REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Impending Adverse Weather Conditions The inspectors reviewed the licensee's preparations to protect risk-significant systems

from severe cold weather conditions expected on January 7, 2014. The inspectors

evaluated the licensee's implementation of adverse weather preparation procedures and compensatory measures, including operator staffing, before the onset of and during the

adverse weather conditions. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's plans to address the

ramifications of potentially lasting effects that may result from cold weather conditions.

The inspectors verified that operator actions specified in the licensee's adverse weather

procedure maintain readiness of essential systems. The inspectors verified that required

surveillances were current, or were scheduled and completed, if practical, before the

onset of anticipated adverse weather conditions. The inspectors also verified the

licensee implemented periodic equipment walkdowns or other measures to ensure that the condition of plant equipment met operability requirements. Documents reviewed are

listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignment

a. Inspection Scope

Partial Walkdown

The inspectors verified that critical portions of selected systems were correctly aligned

by performing partial walkdowns. The ins pectors selected systems for assessment because they were a redundant or backup system or train, were important for mitigating

risk for the current plant conditions, had been recently realigned, or were a single-train system.

The inspectors determined the correct system lineup by reviewing plant procedures and

drawings. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

The inspectors selected the following three systems or trains to inspect:

  • Unit 1 "A" and "C" train auxiliary feedwater (AFW) systems while the "B" train AFW system was out of service for planned maintenance
  • Unit 2 "A" train nuclear service cooling water (NSCW) transfer system while the "B" train NSCW transfer system was out of service for planned maintenance

Complete Walkdown The inspectors verified the alignment of the Unit 1 containment spray (CS) system. The

inspectors selected this system for assessment because it is a risk-significant mitigating

system. The inspectors determined the co rrect system lineup by reviewing plant procedures, drawings, the updated final safety analysis report, and other documents. To

identify any deficiencies that could affect the ability of the system to perform its

function(s), the inspectors reviewed records related to outstanding design issues and

maintenance work requests. The inspectors verified that the selected system was

correctly aligned by performing a complete walkdown of accessible components.

To verify the licensee was identifying and resolving equipment alignment discrepancies, the inspectors reviewed corrective action documents, including condition reports and

outstanding work orders. The inspectors also reviewed periodic reports containing

information on the status of risk-significant systems, including maintenance rule reports

and system health reports. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

Quarterly Inspection The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of selected fire plans by comparing the fire plans

to the defined hazards and defense-in-depth features specified in the fire protection

program. In evaluating the fire plans, the inspectors assessed the following items:

  • control of transient combustibles and ignition sources
  • fire detection systems
  • water-based fire suppression systems
  • gaseous fire suppression systems
  • manual firefighting equipment and capability
  • passive fire protection features
  • compensatory measures and fire watches
  • issues related to fire protection contained in the licensee's corrective action program

The inspectors toured the following five fire areas to assess material condition and

operational status of fire protection equipment. Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

  • Unit 1, level "A" east and west penetration areas, fire zones 89, 90, 159, 87, 88, 93, 120, and 158
  • Unit 2, CS and RHR pump rooms, fire zones 4, 5, 9 and 10
  • Unit 1 containment building Annual Inspection

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's fire brigade performance during a drill on

February 10, 2014, and assessed the brigade's capability to meet fire protection

licensing basis requirements. The inspectors observed the following aspects of fire

brigade performance:

  • capability of fire brigade members
  • leadership ability of the brigade leader
  • use of turnout gear and firefighting equipment
  • team effectiveness
  • compliance with site procedures

The inspectors also assessed the ability of control room operators to combat potential

fires, including identifying the location of the fire, dispatching the fire brigade, and

sounding alarms. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to declare the

appropriate emergency action level and make required notifications in accordance with

NUREG 0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency

Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (FEMA-REP-1)"

and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, "Domestic Licensing

of Production and Utilization Facilities." Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. Inspection Scope

Annual Review The inspectors verified the readiness and availability of the Unit 1 "B" train centrifugal

charging pump (CCP) motor heat exchanger to perform its design function by observing

performance tests or reviewing reports of those tests, verifying the licensee uses the

periodic maintenance method outlined in Generic Letter 89-13, "Service Water System

Problems Affecting Safety Related Equipment," dated July 18, 1989, observing the

licensee's heat exchanger inspections, and verifying critical operating parameters

through direct observation or by reviewing operating data. Additionally, the inspectors

verified that the licensee had entered any significant heat exchanger performance

problems into their corrective action program and that the corrective actions were

appropriate. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection (ISI) Activities (IP 71111.08P, Unit 1)

a. Inspection Scope

Non-Destructive Examination Activities and Welding Activities

From March 24, 2014, through April 1, 2014, the inspectors conducted an on-site review of the implementation

of the licensee's ISI Program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, emergency feedwater systems, risk-signifi cant piping and components, and containment systems in Unit 1. The inspectors' activities included a review of non-destructive

examinations (NDEs) to evaluate compliance with the applicable edition of the American

Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC),

Section XI (Code of Record: 2001 Edition with 2003 Addenda; 3rd Interval, 2nd Period, 3rd Outage), and to verify that indications and defects (if present) were appropriately

evaluated and dispositioned in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Code,Section XI, acceptance standards.

The inspectors directly observed the following NDE mandated by the ASME Code to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code Section XI and Section V requirements and, if

any indications and defects were detected, to evaluate if they were dispositioned in

accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative requirement.

  • Ultrasonic test of component 1-1204-021-19-RB. 6" Elbow to Pipe Weld, Class 2
  • VT-3 of component 1-1202-030-H003, Pipe Support The inspectors reviewed records of the following NDEs mandated by the ASME Code Section XI to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code Section XI and Section V

requirements and, if any indications and defects were detected, to evaluate if they were

dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative

requirement.

  • PT of CRD housing weld, component number 1-1201-V6-001-W188

The inspectors observed the welding activities referenced below and reviewed

associated documents in order to evaluate compliance with procedures and the ASME

Code. The inspectors reviewed the work order, including the weld data sheets, welding

procedures, procedure qualification records, and welder performance qualification

records.

  • Check valve 1-1204-U4-145 replacement on safety injection system line 1-1204-030-2, valve is an ASME Class 1 and 2 break

In addition, the inspectors reviewed the following work orders for the weld packages, including weld data sheets, welding procedures, procedure qualification records, and

welder performance qualification records.

  • Work order SNC 555148, Chemical and Volume Control System Line 1-1208-012-2, ASME Class 1

During non-destructive surface and volumetric examinations performed since the

previous refueling outage, the licensee did not identify any relevant indications that were

analytically evaluated and accepted for continued service. Therefore, no NRC review

was completed for this inspection procedure attribute.

PWR Vessel Upper Head Penetration (VUHP) Inspection Activities

For the Unit 1 vessel head, a bare metal visual examination was not required this outage pursuant to

10 CFR 50.55a as it had been performed during the last refueling outage. Therefore, no

4OA3 Event Follow-up

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000424/2012-005-00:

Main Steam Isolation Valve Failures On October 8, 2013, with Unit 1 in Mode 2, the operators began preparations for power

ascension. At 1616, as a main feedwater pump was being placed online, the control

room operators noted a divergence in the RCS loop differential temperatures (Ts), steam pressures, and steam flows between loops 1 & 4 and loops 2 & 3. Loops 1 & 4

showed increasing loop Ts, lowering steam pressure, and some minimal steam flow, while loops 2 and 3 showed no loop T, increasing steam pressures (to the point of lifting the loop 2 and 3 atmospheric relief valves), and no steam flow. The Main Control

Board hand switches indicated that all MSIVs and associated bypass valves were open.

The operators identified the potential impact to the core neutron flux and stopped power

ascension. Following discussions with plant management and engineering, the

operators placed the plant in a safe condition by inserting a manual trip of the reactor at

2155. The licensee subsequently assembled an issue response team (IRT) and a root

cause team to investigate the cause of the diverging indications and to determine the

required corrective actions. The root cause team determined that the root cause of the

MSIV stem failures was due to temperature agi ng embrittlement of the stem material.

The enforcement aspects associated with this event were documented in NRC

integrated inspection report 05000424,425/2012005 (Section 4OA2). No other findings

were identified. This LER is closed.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000424/2013-001-00:

Failure to Comply with Technical Specification LCO 3.8.4 On November 27, 2013, an internal wiring discrepancy was discovered on the Unit 1

Class 1E battery charger 1AD1CB (one of two redundant battery chargers on "A" train)

following the trip of the battery charger input breaker. The wiring discrepancy prevented

the charger from performing all required functions of Technical Specification LCO 3.8.4, "DC Sources - Operating," and rendered it inoperable. The LCO requires, in part, one of

two redundant battery chargers to be operable. Subsequent review of battery charger

maintenance activities determined that on September 30, 2013 the remaining redundant

"A" train battery charger (1AD1CA) was remo ved from service for maintenance activities for approximately 14.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. This resulted in both train "A" battery chargers being

inoperable simultaneously, which is condition that requires restoration of the inoperable

direct-current (DC) source (i.e. train) within two hours (LCO 3.8.4 Condition C).

Although the degraded charger (1AD1CB) was able to maintain battery terminal voltage

within limits under minimal loading condition, the DC source was inoperable for a time

greater than allowed by technical specification. The inspectors reviewed the LER, the

associated condition report and apparent cause determination, and subsequent action

items. The enforcement aspects associated with this event were documented in NRC

integrated inspection report 05000424/2013005 (Section 1R19). No other findings were

identified. This LER is closed.

.3 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000425/2013-002:

Automatic Unit 2 Reactor Trip due to loss of Generator Excitation On October 19, 2013, while Unit 2 was operating in Mode 1 at 100 percent power, the

main generator excitation system experienced a failure that tripped the main generator

and subsequently tripped the turbine and reactor. The reactor trip system, the

engineered safety features actuation system , feedwater and auxiliary feedwater systems actuated as designed and the plant was stabilized in Mode 3. The inspectors reviewed

the LER, the associated condition report and apparent cause determination, and

subsequent action items. No findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified.

This LER is closed.

.4 (Closed) Licensee Event Report 05000425/2013-003:

Manual Reactor Trip due to Lowering Condenser Vacuum On October 22, 2013, while Unit 2 was operating in Mode 1 at 25 percent power, the unit

was manually tripped due to lowering condenser vacuum. At the time of the reactor trip, maintenance activities were in progress on the "B" main feedwater pump turbine. Prior

to the work commencing, the operators discussed how the maintenance work on the

turbine could potentially impact condenser pressure. As a precaution, the operators

established operating limits in case condenser vacuum was lost. As the lift of the turbine

steam chest was initiated, condenser vacuum began lowering and maintenance

personnel were directed to lower the steam chest back on the turbine. However, condenser vacuum continued to decrease, and as it approached the pre-determined

operational limit of 23 inches of mercury, the shift supervisor directed a manual reactor trip. The reactor trip system, feedwater and auxiliary feedwater systems actuated as designed and the plant was stabilized in Mode 3. The inspectors reviewed the LER, the

associated condition report and apparent cause determination, and subsequent action

items. No findings or violations of NRC requirements were identified. This LER is

closed.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) Report Review

In accordance with Executive Director of Operations Procedure 0220, "Coordination with

the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations," the inspectors reviewed the most recent
