SUMMARY
IR 05000219/2015001; 01/01/2015 03/31/2015; Exelon Energy Company, LLC, Oyster Creek Generating Station; Post Maintenance Testing, Problem Identification and Resolution, Follow-Up of Events This report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. Inspectors identified one Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) and two findings of very low safety significance (Green), which were NCVs. The significance of most findings are indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White, Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, -cutting aspects are -All viocommercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-Revision 5.
Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity
Greentest requirements had been satisfied. Specifically, Exelon did not perform the proper post maintenance test procedure to assure that the requirements of Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 were satisfied following installation of a temporary modification to secondary containment. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program for resolution as issue report (IR) 2440643. Corrective actions include revising the process to perform the correct post maintenance test to ensure Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 is met. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the configuration control (Standby Gas Trains) attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors June 19, 2012, and IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, Significance Determination Process: Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of secondary containment, the inspectors were required to further assess the finding using May 6, 2004. The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) because the decay heat values were low, given that the unit had been shut down for approximately three days, and reactor water level was greater than that required for movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the reactor pressure vessel. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, because Exelon personnel did not perform the post maintenance test specified by the work order. [H.8] (Section 1R19) Severitv Level lV. The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.9(a) in that Exelon did not provide complete information in reports submitted per 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73. Specifically, a licensee event report (LER) submitted on November 18, 2014, did not discuss a separate, partially opened secondary containment door that was discovered during the same time frame, which could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of secondary containment, and therefore was required to be discussed in the original LER. Exelon entered this issue into their corrective action program as IR 2440641. Planned corrective actions include revising the original LER to add a discussion of the partially opened secondary containment door. The inspectors determined that not providing a complete report in accordance with 10 CFR 5and correct and should have been prevented. Because the issue had the potential to affect ors evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. In accordance with Section 2.2.2.d of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspectors determined that the performance deficiency identified with the reporting aspect of the event is a Severity Level IV violation because it is of more than minor concern with relatively inappreciable potential safety significance and is related to findings that were determined to be more than minor issues. In accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, this issue was not assigned a cross-cutting aspect. (Section 4OA3)
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, lure to develop an adequate post Specifically, the corrective maintenance work performed on April 16, 2013, did not correct the cause of the failure and Exelon did not perform an adequate post maintenance test to verify conditions had been corrected. As a result, the emergency service water system was returned to service even though it did not meet all the requirements for operability. The issue was not identified and resolved until a subsequent surveillance test on April 17, 2013, which identified a failed breaker. Exelon entered this issue into their corrective action program (IR 2471069). Planned corrective actions include revising work order activities to specify the correct post maintenance test. This performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, and adversely affected its objective to ensure the availability and reliability of the systems that respond failing to perform its function during the subsequent surveillance testing on April 17, 2013. Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-concluded that this finding did not represent an actual loss of function of the emergency service water system for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time (15 days). Therefore, the inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance (Green). The inspectors determined that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect executing of work activities did not include documented instructions for performing an adequate post maintenance test. [H.5] (Section 4OA2)
Other Findings
Two violations of very low safety significance that were identified by Exelon were reviewed by the inspectors. Corrective actions taken or planned by Exelon have been entered into Exeare listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, quately evaluate test results to assure that test requirements had been satisfied. Specifically, Exelon did not perform the proper post maintenance test procedure to assure that the requirements of Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 were satisfied following installation of a temporary modification to secondary containment.
Description.
On September 16, 2014, Exelon installed a temporary modification to the trunnion room in accordance with work order R2211902. The purpose of the temporary modification was to move the secondary containment boundary from the trunnion room door to the temporary fittings on drain lines and ventilation ducts in the trunnion room. refueling outages to allow technicians to keep the trunnion room door open to run temporary services required for conducting maintenance. To ensure that the temporary modification maintains the integrity of the secondary containment boundary, Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 requires that testing be performed as stated: door open after the secondary containment boundary has been moved to the penetrations inside the trunnion room and the trunnion room is isolated from the secondary containment in support of outage activities, Standby Gas Treatment System testing shall be performed to demonstrate the capability to maintain a 1/4 inch of water vacuum under calm wind conditions with a Standby Gas Treatment System Filter train On September 18, 2014, Exelon personnel recorded the completion of the post maintenance test for the installation of the temporary modification completed under work order R2211902. R2211902, activity 7, specified performing Exelon procedure temporary modification was installed correctly and met the requirements of Technical Specification 4.5.G.3.
Also, scheduled for completion on September 18, 2014, was work order R2244647, -Minute Run System by testing the mechanical response of the system fans and valves. This test does not set conditions or record data to verify proper differential pressure or system flow rates as required by Technical Specification 4.5.G.3. The inspectors determined operators should have performed procedure 651.4.001, which would have satisfied Technical Specification 4.5.G.3.
The inspectors reviewed work orders, as well as the operations and the outage control center logs for September 18, 2014. The inspectors determined that Exelon only completed procedure 651.4.002, and that reactor building ventilation had not been secured on September 18, 2014, as required by Surveillance Procedure 651.4.001 (R2211902). The inspectors noted that documentation in work order R2211902 only indicated that the door to the trunnion room was opened while the standby gas treatment system was operating, and that reactor building differential pressure remained negative. Exelon did not record actual values for reactor building differential pressure and standby gas treatment system flow rate, which would have been used to satisfy the requirements of Technical Specification 4.5.G.3. Exelon entered the issue into their corrective action program as IR 2440643. Corrective actions include revising the process to perform the correct post maintenance test to ensure Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 is met.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that not documenting and adequately evaluating test results to assure that test requirements have been satisfied in accordance with because it is associated with the configuration control (Standby Gas Trains) attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the post maintenance test conducted did not assure that the standby gas treatment system could have drawn 0.25 inch of water vacuum as required by Technical Specification 4.5.G.3.
of Operations Significance Determination Process: Phase 1 Initial Screening and ability to close or isolate secondary containment, the inspectors further assessed the safety significance (Green) because the decay heat values were low, given that the unit had been shut down for approximately 3 days, and reactor water level was greater than that required for movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the reactor pressure vessel. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Procedure Adherence because Exelon personnel did not perform the post maintenance test specified by the work order. [H.8]
Enforcement.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterthat test results shall be documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied. Contrary to the above, on September 18, 2014, Exelon did not adequately document and evaluate the results of the post maintenance test data for the temporary modification in the trunnion room to assure that the test requirements satisfied Technical Specification requirement 4.5.G.3. Specifically, Exelon did not perform the required post maintenance test specified by the work order for installation of a temporary modification to the secondary containment and the post maintenance test that was performed did not demonstrate that the test results met the requirements of Technical Specification 4.5.G.3. Because this issue is of very low safety significance (Green) and Exelon entered this issue into their corrective action program as IR 2440643, this finding is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000219/2015001-01, Post Maintenance Test Results were not Evaluated to Assure that Technical Specifications Requirements were Satisfied)
1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities

b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R22 Surveillance Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed performance of surveillance tests and/or reviewed test data of selected risk-significant structures, systems, and components to assess whether test results satisfied technical specifications, the UFSAR, and Exelon procedure requirements. The inspectors verified that test acceptance criteria were clear, tests demonstrated operational readiness and were consistent with design documentation, test instrumentation had current calibrations and the range and accuracy for the application, tests were performed as written, and applicable test prerequisites were satisfied. Upon test completion, the inspectors considered whether the test results supported that equipment was capable of performing the required safety functions.
The inspectors reviewed the following surveillance tests: -service test on January 6, 2015 Emergency diesel generator No. 1 battery surveillance test on January 12, 2015 Emergency diesel generator No. 2 load test on January 29, 2015 Transverse in core probe ball valve primary containment isolation valve test on February 3, 2015 Reactor building to torus vacuum breaker test on February 18, 2015 Diesel driven fire pump No. 2 operability test on February 26, 2015 Emergency diesel generator No. 1 load test on March 2, 2015 Main steam isolation valve closure tests on March 24, 2015
b. Findings
No findings were identified. Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness 1EP4 Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes (IP 71114.04 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Exelon implemented various changes to the Oyster Creek Emergency Action Levels (EALs), Emergency Plan, and implementing procedures. Exelon had determined that, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3), any change made to the EALs, Emergency Plan, and its lower-tier implementing procedures, had not resulted in any reduction in effectiveness of the Plan, and that the revised Plan continued to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.
The inspectors performed an in-office review of all EAL and Emergency Plan changes submitted by Exelon as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), including the changes to lower-tier emergency plan implementing procedures, to evaluate for any potential reductions in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. This review by the inspectors was not documented in an NRC Safety Evaluation Report and does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety. The requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q) were used as reference criteria.
b. Findings

No findings were identified.
.2 Failures
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-evaluations and corrective actions associated with IR 1511787 and IR 1614019, regarding the failure of the emergency service water pump breakers to close. IR 1511787 documented the Spray/Emergency Service Water Operability and In- service water pump breaker failure to close immediate corrective actions included initiating work orders to troubleshoot the issues and understand the cause of the failures.
actions to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with these issues and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the x B. In addition, the inspectors reviewed documentation associated with this issue, interviewed engineering and maintenance personnel, and performed a visual inspection of the breaker.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, emergency service water pump breaker.
Description.
On April 15, 2013, the experienced mechanical binding while the breaker was being racked out in support of a tagging clearance for work on emergency service water system. IR 1502012 was written, which documented that the breaker closing spring did not discharge as it was being racked out of the cubicle, as expected. It was noted that the breaker trip latch crank pin was slightly bent and the breaker spring discharge linkage assembly appeared to be bound. The breaker was subsequently repaired under a corrective maintenance work order (C2020132). Exelon performed post maintenance testing on April 16, 2013, by starting and stopping the pump from the control room. The post maintenance testing did not include inspection of the breaker by racking it in and out to verify that the closing coil would properly de-energize. On April 17, 2013, during performance of the monthly in-service test surveillance and emergency service water system pump operability test, the control room operator atte service water pump breaker did not close on demand. IR1503270 was written, which documented that the breaker closing spring was found in a discharge state. Further visual inspection identified that the breaker was mechanically bound and the pivot arm was raised such that the breaker could not be removed from the switchgear cubicle. The failed breaker was replaced with a spare, and sent for forensic analysis. Exelon performed an equipment apparent cause evaluation for the April 17, 2013 failure, after receiving the results from the forensic analysis. The analysis revealed that: 1. The breaker spring discharge linkage assembly was binding 2. The discharge crank pin was deformed, and 3. The anti-pump relay coil was found to be fully degraded as the coil was burned up and the relay would not function As a result, the inspectors identified that Exelon did not correct the failure that occurred ance testing for the corrective maintenance work order was inadequate because it did not verify whether the breaker would experience further mechanical binding during its functional operations. The purpose of a post maintenance test is to provide assurance that a component and its associated subsystems are functional after completion of maintenance. The level of post maintenance testing performed should be appropriate for the scope of maintenance work performed. The post maintenance test performed for the corrective maintenance work order on April 16, 2013, only cycled the breaker and did not verify whether the breaker spring discharge linkage assembly was binding. The binding did not allow the closing coil to properly charge. It also appears from the forensic analysis that the anti-pump relay coil failed when the breaker closing spring charging motor failed to charge the closing spring following the breaker operation. This placed the emergency service water pump in an inoperable condition. The inspectors determined that the breaker failure on April 17, 2013, could have been prevented if adequate post-maintenance testing had been performed following the corrective maintenance activities. Though Exelon identified the failure as a result of subsequent surveillance testing on April 17, 2013, the inspectors considered this finding to be NRC-equipment apparent cause evaluation did not address these organizational or human performance weaknesses in the cause evaluation.
The inspectors determined that prior to the failure on April 15, 2013, the breaker would have performed its safety function because on April 15, the breaker was found with the closing spring in a fully charged state. In this condition, the closing spring would have been able to close the breaker on demand. Exelon entered the issue into their corrective action program as IR 2471069. Planned corrective actions include revising work order activities to specify the correct post maintenance test.
Analysismaintenance test for the emergency service water pump in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appeability to foresee and prevent. The performance deficiency is more than minor because it is associated with the Equipment Performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected its objective to ensure the availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events. Specifically, the inadequate post led to the emergency service water pump failing to perform its function during subsequent surveillance testing on April 17, 2013. The inspectors assessed this finding (SDP) for Findings At-finding does not represent an actual loss of function of the emergency service water system for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time (15 days). Therefore, the finding is of very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work include documented instructions for performing an adequate post maintenance test [H.5].
Enforcement.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion 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 above, on April 16, 2013, following corrective er pump breaker, Exelon failed to prescribe appropriate documented instructions and proper acceptance criteria for performing an adequate post-water pump failed to start on April 17, 2013, which appeared to be caused by the same defective breaker mechanism that the corrective maintenance was intended to repair. Because this violation was of very low safety-significance and was entered into 2471069, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000219/2015001-02, Inadequate Post-Maintenance Testing for Emergency Service Water Pump Breaker) c. Observations The inspectors concluded that Exelon took appropriate actions to identify the cause of the breaker failures on April 17, 2013, and January 29, 2014. The inspectors concluded that each breaker failure was not a common issue. However, the inspectors did determine that the April 17, 2013 breaker failure was caused by inadequate corrective maintenance and post maintenance testing performed on April 16, 2013. For the breaker failure on April 27, 2013, Exelon determined the apparent cause to be misalignment of the breaker to the switchgear cubicequipment apparent cause evaluation, the breaker spring discharge crank pin mechanically interfered with the spring discharge cam that is mounted in the switchgear cubicle. This interfering condition was sufficient to reposition the adjusting clevis and spring release crank. This condition degraded the spring release interlocking design feature, which is provided to discharge the closing and opening springs when the breaker is inserted into or withdrawn from the metal-clad switchgear. As stated in the report, this condition would not allow the spring discharge crank to move. Exelon determined that this may have prevented the breaker closing spring from recharging after the breaker was operated. Exelon promptly replaced the failed breaker and updated preventive maintenance procedure, 2400-SME-3915.03, to include steps to check alignment of the spring discharge cam and the spring discharge crank. Exelon also performed an extent of condition review and determined that there were no other breakers that were experiencing a similar issue. The inspectors determined that the failure was related to inadequate corrective maintenance performed on April 16, 2013, and an inadequate post maintenance test as discussed in Section 4OA2.2b. For the breaker failure on January 29, 2014, Exelon performed an equipment apparent cause evaluation and determined the apparent cause of this failure was degradation of the 52HH switch from wear and dirty contacts. The 52HH switch is a SBM-type switch that is mounted inside the switchgear cubicle. The switch is actuated by the breaker elevator when the breaker is in the fully raised position. When the breaker is fully raised up, the switch contacts are closed, which provides a permissive to close the breaker from the control room or locally at the breaker. Exelon determined that the 52HH switch degradation could have been identified if steps were added to the preventive maintenance procedure 2400-SME-3915.03. Exelon took prompt corrective action to replace the switch. In addition, Exelon completed an extent of condition review and created corrective actions to perform continuity checks on 52HH switch in other similar breakers. The inspectors determined that adding steps to the preventive maintenance procedure was an enhancement. se to breaker failure issues was commensurate with safety significance, and the actions taken and planned were reasonable to restore the nonconforming conditions.

No. 2 Emergency Diesel Generator Cylinder No. 15 Degraded Piston Wrist Pin Bearing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-actions associated with the emergency diesel generator No. 2 degraded piston wrist pin bearing. Specifically, during the performance of a 24-month preventive maintenance lubricating oil system inspection on emergency diesel generator No. 2 on October 21, 2013, foreign material in the form of silver metal shavings was found in the main lubricating oil filter housing. Subsequent inspection activities revealed silver metal shavings in the engine sump below cylinder No. 15 and indications of a degraded wrist pin bearing, which necessitated replacement of the power pack assembly. Exelon entered the issue into the corrective action program as IR prompt investigation and performed an equipment apparent cause evaluation and mitigating system performance indicator failure determination evaluation to address the degraded conditions and past operability of emergency diesel generator No. 2. cause analyses and evaluations; extent of condition reviews; and the prioritization and timeliness of actions to evaluate whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate and met the requirements of their corrective action process. The inspectors reviewed the applicable condition reports and associated documents, work orders, maintenance procedures, engine log readings, and as-actions to address other possible or contributing causes. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the Additionally, the inspectors interviewed engineering and maintenance personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions and performed field walkdowns to assess the material condition of the emergency diesel generator No. 2. b. Observations Oyster Creek is equipped with two identical General Motors Corporation, Electromotive Division Model EMD 20-645E4, 20 cylinder, emergency diesel generator units. The function of these emergency diesel generators is to provide safety-related alternating current power to the class 1E busses upon a loss of off-site power while the reactor is critical, including during post-accident conditions. Upon demand, the emergency diesel generator must be able to start, achieve rated speed and voltage, and provide power to the Class 1E busses within 10 seconds. Further, the emergency diesel generator must be able to sustain power production for a minimum of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The emergency diesel generators were modified in 1986 to include prelubricating/ prewarm oil systems which operate continuously to maintain the diesels in a standby condition to reduce engine wear during fast starts. The prelubricating/prewarm system provides direct lubrication to the crankshaft surfaces and turbocharger bearings during standby conditions, but does not provide direct application to the wristpin bearings. However, the time to initiation of wristpin lubrication has been minimized by maintaining the lubricating oil headers full via the prelubricating system. Additionally, procedural enhancements were instituted to reduce the number of fast starts on the emergency diesel generators during testing to enhance bearing and other component life. The inspectors concluded that Exelon staff generally conducted a thorough and appropriate technical review as documented in their equipment apparent cause evaluation and corrective action reports. Past operability of emergency diesel generator No. 2 was addressed in the mitigating system performance indicator failure determination evaluation. The inspectors noted that the mitigating system performance indicator evaluation included detailed discussions on operability of the emergency diesel generator with the degraded bearing. The inspectors determined that the maintenance metal flakes were commensurate with their programs and procedures as well as vendor and Electromotive Division oinspectors further noted that Exelon used relevant operating experience in their response to the issue and determination regarding operability. Exelon was not able to identify a specific factor that led to the wrist pin bearing failure. However, Exelon noted that operating history and industry experience suggested that the most likely cause of the bearing damage involved the wrist pin bearing and lubrication delivery system coupled with a combination of factors including multiple starts and excessive high or low cause for this occurrence could be found was reasonable.
Additionally, the inspectors determined that Exelon staff appropriately identified latent organizational weaknesses as contributors to the event. Lubricating oil analysis is a major indicator of machinery degradation; however, the vendor contracted by Exelon to perform the oil analysis did not possess the capability of measuring silver content to the 0.1 parts per million (ppm) tolerance required. Silver is a layered element within the diesel engine piston wrist pin bearings and as the wrist pin bearing degrades, the silver content in the lubricating oil system increases. Exelon further identified that engineering staff failed to review analysis results in a timely manner and did not take the required actions following receipt of ten oil analysis reports indicating silver content exceeding the procedural guidance as described in maintenance procedure MA-AA-716-230-1001, These issues have been entered into 1575045. This performance deficiency and violation of regulatory requirements is dispositioned in Section
4OA7 of this report.
The failure to identify the high out-of-specification silver content readings at 1.0 ppm in the lubricating oil results occurred on ten occasions over thirteen months between samples taken from two separate emergency diesel generator No. 2 locations. 1.0 ppm of silver should have triggered additional actions for levels above 0.3 and 0.7 ppm per the procedure including, but not limited to: resampling immediately to verify abnormal results; performing confirmatory testing using more accurate methods if required; reviewing all vibration and thermography data immediately for adverse trends; and contacting the equipment manufacturer for additional assistance. The inspectors noted that the original vendor had retained an oil sample taken before the October 21, 2013 two year overhaul. This sample was sent to a new vendor who possessed the required analysis accuracy and resulted in an actual silver content of 0.5 ppm.
additional observations regarding corrective actions. First, while Exelon considered other emergency diesel generator results relative to required action levels, Exelon did not look further to other components to see if the same extent-of-cause issue existed in other safety-related systems. For instance, various safety-related closed loop cooling systems at the station have routine analyses to verify that the vendor was performing the tests to the required accuracy. Second, from a procedural point of view, the only individual required to review emergency diesel generator oil analysis results was an engineer in the Component Maintenance Optimization group. The inspectors observed that no second check or peer check was procedurally in-place to minimize any delays in identifying out-of-action process as IR 2486351. Regarding operability of the 2B emergency diesel generator with a silver content of 0.5 ppm in the lubricating oil, the inspectors reviewed operating experience with the same make and model emergency diesel generator in other nuclear applications. The inspectors found two instances where other emergency diesel generators were able to perform the intended safety function with elevated silver contents at 2.0 and 1.3 ppm emergency diesel generator cylinder No. 15 removed wrist pin bearing demonstrated that although the bearing had been degraded, some material remained in place which was capable of carrying the applied loads. Furthermore, pressure/volume combustion chamber diagnostics from 2011 and 2013, as well as engine log reviews, revealed no issues that would impact the ability to perform the intended safety function. commensurate with the safety significance, was timely, and generally included appropriate follow-up actions.

.2 (Closed) Exelon LER 05000219/2014-005-00:
Secondary Containment Declared Inoperable On September 19, 2014, during refueling outage 1R25 with the unit in cold shutdown, a technician discovered that a previously authorized and installed temporary modification had been removed from a penetration in the outboard main steam isolation valve room (trunnion room). The purpose of the temporary modification is to isolate the penetration from the reactor building to the trunnion room to allow the reactor building trunnion room door to be maintained open during refueling outages. Per Technical Specifications 3.5.B and 4.5.G, in order to maintain secondary containment integrity with the trunnion room door open, four penetrations connecting the trunnion room to the reactor building must be sealed. The trunnion room door was open when the plug was found removed from a six inch equipment drain hub. The plug was immediately reinstalled, restoring the safety function of the secondary containment. Exelon performed an engineering analysis, which determined that the secondary containment system was capable of performing its safety function with the plug removed.
The apparent cause of the event was determined to be inadequate signage on the trunnion room door, with a contributing cause that the individual who removed the temporary modification to use the equipment drain hub did not understand the importance of the temporary modification. Exelon has revised the temporary modification to require signage not only on the trunnion room door, but to all the plugs installed as part of the temporary modification.
The inspectors determined that the technical specification violation was minor because it was not a precursor to a significant event; did not have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern; did not relate to a performance indicator that would have exceeded a threshold; and did not adversely affect any of the cornerstone objectives. The inspectors identified other issues concerning the adequacy of the post-maintenance test utilized after the initial temporary modification installation (see Section 1R19); a concurrent loss of secondary containment safety function (see Section 4OA7); and the completeness of the LER and emergency notification system report (see below). This LER is closed. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.9(a) in that Exelon did not provide complete information in reports submitted per 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73. Specifically, an LER submitted on November 18, 2014, did not discuss a separate, partially-opened secondary containment door that was discovered during the same time frame, which could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of secondary containment, and therefore was required to be discussed in the original LER.
Description.
At approximately 2200 on September 19, 2014, while the reactor was in cold shutdown for the 1R25 refueling outage, an Oyster Creek technician discovered that a previously installed temporary modification was removed from a penetration that was required to maintain secondary containment in the trunnion room. The purpose of the temporary modification is to isolate the penetration opening from the reactor building and allow the trunnion room door to be maintained open during refueling outages. Technical Specification 3.5 allows this temporary modification to serve as a secondary containment boundary while work activities are occurring in the trunnion room. The technician immediately reinstalled the temporary modification and entered the issue into the corrective action program as IR 2383820.
At approximately 0630 on September 20, 2014, the shift manager reviewed the IR report, declared secondary containment inoperable and made an 8-hour report (ENS 50476) per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3), which described the partially-removed temporary modification. The shift manager then set plant conditions to show that secondary containment was operable following reinstallation of the temporary modification. However, the standby gas treatment system could only achieve a differential pressure of negative 0.20 inches of water, which did not meet the Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 criterion of negative 0.25 inches of water. The shift manager entered this issue into the corrective action program as IR 2383852 and commenced troubleshooting efforts to determine why the technical specification could not be met. The troubleshooting efforts identified that a personnel access door embedded in the railroad airlock outer door was not fully closed, and allowed enough air to leak into secondary containment to prevent achieving a negative 0.25 inches of water differential pressure. Technicians shut the personnel access door and secondary containment differential pressure returned to the value required by technical specifications.
Oyster Creek submitted LER 2014-005-modification and concluded that the safety function of secondary containment was not lost as the cross sectional area of the penetration was bounded by a design calculation that showed it was not large enough to prevent the standby gas treatment system from drawing negative 0.25 inches of water differential pressure.
The inspectors reviewed the LER and ENS and determined that neither report documented the inability of the standby gas treatment system to achieve the technical specification surveillance requirement on September 20, and did not document the discovery of the partially opened personnel access door. Exelon entered the issue into their corrective action program as IR 2440641. Planned corrective actions include revising the original LER to add a discussion of the partially opened secondary containment door.
Analysis.
The inspectors determined that not providing a complete report in accordance ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. Specifically, Exelon did not describe the effectiveness of response measures taken and major occurrences during the event, including all component or system failures that contributed to the event. oversight function, the inspectors evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. The inspectors documented findings related to this event in Section 1R19 and section
4OA7 of this report, which were determined to be of very low safety significance.
In accordance with Section 2.2.2.d of the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspectors determined that the performance deficiency identified with the reporting aspect of the event is a Severity Level IV violation, because it is of more than minor concern, with relatively inappreciable potential safety significance and is related to findings that were determined to be more than minor issues. In accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, this issue is not assigned a cross-cutting aspect.
Enforcement.
applicant for a license or by a licensee or information required by statute or by the or the licen the above, on November 18, 2014, information provided by Exelon in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 was not complete in all material aspects because Exelon did not describe the effectiveness of response measures taken and all component or system failures that contributed to the event. The inspectors determined that submission of incomplete reports required by 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CRF 50.73 is characterized as a Severity Level lV violation. However, because the violation was of (IR 2440641), this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy, (NCV 05000219/2015001-03, Incomplete 50.72 and 50.73 Reports Associated with Secondary Containment Integrity)
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
On April 17, 2015, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Garey Stathes, Site Vice President, and other members of the Exelon staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations
The following violations of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by Exelon and were a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as an NCV.
secondary containment integrity be maintained at all times when the reactor vessel head and the drywell head are in not in place. Technical Specification 1.14, system is operable. Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 specifies that with the trunnion room door open and the trunnion room is isolated from secondary containment in support of outage activities, testing of the standby gas treatment system to be performed to demonstrate the capability to maintain 1/4 inch of water vacuum under calm wind conditions and a standby gas treatment system filter train flow rate of not more than 4000 cfm. Contrary to Technical Specification 3.5.B, on September 20, 2014, with the reactor vessel head and drywell head removed for the refueling outage, Exelon determined that they did not have secondary containment integrity when performing testing to demonstrate standby gas treatment system capability in accordance with Technical Specification 4.5.G.3 and subsequently found that the outer railroad air lock personnel access hatch had not been closed properly, which prevented a proper vacuum from being achieved. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program as IR 2383852. Using guidance in IMC 0609, Appendices G and H, the inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the decay heat values were low and the reactor water level inventory was above that required to move irradiated fuel.
Technical Specificatiimplemented, and maintained covering surveillance and test activities of equipment Contrary to the above, from August 2012 through September 2013, Exelon took no action following receipt of ten lubricating oil analysis report results taken from two emergency diesel generator No. 2 sample locations which indicated silver content at 1.0 ppm, which exceeded procedural action levels. Specifically, Exelon maintenance procedure MA-AA-716-230-governs safety system oil analyses and describes actions to be taken when equipment wear metals exceed specific thresholds, as obtained through monthly oil analysis. Section 3 of procedure MA-AA-716-230-1001 lists potential actions to be taken when oil analysis results indicate silver content above 0.3 and 0.7 ppm respectively. These actions include resampling immediately to verify abnormal results, performing confirmatory testing using more accurate methods if required, reviewing all vibration and thermography data immediately for adverse trends, and contacting the equipment manufacturer for additional assistance. Exelon identified this issue on October 21, 2013, during the performance of a 24-month lubricating oil system inspection on the emergency diesel generator No. 2 when silver metal shavings were found in the main lubricating oil filter housing and in the sump below cylinder #15. The inspectors determined that the failure to identify an out-of-specification lubricating oil sample result on numerous occasions was a performance determined that the issue adversely impacted the reliability of the safety-related emergency diesel generator in that the wrist pin bearing was degraded and had partially failed. The inspectors determined that the issue was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not: affect design or qualification; represent a loss of system or function; exceed technical speciation allowed outage times; and involve external events. Exelon entered this issue into the corrective action program as IR 1575045.
