SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION - NRC INTEGRATED

INSPECTION REPORT 05000445/2007002 AND 05000446/2007002

Dear Mr. Blevins:

On March 23, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection

at your Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, facility. The enclosed integrated

inspection report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on March 29, 2007,

with Mr. M. Lucas and other members of your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they related to safety and

compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your

licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and

interviewed personnel.

The report documents one NRC identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). The

finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the

very low safety significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the

NRC is treating the finding as a noncited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the

Enforcement Policy. If you contest any NCV in this 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 200555-

0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400,

Arlington, Texas 76011-4005; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Comanche

Peak Steam Electric Station.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its

enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available electronically for public inspection

in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component

of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000445/2007002, 05000446/2007002; 01/01/2007-03/23/2007; Comanche Peak Steam

Electric Station, Units 1 and 2; Surveillance Testing.

This report covered a 3-month period of inspection by two resident inspectors, three Operations

Engineers, four Engineering Branch Inspectors, and an Emergency Preparedness Inspector.

One Green noncited violation was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by

their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance

Determination Process. Findings for which the significance determination process does not

apply may be Green or may be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The

NRC's 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.

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green. An NRC identified noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.e was

identified for the failure to establish, implement and maintain written procedures for the

inservice testing program. STA-711, Inservice Testing Program for Pumps and Valves

required a new set of reference values be determined following pump replacement and

all subsequent test results be compared to the new reference values. Station Service

Water Pump 2-02 was declared operable on October 19, 2006, following pump

replacement and, although the new pumps performance was fully acceptable, the

inservice testing requirements to establish new reference values were not performed

and subsequent test results were not compared to the new reference values. On

March 13, 2007, the licensee provided technical justification for the operability of Station

Service Water Pump 2-02, based, in part, on comparison of the new pump performance

with the design flow requirements.

This violation is more than minor because it resulted in a condition where there was a

reasonable doubt of the operability of the pump, and programmatic deficiencies were

identified in the Inservice Testing Program that could lead to significant errors if not

corrected. The violation affected the mitigation system cornerstone objective to ensure

the capability of the station service water system and the attribute of human

performance. The finding has very low safety significance because the pump was

always fully capable of performing its safety function. The cause of the finding has a

crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance with a resources component, in

that, the licensee failed to ensure complete, accurate and up-to-date procedures were

available and adequate to implement the inservice testing program (Section 1R22).

B.

Licensee Identified Violations

None.

The inspectors reviewed six safety evaluations performed by the licensee since the last

NRC inspection of this area at CPSES. The evaluations were reviewed to verify that

licensee personnel had appropriately considered the conditions under which the

licensee may make changes to the facility or procedures or conduct tests or

experiments without prior NRC approval. The inspectors reviewed three

licensee-performed applicability determinations and 15 screenings, in which licensee

personnel determined that evaluations were not required, to ensure that the exclusion of

a full evaluation was consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59. Evaluations,

screenings, and applicability determinations reviewed are listed in the attachment to this

report.

The inspectors reviewed and evaluated a sample of recent licensee condition reports to

determine whether the licensee had identified problems related to 50.59 evaluations,

entered them into the corrective action program, and resolved technical concerns and

regulatory requirements. The reviewed condition reports (SMART FORMS) are

identified in the Attachment.

The inspection procedure specifies that the inspectors review a minimum sample of

six licensee safety evaluations and 12 applicability determinations and screenings

(combined). The inspectors completed a review of six licensee safety evaluations and a

combination of 18 applicability determinations and screenings.

Licensed Operator Requalification (71111.11)

.1

Biennial Inspection (71111.11B)

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors: (1) evaluated examination security measures and procedures for

compliance with 10 CFR 55.49; (2) evaluated the licensees sample plan for the written

examinations for compliance with 10 CFR 55.59 and NUREG-1021, as referenced in the

facility requalification program procedures; and (3) evaluated maintenance of license

conditions for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53 by review of facility records (medical and

administrative), procedures, and tracking systems for licensed operator training,

qualification, and watchstanding. In addition, the inspectors reviewed remedial training

and examinations for examination failures for compliance with facility procedures and

responsiveness to address areas failed. The inspectors also verified that on-shift

operators requiring prescription lenses for self-containment breathing apparatus (SCBA)

maintained their lenses secured in the control room.

Furthermore, the inspectors (1) interviewed seven personnel (four operators, two

instructors/evaluators, and a training supervisor) regarding the policies and practices for

administering examinations; (2) observed the administration of two dynamic simulator

scenarios to two requalification crews by facility evaluators, including an engineering

department manager, who participated in the crew and individual evaluations; and

(3) observed four facility evaluators administer five job performance measures (JPM),

including two in the control room simulator in a dynamic mode, and three in the plant

under simulated conditions. Each JPM was observed being performed by at least two

requalification candidates.

The inspectors also reviewed the biennial written examinations including two

remediation written examinations for a reactor operator and a senior reactor operator.

The inspectors verified question level of difficulty, knowledge level, and overlap between

successive exams and remediation exams. Additionally, quality audits and training self-

assessments, and training management meeting minutes were reviewed to ascertain

the health of their training feedback processes.

Of the 77 licensed operators taking the biennial examinations, 1 staff license failed a

JPM and 1 reactor operator and 1 senior reactor operator failed the written examination.

The inspectors also reviewed the remediation process for one individual, a JPM failure.

The inspectors also reviewed the results of the annual licensed operator requalification

operating examinations for 2006 and 2007. The results of the examinations were also

reviewed to assess the licensees appraisal of operator performance and the feedback

of that performance analysis to the requalification training program. Inspectors also

observed the examination security maintenance during the examination week.

.2

Resident Inspector Quarterly Review (71111.11Q)

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed a licensed operator requalification training scenario in the

control room simulator on February 16, 2007. The scenario began with a discussion of

the Integrated Plant Operations (IPO) procedure concerning reduced inventory, changes

involving the temporary reactor vessel head, and possible loss of reactor coolant

system (RCS) heat removal. The operations crew briefed the action of reducing RCS

inventory to 56 inches in accordance with IPO-010A. A loss of the Train B residual heat

removal (RHR) pump event occurred during the inventory reduction. Then the Train A

RHR pump began to experience erratic current and flow readings. The Train A pump

was manually secured. Abnormal condition procedure ABN-104 was entered due the

loss of the RHR system at reduced inventory. Inventory continued to decline, due to an

RCS leak, as operators began to reestablish heat removal. The scenario was

terminated after operators established RCS hot leg injection via the safety injection

pumps prior to RCS temperature reaching 212 degrees.

Simulator observations included formality and clarity of communications, group

dynamics, the conduct of operations, procedure usage, command and control, and

activities associated with the emergency plan. The inspectors also verified that

evaluators and operators were identifying crew performance problems as applicable.

On February 14, 2007, the inspectors also observed a requalification classroom training

session regarding the switchyard system changes, system operation, as well as industry

events. On February 16, 2007, the inspectors observed classroom training regarding

the upcoming Unit 1, Cycle 13 reactor core characteristics following steam generator

replacement.

The inspectors completed one sample.

b.

Findings

Introduction: A Green NRC identified noncited violation of TS 5.4.1.e was identified for

the failure to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures for the inservice

testing program. Station Administration Procedure (STA) STA-711, Inservice Testing

Program for Pumps and Valves required a new set of reference values be determined

following pump replacement and all subsequent test results be compared to the new

reference values. Station Service Water Pump 2-02 was declared operable on October

19, 2006, following pump replacement and, although the new pumps performance was

fully acceptable, the inservice testing requirements to establish new reference values

were not performed. Subsequent surveillance tests were performed with the old

reference value as the basis for the test acceptance criterion which was not in

accordance with the ASME code.

Description: On February 21, 2007, surveillance testing of SSWP 2-02 was performed

in accordance with OPT-207B, Service Water System, Revision 12, Section 8.3, and

Data Sheet OPT-207B-5, SSWP 2-02 Data Sheet, Revision 13, to satisfy the quarterly

pump performance surveillance. The measured pump flow of 12,996 gallons per

minute (gpm) did not meet the acceptance criterion (new reference value of 16,761

gpm). The pump was declared inoperable and all appropriate actions were taken,

including reviewing past pump performance. The licensee determined that the pump

had met the surveillance test criterion (old reference value of 13,045 gpm) when last

performed on November 27, 2006, and that the surveillance procedure Data Sheet

OPT-207B-5 had been revised on December 1, 2006, changing to the new reference

value. The licensee issued Revision 14 to the data sheet using the Revision 12

acceptance criterion (i.e., old reference values), evaluated the test results against this

criterion and declared the pump operable.

Enclosure

-16-

During Unit 2 refueling outage 2RF09 the SSWP 2-02 had been replaced. On

October 18, 2006, the pump was flow tested in accordance with Equipment Test

Procedure (ETP) ETP-215B, Service Water Pump Test, Revision 2, for the purpose of

obtaining reference values for pump performance (flow, developed pump head, and

vibrations). However, the test did not comply with the applicable ASME OMa

Code-1999 Addenda to ASME OM Code - 1998, Code for Operation and Maintenance

of Nuclear Power Plants which required at least 5 points to be measured after pump

conditions are as stable as the system permits (pump shall be run at least 2 minutes at

each point). Instead, ETP-215B had collected pump data with an automated data

acquisition system as the discharge valve opened on pump start vice throttling to

establish distinct, stable flow conditions. The ETP-215B also collected data at a flow

rate of approximately 16,000 gpm with the intent of using this for the new reference

value during subsequent surveillance testing.

On October 19, 2006, EVAL-2006-003466-02-00 was performed to determine the

operational readiness of the pump based on the results of the ETP-215B. SSWP 2-02

was declared operable based on a comparison of the pump start data with the pump

curve in the Design Basis Document DBD-ME-233, Station Service Water System,

Revision 16, and a comparison of the pump full flow data from ETP-215B to the DBD

design flow of 15,556 gpm. EVAL-2006-003466-02-00 did not establish a new

reference value nor verify whether the previous reference value in the surveillance

procedure was still valid. The DBD design flow value of 15,556 gpm was subsequently

determined to be in error, the actual value should have been 16,456 gpm.

On November 8, 2006, EVAL-2006-003466-01-00 was performed to rebaseline the

SSWP 2-02 based on the ETP-215B results and establish a new reference value for

surveillance procedure OPT-207B, Service Water System. An action item was created

to incorporate the new reference value into the procedure, with a due date of

December 25, 2006. In this evaluation, the full flow value of 16,761 gpm was incorrectly

provided as the reference value (for Section 8.3 of the OPT-207B) which was intended

to be approximately 16,000 gpm. Furthermore, Section 8.3 established a system

configuration with pump developed head of approximately 90 psid, which corresponds to

the previous reference value for a flow of approximately 13,000 gpm. It was not

communicated to the procedure writers that the new reference value for a flow of

16,000 gpm (or 16,761 gpm) required a different system configuration for Section 8.3.

On November 27, 2006, OPT-207B was performed to satisfy the routine quarterly

surveillance requirement. OPT-207B had not yet been revised with the new reference

value and the SSWP 2-02 was declared operable based on the previous reference

value. On December 1, 2006, OPT-207B was revised to incorporate the new reference

value from EVAL-2006-003466-01-00. Section 8.3 of the procedure still established

system conditions of pump developed head of approximately 90 psid, but with a flow

rate (16,761 gpm) that was more appropriate for a developed head of approximately

57 psid. On February 21, 2007, when the new reference values were used for the first

time, SSWP 2-02 failed to satisfy the test acceptance criterion.

On February 22, 2007, a plant event review committee (PERC) meeting was held to

determine the cause of SSWP 2-02 failing to meet the acceptance criterion of Data

Sheet OPT-207B-5, Revision 13. Although the PERC came to the conclusion that the

Enclosure

-17-

data sheet was incorrect, other related issues remained unresolved, including the

inspectors concerns about the operability of SSWP 2-02 and the basis for determining

that the pump was operable.

On February 28, 2007, another PERC was held to address these issues and to identify

other contributing causes of the inadequate surveillance Procedure OPT-207B. On

March 13, 2007, EVAL-2007-000556-01-02 provided the technical justification for the

operability of SSWP 2-02, based on comparison of the new pump performance obtained

from ETP-215B and both surveillance tests with the correct design flow requirement of

16,456 gpm at full flow, as well as the DBD pump curve and the previous pump

performance. This evaluation also documented the failure to comply with the ASME

Code following the pump replacement, in that an adequate baseline pump test had not

been performed, nor was a new reference value determined. ETP-215B has been

revised to incorporate the ASME requirements and will be performed at the next

available work window. New reference values and limits will be determined and

incorporated into OPT-207B.

Analysis: The performance deficiency was the failure to implement STA-711 Inservice

Testing Program for Pumps and Valves, which required (1) new reference values be

determined by the test method in the ASME OM Code and (2) the new reference valves

be used for all subsequent testing. The inspectors determined that the finding is more

than minor because it affected the mitigation system cornerstone attribute of human

performance (pre-event) and objective to ensure the capability of the SSW system to

respond to initiating events with sufficient flow to prevent core damage. This finding

does not affect the initiating event of loss of service water because the potential

consequence is not a loss of flow but degraded flow. Degraded flow would not

challenge the SSW systems ability to provide operational cooling to the component

cooling water system. This finding is also similar to Examples 3.j and 3.k of Appendix E

of IMC-0612, in that it is not minor because it resulted in a condition where there was

now a reasonable doubt on the operability of the SSWP 2-02, and programmatic

deficiencies were identified in the implementation of the Inservice Testing Program that

could lead to worse errors if not corrected. The significance of the finding is very low

(Green) because the SSWP 2-02 was always fully capable of performing its safety

function. The finding was screened as Green in Phase 1 of the significance

determination process because it did not involve an actual loss of any safety function,

nor contributed to external event initiated core damage accident sequences (i.e.,

initiated by seismic, flooding, or severe weather event).

The finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance with a

resources component, in that, the licensee failed to ensure complete, accurate and

up-to-date procedures were available and adequate to ensure nuclear safety.

Specifically, ETP-215B, Service Water Pump Test, Revision 2 did not comply with the

ASME Code requirements for testing following pump repair, OPT-207B, Service Water

System, Revision 12 with Data Sheet OPT-207B-5 R-13 was not adequate for the

quarterly surveillance test, and no procedure ensured the new reference values were

incorporated into surveillance procedures prior to their use.

Enforcement: Technical Specification 5.4.1.e requires written procedures be

established and implemented for the Inservice Testing Program. Station Administrative

Enclosure

-18-

Procedure STA-711, Inservice Testing Program for Pumps and Valves, Revision 6,

Section 6.3.3 required that when a reference value or set of reference values may have

been affected by repair, replacement, or routine maintenance of a pump, the

requirements of ASME OM Code - 1998, Code for Operation and Maintenance of

Nuclear Power Plants, Section ISTB-3310 shall be met. ASME OMa Code - 1999

Addenda to ASME OM Code, Section ISTB-3310 required a new reference value or set

of values shall be determined in accordance with ISTB-3300, or the previous value

reconfirmed by a comprehensive or Group A test run before declaring the pump

operable. Deviations between the previous and new set of reference values shall be

evaluated, and verification that the new values represent acceptable pump operation

shall be placed in the record of tests. The ASME OM Code also required all subsequent

test results shall be compared to new reference values. Contrary to the above,

SSWP 2-02 was declared operable on October 19, 2006, without determining the

required new reference values in accordance with the required test method.

Subsequent surveillance test results were compared to the previous reference values

without first reconfirming their validity. This violation was entered into the licensees

corrective action program as SMF-2007-000556-00. Since this violation is of very low

safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program, it is being

treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement

Policy (NCV 05000446/2007002-01, Failure to Perform Required Inservice Testing

Following Pump Replacement).

4OA3 Event Follow-up (71153)

.1

(Closed) LER 05000446/2006-002 Reactor Trip Due to a Secondary Transient Initiated

During Load Rejection Testing

On October 27, 2006, Unit 2 was in Mode 1 at 28 percent power performing planned

25 MWe load reject tests following digital modifications to the protection circuitry of the

turbine generator. The third 25 MWe swing resulted in a divergent oscillation in the

secondary system. Operators identified the oscillations and took manual control of the

feedwater system, but the level in Steam Generator 2-02 reached the HI-HI setpoint.

The HI-HI level caused a trip of the main turbine and the isolation of main feedwater.

The operators manually tripped the Unit 2 reactor. The licensee determined that there

was enough information gathered to declare testing of the turbine generator digital

upgrade was complete. The licensees corrective actions included: (1) modifying the

procedure for sequencing secondary system pumps, (2) changing gain settings for the

main feedwater pump speed controller back to the previous settings, which had been

changed at 100 percent power to help maintain a tighter feedwater flow rate band and

thus operate closer and more consistently at 100 percent power, and (3) implementing

lessons learned training. More specific event details can be found in Section 4OA3,

Event Followup, of Inspection Report 2006-005. The LER was reviewed by the

inspectors and no findings of significance were identified and no violations of NRC

requirements occurred. The licensee documented the event in their corrective action

program in SMF-2006-003632-00. This LER is closed.

(Closed) LER 05000446/2006-003 Unit 2 Reactor Trip Due to Feedwater Regulating

Valve Malfunction

On October 29, 2006, Unit 2 was in Mode 1 at 80 percent power and holding for Xenon

stabilization, when a manual reactor trip was initiated due to Steam Generator 2-03 level

lowering uncontrollably. The licensee investigated and determined that Solenoid

Valve SV-2 associated with Feedwater Regulating Control Valve 2-FCV-530, had a

loose wire. The loss of continuity resulted in the loss of air between the valve positioner

and the valve operator diaphragm, causing the flow control valve to fail closed. The

licensee was able to duplicated the failure in the valve workshop. Corrective actions

included: (1) reviewing and checking the other Unit 2 feedwater regulating control valves

on Unit 2 prior to restart, (2) inspecting Unit 1 feedwater regulating control valves, and

(3) modifying the maintenance procedure to ensure that the wires in the terminal blocks

are tight. More specific details can be found in Section 4OA3.2, Event Followup, of

Inspection Report 2006-005. The LER was reviewed by the inspectors and no findings

of significance were identified and no violations of NRC requirements occurred. The

licensee documented the event in the corrective action program as

SMF-2006-003660-00. This LER is closed.
