SUBJECT:

SURRY POWER STATION - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000280/2020002 AND 05000281/2020002 AND EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION

Dear Mr. Stoddard:

On June 30, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Surry Power Station. On July 16, 2020, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Doug Lawrence, 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 involved a violation of NRC requirements. We are treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

A finding and an associated violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified. Because this finding and violation was identified during the discretion period covered by Enforcement Guidance Memorandum 15-002, Rev. 1, Enforcement Discretion for Tornado Missile Protection Non-compliance, and because the licensee was implementing compensatory measures, the NRC is exercising enforcement discretion by not issuing an enforcement action and is allowing continued reactor operation.

If you contest the violation or the significance or severity of the violation documented in this inspection report, 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, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Surry Power Station.

If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment 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 II; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Surry Power Station. 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.

PLANT STATUS

Unit 1 operated at or near rated thermal power (RTP) for the entire inspection period.

Unit 2 began the inspection period at RTP. On April 7, 2020, Unit 2 began coast down from RTP to 80 percent RTP. On May 3, 2020, the licensee performed a shutdown for entry into a scheduled refueling outage. On June 2, 2020, Unit 2 achieved criticality following the refueling outage returned to RTP on June 6,

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 (COVID-19), resident inspectors were directed to begin teleworking and to remotely access licensee information using available technology. During this time the resident inspectors performed periodic site visits each week and during that time conducted plant status activities as described in IMC 2515, Appendix D; 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 portion 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.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Lift of Surry Unit 2 B Pressurizer Safety Relief Valve while Partially Installed in System Cornerstone Significance Cross-Cutting Aspect Report Section Mitigating Systems

Green NCV 05000281/2020002-01 Open/Closed

[H.12] - Avoid Complacency 71152 A self-revealing Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, was observed associated with the licensees inability to accomplish an activity affecting quality, the lifting and rigging of the Unit 2 B pressurizer safety relief valve, in accordance with documented instructions and procedures, 0-MCM-0424-02, Pressurizer Safety Valve Installation, and GMP-001, Heavy Load Rigging and Movement. This resulted in damage to the valve and adverse impact on the decay heat removal key safety function while in cold shutdown from May 25, 2020, through May 29, 2020.

Description:

On May 25, 2020, with Unit 2 in cold shutdown, maintenance personnel were assigned and briefed to install the safety-related 2-RC-SV-2551B, Unit 2 'B' pressurizer safety relief valve. This evolution was scheduled for less than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, during which the decay heat removal key safety function shutdown risk state would be Yellow due to the loss of the additional backup decay heat removal function provided by reflux cooling/gravity feed &

bleed. Licensee procedures 0-MCM-0424-01, Removal of Pressurizer Safety Valves, and 0-MCM-0424-02, Pressurizer Safety Valve Installation, govern the removal and installation of associated valves. These procedures direct the use of Surry site-specific procedure GMP-001, Heavy Load Rigging and Movement, which in turn incorporates MA-AA-101, Lifting and Material Handling, the fleet level procedure for support of the activity. During the initial attempt to install the relief valve inlet and outlet studs, it was identified that one set of threads was galled. Corrective maintenance would require valve removal and machinist support to rework the threads. Technicians began the process of removing the installed studs from the safety valve. However, they failed to account for 1 of the 12 studs installed at the valve inlet flange.

As the task shifted from installation to removal, a Rigger in Charge (RIC) was identified to direct the work. The RIC established a rigging crew of qualified individuals and set about connecting the equipment and material required to move the valve using a chain fall and slings attached to the polar crane. While the crew performing the lift completed a pre-job brief for the purpose of installing the relief valve, there was a failure to perform a pre-job brief in accordance with GMP-001, step 3.8, bullet 5 for the changed work scope to remove the valve and affect additional maintenance. Pre-job brief sub-bullet 4 specifically ensures the identification of load interferences. The rigging crew did not identify that 1 of the 12 studs remained installed at the valve inlet flange. Additionally, the maintenance crew failed to engage Dominion supervision in advance of the lift.

At approximately 1040, the riggers attempted to lift the valve. The lift was stopped by the failure of the chain fall chain. The links were reported as stretched and broken. Witnesses observed the valve lift at least one-half of an inch, then fall and twist on the inlet flange as it landed. No one was injured as a result of the event. Based upon input from the valve vendor, the relief valve was declared inoperable and non-functional due to the potential for internal damage and misalignment of the seats and connecting subcomponents.

As a result of this human performance event, the reflux cooling/gravity feed & bleed function remained unavailable rendering the decay heat removal key safety function in an elevated shutdown risk state, Yellow, until installation of a new safety relief valve on May 29, 2020.

Corrective Actions: Dominion Energy performed a human performance review board and level of effort evaluation associated with the human performance event. With respect to the equipment reliability impact, the licensee performed engineering inspections of the effected piping, supports, and flange faces as well as installed a replacement safety relief valve.

Corrective Action References: CR1148304, CA8045887

Performance Assessment:

Performance Deficiency: Inspectors found that Dominion Energys failure to perform a pre-job brief identifying load interferences in accordance with GMP-001 and 0-MCM-0424-02 was a performance deficiency reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and prevent. This resulted in the failure to recognize that the unit 2 B Pressurizer Safety Relief Valve remained partially installed during the lift. This caused damage to the valve and the extended the loss of the additional backup decay heat removal reflux cooling/gravity feed & bleed function from less than 4-hours to May 25, 2020 through May 29, 2020.

Screening: The inspectors determined the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. This finding was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Issue Screening, Appendix B, Additional Issue Screening Guidance, dated January 1, 2020, as it represented an adverse impact to the Human Performance attribute of the Reactor Safety - Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The availability and capability of the decay heat removal key safety function was adversely affected by the extended loss of the additional backup decay heat removal reflux cooling/gravity feed & bleed function. The More than Minor Example 4.b of IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, dated January 1, 2020, was used to inform the answer to the more than minor screening questions. Consistent with example 4.b, the described performance deficiency is not minor as the extended loss of the reflux cooling/gravity feed & bleed function was a challenge to the decay heat removal key safety function during shutdown.

Significance: The inspectors assessed significance of this rigging and lifting event in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, Attachment 1, Exhibit 3, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, Section A. The inspectors determined that this finding required a Phase 2 detailed risk evaluation or analysis as it represented an actual loss of safety function, reflux cooling/gravity feed & bleed function, of one or more non-TS Trains of equipment during shutdown, in cold shutdown, designated as risk significant, associated with a change in decay heat removal key safety function shutdown risk state, for greater than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

A regional senior reactor analyst (SRA) conducted a detailed risk assessment using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609 Appendix G, Attachment 2, Phase 2 Significance Determination Process Template for PWR During Shutdown, dated January 8, 2020. The SRA observed the unit had been shut down for 22 days, and the plant was in POS II in the late time window when the condition occurred on May 25, 2020. The reactor coolant system was vented from May 25 until May 29, and primary means of decay heat removal was from A RHR. The condition affects the backup decay heat removal of reflux cooling/gravity feed &

bleed, due to adversely impacting the vent path used. The SRA determined that in POS II, the conditional finding only affected gravity feed mitigating function in a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP). Using Worksheet 4, SDP for a PWR Plant - Loss of Offsite Power in POS 2 (RCS Vented), and one path of gravity feed and bleed (GRAV) was not considered available. The SRA concluded the performance deficiency represented finding of very low safety significance (Green).

Cross-Cutting Aspect: H.12 - Avoid Complacency: Individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of mistakes, latent issues, and inherent risk, even while expecting successful outcomes. Individuals implement appropriate error reduction tools. This finding in accordance with IMC 0310, Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 04, 2014, has a cross-cutting aspect in the Human Performance cross-cutting area associated with Avoid Complacency, in that Dominion Energy individual contributors failed to perform a thorough review of the work site and planned activity when the scope of work for the B Pressurizer Relief Valve changed relying on assumed conditions.

Enforcement:

Violation: 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, states in part, 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.

Contrary to the above, on May 25, 2020, during performance of rigging and lifting of the unit 2 B pressurizer safety relief valve, Dominion Energy did not accomplish the quality related activities as prescribed in 0-MCM-0424-02, Pressurizer Safety Valve Installation, and GMP-001, Heavy Load Rigging and Movement. This resulted in damage to the valve and adverse impact on the decay heat removal key safety function while in cold shutdown.

Enforcement Action: This violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Enforcement Discretion Enforcement Action EA-20-096: Items Non-Conforming to Design for Tornado Missile Protection 71153

Description:

During evaluation of protection for TS equipment from the damaging effects of a tornado generated missile in response to Regulatory Information Summary 2015-06, Tornado Missile Protection, Dominion Energy determined that non-conforming conditions with respect to design existed for multiple systems, such that a tornado-generated missile could strike resulting in a substantive adverse effect upon safety across both units. The affected locations were component cooling water piping for the A spent fuel cooling water system heat exchanger; component cooling water pump discharge piping; emergency service water pumps and fuel oil supply tank; service water supply valves to the river make-up pump; and auxiliary feedwater pump suction and discharge piping. The licensee first informed the NRC of this issue in EN#54437 dated December 11, 2019.

Corrective Actions: In accordance with the guidance in Regulatory Issues Summary 2015-06, Tornado Missile Protection, and EGM 15-002, Enforcement Discretion for Tornado Generated Missile Protection Non-Compliance, Revision 1, Dominion Energy implemented compensatory measures to maintain the equipment in a non-conforming but operable condition. These actions included verifying that procedures, training, and equipment were in place to take appropriate action in the event of a tornado watch or warning and establishing a heightened level of awareness and preparedness to tornado missile vulnerabilities.

To restore full compliance, Dominion Energy evaluated the vulnerabilities utilizing approved methodologies in accordance with Timely Resolution of Issues Related to Tornado-Missile Protection Supplemental Information (ML20015A299) dated February 7, 2020, as documented in ETE-SU-2019-0065 and associated revisions to the updated final safety analysis report delineated in SPS-UCR-2019-010. These actions were completed per the timeline established in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum 15-002, Revision 1.

Corrective Action References: CR1137725, CA7801866

Enforcement:

Significance/Severity: A risk evaluation was performed, and the issue was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green).

Violation: A finding and an associated violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, was identified due to a non-conformance with tornado missile protection as described in Chapter 15 of the Surry Power Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. This condition also resulted in violations of Technical Specifications 3.0.1 for component cooling water and service water systems and 3.6.F.3 and 3.6.I.2 for auxiliary feedwater systems.

Basis for Discretion: The NRC exercised enforcement discretion in accordance with Section 2.3.9 of the NRC Enforcement Policy and is not issuing enforcement action because this finding and violation was identified during the discretion period covered by Enforcement Guidance Memorandum 15-002, Enforcement Discretion for Tornado Missile Protection Non-compliance, Revision 1 and because Dominion Energy has implemented appropriate compensatory measures.

The disposition of this violation closes LER 05000280, 281/2019-002-00, Items Non-Conforming to Design for Tornado Missile Protection.
