to correct the identified deficiencies. Eight corrective actions were 22Enclosureimplemented to address the three identified causes. The corrective actions consistedof:

(1) issuing Engineering Design Calculation 51989 to revise calculation WBN-OSG4-0233, Midloop Design Information (covers multiple corrective actions);

(2) issue an administrative change DCA S-38264-A to revise drawing 1-47A472-1, Mechanical Penetration Seal Details;

(3) revising WBNAPS2-092, Containment Response to Loss of RHR During Mid-Loop Operation, and

(4) revising TI-68.002, Containment Penetrations and Closure Control. The inspectors reviewed the completed corrective actions and determined that thecompleted actions adequately addressed the identified causes with one exception. The corrective action to revise Drawing 1-47A472-1, Mechanical Penetration Seal Details (which is for auxiliary building seals) incorrectly stated test HT-EOI-24 qualified foam seals at 3 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) for 50 minutes and 2 psig for 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

The corrective action justification stated that the tests for penetration X-117 did not invalidate the HT-EOI-24 tests. However, the test of X-117 demonstrated that the seals leaked at pressures as low as 0.5 psig which did invalidate the HT-EOI-24 tests for the licensee's sleeved penetrations. The test of a penetration X-117 full scale mockup, in May 2005, was in response to an NRC issue associated with penetration qualifications and test HT-EOI-24. The inspectors determined that, although the drawing change was incorrect, the operability of the auxiliary building secondary containment envelope (ABSCE) was not affected due to the extremely low differential pressures (~0.01 psig)seen by the foam seals and the ABSCE has been demonstrated operable by licensee surveillance testing. The licensee initiated PER 111908 to track and resolve this discrepancy..3Annual Sample: Review of Operator Workarounds

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the operator workaround (OWA) program to verify that OWAswere identified at an appropriate threshold, were entered into the CAP, and that corrective actions were appropriate and timely. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's workaround list and repair schedules, performed CAP word searches, conducted tours and interviewed operators about required compensatory actions.

Additionally, the inspectors looked for undocumented workarounds, reviewed operator deficiency lists, reviewed appropriate system health documents and reviewed PERs related to items on the workaround list. b.Assessments and ObservationsNo findings of significance were identified. The inspector's review focused on two risksignificant OWAs. The first was associated with the need for periodic monitoring and venting of the ERCW discharge headers so that the motor and turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps would not lose suction under certain conditions. The second was associated with the need to periodically vent the residual heat removal (RHR)discharge header to prevent lifting of the RHR discharge header relief valves. Both had been classified as priority 3 OWAs (lowest priority). Per OPDP-1, Conduct of Operations, a priority 3 OWA is one that an "Operator is taking compensatory actions 23Enclosuresuch as additional monitoring or leak cleanup." The inspectors questioned the licenseewhether the two OWAs in question were improperly classified and should be classified as priority 2 OWAs. Per OPDP-1, a priority 2 OWA is one that an "Operator must take compensatory action during normal operations. Plant equipment could be degraded if compensatory actions not taken." The licensee initiated PER 112010 to address the inspector's question of whether the OWAs were properly classified. Long-term OWAs are a factor in determining system health in accordance with licensee procedure NEDP-12, System and Component Health, Equipment Failure Trending. The inspectors determined that incorrectly classifying the OWAs was minor because it did not affect the MR classification nor would any additional corrective actions be required.During the development of the corrective action plan for PER 112010, licenseemanagement agreed that, in both cases, the OWAs were improperly classified as priority 3 versus 2. The inspectors reviewed the completed PER 112010 which concluded that the ERCW venting OWA was not a workaround because the deficiency was being incorporated into the plant's design basis and the RHR venting was not a workaround since it was a singular occurrence. The inspectors questioned the licensee on the PER resolution since the original question had not been answered and the RHR venting was not a singular occurrence. The licensee determined that PER 112010 was improperly closed and initiated PER 116367 to address the deficiencies in PER 112010.

The inspectors determined that closing PER 112010 without addressing the problem was minor because corrective actions to address the material issues causing the OWAs were already in place and PER 116367 was to address a process issue. The corrective action plan associated with PER 116367 was still under development at the end of the inspection period.

.4 Semi-Annual Review to Identify Trends

a. Inspection Scope

As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems,the inspectors performed a review of the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' review was focused on human performance trends, licensee trending efforts, and repetitive equipment and corrective maintenance issues. The inspectors also considered the results of the daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.1. The inspectors' review nominally considered the six-month period of July through December 2006, although some examples expanded beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted.

b.Assessment and ObservationsThere were no findings of significance identified. The inspectors observed that thelicensee performed adequate trending reviews. The licensee routinely reviewed cause codes, involved organizations, key words, and system links to identify potential trends in the CAP data. The inspectors compared the licensee's process results with the results of the inspectors' daily screening and did not identify any discrepancies or potential trends in the CAP data that the licensee had failed to identify. The inspectors identified the following areas of interest during this trend review:

24Enclosure*As documented in Inspection Report 05000390, 05000391/2006003, paragraph4OA2.2, the licensee had been operating with a large number of temporary alterations during the past fuel cycle. Twenty-seven temporary alterations were in effect at the beginning of the U1C7 refueling outage. A CAP review of calendar year 2006 revealed eight NRC-identified PERs involving deficiencies in the installation, administration, and implementation of the temporary alteration process. The licensee took appropriate action for each individual PER.

• A review of NRC-identified PERs for the six-month period from July to December2006 revealed eight PERs where interim corrective actions were inadequate or not taken in time to prevent a repeat occurrence identified by the NRC. The licensee took appropriate action for each individual PER.The inspectors discussed these observations with the licensee. The licensee initiatedPERs to evaluate these observations.4OA3Event Followup.1Notification of Unusual Event Due (NOUE) due to Reactor Coolant System (RCS)Leakage Greater than 10 gallons per minute a.DescriptionOn November 21, 2006, at approximately 6:15 a.m., the shift manager declared anNOUE due to indications that RCS leakage was greater than 10 gpm. The crew had just completed a vacuum refill of the RCS, shut the pressurizer power operated relief valve, and increased RCS pressure to approximately 60 psig. After pressurizing the RCS, the crew noticed that the volume control tank level was dropping indicating leakage. The crew entered AOI-6, Small Reactor Coolant System Leak, and dispatched operators to the containment and auxiliary building to look for the leak. Pressurizer level was maintained at 60% through the event using normal charging. After adding approximately 1600 gallons of water, the volume control tank level stabilized. The licensee determined that there was not an RCS leak and terminated the NOUE at 7:37 a.m. The licensee initiated PER 115184 and performed a root cause investigation. The investigation concluded that the indications of leakage were due to filling voided portions of the RCS that were not filled during the vacuum refill.

b. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed operator logs, plant computer data, completed procedures, andthe root cause report to determine what occurred and how the operators responded.

The inspectors verified that the operator response was in accordance with plant procedures, that the licensee properly implemented the Emergency Plan, and verified that notifications were made within the required time limits.

c. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

a. Inspection Scope

During this inspection period, the inspectors completed a review of the licensee'simplementation of the Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI) guidance for reporting unavailability and unreliability of monitored safety systems in accordance with Temporary Instruction 2515/169. The inspectors examined surveillances that the licensee determined would not renderthe train unavailable for greater than 15 minutes or during which the system could be promptly restored through operator action and, therefore, are not included in unavailability calculations.On a sample basis, the inspectors reviewed operating logs, work history information,maintenance rule information, CAP documents, and surveillance procedures to determine the actual time periods the MSPI systems were not available due to planned and unplanned activities. The results were then compared to the baseline planned unavailability and actual planned and unplanned unavailability determined by the licensee to ensure the data's accuracy and completeness. Likewise, these documents were reviewed to ensure MSPI component unreliability data determined by the licensee properly identified and characterized all failures of monitored components. The unavailability and unreliability data were then compared with performance indicator data 27Enclosuresubmitted to the NRC to ensure it accurately reflected the performance history of thesesystems. Documents reviewed are listed in the attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

With only minor exceptions, the licensee accurately documented the baseline plannedunavailability hours, the actual unavailability hours and the actual unreliability information for the MSPI systems. No significant errors in the reported data were identified, which resulted in a change to the indicated index color. No significant discrepancies were identified in the MSPI basis document which resulted in:

(1) a change to the system boundary,

(2) an addition of a monitored component, or

(3) a change in the reported index color.Evaluation of Inspection RequirementsIn accordance with the requirements of TI 2515/169, the inspectors evaluated andanswered the following questions:1)For the sample selected, did the licensee accurately document the baselineplanned unavailability hours for the MSPI systems?

No findings of significance were identified..15Containment Restoration Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed containment restoration activities associated with twotemporary construction openings in the containment shield building dome and SCV, which were approximately 20 feet by 40 feet, for the Unit 1 SGRP.The inspectors reviewed procedures for installation of concrete reinforcing steel andBar-Lock splices, and procedures for control of concrete placement activities. The inspectors observed installation of concrete reinforcing steel and installation of Bar-Lock splices to determine if the work was completed in accordance with requirements shown on design drawings. The inspectors reviewed results of quality control acceptance testing performed on materials (cement, fine and coarse aggregate, water, and admixtures) selected for batching the concrete, and the results of qualification testing of the Bar-Lock splices. The inspectors also reviewed the concrete mix data to ensure that selected trial mix met concrete design strength requirements, and quality control acceptance criteria, specified in the procedures for the plastic concrete, were based on the trial mix data.The inspectors reviewed the restoration of the steel containment vessel weldingprocedures and weld process sheets. The inspectors observed in-process welding activities, reviewed the licensee's program for control of weld filler materials, and observed preliminary preparations for performance of radiographs of the completed welds on the SCV. Welding acceptance criteria were specified in Bechtel General 36EnclosureWelding Standard GWS-1 and the American Welding Society AWS D1.1,StructuralWelding Code. The following welds were reviewed for the repair to the SCV:*Weld Number 1-SCV-B023-1, 2/3 Side of Steel Containment Vessel, ASME Class 3*Weld Number 1-SCV-B014-01, 1/4 Side of Steel Containment Vessel, ASME Class 3

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4OA6Meetings, Including ExitThe inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. M. Skaggs and other members oflicensee management at the conclusion of the inspection on January 10, 2007. The inspectors asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. One proprietary document was identified. Proprietary information was reviewed during the inspection but was not included in this report.4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsThe following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by thelicensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as an NCV.*TS 3.6.6 requires that two containment spray trains be operable in plant modes1, 2, 3, and 4. A plant shutdown to Mode 5 is required if one train of containment spray is inoperable for more than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. In October 2006, the licensee identified that the containment sump to B-train containment spray pump suction flow control valve 1-FCV-72-45 would not open electrically as required for B-train containment spray operability. The licensee determined that the condition had existed since March 2005. This is identified in the licensee's corrective action program as PER 111128.The finding affected both the Barrier and Mitigating Systems Cornerstones andtherefore required a phase 2 significance determination process (SDP). The results of the phase 2 SDP required further evaluation by a regional senior reactor analyst (SRA). The regional SRA performed an SDP Phase 3 for the finding. As the licensee only credited the use of the spray system to refill the RWST for small LOCAs, the SRA used the NRC's risk model to extract the high worth sequences for small LOCA, and for reactor coolant pump seal LOCA.

These sequences were adjusted to allow refill of the RWST through the spray system, and the worth of the loss of this function was calculated. Using the maximum exposure time for SDP of one year, the finding was determined to be GREEN, and of very low safety significance.
