SUBJECT:

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 - INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000313/2020004 AND 05000368/2020004

Dear Mr. Dinelli:

On December 31, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. On January 14, 2021, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

One finding of very low safety significance (Green) is documented in this report. This finding did not involve a violation of NRC requirements.

On September 23, 2020, the NRC issued NOTICE OF VIOLATION; NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000313/2020404 and 05000368/2020404; and NRC Investigation Report 4-2019-009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20267A403), which documented the results of NRC Office of Investigations Report 4-2019-009 and included a Severity Level III Notice of Violation for willful misconduct related to the control of prohibited items in the protected area. Region IV staff reviewed the corrective actions associated with the violation and determined that no additional follow-up actions are planned or necessary as delineated by Inspection Procedure 92702. The basis for this determination is documented in the enclosed report.

If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One. This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting an integrated inspection at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations

Incorrect Gasket Installed on High-Pressure Feedwater Heater 2E-2B Results in Forced Shutdown Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Initiating Events Green FIN 05000368/2020004-01 Open/Closed

[H.5] - Work Management 71153 A self-revealed, Green finding was identified for the licensees failure to follow Work Order 52770426 and associated Procedure EN-WM-102, Work Implementation and Closeout, Revision 12, which states that coordination and control of work activities will be performed by the implementing work group supervisors/team leaders or designees in accordance with Procedure EN-MA-101, Conduct of Maintenance. Specifically, during the fall 2018 refueling outage, supplemental maintenance workers installed the wrong gaskets on the Unit 2 high-pressure feedwater heaters (2E-1B and 2E-2B) contrary to work order requirements. This failure resulted in a leak in the 2E-2B feedwater heater and required a rapid unit shutdown and forced outage on November 1, 2020, to replace the gaskets.

Additional Tracking Items

None.

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 began the inspection period at full power and remained at full power until November 19, 2020, when operators reduced power to 85 percent power to perform turbine valve testing. The unit was returned to full power the same day, where it remained for the rest of the reporting period except for minor reductions in power to support scheduled surveillances.

Unit 2 began the inspection period at full power and remained at full power until November 1, 2020, when operators performed a rapid power reduction and shut down the reactor due to a leaking feedwater heater manway gasket on feedwater heater 2E-2B.

Following repairs, the reactor was made critical on November 3, 2020, and the unit was returned to full power on November 5, 2020. On December 10, 2020, Unit 2 automatically tripped from 100 percent power following a failure involving the main feedwater pump A control system. After repairs, the reactor was made critical on December 13, 2020, and the unit was returned to full power on December 14, 2020. Unit 2 remained at full power for the rest of the reporting period except for minor reductions in power to support scheduled surveillances.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19),resident inspectors were directed to begin telework and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time, the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week; conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D, Plant Status; observed risk-significant activities; and completed on-site portions of IPs. In addition, resident and regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portions of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on-site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

- ADDITIONAL REVIEWS On September 23, 2020, the NRC issued ANO Inspection Report 05000313/2020404 and 05000368/2020404 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20267A403), which documented the results of NRC Office of Investigations Report 4-2019-009 and included a Notice of Violation (NOV) for willful misconduct related to the control of prohibited items in the protected area. Region IV staff reviewed the licensees corrective actions associated with the NOV. The staff determined that the licensee took appropriate corrective actions once they learned of the issue, including investigation of the issue, taking disciplinary actions against the individuals involved, and implementing additional corrective actions to inform contract personnel of the impact of any willful actions on their part. Additionally, the staff considered that the willful actions taken by the contractor staff occurred while the licensee was in the process of implementing a Confirmatory Order issued to Entergy to correct willful actions. The Agency has stated that, the NRC has confidence that the corrective actions taken or planned by Entergy will correct the problems and there has been substantial NRC involvement to ensure that Entergy adequately implements those actions. Therefore, based on the corrective actions taken by Entergy to address willful action across the fleet, and specifically the corrective actions taken by the licensee for this specific incident, Region IV staff have determined that no additional follow-up actions are planned or necessary as delineated by Inspection Procedure 92702 for this escalated enforcement action.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Incorrect Gasket Installed on High-Pressure Feedwater Heater 2E-2B Results in Forced Shutdown Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Initiating Events

Green FIN 05000368/2020004-01 Open/Closed

[H.5] - Work Management 71153 A self-revealed, Green finding was identified for the licensees failure to follow Work Order 52770426 and associated Procedure EN-WM-102, Work Implementation and Closeout, Revision 12, which states that coordination and control of work activities will be performed by the implementing work group supervisors/team leaders or designees in accordance with Procedure EN-MA-101, Conduct of Maintenance. Specifically, during the fall 2018 refueling outage, supplemental maintenance workers installed the wrong gaskets on the Unit 2 high-pressure feedwater heaters (2E-1B and 2E-2B) contrary to work order requirements. This failure resulted in a leak in the 2E-2B feedwater heater and required a rapid unit shutdown and forced outage on November 1, 2020, to replace the gaskets.

Description:

On November 1, 2020, site personnel observed high temperature water/steam spraying from the 2E-2B feedwater heater in the Unit 2 turbine building. The degrading conditions of the leak and safety concerns for personnel and nearby equipment led the site to shut down the reactor on that same day, November 1, 2020, by use of their Abnormal Operating Procedure 2203.053, for Rapid Power Reduction. The site wrote Condition Report CR-ANO-2-2020-03546 and performed an investigation of the event. The investigation revealed that supplemental maintenance workers had failed to install the correct gasket during maintenance on the 2E-2B feedwater heater. During an extent of condition review of the other high-pressure feedwater heaters, the licensee identified that the 2E-1B feedwater heater also had an incorrect gasket installed.

The sites causal analysis concluded that the maintenance workers likely switched gaskets between high-pressure heaters and low-pressure heaters that were opened during the same maintenance window in 2018. During that maintenance window, three high-pressure feedwater heaters and four low-pressure feedwater heaters were opened, providing the opportunity for gasket mix-up. Additionally, the 2E-2A gasket was replaced at the end of the 2018 outage due to leakage during system pressurization. At the time of this inspection, the site had not yet verified that the low-pressure heaters contained gaskets designated for high-pressure heaters because that condition would result in stronger gaskets than necessary for the application and would not represent a failure vulnerability. The site did verify that sufficient amounts of the proper type and number of heater gaskets were provided to maintenance workers for the feedwater heater maintenance window. Although there are similarities between the low-pressure gaskets and high-pressure gaskets, the gaskets were labeled with part numbers and there were also differences that should have been apparent to skilled workers.

The site missed an opportunity for early detection of the gasket mix-up when a gasket leak occurred on the 2E-2A high-pressure feedwater heater as it was being pressurized after the maintenance window in November 2018. That gasket was replaced without documenting whether the leaking gasket was the correct material. The condition report (CR) written in 2018 recommended checking the manway covers on the other feedwater heaters that had been worked on, but there was no documentation for those checks. The causal analysis stated that the addition of a gasket verification step in the work order would have prevented the installation of the incorrect gaskets.

Corrective Actions: Unit 2 high-pressure feedwater heater gaskets (2E-1B and 2E-2B) were replaced during the forced outage.

Corrective Action References: Condition Reports CR-ANO-2-2020-03546 and CR-ANO-2-2020-03556

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: The licensees failure to follow instructions in Work Order 52770426 and Procedure EN-WM-102 when installing gaskets on the Unit 2 high-pressure feedwater heater manway covers during the fall 2018 refueling outage was a performance deficiency.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Initiating Events cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the installation errors caused a feedwater heater gasket failure and required an emergent, unplanned plant shutdown in order to replace the gaskets.

Significance: The inspectors assessed the significance of the finding using Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power. The inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because it did not cause a reactor trip AND the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition (Exhibit 1, Section B).

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.5 - Work Management: The organization implements a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. The work process includes the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups or job activities. Specifically, the licensee did not implement a process for appropriate control and execution of work activities performed by the supplemental workers. As a result, the wrong gasket material was used for two (and potentially three) high-pressure feedwater heater covers.

Enforcement:

Inspectors did not identify a violation of regulatory requirements associated with this finding.
