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 performed plant status activities described in IMC 2515 Appendix D, Plant Status and conducted routine reviews using IP 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess Exelons performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. | |||

Minor Violation 71152 Follow | Minor Violation 71152 Follow-up of Selected Issues Minor Violation: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65 (a)(2) allows safety system structure and components to not be monitored under 10 CFR 50 (a)(1), if an adequate demonstration that system performance is being maintained through effective maintenance is provided. In order to demonstrate this, Maintenance Rule availability performance criteria and reliability performance criteria are established and selected in accordance with Exelon procedure ER-AA-310-1003, Maintenance Rule - Performance Criteria Selection. Section 4.4, Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, Attachment 3, Process for Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, contains a process to be used in which a criteria greater than or equal to two is acceptable with documentation of past performance. Contrary to the above, two maintenance rule systems contained criteria greater than or equal to two without documentation of past performance in the Basis and Justification for Criteria Values section of the maintenance rule basis document. Thus, an adequate technical basis was not documented for a required 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) performance criteria in accordance with Exelons procedures. | ||

Screening: The inspectors independently evaluated the deficiency for significance in accordance with the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued December 31, 2017, and Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, issued August 11, 2009. | |||
The inspectors determined that not documenting the past performance, which was used to determine the reliability criteria, was a deficiency of minor significance since the criteria selected did not require a maintenance rule a(1) evaluation. As a result it is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs enforcement policy. This issue was captured in Exelons Corrective Action Program as AR 04126470 and 02658070. | |||

- (1) Unplanned plant shutdown March 8 to 9, 2018, due to a current transformer failure on the main generator outgoing power line.
INSPECTION RESULTS
Minor Violation 71152 Follow-up of Selected Issues Minor Violation: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65 (a)(2) allows safety system structure and components to not be monitored under 10 CFR 50 (a)(1), if an adequate demonstration that system performance is being maintained through effective maintenance is provided. In order to demonstrate this, Maintenance Rule availability performance criteria and reliability performance criteria are established and selected in accordance with Exelon procedure ER-AA-310-1003, Maintenance Rule - Performance Criteria Selection. Section 4.4, Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, Attachment 3, Process for Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, contains a process to be used in which a criteria greater than or equal to two is acceptable with documentation of past performance. Contrary to the above, two maintenance rule systems contained criteria greater than or equal to two without documentation of past performance in the Basis and Justification for Criteria Values section of the maintenance rule basis document. Thus, an adequate technical basis was not documented for a required 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) performance criteria in accordance with Exelons procedures.
Screening: The inspectors independently evaluated the deficiency for significance in accordance with the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued December 31, 2017, and Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, issued August 11, 2009.
The inspectors determined that not documenting the past performance, which was used to determine the reliability criteria, was a deficiency of minor significance since the criteria selected did not require a maintenance rule a(1) evaluation. As a result it is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs enforcement policy. This issue was captured in Exelons Corrective Action Program as AR 04126470 and 02658070.
Enforcement:
This failure to comply with procedure ER-AA-310-1003, Revision 5, constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
- On March 22, 2018, the inspectors presented the inspection results related to IP 71124.02 to Mr. William Carsky, Site Vice President, and other members of the Ginna staff.
- On April 16, 2018, the inspectors presented the integrated quarterly resident inspector report inspection results to Mr. William Carsky, Site Vice President and other members of the Ginna staff.

INSPECTION RESULTS
Minor Violation
71152 Follow-up
of Selected
Issues
Minor Violation: Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.65 (a)(2) allows
safety system structure and components to not be monitored under 10 CFR 50 (a)(1), if an
adequate demonstration that system performance is being maintained through effective
maintenance is provided. In order to demonstrate this, Maintenance Rule availability
performance criteria and reliability performance criteria are established and selected in
accordance with Exelon procedure ER-AA-310-1003, Maintenance Rule - Performance
Criteria Selection. Section 4.4, Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, Attachment 3,
Process for Selecting Reliability Performance Criteria, contains a process to be used in
which a criteria greater than or equal to two is acceptable with documentation of past
performance. Contrary to the above, two maintenance rule systems contained criteria greater
than or equal to two without documentation of past performance in the Basis and Justification
for Criteria Values section of the maintenance rule basis document. Thus, an adequate
technical basis was not documented for a required 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) performance criteria
in accordance with Exelons procedures.
Screening: The inspectors independently evaluated the deficiency for significance in
accordance with the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, issued
December 31, 2017, and Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, issued August 11, 2009.
The inspectors determined that not documenting the past performance, which was used to
determine the reliability criteria, was a deficiency of minor significance since the criteria
selected did not require a maintenance rule a(1) evaluation. As a result it is not subject to
enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs enforcement policy. This issue was
captured in Exelons Corrective Action Program as AR 04126470 and 02658070.
Enforcement: This failure to comply with procedure ER-AA-310-1003, Revision 5, constitutes
a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
