SUBJECT: BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTIONREPORT 05000259/2006002, 05000260/2006002, AND 05000296/2006002

Dear Mr. Singer:

On March 31, 2006, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your operating Browns Ferry Unit 2 and 3 reactor facilities. The enclosedintegrated quarterly inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 6, 2006, with Mr. J. DeDomenico and other members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.Additionally, the enclosed report also documents some inspection of Unit 1 that was performedper our letter to you on December 29, 2004, regarding the transition of Unit 1 into the Reactor Oversight Program (ROP). In that letter we indicated that the NRC had determined that theROP cornerstones of Occupational Radiation Safety, Public Radiation Safety, Emergency Preparedness, and Physical Protection would be incorporated into the routine ROP baseline inspection program effective January 1, 2005. Remaining results from our inspection of your Unit 1 Recovery Project continue to be documented in a separate Unit 1 integrated inspection report.This report documents two NRC-identified findings and a self-revealing finding of very lowsafety significance. Two of these findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. Additionally, a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is listed in this report. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the findings were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A of theNRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any non-cited violation or finding in the enclosedreport, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at theBrowns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

TVA2In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, itsenclosure and your response, if any, will be available electronically for public inspection in theNRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) com ponent ofNRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000259/2006002, 05000260/2006002, 05000296/2006002; 01/01/2006 - 03/31/2006;Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3; Maintenance Risk Assessments, Emergent Work

Evaluation, and Event Followup.The report covered a three-month period of routine inspections by the resident inspectors, 6reactor inspectors, an operator license examiner, two health physicists and two senior health physicists from Region II. One non-cited violation and one finding, of very low safety significance (Green), and one Severity Level IV non-cited violation were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercialnuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3,dated July 2000.

A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

• A Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(D) and(vii)(D) was identified by the inspectors for the licensee's failure to submit a licensee event report for a safety system functional failure of the Unit 2 residualheat removal pressure suppression chamber containment isolation valves. This issue was documented in the licensee's corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Report 99193.In Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the significance of violationsinvolving the failure to make required reports is not dispositioned using the Reactor Oversight Program's Significance Determination Process. The licensee's failure to provide a written event report does potentially impact the NRC's ability to carry out its regulatory function. However, because this failure toreport per 10 CFR 50.73 did not actually impede or influence regulatory action, and the condition that required reporting under 10 CFR 50.73 was previously determined to be of very low safety significance in inspection report 05000260/2005003, the NRC has characterized the significance of this reportingviolation as a Severity Level IV in accordance with Section IV.A.3 and Supplement I of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (Section 40A3.2)

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

• A Green self-revealing Finding (FIN) was identified for inadequate workinstructions and poor work practices associated with maintenance on the 2C reactor feedwater pump that resulted in a Unit 2 reactor trip. This issue was documented in the licensee's corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Report 87178.This finding is greater than minor because it involved human error andinadequate work instructions that affected the human performance and Enclosureprocedure quality attributes of the Initiating Event Cornerstone to limit thelikelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safetyfunctions during at-power operations. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because all safety-related mitigating systems operated asdesigned during and following the scram. (Section 4OA3.3)

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

• A Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) was identified by theinspectors for the licensee's failure to conduct an adequate risk assessment of the Unit 2 systems, and Unit 3 systems affecting Unit 2, that were taken out ofservice for scheduled maintenance from March 1 through 3, 2006. This resulted in an unrecognized increase in the level of risk as determined by a probabilisticsafety analysis (PSA) evaluation by the licensee. This issue was documented in the licensee's corrective action program as Problem Evaluation Report 98414.This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the MitigatingSystems Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and adversely affected the cornerstone objective in that the licensee failed to perform an adequate risk assessment prior to conducting online maintenance. The licensee's risk assessment did not consider all the risk significant systems and support systemsthat were out of service which, when properly evaluated, did result in an increased level of risk from a PSA perspective. However, the finding was of very low safety significance because the risk deficit for Incremental Core Damage Probability was less than 5E-6 and for Incremental Large Early ReleaseProbability was less than 5E-7, and at least two risk management actions were inplace. This finding involved the cross cutting aspect of Human Performance for failure to recognize and follow established procedures for adequately assessing the risk associated with online maintenance. (Section 1R13)

B.Licensee-Identified Violations

A violation of very low safety significance, which was identified by the licensee, has beenreviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. The violation and corrective actions are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant StatusUnit 1 was defueled and in a recovery status for the entire report period. Unit 2 operated at essentially full power for the entire report period, except for severaldownpowers. On January 28, 2006, unit power was reduced to 70% to repair a steam leak on the extraction steam supply to a main feedwater (MFW) heater; unit power returned to 100% on January 30. On February 1, unit power was reduced to 79% due to unexpected isolation of the main steam (MS) extraction supply lines to the 2C1 and 2C2 MFW heaters; unit power returned to 100% on February 2. On February 16, unit power was reduced to 57% to remove the 2B Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to repair a coolant leak; unit was returned to 100% on February 17.Unit 3 began the inspection period operating at essentially full power, but shutdown January 15,2006 due to failure of the second seal on the 3B Recirculation pump. Both seals on both recirculation pumps were replaced. The unit was restarted on January 20 and achieved full power on January 25. Unit 3 continued to operate at 100% power until it was shutdown on February 28 for its twelfth refueling outage (U3C12). After the outage was complete, the unit was restarted and placed online on March 22. Low power testing and power ascension to 100% were completed on March 26. On March 27, power was reduced to 90% due to unexpected loss of the 3C2 MFW heater. The unit was returned to full power the same day.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity1R02Evaluations of Changes, Tests or Experiments

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected samples of evaluations to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered the conditions under which changes to the facility,Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), or procedures may be made, and tests conducted, without prior NRC approval. The inspectors reviewed evaluations for changes and additional information, such as calculations, supporting analyses, theUFSAR, and drawings, to confirm that the licensee had appropriately concluded that the changes could be accomplished without obtaining a license amendment. The evaluations reviewed are listed in the report Attachment.The inspectors also reviewed samples of changes for which the licensee haddetermined that evaluations were not required, to confirm that the licensee's conclusionsto "screen out" these changes were correct and consistent with 10 CFR 50.59. The "screened out" changes reviewed are listed in the report Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Partial Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

Partial System Walkdown. The inspectors performed partial walkdowns of the threesafety systems listed below to verify train operability, as required by the plant TechnicalSpecifications (TS), while the other redundant trains were out of service or after the specific safety system was returned to service following maintenance. Theseinspections included reviews of applicable TS, applicable operating instructions (OI),

and/or piping and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs), which were compared with observed equipment configurations to identify any discrepancies that could affect operability of the redundant train or backup system. The systems selected for walkdownwere also chosen due to their relative risk significance from a Probabilistic SafetyAssessment (PSA) perspective for the existing plant equipment configuration. The inspectors verified that selected breaker, valve position, and support equipment were in the correct position for system operation. *Unit 3 Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System (Division II) per PI&D flow diagram3-47E811*Units 1 and 2 B Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) per PI&D flow and controldiagrams 0-47E861-1 and 0-47E861-6 *Unit 2 RHR System (Division II) per PI&D flow diagram 2-47E811

b. Findings

The inspectors reviewed plant design features and measures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal flooding events, as described in the following documents:

UFSAR; Design Criteria Browns Ferry Nuclear (BFN)-50-C-7105, Internal Flooding Design Basis; Emergency Operating Instruction 3, Secondary Containment Control; and, Browns Ferry Unit 2 Individual Plant Examination, Browns Ferry Internal Floods 8EnclosureAnalysis. Furthermore, the inspectors reviewed the Browns Ferry Nuclear PlantProbabilistic Safety Assessment Initiating Event Notebook, Initiating Event Frequencies,for licensee commitments. The inspectors performed walkdowns of risk-significant areas, susceptible systems andequipment, including the Unit 3 RHR, CS pump rooms, High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) pump room and Under-Torus area to review flood-significant features such as area level switches, room sumps and sump pumps, flood protection door seals, conduit seals and instrument racks that might be subjected to flood conditions. Plantprocedures for mitigating flooding events were also reviewed to verify that licensee actions were consistent with the plant's design basis assumptions.

The inspectors also reviewed a sampling of the licensee's corrective action documentswith respect to flood-related items to verify that problems were being identified and corrected. Furthermore, the inspectors reviewed selected completed preventive maintenance procedures, work orders, and surveillance procedures to verify that actionswere completed within the specified frequency and in accordance with design basis documents.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection (ISI) Activities.1Piping Systems Inservice Inspection

a. Inspection Scope

b. Findings

Introduction:

A Green non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) was identified bythe inspectors for the licensee's failure to conduct an adequate risk assessment of the Unit 2 systems, and Unit 3 systems affecting Unit 2, that were taken OOS from March 1through 3, 2006. This resulted in an unrecognized increase in the level of risk as determined by a probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) evaluation by the licensee.Description: On March 2, 2006, the inspectors examined risk significant work activitiesconducted during the U3C12 Division I equipment outage that affected Unit 2,particularly while the B EDG was OOS for scheduled maintenance from March 1 to March 3. The licensee had concluded that the risk associated with this maintenancewas acceptable per their risk assessment tools "BFN Dual Unit Maintenance Matrix" and Sentinel. However, the inspectors subsequently determined that the licensee had notadequately assessed the level of risk with regard to the operating unit (Unit 2) and had not properly aligned the RHRSW pumps to minimize risk. While the A3 and C3Emergency Equipment Cooling Water (EECW) pumps were OOS, the swing C1 RHRSW was aligned to replace the C3 EECW pump. But since the B EDG supportsthe C1 RHRSW pump, the C1 pump was also OOS and the licensee should havealigned the swing A1 RHRSW pump to replace the A3 EECW pump per 0-TI-367. The scope of equipment taken OOS (see last bullet above) exceeded that which wasallowed by the licensee's BFN Dual Unit Maintenance Matrix required by SPP-7.1 and TI-367 for screening risk significant work activities. Specifically, the Matrix could not be used in situations where more than two systems were OOS. Per these procedures, thiscondition would have required the licensee to conduct a detailed PSA evaluation. The adverse affect on risk in removing Unit 3 EDGs from service, with respect to the dual unit matrix for Unit 2, was not recognized by responsible Work Week Management or Operations personnel. Furthermore, the licensee's Sentinel program was not properly modeled for considering the impact of Unit 3 EDGs on Unit 2. Sentinel indicated that the risk Matrix was satisfied (i.e. Green), when it should have indicated the risk Matrix was not satisfied (i.e. Orange). This condition went unrecognized until identified by the inspectors. Once this condition was brought to the licensee's attention, they promptly reconfiguredthe A1 RHRSW pump to replace the A3 EECW pump. The licensee also conducted adetailed PSA evaluation that initially concluded the level of increased risk was acceptable. After reviewing the initial PSA evaluation, the inspectors determined thatthe licensee failed to consider all of the risk significant equipment that was OOS.

Consequently, the licensee re-performed their PSA evaluation. On March 16, the results of this evaluation indicated that the Incremental Core Damage Probability (ICDP)had increased to 4.5E-06 and the Incremental Large Early Release Probability (ILERP)had increased to 1.47E-07 for the scheduled three days of maintenance. Both of these values exceeded the Yellow risk threshold specified in SPP-7.1 and required the implementation of risk management actions (RMA).

15EnclosurePrior to the U3C12 refueling outage, the licensee had reviewed the risk impact on Unit 3of removing the 3A and 3B EDGs from service from an outage risk perspective using their Outage Risk Assessment and Management (ORAM) tool. During the period oftime from March 1 to March 3, the level of risk for "onsite power" due to the unavailable 3A and 3B EDGs was only considered to be Yellow by ORAM. However, the overall level of outage risk for Unit 3 was considered to be Orange according to ORAM due to "offsite power" unavailability during the same time. Consequently, the overall plant riskper the licensee's new procedure BP-336, Risk Determination and Risk Management, was considered to be Orange due to ORAM being Orange even though Unit 2 Sentinel was Green. Because the overall plant risk was considered to be Orange, the licensee did put in place certain RMAs, such as increased awareness, and measures to ensure redundant trains (i.e., 3C, 3D, A, C, and D EDGs) were protected.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to perform an adequaterisk assessment was more than minor because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and adversely affected the cornerstone objective. The licensee's risk assessment did not consider all the risk significant systems and support systems that were OOS which, when properlyevaluated, resulted in an increased level of risk for Unit 2 (i.e., Green to Yellow) from a PSA perspective. The inspectors assessed this finding using the Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process, and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) per Flowchart 1, Risk Assessment Details. More specifically, the finding was considered Green because the risk deficit for ICDP was less than 5E-6 and for LERP less than 5E-7 LERP, and at least two RMAs were in place. This finding involved the cross-cutting area of Human Performance for failure to appropriately follow established procedures, specifically SPP-7.1 and TI-367, as evidenced by the licensee's failure to recognize that with more than two systems out-of-service the BFN Dual UnitMaintenance Matrix could not be used and thereby required a detailed PSA evaluation.Enforcement: The regulatory requirement for "Monitoring the Effectiveness ofMaintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), states, in part, that the licensee shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from proposed maintenance activities. Procedure SPP-7.1 and associated TI-367 implemented the requirements of 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(4) by requiring a risk assessment be performed prior to online maintenance activities. Contrary to the above, on March 1, the licensee failed to recognize that scheduled maintenance on the 3A, 3B, and B EDGs exceeded the capability of the BFN Matrix and according to TI-367 required a detailed PSA evaluation. This evaluation was not performed accurately until March 16, well after the EDGs were returned to service. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as PER 98414, this violation is being treated as an NCV in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC EnforcementPolicy: NCV 05000260/2006002-01, Failure to Perform An Adequate Risk Assessment.

16Enclosure1R14Operator Performance During Non-Routine Evolutions and Events

a. Inspection Scope

For the non-routine evolutions described below, the inspectors evaluated operatorperformance through interviews, observations, examining available information (e.g.

operator logs, plant computer data, and trend recorders), and reviewing applicable PERs to determine what occurred, how the operators responded, and to verify that theresponse was in accordance with plant procedures (e.g., normal operating instructions, annunciator response procedures, AOIs, etc.).*On January 15, 2006 , inspectors were notified by plant management that the #2seal on the 3B RWR pump had apparently failed. Previously, the #1 seal for thispump had failed and control room operators had been closely monitoring seal leakage. With the failure of the second seal, leakage increased by about 1.6 gpm. Plant management had previously prepared a plan, should both seals fail, to promptly reduce reactor power, remove the 3B RWR pump from service, isolate the 3B pump, and then shutdown the unit. Inspectors reported to thecontrol room to observe shutdown activities. The inspectors observed power reduction in accordance with 3-GOI-1-12A and the removal of the 3B RWR pump in accordance with 3-OI-68, Reactor Recirculation System. Operators were unsuccessful in isolating the pump due to the suction valve 3-FCV-68-77 failing to close. The operators then manually scrammed the reactor per 3-AOI-100-1, Reactor Scram. All systems re sponded as expected with the exception ofPCB 234, main generator output breaker, which failed to open on turbine trip. *On February 1, inspectors witnessed operator response to the unexpectedisolation of the main steam extraction supply lines to the 2C1 and 2C2 High Pressure MFW Heaters. The inspector observed operators reduce power to about 79% in accordance with 2-AOI-6-1-A, High Pressure Feedwater Heater String/Extraction Steam Isolation and 2-GOI-100-12, Power Maneuvering. The inspector also attended the pre-job brief and observed the return to full power the next day in accordance with 2-GOI-100-12, the applicable Reactivity Control Plan (RCP), and associated OIs. The inspector discussed the RCP with both the Unit Supervisor and responsible reactor engineers (RE). *On February 16, the inspectors attended the pre-job brief for reducing Unit 2reactor power to approximately 50% and removing the 2B VFD from service due to excessive coolant leaks. The inspectors witnessed operators conduct an orderly down power using RWR pump speed and control rods in accordance with 2-GOI-100-12, 2-OI-68, and the applicable RCP. Per OI-68, Section 7.2, the inspector witnessed operators shutdown the 2B RWR pump and establish single loop operation (SLO). Furthermore, the inspector witnessed RE personnel reset average power range monitor channels for SLO in accordance with 2-SR-3.4.1 (SL), Reactor Recirculation Single Loop Operation. The inspector reviewed and verified licensee compliance with TS, and OI-68 precautions and limitations.

a. Inspection Scope

During February 28 - March 20, 2006, the inspectors examined critical outage activitiesto verify that they were conducted in accordance with TS, applicable procedures, and the licensee's outage risk assessment and management plans. Some of the more significant inspection activities conducted by the inspectors were as follows:Outage Risk Assessment Prior to the Unit 3 scheduled 20-day refueling outage that began on Feb 28, the inspectors reviewed the Outage Risk Assessment Report and attended outage risk overview meetings to verify that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industry experience, and previous site-specific problems in developing and implementing an outage plan that assured defense-in-depth of safety attributes was maintained. The inspectors also reviewed U3C12 Outage Schedule Overview. These reviews were compared to the requirements in licensee procedure SPP-7.2, Outage Management,and TS. These reviews were also done to verify that for identified high risk significant conditions, due to equipment availability and/or system configurations, contingencymeasures were identified and incorporated into the overall outage and response plan.

Furthermore, the inspectors routinely examined the daily U3C12 Refueling Outage Reports and ORAM Safety Function Status Reports. The inspectors frequently discussed posted risk conditions with Operations and outage personnel to assess licensee awareness of actual risk conditions and mitigation strategies.Shutdown and Cooldown ProcessOn February 28, the inspectors witnessed the shutdown and cooldown of Unit 3 inaccordance with licensee procedures SPP-12.1, Conduct of Operations, 3-GOI-100-12A, Unit Shutdown from Power Operations to Cold Shutdown and Reduction in Power During Power Operations, and 3-SR-3.4.9.1(1), Reactor Heatup or Cooldown Rate Monitoring.Decay Heat RemovalThe inspectors reviewed licensee procedures 3-OI-74, Residual Heat Removal System(RHR); 3-OI-78, Fuel Pool Cooling and Cleanup System; and Abnormal OperatingInstruction 0-AOI-72-1, Auxiliary Decay Heat Removal System Failures; and conducteda main control room panel and in-plant walkdowns of system and components to verifycorrect system alignment.

Installed configuration, material condition, operability, and reliability of selected effl uentsampling and monitoring equipment were reviewed against details documented in the following: 10 CFR Part 20; RG 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials In Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants; American Nuclear Standards Institute N13.1-1969, Guide to Sampling Airborne Radioactive Materials in Nuclear Facilities; TSSection 5; the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), Rev. 17; and UFSAR, Chapters 7 and 9. Procedures and records reviewed during the inspection are listed in Section 2PS1 of the report Attachment. Effluent Release Processing and Quality Control (QC) Activities. The inspectors directlyobserved a release of liquid effluent that was monitored by 0-RM-90-130 and discussed release procedures with radwaste system operators. The inspectors also observed thepreparation and counting of particulate, iodine, and tritium samples from weekly gaseous and liquid releases. Chemistry technician proficiency in collecting, processing, and counting the samples, as well as preparing the applicable release permits, was evaluated. QC activities regarding gamma spectroscopy and beta-emitter detection were discussedwith count room technicians and Chemistry supervision. The inspectors reviewed daily QC data logs from December 1, 2005 to January 31, 2006, for High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors No. 1 through 4 and reviewed licensee procedural guidance for count room QC. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the last two calibration records for HPGe detector No. 1. Results of the 2004 and 2005 radiochemistry cross-check program were also reviewed.Selected parts of three procedures for effluent sampling, processing, and release wereevaluated for consistency with licensee actions. One liquid and two gaseous release permits were reviewed against ODCM specifications for pre-release sampling and effluent monitor setpoints. The inspectors also reviewed the 2003 and 2004 annual effluent reports to evaluate reported doses to the public and to review ODCM changes. Observed task evolutions, count room activities, and offsite dose results were evaluatedagainst details and guidance documented in the following: 10 CFR Part 20 and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50; ODCM; RG 1.21; RG 1.33, Quality Assurance ProgramRequirements (Operation); and TS Section 5. Procedures and records reviewed during the inspection are listed in Section 2PS1 of the report Attachment.

28EnclosureProblem Identification and Resolution: Six PERs and one quality assurance auditassociated with effluent release activities were reviewed and assessed. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve selectedissues in accordance with procedure SPP-3.1. Reviewed documents are listed in Section 2PS1 of the report Attachment.The inspectors completed ten of ten required samples for IP 71122.01.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.2PS3 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) and Radioactive MaterialControl Program

a. Inspection Scope

REMP Implementation. Inspectors reviewed and discussed with cognizant licenseerepresentatives the results published in the Browns Ferry Annual Radiological Environmental Operating report for CY 2003 and CY 2004.

The inspectors observed the collection and preparation of weekly particulate and radio-iodine samples by licensee personnel and assessed material condition of seven air sampling stations (Station Nos. LM-1, LM-2, LM-3, LM-4, LM-6, LM-7, PM-3), one river water sampling station (Boat Dock Station), and five thermoluminescent dosimeters (Station Nos. 7, 9,41, 44, 75) to evaluate procedural compliance.

The inspectors assessed the calibration status of each air sampling pump. The inspectors also verified the placement of collection station locations against the sectors specified in the ODCM using an NRC global positioni ng system. The inspectors discussed with cognizant licenseerepresentatives the procedures, methods, and equipment used to perform vegetationand sediment sampling. The inspectors reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives the procedures used to calibrate and determine the lower limit of detection for environmental sample gamma spectroscopy analysis.REMP guidance, implementation, and results were reviewed against ODCM guidanceand applicable procedures listed in Section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.Meteorological Monitoring Program. The inspectors reviewed the operability of themeteorological monitoring equipment and operator access to meteorological data. Current meteorological monitoring equipment performance and calibration were reviewed. Licensee technicians primarily responsible for equipment maintenance and surveillance were interviewed by the inspectors concerning equipment performance, reliability, and routine inspections. Inspectors compared the meteorological dataavailable in the control room against the meteorological data recorder at the towerlocation.

29EnclosureMeteorological instrument operation, calibration, and maintenance were reviewedagainst UFSAR, Chapter 2; NRC Safety Guide 23, Onsite Meteorological Programs-1972; and applicable licensee procedures. Documents reviewed are listed in section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.Unrestricted Release of Materials from the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA). Radiation protection activities associated with radioactive material control and the unconditional release of materials from the RCA were reviewed and evaluated. The inspectors observed surveys of personnel and material being released from the RCA and evaluated licensee response to detector alarms. The inspectors reviewed calibration records for two personnel contamination monitors and two material release monitors. Types of sources used for c hecks and minimum detectable activities werediscussed with an instrument technician.The inspectors verified that radiation detection sensitivities were consistent with NRCguidance in IE Circular 81-07 and IE Information Notice 85-92. Documents reviewed are listed in section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.Problem Identification and Resolution. Licensee corrective action program (CAP) issuesassociated with environmental monitoring, meteorological monitoring, and release of materials were reviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee representatives. The inspectors assessed the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolvethe identified issues in accordance with licensee procedure SPP-3.1. Specific documents that were reviewed and evaluated in detail for these program areas areidentified in Section 2PS3 of the report Attachment.The inspectors completed ten of ten required samples for IP 71122.03.

.1 Barrier Integrity CornerstonesReactor Coolant System Leakage and Reactor Coolant System Activity

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures and methods for compiling andreporting the following Performance Indicators (PI), including procedure SPP-3.4, Performance Indicator for NRC Reactor Oversight Process for Compiling and ReportingPI's to the NRC. The inspectors reviewed raw PI data for the PI's listed below for thefirst quarter 2004 through the fourth quarter 2005. The inspectors compared the licensee's raw data against graphical representations and specific values reported to the 30EnclosureNRC in the most recent PI report to verify that the data was correctly reflected in thereport. The inspectors also reviewed the past history of PERs for any that might be relevant to problems with the PI program. Furthermore, the inspectors met with responsible plant personnel to discuss and go over licensee records to verify that the PI data was appropriately captured, calculated correctly, and discrepancies resolved. Also, the inspectors witnessed the licensee's methods for actually collecting the PI data (i.e.,

RCS sample and analysis, and RCS leak measurement). The inspectors reviewed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, to verify that industry reporting guidelines were applied.

• Unit 2 RCS Leakage* Unit 3 RCS Leakage

• Unit 2 RCS Activity

• Unit 3 RCS Activity

b. Findings

.2 Occupational Radiation Safety And Public Radiation Safety Cornerstones

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the PI indicated below for the periodfrom January 2005 through December 2005. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Rev. 3, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element. Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone*Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness The inspectors reviewed PER records generated from January 2005 through January2006 to ensure that radiological occurrences were properly classified per NEI 99-02 guidance. The inspectors also reviewed electronic dosimeter alarm logs, radioactive material intake records, and monthly PI reports for calendar year 2005. In addition, licensee procedural guidance for classifying and reporting PI events was evaluated.

Reviewed documents are listed in Section

4OA1 of the report Attachment.Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone*RETS/ODCM Radiological Effluents Occurrence

The inspectors reviewed records used by the licensee to identify occurrences ofquarterly doses from liquid and gaseous effluents in excess of the values specified in NEI 99-02 guidance. Those records included monthly effluent dose calculations for calendar year 2005. The inspectors also interviewed licensee personnel that were 31Enclosureresponsible for collecting and reporting the PI data. In addition, licensee proceduralguidance for classifying and reporting PI events was evaluated. Reviewed documents are listed in Section

4OA1 of the report Attachment.The inspectors completed two of the required samples for IP 71151.

One sample forthe occupational radiation safety performance indicator and one sample for the public radiation safety performance indicator.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4OA2Identification & Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Problem Evaluation Reports

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a daily screening of all PERs entered into the licensee'scorrective action program. The inspectors followed NRC Inspection Procedure 71152,"Identification and Resolution of Problems," in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for follow-up.

b. Findings and Observations

There were no specific findings identified from this overall review of the PERs issuedeach day.

.2 Focused Annual Sample ReviewThe inspectors verified implementation of corrective actions associated with B LevelPER 65268 related to an inadequate 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation and B Level PER 64835

related to a Unit 2 automatic scram due to a Turbine Generator Load Reject Signal.

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed these two PER's, including related corrective action documentsand root cause analysis, in detail to ensure that the full extent of the described issueswere identified, a thorough evaluations were performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified, prioritized, and completed. The inspectors also evaluated licensee actions against the requirements of the licensee's corrective action program as specified in SPP-3.1, Corrective Action Program, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

b. Findings and Observations

PER 65268Following a Unit 2 scram on July 8, 2004, the licensee implemented a temporarymodification which removed the output of the power-load unbalance (PLU) circuit. Per licensee procedure, a 10 CFR 50.59 screening was performed to implement the temporary change. Following implementation and unit startup, it was determined thatthe 10 CFR 50.59 screening was inadequate and that a complete evaluation shouldhave been performed. The licensee subsequently reinstated the PLU function.

However, while the PLU function was removed, the licensee had been in violation of the Unit 2 TS (See LER 50-260/2004-003, and Inspection Reports (IR) 05000260/2005002 and 05000260/2004004).The licensee determined that the root cause was inadequate information in the UFSAR. The licensee's corrective action plans included briefings for personnel responsible for 10 CFR 50.59 screenings and evaluations, additions to engineering periodic training, and extent of condition reviews. Corrective actions verified by the inspectors included changes to UFSAR Chapters 11 and 14 and briefing packages.The change to UFSAR Chapter 11 added words that described the PLU circuit'sfunction in a loss of load event. The changes in to Chapter 14, paragraph 14.5.2.1.1, Transient Description, stated specifically that "Turbine-generator power-load unbalancecircuitry and other generator trips initiate turbine control valve (TCV) fast closure (minimum response time of TCV fast closure: 0.15 seconds)." This statement was determined to be misleading by the inspector because the PLU circuit is the only input tothe fast acting solenoid valve portion of the hydraulic control system of the TCVs. It isthe pressure decay of the oil system in the TCVs that causes the associated pressureswitches to actuate input signals to the Reactor Protection System. The inspector discussed this issue with responsible engineering personnel who generated PER 100591 to clarify this statement.PER 64835While in steady state operation at 100% power, a Unit 2 main turbine trip/reactor scramoccurred. All expected system responses were received, including the automaticopening of seven safety-relief valves. Electrical switching was in progress at the time of the scram, and during this switching activity the Unit 2 Unit Preferred System (UPS) 120 VAC Bus was inadvertently de-energized briefly. The reactor scram occurred at this time due to a turbine control valve fast closure/turbine trip condition. The loss of the UPS power would not by itself be expected to result in a turbine trip/reactor scram because of the fault-tolerant design of the main turbine electro-hydraulic control (EHC)system logic. However, it was determined that one of two main generator output currentsignal channels in the EHC logic had been automatically bypassed previously by the system software during a separate power supply transient on a different plantdistribution bus.

33EnclosureThe subsequent temporary interruption of the UPS bus caused the loss of the secondmain generator output current signal channel , and the system logic indicated that apower-load unbalance (i.e., main generator load reject) condition existed.The licensee determined that the root cause was that the procedure controlling thetransfer of the UPS bus contained inadequate detail to prevent interaction between the alternate and normal supplies' voltage control circuits. A contributing factor was an EHC system software configuration which gave the system an unrecognized single pointscram vulnerability. (See LER 50-260/2004-001 and IR 05000260/2004004).Implementation of corrective actions were verified by the inspector; these actions included revisions to applicable OIs and AOIs related to electrical alignments which could affect the EHC logic, changes implemented by WOs 04-718776-000 and 04-719089-000 for tuning of EHC logic parameters, and briefing packages for various groups of the plant staff.4OA3Event Follow-up

At approximately 0954 hours0.011 days <br />0.265 hours <br />0.00158 weeks <br />3.62997e-4 months <br />, an unplanned actuation of one channel of the anticipated transient without scram/alternaterod insertion logic occurred. The actuation was caused by a subtle, unforeseen interaction between a surveillance test being actively performed and another test whichhad been temporarily halted for troubleshooting equipment problems. The plant equipment response to this logic actuation was to isolate and vent the CRD scram airheader, causing the scram inlet and outlet valves on each CRD hydraulic control unit(HCU) to open and the scram discharge volume (SDV) vent and drain valves to close.With the scram outlet valves open, per the plant design a flow path existed from thereactor vessel, through the 185 individual control rod drives and the open scram outlet valve on each drive's HCU, to the associated SDV (east or west), causing each SDV to begin filling. Level switches on the associated scram discharge instrument volumes(SDIV) sensed the increasing water level, and at approximately 0955 hours0.0111 days <br />0.265 hours <br />0.00158 weeks <br />3.633775e-4 months <br /> Unit 2 received a reactor scram from high water level in both the east and west SDIVs. All control rods were fully inserted prior to the scram. There was no impact to the already shutdown unit as a result of the scram.The LER and the associated PER 80721 were reviewed by the inspectors and no findings or performance deficiencies of significance were identified. This LER is closed.

.2 (Closed) LER 05000260/2005-005-00, Primary to Secondary Containment Leakage viathe Residual Heat Removal System in Excess of Analyzed LimitsOn September 2, 2004, with the RHR system in suppression pool cooling mode ofoperation, the control room received a high level annunciator alarm for the Pressure

Suppression Chamber head tank. A leakage flow path was subsequently identified from 34Enclosurethe operating RHR system into this tank through two in-series check valves, which werepart of the RHR system discharge piping keep-fill system. The primary containmentisolation valve function of these leaking check valves was then declared inoperable, and the required TS actions were completed. The affected check valves were determined to be stuck open due to internal corrosion on the guide pin and disc, exacerbated by past cleaning practices and the use of dissimilar metals in the design. This LER and the associated PER 85130 were reviewed by the inspectors. Theenforcement aspects of this LER were previously addressed in IR 05000260/2005003, section 1R12.

Introduction:

A Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2) was identified by the inspectors forthe licensee's failure to submit an LER for a safety system functional failure of the Unit 2residual heat removal pressure suppression chamber containment isolation valves.Description: On September 2, 2004, the licensee discovered that both of the in-serieskeep-fill system check valves had stuck in the open position during standby service,such that they failed to check reverse system flow when the RHR system was started. With the check valves stuck in an open condition, had an actual design basis accident event occurred which involved significant fuel damage, utilization of this loop of RHRcould have resulted in a release of highly radioactive water directly into the secondary containment beyond that analyzed in the BFN design and licensing bases. However, this condition was not recognized as a reportable event pursuant to 10 CFR50.73(a)(2)(v)(D) and (vii)(D) until identified by the inspectors. Consequently, the licensee did not submit an LER until September 19, 2005. Based on this, the inspectorsconcluded that the licensee failed to satisfy the reportability requirements of 10 CFR 50.73.

Analysis:

As discussed in Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the significance ofviolations involving the failure to make required reports is not dispositioned using the Reactor Oversight Program's Significance Determination Process. The licensee's failure to provide a written event report does potentially impact the NRC's ability to carryout its regulatory function. However, because this failure to report per 10 CFR 50.73 did not actually impede or influence regulatory action, and the condition that requiredreporting under 10 CFR 50.73 was previously determined to be of very low safety significance (see IR 05000260/2005003), the NRC has characterized the significance ofthis reporting violation as a Severity Level IV in accordance with Section IV.A.3 and Supplement I of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Enforcement:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73, the licensee shall submit an LER for any typeof event described therein within 60 days after discovery of the event. Contrary to 10 CFR 50.73, the licensee failed to recognize and report within 60 days the aforementioned event which met the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(D)and (vii)(D). Because the criteria of Section VI.a of the Enforcement Policy were satisfied, including the licensee's initiation of PER 99193, this violation will beconsidered an NCV: NCV 05000260/2006002-02, Failure To Report A Safety System Functional Failure Per 10 CFR 50.73. This LER is closed.

.3 (Closed) LER 05000260/2005-007-00, Reactor Scram Due To Reactor Water LevelCaused By Loss of Feedwater Pumps

a. Inspection Scope

On August 5, 2005, Unit 2 automatically scrammed from 100% power due to low reactorvessel water level after a sequential loss of the 2C and then the 2B reactor feedwater pumps (RFP). The initial event followup was conducted per inspection procedure 71153 and documented in Section 4OA3.3 of IR 05000260/2005004. The inspectors have subsequently reviewed the LER and associated PERs 87178 and 87198, which included the root cause analysis and corrective action plans. The inspectors also interviewed responsible Operations and Maintenance department personnel. During the licensee's investigation, they confirmed that the initiating event was the unexpected loss of the 2CRFP. The licensee's root cause analysis also concluded that the root cause was a combination of poor workmanship when the 2C RFP main steam admission control valve linkage was reassembled, and procedural inadequacies which did not specify the required locking device or document its reinstallation. Furthermore, the inspectors verified that the corrective actions and extent of condition were consistent with the rootcause(s). This LER is considered closed.

b. Findings

Introduction:

A Green self-revealing finding was identified for inadequate workinstructions and poor work practices associated with maintenance on the 2C reactor feedwater pump that resulted in a reactor trip.Description: During the Unit 2 refueling outage in the Spring of 2005, maintenance wasperformed on the turbine-driven 2C RFP that necessitated disassembling the main steam flow control valve (FCV) linkage for the turbine. The 2C RFP was placed in service and Unit 2 was returned to full power on April 22, 2005. However, after approximately three months of operation, the 2C RFP main steam FCV linkage suddenly came apart causing the FCV to fail closed which resulted in a loss of motive force for the 2C RFP. Shortly after the 2C RFP ceased to function, the 2B RFP tripped due an apparently spurious actuation of the thrust bearing wear detector. Unit 2 was designed to accommodate the loss of one RFP at full power, without scramming, but not two. At this time, the NRC is not considering the failure of the 2B RFP to be the result of a licensee performance deficiency. After the reactor scram, an inspection of the 2C RFP physical condition by the licenseediscovered that the locking device (i.e., roll pin) had come loose from the FCV linkage allowing the fastener (i.e., threaded pivot pin with castellated nut) to become unfastened due to normal vibration. Additional inspection of the nut, pivot pin, and roll pin confirmed that the roll pin had been inadequately staked by the responsible mechanic(s). This specific activity was well within the expected skill-of-the-craft andconsidered to be poor workmanship. Furthermore, the licensee's review of the salient procedure, Mechanical Corrective Instruction (MCI) 0-003-TRB001, "Reactor Feedwater Pump Turbine And Turbine Components Disassembly, Inspection Rework And Reassembly," determined that this procedure was deficient. It did not provide any 36Enclosureinstructions regarding installation of a locking device (e.g., roll pin, split pin, or cotterpin) for the FCV linkage fastener where such a device was clearly needed. The responsible mechanic(s) had merely reinstalled the existing roll pin when they reassembled the linkage despite the lack of procedural guidance.Analysis: This finding is greater than minor because it involved human error andinadequate work instructions that affected the human performance and procedure quality attributes of the Initiating Event Cornerstone to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during at-poweroperations. The finding was evaluated using Phase 1 of the At-Power SDP, and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because all safety-related mitigating systems operated as designed during and following the scram. The findingwas entered into the licensee's corrective action program as PER 87178.Enforcement: No violation of regulatory requirements occurred. The inspectorsdetermined that the finding did not represent a noncompliance because it only involvednon-safety related secondary plant equipment. This finding was of very low safety significance, and will be tracked as FIN 05000260/2006002-03, Poor Workmanship andInadequate Work Instructions for Maintenance on the 2C Reactor Feedwater Pump That Resulted in a Reactor Scram. 4OA5Other Activities

a. Inspection Scope

(Closed) Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/161, Transport of Control Rod Drives in TypeA Packages. The inspectors reviewed shipping logs and discussed shipment of CRDsin Type A packages with shipping staff. The inspectors noted that the licensee had conducted multiple shipments of CRDs in Type A packages since January 1, 2002. Forthese shipments, the inspectors reviewed and discussed Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for proper Type A package use with responsible licensee shipping personnel. The inspectors reviewed licensee documentation of tests and engineering evaluations of packaging for compliance with DOT specifications. The inspection included a review of current vendor documentation for maintenance and package closure procedures.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4OA6Management Meetings.1Exit Meeting SummaryDuring the report period several interim inspection debriefs with senior managementwere conducted by regional inspectors. On April 6, 2006, the resident inspectors presented the integrated inspection results to Mr. John DeDomenico and other 37Enclosuremembers of his staff, who acknowledged the findings. The inspectors confirmed thatproprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection period.4OA7 Licensee Identified ViolationsThe following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by thelicensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which met the criteria of Section VI ofthe NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for disposition as an NCV.*TS 5.5.4(c) requires the licensee to monitor effluents according to themethodology contained in the ODCM. ODCM Rev. 17, Section 1/2.1.2 statesthat any effluent monitor with an alarm/trip setpoint less conservative than the ODCM requires must be declared inoperable. Contrary to this, airborne effluent monitors RM-90-249/250/251/252 were allowed to operate with alarm setpointsfor the noble gas channel that were less conservative than ODCM requirements.

When the monitor were installed in 1991, the wrong units had been entered for flow rates in the applicable vents. The flows were entered in cc/sec rather than cc/min as required by vendor manuals, thus making the alarm setpoint a factor of 60 higher than desired (nonconservative). On May 3, 2004, an engineer reviewing the monitor vendor manuals discovered the error and took immediate corrective actions to correct the setpoints. This event is documented in the licensee's CAP as PER 60527. Although this event involved failure to maintain proper conservatism for noble gas effluent monitor alarm setpoints, this finding is of very low safety significance because the ability to assess dose to the publicwas not impaired, there were no releases above regulatory limits, and there are additional monitors that control automatic isolation of these airborne pathways.ATTACHMENT:
