SUBJECT:

LIMERICK GENERATING STATION - DESIGN BASES ASSURANCE INSPECTION (TEAMS) REPORT 05000352/2018010 AND 05000353/2018010

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On August 2, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the onsite portion of an inspection at Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. On August 2, 2018, the NRC inspectors discussed the preliminary results of this inspection with Mr. Frank Sturniolo, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff. After additional review of specific items, the team discussed the final results of this inspection with Mr. Rick Libra, Site Vice President, and other Exelon staff on August 30, 2018. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

NRC inspectors did not identify any finding or violation of more than minor significance.

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 the NRCs Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring Exelons performance at

Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 by conducting a design bases assurance inspection 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.

No findings or more-than-minor violations were identified.

INSPECTION SCOPES

This inspection was conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedure in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved inspection procedures 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 inspection procedure requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The team 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.

REACTOR SAFETY

===71111.21M - Design Bases Assurance Inspection (Teams)

The team evaluated the following components, permanent modifications, and operating experience during the weeks of July 16, 2018, and July 30, 2018.

For the components, the team reviewed the attributes listed in Inspection Procedure 71111.21M, Appendix A, Component Review Attributes, such as those listed below.

Specifically, the team evaluated these attributes as per 71111.21M, Appendix B, Component Design Review Considerations and 71111.21M, Appendix C, Component Walkdown Considerations.

INSPECTION RESULTS

Observations and Minor Violations 71111.21M Problem Identification and Resolution Area Review: The team identified observations/minor violations during their review of the effectiveness of corrective actions taken by Exelon associated with an item from a previous component design bases inspection. In particular, the team reviewed Exelons actions for non-cited violation (NCV) 05000352 &

05000353/2015-01.

The NCV was related to non-conservative values in technical specifications (TSs) associated with the emergency diesel generators (EDGs), both for EDG voltage and frequency. The 2015 report also documented the applicability of NRC Administrative Letter 98-10, Dispositioning of TSs that are Insufficient to Assure Plant Safety, which discussed short term compensatory measures to be followed by a TS amendment request. Following the prior inspection, Exelon evaluated and confirmed the appropriate voltage and frequency values to be used in EDG surveillance procedures (as compensatory measures). They also developed a corrective action assignment to process a TS amendment to correct the TS values and ensure the voltage and frequency values are consistent with the design and licensing bases and with surveillance procedure acceptance criteria (IR 1402947, Assign #2).

WCAP-17308-NP, Treatment of Diesel Generator Technical Specification Frequency and Voltage Tolerances, was developed to evaluate this issue for several affected nuclear plants and was submitted to the NRC for review. The NRC staff subsequently issued a safety evaluation in a letter dated April 17, 2017, in which the NRC documented general agreement with the methodology prescribed in WCAP-17308-NP.

During this inspection, the team reviewed the details and status of Exelons corrective actions.

Relative to EDG voltage, the TSs specified a lower limit of 4160 Vac; however, Exelons existing analysis determined the lower EDG voltage limit should be 4235 Vac. Exelon determined that this higher voltage value was necessary in order to ensure full EDG operability and qualification when considering a specific criteria (voltage drop during the loading sequence) as per NRC Regulatory Guide 1.9, Application and Testing of Safety-Related Diesel Generators in Nuclear Power Plants. The team determined that there was not an operability concern because Exelon determined that, although the voltage drop during the starting of the largest electrical load was slightly below the Regulatory Guide 1.9 value, all required loads would, in fact, successfully start and run as designed when started at the 4160 Vac level. Further, the EDG voltage regulators are designed and calibrated to operate the EDGs at 4235 Vac. Notwithstanding, the team identified that the associated EDG surveillance procedures did not contain the higher, administrative limit of 4235 Vac as an acceptance criterion (4160 Vac was specified). The team reviewed this issue using Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined that the use of non-conservative acceptance criterion was a minor procedure violation because the EDGs were controlled and operated to maintain voltage at 4235 Vac (and 4160 Vac does not render the EDGs inoperable), and EDG reliability or availability were not adversely affected. Exelon entered this minor violation in their corrective action program as IR 4164579 to document and correct this deficiency.

For EDG frequency, the TSs allowed an acceptance band (58.8 - 61.2 Hertz), which is a range typical of EDG transient loading conditions. However, as described in WCAP-17308-NP, and as determined by Exelon engineering staff, a more narrow band (59.9 - 60.2 Hertz)is the appropriate operating range for steady state EDG operation. Exelon has appropriately maintained the narrow band as the acceptance criteria in the associated EDG surveillance procedures (compensatory action until TSs are revised). However, during this inspection, the team identified that in 2016, Exelon had slightly widened the acceptable band a one-tenth hertz to 59.8 - 60.2 Hertz. Further review by the team identified that this change was not properly evaluated in accordance with Exelons procedure change process. In particular, the procedure change received a less rigorous review than a 10 CFR 50.59 screen would have provided; and the team concluded that this screen should have been performed. In response, Exelon evaluated past surveillance results and analyzed the lower frequency value of 59.8 Hertz, and determined there to be no adverse consequence at 59.8 Hertz. The team reviewed Exelons analysis and similarly concluded that there was no adverse safety impact.

The team reviewed this issue using Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined that the improper procedure change was a minor procedure violation because there were no adverse consequences and EDG reliability or availability were not adversely affected. Exelon entered this minor violation in there corrective action program as IR 4160819 and IR 4161542 to document and correct this deficiency.

At the conclusion of the inspection, Exelon discussed their plans to submit to the NRC the appropriate TS changes associated with EDG voltage and frequency values in accordance with the guidance documented in NRC Administrative Letter 98-10.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The team verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On August 2, 2018, the team presented the Design Bases Assurance Inspection (Teams)preliminary results to Mr. Frank Sturniolo, Plant Manager, and other members of Exelon staff. The team subsequently discussed the final results of this inspection with Mr. Rick Libra, Site Vice President, and other Exelon staff on August 30, 2018.
