| |
| DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000237/2003007; 05000249/2003007
| |
| | |
| ==Dear Mr. Skolds:==
| |
| On September 30, 2003, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on October 8, 2003, with Mr. R. Hovey and other members of your staff.
| |
| | |
| The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
| |
| | |
| Based on the results of this inspection, there were two NRC-identified and two self-revealed findings of very low significance. All four findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these findings as Non-Cited Violations, in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, licensee identified violations which were determined to be of very low safety significance are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report. If you contest the subject or severity of a Non-Cited Violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, IL 60532-4351; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

| This report covers a 3-month period of baseline resident inspection, and announced baseline inspections on licensed operator requalification and radiation safety. The inspection was conducted by Region III inspectors and resident inspectors. Four Green findings, all involving Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609,
| |
| Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be a assigned severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.
| |
| | |
| A. Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings
| |
| | |
| ===Cornerstone: Initiating Events===
| |
| : '''Green.'''
| |
| A self-revealed finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1 was identified for the failure of an instrument maintenance supervisor to follow the fire prevention procedure and obtain permission from the fire marshal prior to an instrument technician performing hot work. This human performance deficiency resulted in the automatic initiation of the halon system in the auxiliary electric equipment room. Corrective actions by the licensee included establishing a continuous fire watch, refilling all halon bottles, briefing of this event with all instrument maintenance personnel, and coaching of individuals in accordance with station policy.
| |
| | |
| The finding was more than minor because it affects the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events (fire) that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions. The finding was determined to be of low safety significance (Green) because the halon system was still operable to extinguish a fire in its incipient stage. (Section 1R05)
| |
| | |
| ===Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems===
| |
| : '''Green.'''
| |
| A finding of very low safety significance was identified by the inspectors involving a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control requirements. The licensee had not updated the controlling calculation to assure that the motors would operate with undervoltage conditions after the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) gland seal leak off (GSLO) turbine gland steam condenser exhauster and its hotwell drain pump motors were upgraded to safety-related equipment. After the inspectors identified these inconsistencies, the licensee revised the calculation, performed qualification testing, and generally fulfilled qualification that the motors would operate under the postulated undervoltage conditions.
| |
| | |
| This finding was more than minor because the design process allowed upgrading the motors to safety-related without assuring fulfillment of known design requirements that affected the mitigating system cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, the reliability, and the capability of HPCI to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Continuous operation of the GSLO system was required to support HPCI operation because of room temperature concerns. The finding was determined to be of low safety significance (Green) because it did not represent an actual loss of the safety function. (Section 4OA5).
| |
| : '''Green.'''
| |
| The inspectors identified a finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50,
| |
| Appendix B, Criterion V, for the failure of mechanical maintenance personnel to generate a condition report or inform a supervisor after identifying loose bolts on the standby liquid control relief valve. This human performance deficiency resulted in the licensee having to perform a historical operability evaluation on the condition of the system. In addition to the historical operability evaluation, the mechanical maintenance manager reinforced the requirement of initiating condition reports when deficiencies are identified.
| |
| | |
| The finding was more than minor because it affected the mitigating system cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding was determined to be of low safety significance (Green) because the system was determined to have been operable with the loose bolts. (Section 4OA5)
| |
| | |
| ===Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity===
| |
| : '''Green.'''
| |
| A self-revealing finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of Technical Specification 3.4.4 was identified for the licensees failure to ensure that Unit 3 was not operated with reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage. As a result of this human performance deficiency, the licensee was not in compliance with Technical Specifications on two occasions for Unit 3 while operating with pressure boundary leakage. Corrective actions by the licensee included using an enhanced fit-up process to minimize the welding induced residual stresses and using proper tie-back support alignment to minimize mechanically induced stress. Also, the licensee established an exclusion zone and action level values to minimize reactor recirculation pump speed in the area of the resonance frequency of the piping. In addition, the licensee will install a piping configuration modification to improve the vibration response characteristics of both A and B reactor recirculation loops high and low pressure sensing lines.
| |
| | |
| The finding was considered more than minor because the issue affected the barrier integrity cornerstone. This finding was evaluated using Phase 1 of the significance determination process (SDP) which screened Phase 2 because the finding affected the reactor coolant system barrier. The inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because additional equipment not credited in the Probabilistic Risk Assessment was available to mitigate the leak and the contribution of this type of event to the baseline core damage frequency was small. (Section 4OA3)
| |
| | |
| B. Licensee Identified Findings Violations of very low safety significance, which were identified by the licensee, have been reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensees corrective action program. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

| ====b. Findings====
| |
| ===.1 Inadvertent Initiation of the Halon System in the Auxiliary Electric Equipment Room===
| |
| | |
| =====Introduction:=====
| |
| A Green self-revealed finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of Technical Specifications was identified for the failure of an instrument maintenance supervisor to obtain permission from the fire marshal prior to performing hot work. This human performance deficiency resulted in the automatic initiation of the halon system in the Unit 2/3 auxiliary electric equipment room.
| |
| | |
| =====Description:=====
| |
| On July 22, 2003, instrument maintenance personnel were performing Work Order #573460-04 to remove a defective and obsolete seismic recorder located in the floor of the Unit 2/3 auxiliary electric equipment room. After the recorder was removed, the next step, instructional Step 2, was to assist the mechanical maintenance personnel in removing the concrete expansion anchors. The instrument maintenance supervisor misinterpreted instructional step 2 to mean that the instrument maintenance personnel could perform the grinding to remove the anchors. Therefore, an instrument technician proceeded with the grinding activity, and debris in the air from the grinding caused the fire alarm system, XL-3, to alarm and automatic initiation of the halon system. Administrative procedure OP-AA-201-004, Fire Prevention for Hot Work, Revision 5, Step 5.1.1, requires the work supervisor to obtain permission from the fire marshal to perform hot work operations by completing Section 1 of the Hot Work Permit,
| |
| | |
| ===1. Section 1 identified the hot work to be performed, the extinguisher===
| |
| | |
| location, the need to have a fire watch 1/2 hour after the hot work completed, any special precautions to be implemented, and the fire marshals signature approving the performance of the work. Since the instrument maintenance supervisor had not obtained permission from the fire marshal to perform the hot work, the grinding by the instrument technician was a violation of OP-AA-201-004.
| |
| | |
| =====Analysis:=====
| |
| The inspectors determined that the maintenance supervisors failure to follow procedure OP-AA-201-004 was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation. The inspectors reviewed this finding against the guidance contained in Appendix B, Issue Disposition Screening, of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it affected the initiating events cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events (fire) that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions. The finding also affected the cross-cutting area of Human Performance because the maintenance supervisor failed to obtain permission from the fire marshal prior to conducting the grinding activity.
| |
| | |
| In reviewing the finding using the Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1, the inspectors determined that the finding did not contribute to the likelihood of a loss of coolant accident, did not contribute to the likelihood of a reactor trip and the likelihood of the unavailability of mitigation equipment or functions, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire. The issue was determined to be of low safety significance (Green) because the halon system was still operable to extinguish a fire in its incipient stage.
| |
| | |
| =====Enforcement:=====
| |
| Dresden Technical Specification 5.4.1 states that procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the fire protection program.
| |
| | |
| Procedure Step 5.1.1 of OP-AA-201-004, Revision 5, requires the work supervisor to obtain permission from the fire marshal to perform hot work by completing Section 1 of the Hot Work Permit, Attachment 1.
| |
| | |
| Contrary to the above, on July 22, 2003, the instrument maintenance supervisor did not obtain permission from the fire marshal prior to grinding in the auxiliary electric equipment room. Corrective actions by the licensee included establishing a continuous fire watch, refilling all halon bottles, briefing of this event with all instrument maintenance personnel, and coaching of individuals in accordance with station policy. Because this issue is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report No. 168648, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI. A, of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
| |
| | |
| NCV 05000237/2003-007-01 and 05000249/2003-007-01.

| ==1R06 Flood Protection==
| |
| {{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.06}}
| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report flood analysis documents and reviewed the licensees procedures for internal and external flooding.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors walked down the Unit 2 and 3 containment cooling service water system pump vault rooms and low pressure coolant injection systems corner rooms to verify drainage was unobstructed and to verify the integrity of flood barriers. In addition, the inspectors reviewed licensee procedures for external flooding for ensuring proper safe shutdown of the plant, and reviewed the licensees previously implemented corrective actions for deficiencies associated with flood protection.

| |
| ===.1 Quarterly Review of Licenced Operator Qualifications===
| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| On September 29, 2003, the inspectors observed operating crew #6 during an out-of-the-box requalification examination on the simulator. The inspectors evaluated crew performance in the areas of:
| |
| * clarity and formality of communications;
| |
| * ability to take timely actions;
| |
| * prioritization, interpretation and verification of alarms;
| |
| * procedure use;
| |
| * control board manipulations;
| |
| * supervisors command and control;
| |
| * management oversight; and
| |
| * group dynamics.
| |
| | |
| Crew performance in these areas was compared to licensee management expectations and guidelines as presented in the following documents:
| |
| * OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel, Revision 0;
| |
| * OP-AA-103-102, Watchstanding Practices, Revision 2;
| |
| * OP-AA-103-103, Operation of Plant Equipment, Revision 0;
| |
| * OP-AA-103-104, Reactivity Management Controls, Revision 2; and
| |
| * OP-AA-104-101, Communications, Revision 1.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors verified that the crew completed the critical tasks listed in the above simulator guide. The inspectors also compared simulator configurations with actual control board configurations. For any weaknesses identified, the inspectors observed the licensee evaluators to verify that they also noted the issues and discussed them in the critique at the end of the session.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors also reviewed selected issues documented in CRs, to determine if they had been properly addressed in the licensees corrective actions program. The documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report.
| |
| | |
| ====b. Findings====
| |
| No findings of significance were identified. | |
| | |
| ===.2 Annual Operating Test Results===

| The inspectors reviewed the licensees overall maintenance effectiveness for risk-significant mitigating systems. The inspectors also reviewed whether the licensee properly implemented the Maintenance Rule, 10 CFR 50.65, for the systems.
| |
| | |
| Specifically, the inspectors determined whether:
| |
| * the system was scoped in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65;
| |
| * performance problems constituted maintenance rule functional failures;
| |
| * the system had been assigned the proper safety significance classification;
| |
| * the system was properly classified as (a)(1) or (a)(2); and
| |
| * the goals and corrective actions for the system were appropriate.
| |
| | |
| The above aspects were evaluated using the maintenance rule program. The inspectors also verified that the licensee was appropriately tracking reliability and/or unavailability for the systems.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed the following system:

| |
| {{IP sample|IP=IP 71111.14}}
| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors reviewed the licensees response to any potential impacts on plant operations from the eastern power outage that occurred on August 14, 2003. The inspectors reviewed control room indication traces from the date of the power outage and interviewed licensed operators on any perturbations. In addition, the inspectors verified that the licensee did not plan on performing any production risk activities and that there were no surveillances that were approaching their respective critical due dates. Also, the inspectors evaluated the licensees response to a Unit 2 scram on September 30, 2003, which occurred on low reactor water level due to the tripping of the 2C reactor feed pump. The inspectors will review the licensee event report on this issue during the next inspection report period.

| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors reviewed the 2001 and 2002 Radioactive Effluent Release Reports, the errata report for the 2000 effluent report, and selected radioactive effluent release data for January 2002 through March 2003. The reports and data were reviewed to verify that the radioactive effluent control program was implemented as described in the ODCM, to verify that Technical Specification and ODCM dose limits were not exceeded, and to ensure that any anomalies in the reports and effluent release data were adequately understood by the licensee and were properly assessed and reported. The inspectors reviewed the licensees current methodology for the calculation of offsite dose, and selectively reviewed results of liquid and gaseous effluent sample analyses for selected periods in 2002 through early 2003, to verify that the licensee calculated dose from effluents consistent with the ODCM. In particular, the inspectors reviewed effluent data and associated dose calculation reports for all the unmonitored/abnormal releases (Dresden Abnormal Releases (DAR)) included in the 2001 and 2002 effluent reports to assess the licensees ability to adequately determine the public dose impact from those releases. The inspectors also reviewed revisions made to the ODCM in calendar years 2001 and 2002, and the justifications for other than editorial changes to the ODCM, to verify they did not adversely impact effluent controls and were evaluated by the licensee and reported in accordance with requirements.

| |
| | |
| ===.3 Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Releases===
| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors selectively reviewed batch liquid effluent release data and continuous gaseous effluent release data (for the time period January 2002 through February 2003), including results of station chemistry sample analyses and vendor laboratory analysis results for difficult to measure nuclides, and the licensees release procedures, practices and dose projections to members of the public. The review was performed to verify that the licensee adequately applied analysis results and that dose calculations conformed to ODCM methodology and Technical Specification requirements. The inspectors also selectively reviewed grab sample radioisotopic analysis results and licensee alarm set point calculations for liquid effluent batch releases to verify that the data was properly used to complete calculations of offsite dose consistent with ODCM methodology and the licensees procedures.

The review was performed to determine if calibration and efficiency acceptance criteria and ODCM specified LLDs were met and if the calibrations were conducted consistent with industry standards.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed the results of selected quarterly 2002 and 2003 radiochemistry inter-laboratory cross checks for both the licensee and its vendor analytical laboratory, to determine if the cross check program was being implemented adequately and to verify the quality of the radioactive effluent analyses performed by the licensee and its contract laboratory.

| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors sampled the licensees submittals for performance indicators (PIs) and periods listed below. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in Revision 2 of Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline to verify the accuracy of the PI data. The following four PIs were reviewed:
| |
| Unit 2
| |
| * safety system function failures, July 2002 through June 2003, and
| |
| * high pressure coolant injection system, October 2002 through August 2003.
| |
| | |
| Unit 3
| |
| * safety system function failures, July 2002 through June 2003, and
| |
| * high pressure coolant injection system, October 2002 through August 2003.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors reviewed selected applicable conditions and data from logs, licensee reports and CRs. The inspectors independently re-performed calculations where applicable. The inspectors compared that information to the information required for each performance indicator definition in the guideline to ensure that the licensee reported the data accurately.

| |
| | |
| Specifically, the inspectors reviewed CRs generated during the 12 months preceding the inspection to identify any potential occurrences such as unmonitored, uncontrolled or improperly calculated effluent releases that may have impacted offsite dose. Also, the inspectors evaluated the licensees methods for determining offsite dose and selectively verified that liquid and gaseous effluent release data and associated offsite dose calculations performed since this indicator was last reviewed in June 2002 were accurate. Records of monthly PI data elements were reviewed for June 2002 through March 2003 to verify that data was recorded and verified as required by the licensees procedure.

| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspector selected Condition Report (CR) No. 175749 for detailed review. The CR was associated with the repeated surveillance failures of the containment cooling service water (CCSW) system vault penetrations. The report was reviewed to ensure that the full extent of the issues were identified, an appropriate evaluation was performed, and appropriate corrective actions were specified and prioritized. The inspectors evaluated the report against the requirements of the licensees corrective action program as delineated in the corporate administrative procedure LS-AA-125, Corrective Action Program (CAP) Procedure, Revisions 4 and 5, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
| |
| | |
| ====b. Findings====
| |
| The inspector identified that a significant number of CRs had been written with regard to CCSW vault penetration seal failures. The inspector performed a walkdown of flood protection features associated with the Unit 2 and Unit 3 CCSW pump vaults. The pump vaults contain safety related mitigating systems susceptible to flooding from station internal equipment sources. There are four pumps in each units CCSW system that are designed to provide cooling water to the containment cooling heat exchangers, required for a safe shutdown following a design basis accident or transient.
| |
| | |
| Two of the four pumps associated with each unit are contained within a watertight vault.
| |
| | |
| The vaults are designed to ensure that a postulated rupture in the containment cooling service water system will not result in a loss of all four pumps from subsequent flooding.
| |
| | |
| During the system walkdown, the inspector verified that there were no visible holes or unsealed penetrations in floors and walls, and that watertight doors between flood areas were maintained in good material condition. The inspector examined the licensees penetration seal documentation for the purposes of determining if problems identified were entered into their corrective action program and if the problems were properly resolved. The nine penetrations were tested in accordance with Dresden Technical Surveillance (DTS) 0030-01, CCSW Pump Vault Surveillance Testing. A significant number of failures of Unit 2 and Unit 3 CCSW pump vault penetration seals had occurred between 1975 and 1996. The licensees current corrective action process began in 1996. The inspector examined licensees penetration surveillance records from 1997 to 2003 specifically for penetration seal failures.
| |
| | |
| The Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), Section 3.7.0, required that an 18-month surveillance be performed on the nine CCSW vault penetration seals with an acceptance criterion that there was no visible leak detection solution (soap bubble solution) on the pressure-free side of the penetration when subjected to 15 psig on the pressurized-side of the penetration. Upon failure of any of the nine penetration seals, the Control Room was notified and the CCSW pump vault was declared inoperable and this in turn resulted in the B and C CCSW pumps, which are located inside the pump vault, being declared inoperable per TRM action statement 3.7.o.C.1. Based on the inoperability of the two CCSW Pumps, the respective operating unit entered a 7-day action statement per Technical Specification 3.7.1 to restore at least one pump to operable status. In addition, the unit entered an 8-hour action statement per the TRM 3.6.a, for inoperability of the Drywell Spray subsystem.
| |
| | |
| The licensee has a history of numerous penetration failures that required maintenance personnel to tighten the penetration belt link seals and bring the seals into conformance with the acceptance criteria of the surveillance requirements. This tightening of failed seals has repeatedly been required every 18 months on both units since March 28, 1997. The result of the repetitive seal failures (based on each unit having 9 penetration seals tested) is detailed below.
| |
| | |
| Unit 3: 3/28/97- 6 failures; 1/29/99- 4 failures; 12/11/01- 3 failures; 6/06/02-2 failures.
| |
| | |
| Unit 2: 3/06/98- 5 failures; 10/11/99- 6 failures; 4/12/01- 3 failures; 5/01/02-4 failures.
| |
| | |
| In summary, there were eight tests involving 33 failed penetration seals over a period exceeding 5 years; however, the licensee did not quantify the leakage rate during the 5-year period. By not quantifying the leakage rate the licensee could not establish or assure the reliability of the penetration seals in order to prevent all four pumps from being inoperable during the internal flooding event. The repetitive failure of the penetration seals is indicative of an established acceptance criterion that cannot be relied upon to maintain the seal integrity through the entire surveillance interval.
| |
| | |
| On July 30, 2002, the licensee shortened the surveillance test interval to every 3 months instead of 18 months based on the continued failures. The results from the 3-month test interval is detailed below.
| |
| | |
| Unit 2: 7/30/02- 1 failure; 10/29/02- 2 failures; 1/30/03- 3 failures; 4/30/03-3 failures.
| |
| | |
| Unit 3: 9/04/02- 3 failures; 12/03/02- 1 failure; 3/05/03- 4 failures.
| |
| | |
| On June 27, 2003, the licensee determined that the existing acceptance criterion of zero-leakage was over-conservative. The licensee subsequently changed the criterion from no visible seal leakage, to less than or equal to a total leakage of 1.5 gpm for all nine wall penetrations, the floor drain check valve, and the vault bulkhead door. The appropriate acceptance criterion change was made to TRM Section TSR 3.7.0.2.
| |
| | |
| The leakage surveillance tests, after the criterion was changed to include a measurable value, resulted in the following recorded data:
| |
| Unit 3: 6/27/03 - Total Leakage

| | |
| =====Introduction:=====
| |
| A Green self-revealed finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of Technical Specifications was identified on October 8, 2002, and December 7, 2002, for the licensees failure to ensure that Unit 3 was not operated with reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage. As a result, the licensee was not in compliance with Technical Specifications on two occasions for Unit 3 while operating with pressure boundary leakage.
| |
| | |
| =====Description:=====
| |
| On October 8, 2002, in preparation for shutting down Unit 3 for the start of the 17th refueling outage, the licensee entered the drywell to inspect for leakage due to an increasing trend in the reactor coolant system (RCS) leakage which had been trending up since September 14, 2002. The licensee identified that the leakage was from a 1 inch diameter piping socket weld on the A reactor recirculation loop low pressure flow venturi differential pressure sensing line. Technical Specification 3.4.4, Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage, requires that reactor coolant system operational leakage shall be limited to no pressure boundary leakage. As a result of the identified pressure boundary leakage, the licensee initiated the actions of Limiting Conditions for Operations 3.4.4.C to be in Mode 3 in 12 hours and Mode 4 in 36 hours.
| |
| | |
| The licensee performed a root cause investigation for the weld failure and determined that high cycle fatigue due to an inadequate 1-1 axial leg socket weld application in a system experiencing flow-induced vibration caused the failure of the weld. The weld was an industry standard at the time of its installation in 1985. The licensee replaced the sensing line elbows and piping with a pipe configuration without elbows. Also, as part of the repair, the licensee performed the weld installation with a 2-1 axial leg socket weld on the 3A and 3B reactor recirculation sensing lines. The licensees failure to implement effective corrective actions from two previous high cycle fatigue weld failures on similar configurations and to implement recommendations from the Electrical Power Research Institute report TR-113890 to build up the weld to a 2-1 axial weld contributed to this repeat weld failure.
| |
| | |
| Due to the return of elevated drywell leakage on November 8, 2002, the licensee reduced power to perform a drywell inspection on December 7, 2002. The licensee identified that a Unit 3 weld failure occurred on the reactor recirculation A loop low pressure flow venturi differential pressure sensing line. The licensees completed root cause investigation concluded that the weld failure was due to mechanically induced residual pipe stress caused by the inadequate installation techniques performed on the reactor recirculation sensing line repaired during the last refueling outage in October 2002 (same weld as above), along with sensing line vibration caused by resonance frequency with the pump speed.
| |
| | |
| To repair this failure, the licensee used an enhanced fit-up process to minimize the welding induced residual stresses and used proper tie-back support alignment to minimize mechanically induced stress. Also, the licensee established an exclusion zone and action level values to minimize reactor recirculation pump speed in the area of the resonance frequency of the piping. In addition, the licensee plans to install a piping configuration modification to improve the vibration response characteristics of both A and B reactor recirculation loops high and low pressure sensing lines.
| |
| | |
| =====Analysis:=====
| |
| The inspectors evaluated this finding using Phase 1 of the SDP which screened this finding to a Phase 2 because the finding affected the RCS barrier. The inspectors used the risk-informed inspection notebook for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Revision 1, dated May 3, 2002, to complete the Phase 2 evaluation. In reviewing the Phase 2 assessment performed by the resident inspectors, the senior reactor analyst (SRA) identified that the dominant sequence SLOCA - EC in the Dresden SDP Worksheet was potentially risk significant. Further review by the SRA identified that this sequence was an overly conservative sequence. The EC represents vapor suppression of the containment and SLOCA represents a small break loss of coolant accident. The worksheet only credited successful operation of 12 out of 12 vacuum breakers to perform the EC function; however, this was a passive action to ensure the vacuum breakers were closed or remain closed. In reviewing the licensees Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA), the SRA noted that the licensee defines success of vapor suppression as either 12 out of 12 vacuum breakers, containment spray or reactor pressure vessel (RPV) blowdown. The SDP worksheets did not provide additional credit for containment sprays or RPV blowdown. If additional credit was provided for containment sprays (1 multi-train) in the EC function, the full point value for the sequence would be 8 multi-train. This would result in the sequence being of very low risk significance. Additionally, the licensees PRA identified the SLOCA contribution to overall CDF of <1%, with a baseline CDF of 1.9E-08/reactor-year. This results in an overall SLOCA contribution from all sources of small breaks as <2.0 E-08/reactor-year.
| |
| | |
| As a result of the vacuum breaker function of EC being a passive action, NRR has removed this sequence from recently benchmarked plants, as it was not found to be a dominant contributor to SLOCA. Therefore, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, Green. The inspectors determined that this finding also affected the cross-cutting area of Human Performance because the licensee operated Unit 3 in non-compliance of Technical Specifications on two occasions.
| |
| | |
| =====Enforcement:=====
| |
| Technical Specification 3.4.4, Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage, requires that reactor coolant system operational leakage shall be limited to no pressure boundary leakage in Modes 1, 2, and 3. The Limiting Condition for Operation Action Statement requires that the plant be placed in Mode 3 in 12 hours and Mode 4 in the following 36 hours. Although the exact time that the pressure boundary leakage occurred could not be precisely determined, it is clear that the leakage existed for greater than the 12 and 36 hour time limits to place the plant in Mode 3 and 4, respectively. Therefore, the licensee failed to operate Unit 3 in accordance with Technical Specification 3.4.4 which resulted in operating the unit in Modes 1, 2 and 3, with pressure boundary leakage from September 14 through October 8, 2002, and November 8 through December 7, 2002. This failure is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensees corrective action program as condition reports 126277 and 134459. Therefore, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. NCV 050000249/2003-07-02.

| |
| | |
| Operation of the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) gland seal leak off (GSLO)
| |
| System at Below the Minimum Required Operating Voltage When the System was Upgraded to Safety-Related Status
| |
| | |
| ====a. Inspection Scope====
| |
| The inspectors assessed an URI regarding the licensees failure to re-analyze the operation of the HPCI GSLO turbine gland steam condenser exhauster and its hotwell drain pump motors below the minimum required operating voltage of 90 percent of rated voltage. The re-analysis was needed to ensure that minimal operating voltages were available for these components since these components were upgraded to safety-related status in 1997 and 1998 for Units 3 and 2, respectively.
| |
| | |
| The licensee reexamined the acceptability of the available voltage for the exhauster and hotwell drain pump motors and documented the results in calculation DRE96-0189, Voltage on Loads Fed from the Safety-Related 250 VDC Batteries, Revision 01. The NRC reviewed the calculation. The NRC reviewed the results of licensee conducted qualification tests of similar motors and agreed that the motors remained operable under the postulated undervoltage conditions.
| |
| | |
| ====b. Findings====
| |
| | |
| =====Introduction:=====
| |
| The inspectors determined that the design control process failed to translate design criteria into procedures creating a condition where the acceptability of the HPCI GLSO turbine gland steam condenser exhauster and its hotwell drain pump motors had not been verified by a valid calculation or qualification test when the motors were upgraded to safety-related status. This issue was considered to be of very low safety significance and was dispositioned as an NCV.
| |
| | |
| =====Description:=====
| |
| When the inspectors reviewed the existing calculation at the time that the motors were upgraded to safety-related status, the inspectors noted several inconsistencies. The conclusion section of this calculation stated that the HPCI turbine gland steam condenser exhaust and its hotwell drain pump motors would experience less than 90 percent of their rated voltage during one or more periods. Therefore, successful operation of the equipment could not be assured. The calculation also documented that the subject equipment was classified as non safety-related and would not be required for HPCI operation. Furthermore, the conclusion section stated that if these motors were upgraded to safety-related in the future, additional investigation would be required to demonstrate successful operation at available voltages. The inspectors identified that although the motors had been re-classified as safety-related, and needed for HPCI operation, the licensee had not performed requisite analysis to ensure equipment operability. After the inspectors identified these inconsistencies, the licensee revised the calculation, performed qualification testing and generally, fulfilled qualification that the motors would operate under the postulated undervoltage conditions.
| |
| | |
| =====Analysis:=====
| |
| Using Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Disposition Screening, the inspectors determined this finding was more than minor because the design process allowed upgrading the motors to safety-related without assuring fulfillment of known design requirements that affected the mitigating system cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, and the reliability and capability of HPCI to respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Continuous operation of the GSLO system was required to support HPCI operation because of room temperature concerns.
| |
| | |
| The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, Significance Determination of Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations, regarding mitigating systems and determined that the finding did not represent an actual loss of the safety function. Therefore, the finding screened as Green, a finding of very low safety significance. This finding was assigned to the mitigating systems cornerstone for both units.
| |
| | |
| =====Enforcement:=====
| |
| Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and design basis are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.
| |
| | |
| Contrary to the above, as of February 9, 2000, the design requirement to assure that the HPCI GLSO turbine gland steam condenser exhauster and its hotwell drain pump motors would operate at less than 90 percent of their rated voltage during one or more periods was not correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures or instructions for the subject motors. Specifically the controlling calculation had not been updated to assure that the motors would operate with the undervoltage conditions when the motors were upgraded to safety-related. Because the licensee entered the condition into their corrective action system as Corrective Action Process PIF D2000-00801, Calculation DRE96-0189 Does Not Reflect SR Upgrade of HPCI GSLO & GDEF, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 050000237/2003-007-03 and NCV 050000249/2003-007-03.

| ===.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item 50-237;249/2002-006-03: Halon and CO2 Fixed Suppression===
| |
| | |
| System Functionality Issues. This issue was reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Regulation (NRR) and the Office of General Counsel (OGC). The NRC staffs acceptance of the CO 2 system was based on the licensees commitment to satisfy the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 12-1973, Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems. The NRC staffs acceptance of the Halon System was based on the licensees commitment to satisfy the requirements of NFPA 12A-1973, Halogenated Fire Extinguishing Agent Systems - Halon 1301." The licensees design basis for the auxiliary equipment and electric room CO2 system was 50 percent concentration with soak time of 10 minutes. The design basis for the Halon system was 5 percent with soak time of 10 minutes. The review conducted by NRR and OGC determined that the design concentration and soak time for both systems were acceptable.
| |
| | |
| Although the licensee committed to design and install a CO2 system which met the requirements of NFPA 12-1973, the licensee specifically took exception to the NFPA 12 requirements for testing and stated that installation acceptance tests were not specifically performed. Licensee records stated that shop testing was completed for the systems. In the NRCs Safety Evaluation Report which accepted the system as adequate based on the commitment to NFPA 12-1973, no concerns were identified with the exception to testing. None of the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48, General Design Criteria 3, and the criteria of Branch Technical Position 9.5-1 specifically required a full discharge test to be conducted to prove operability. Additionally, the 1973 edition of the standard for both systems did not explicitly require a full discharge test. Therefore, no full discharge test was required. The NRC concluded that the licensing basis for gaseous suppression systems at Dresden has been met. This item is closed.

| ===.3 (Closed) Unresolved Item 50-237/03-006-04: Loose Bolts on the Unit 3 A Standby===
| |
| | |
| Liquid Control System Relief Valve
| |
| | |
| =====Introduction:=====
| |
| The inspectors identified a finding involving a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, for the failure of mechanical maintenance personnel to generate a condition report after identifying loose bolts on the standby liquid control relief valve. This human performance deficiency resulted in the licensee having to perform a historical operability evaluation on the condition of the system.
| |
| | |
| =====Description:=====
| |
| As a result of the inspectors review of licensee-identified measuring and test equipment concerns, the inspector reviewed work order 00420336-07. The work order directed the replacement of the Unit 3 A standby liquid control relief valve which used torque wrench #0013622580. Prior to starting the work on October 12, 2002, the maintenance mechanics documented that the A relief valve bolts were found finger tight instead of at their required torque value. Subsequently, the inspector identified that a condition report had not been written for the nonconforming condition nor was an operability evaluation performed on the system. Administrative Procedure, LS-AA-125, Corrective Action Program (CAP) Procedure, Revision 4, requires that Exelon Nuclear personnel and contractors at Exelon Nuclear locations shall originate a condition report or inform a supervisor when an undesirable condition is recognized. The mechanical maintenance personnels failure to generate a condition report upon finding the loose bolts on the standby liquid control system is a violation.
| |
| | |
| After identified by the inspector, both the maintenance and engineering department personnel wrote condition reports and determined a historical operability evaluation was warranted. The maintenance condition report assumed the finger tight bolts were on the discharge flange and not the inlet; however, the condition report written by engineering personnel was to evaluate the system operability for both the inlet and discharge flanges. In addition to the historical operability evaluation, the mechanical maintenance manager reinforced the requirement of initiating condition reports when deficiencies are identified. The inspectors reviewed the licensees historical operability evaluation and concluded that the system remained operable because quarterly surveillance testing flow requirements were met and no leakage was identified from the inlet side of the relief valve. With respect to the outlet flange, the standby liquid control pressure at the relief valve during an anticipated transient without scram was evaluated to reach 1469 psig. The relief valve was tested in November 2002 and indicated a correct lift pressure of 1500 psig. Therefore, if the system had been required to operate, the relief valve would not have lifted and the outlet flange bolts would not have been pressurized.
| |
| | |
| =====Analysis:=====
| |
| The finding was more than minor because it affected the mitigating system cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors review of this finding using the significance determination process, Phase 1, determined that the finding screened out as Green because the finding was not a design deficiency, was not an actual loss of safety function, was not a loss of safety function beyond the allowed outage time of technical specifications, was not a loss of safety function of one or more non-technical specification trains of risk significant equipment, and was not complicated by any external events. This finding was determined to be of low safety significance because the system was determined to have been operable with the loose bolts. The inspectors determined that this error also affected the cross-cutting area of Human Performance because the maintenance personnel failed to generate a condition report for the as-found deficient condition.
| |
| | |
| =====Enforcement:=====
| |
| Appendix B, Criterion V, 10 CFR 50, requires that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with procedures. Administrative Procedure, LS-AA-125, Corrective Action Program (CAP) Procedure, Revision 4, requires that Exelon Nuclear personnel and contractors at Exelon Nuclear locations shall originate a condition report or inform a supervisor when an undesirable condition is recognized.
| |
| | |
| Contrary to the above, on October 12, 2002, maintenance mechanics working on the A standby liquid control system relief valve did not generate a condition report nor inform a supervisor upon the discovery of the loose bolts on the relief valve as required by LS-AA-125. This is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V. Because this violation is of very low safety significance and has been entered in to the licensees corrective action program as condition reports 162781and 162835, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A, of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
| |
| NCV 05000249/2003-007-04.

| |
| ==4OA7 Licensee Identified Violation==
| |
| | |
| The following violation of very low significance was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Manual, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as NCVs.
| |
| | |
| ===Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity===
| |
| | |
| ===.1 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality===
| |
| | |
| shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
| |
| | |
| 10 CFR 50.9 requires, in part, that information required by the Commissions regulations, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects.
| |
| | |
| Commonwealth Edison Nuclear Station Welding Procedure NSWP-W-01, ASME Welding, Revision 5, dated June 12, 1998, required, in part, that Quality Verification perform pre fit-up and fit up inspections.
| |
| | |
| Exelon Nuclear Procedure NO-AA-300-001, Inspection Planning and Execution of Quality Inspection Activities, Revision 0, dated September 10, 2001, applied to independent inspection for safety related, ASME code, and augmented quality work at Exelon nuclear stations. Section 5 of the procedure required, in part, that inspections be documented using approved instructions, procedures, process sheets, travelers, or checklists and applicable drawings.
| |
| | |
| As described in AR 00127520 and 00128073, on October 15, 2002, a contract Quality Verification (QV) inspector failed to perform pre fit-up and fit-up inspections associated with four welds on the flow sensing line of the Unit 3A recirculation loop. Additionally, the QV inspector documented on the ASME Weld Record that the inspections had been completed. This information is material to the NRC because it demonstrates compliance with the Commissions regulations and procedures of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.
| |
| | |
| The NRC Office of Investigation (OI) investigated the matter and concluded that the individual deliberately falsified quality control records. Since the incident was determined to be a deliberate violation of NRC requirements, the violation was subject to the traditional enforcement process instead of the NRCs significance determination process. The violation was categorized in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy at Severity Level IV. On October 8, 2003, after considering the circumstances of the case and after consulting with the Director, Office of Enforcement, a Non-Cited Violation was issued to the licensee (ADAMS Accession No. ML032820115), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

| ===.2 (Closed) LER 50-237/249/2003-001-00: Electromatic Relief Valve (ERV) Pressure===
| |
| | |
| Switches Drift Greater than Estimated On May 19, 2003, while performing DIS 0250-03, Revision 37, Electromatic Relief Valve/Target Rock Valve Pressure Switches Calibration, on Unit 3, instrument maintenance department personnel found that the pressure switch setpoint (with head correction) for ERV 3-203-3B (as-found at 1112.6 psig) exceeded the Technical Specification (TS) allowable value of #1110.5 psig, and the analytical limit of 1112 psig.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, the pressure switch setpoint for ERV 3-203-3D (as-found at 1134.5 psig)exceeded the TS allowable value of #1133.5 psig. The licensee readjusted each pressure switch to within procedural tolerances and declared each switch operable prior to proceeding to the next switch.
| |
| | |
| On May 21, 2003, while performing DIS 0250-03, Revision 37, on Unit 2, instrument maintenance department personnel found that the pressure switch setpoint (with head correction) for ERV 2-203-3B (as-found at 1113.6 psig) exceeded the TS allowable value of #1110.5 psig, and the AL of 1112 psig. Additionally the pressure switch setpoint for ERV 2-203-3C (as-found at 1112.9 psig) exceeded the TS allowable value of #1110.5 psig and the analytical limit of 1112 psig. The licensee readjusted each pressure switch to within procedural tolerances and declared each switch operable prior to proceeding to the next switch.
| |
| | |
| TS 3.3.6.3 requires that the relief valve instrumentation for each function in Table 3.3.6.3-1 shall be operable with an allowable value of #1133.5 psig for relief valves and #1110.5 psig for the low set relief valves. Contrary to the above, on May 19, 2003, ERV 3-203-3B and ERV 3-203-3D as-found pressure switch setpoints exceeded the TS allowable values, and on May 21, 2003, ERV 2-203-3B and ERV 2-203-3C as-found pressure switch setpoints exceeded the TS allowable values.
| |
| | |
| The licensee conducted a root cause evaluation and determined that the root cause of this event were ineffective implementation of previous corrective actions (lower the field setpoints) from three 1996 LERs and calculation errors (underestimation of the expected setpoint drift). A missed opportunity was identified in that a previous root cause evaluation for a similar event in 2002 (LER 50-237/2002-005) did not identify all of the root causes.
| |
| | |
| The safety significance of this event was minimal because the design functions for the relief valves would not have been compromised and reactor pressure would have remained within the safety analyses while taking into account the actual as-found setpoint values.
