SUBJECT: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS.: 05000325/2013002 AND 05000324/2013002 AND EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION

Dear Mr. Annacone:

On March 31, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Brunswick Unit 1 and 2 facilities. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on April 24, 2013, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

One NRC identified finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified during this inspection. The finding did not involve a violation of NRC requirements. Additionally, a licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low safety significance, is listed in this report. The NRC is treating this violation as non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the violation/finding or the significance of the NCV/finding, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-

0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. If you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant.

In addition, a violation of Technical Specification 3.6.4.1, Secondary Containment was identified. Because the violation was identified during the discretion period described in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum 11-003, Revision 1, the NRC is exercising enforcement discretion in accordance with Section 3.5, "Violations Involving Special Circumstances," of the NRC Enforcement Policy and, therefore, will not issue enforcement action for this violation, subject to a timely license amendment request being submitted.

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 available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000325/2013002, 05000324/2013002; 01/01/13 -

03/31/13; Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 & 2;

Plant Modifications.

This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One Green finding was identified by the inspectors. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, issued June 19, 2012 "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspects were determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas", issued October 28, 2011. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy dated January 28, 2013.

The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operations of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process" revision 4.

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

An NRC-identified Green finding was identified for the failure of the licensee to follow Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005, Engineering Change (EC), when performing the variable frequency drive (VFD) modification for the reactor recirculation pumps (RRPs).

Specifically, between April 4, 2010 and the present, the licensee inappropriately used a Rapid Field Release (RFR) to revise the power supplies for the relays in the VFD system without re-evaluating the EC, the 10 CFR 50.59 Screen/Evaluation, and the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This resulted in a new failure mode on a loss of the power supply causing a RRP runback and placing the plant in a flow transient, and a loss of cooling to the RRP seals. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program (CAP) as nuclear condition report (NCR) 581202.

The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the failure of the licensee to follow Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005, Engineering Change (EC), when performing the VFD modification for the RRPs. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the VFD modification inappropriately causes a RRP runback on a loss of 480 VAC and core flow instability, and a loss of cooling to the RRP seals. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, The SDP for Findings At-Power, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance because as a transient initiator due to the RRP runback, the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. The inspectors determined the finding was also of very low safety significance because as a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) initiator, after a reasonable assessment of degradation, the finding would not result in exceeding the reactor coolant system leak rate for a small break LOCA or likely affect other systems used to mitigate a LOCA resulting in a total loss of their function. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work control attribute because the licensee did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address the impact of changes to the work scope, associated with the VFD modification, on the plant. H.3(b) (Section 1R18)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

A violation of very low safety significance that was identified by the licensee has been reviewed by inspectors. Corrective actions planned or taken by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's CAP. This violation and corrective action tracking number are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

Unit 2 began the inspection period at RTP. On January 5, 2013, the unit was down powered to 71 percent for rod improvement and power was returned to RTP on the same day. On January 12, 2013, the unit was down powered to 85 percent for rod improvement and power was returned to RTP on the same day. On March 2, 2013, the unit was shut down for a refueling outage and remained shut down for the remainder of the quarter.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

• Unit 2 125 VDC during fuel movement on January 20, 2013

• Unit 1 standby liquid control on February 28, 2013

• Unit 2 standby gas treatment A on March 18, 2013

• Unit 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG) 3 during Division I outage on March 28, 2013

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), TS requirements, outstanding work orders (WOs), condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify that system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the co mponents and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semi-Annual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

During the week of March 25, 2013, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the nuclear service water (NSW) system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment line-ups, electrical power availability, system pressure and temperature indications, as appropriate, component labeling, component lubrication, component and equipment cooling, hangers and supports, operability of support systems, and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding work orders (WOs) was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system' function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved. Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

• Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment room, 70' elevation, 0PFP-CB-24

• Turbine building, 2PFP-TB2-8b, 2PFP-TB2-8d, and 2PFP-TB2-1n

• Battery rooms (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B), 1PFP-CB-7, 1PFP-CB-8, 1PFP-CB-9, and 1PFP-CB-10

• Service water building 13' & 20' elevations, 0PFP-SW-1b and 0PFP-SW-1a

• Radwaste building 23' elevation, 0PFP-RW-1b The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. The inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Annual Fire Protection Drill Observation

a. Inspection Scope

On February 5, 2013, the inspectors observed fire brigade performance during an unannounced fire drill. The observation was used to determine the readiness of the plant fire brigade to fight fires. The inspectors verified that the licensee staff identified deficiencies, openly discussed them in a self-critical manner at the drill debrief, and took appropriate corrective actions. Specific attributes evaluated were: (1) proper wearing of turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus; (2) proper use and layout of fire hoses; (3) employment of appropriate fire fighting techniques; (4) sufficient firefighting equipment brought to the scene; (5) effectiveness of fire brigade leader communications, command, and control; (6) search for victims and propagation of the fire into other plant areas; (7) smoke removal operations; (8) utilization of pre-planned strategies; (9) adherence to the pre-planned drill scenario; and (10) drill objectives. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R06 Flood Protection Measures

.1 Review of Areas Susceptible to Internal Flooding

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed selected risk-important plant design features and licensee procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal

flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flood analyses and design documents, including the UFSAR, engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures (AOPs), for licensee commitments. In addition, the inspectors reviewed licensee drawings to identify areas and equipment that may be affected by internal flooding caused by the failure or misalignment of nearby sources of water, such as the fire suppression or the circulating water systems. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's corrective action documents with respect to past flood-related items identified in the CAP to verify the adequacy of the corrective actions. The inspectors performed a walkdown of the following plant area to assess the adequacy of flood protection measures, and that the licensee complied with its commitments:

• Unit 2 rattle spaces between the turbine building and the Unit 2 reactor building, between the turbine building and Unit 1 reactor building, between the radwaste building and the Unit 1 reactor building, and between the radwaste building and the Unit 2 reactor building Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's testing of the Unit 1 Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) "C" heat exchanger to verify that potential deficiencies did not mask the licensee's ability to detect degr aded performance, to identify any common cause issues that had the potential to increase risk, and to ensure that the licensee was adequately addressing problems that could result in initiating events that would cause an increase in risk. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's observations as compared against acceptance criteria, the correlation of scheduled testing and the frequency of testing, and the impact of instrument inaccuracies on test results. Inspectors also visually inspected the service water side of the heat exchanger to ensure that the heat exchanger was free of debris and biological growth. Documents reviewed are listed in

the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R08 In-service Inspection Activities

From March 11, 2013 through March 15, 2013, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the licensee's In-service Inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, emergency feedwater systems, containment systems, and risk-significant piping and components.

.1 Piping Systems ISI

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed or reviewed records of the following non-destructive examinations (NDE) mandated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (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:

• Visual (VT-1) and Magnetic Particle Examination of Support 2-E21-40FS90, core spray system support

• Ultrasonic examination of weld 2E1146-20-FW62 on the residual heat removal (RHR) system

• Ultrasonic examination of weld 2E1145-15-FW58 on the RHR system

• Ultrasonic examination of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Flange to Vessel weld The inspectors reviewed evaluations for unacceptable indications in the RPV flange to vessel weld that did not meet the acceptance requirements of IWB-3000 of Section XI. The inspectors also reviewed the results of examinations conducted this outage and the evaluations performed.

The inspectors observed or reviewed the following pressure boundary welds completed for risk-significant systems during the outage to evaluate if the licensee applied the pre-service NDE and acceptance criteria required by the construction code, NRC-approved code case, NRC-approved code relief request or the ASME Code Section XI. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the welding procedure specification and supporting weld procedure qualification records to evaluate if the weld procedures were qualified in accordance with the requirements of construction code and the ASME Code Section IX.

• WO 1489566 to cut out and replace Valve 2-E11-F046 The inspectors reviewed the following NDE activities associated with the inspection of reactor vessel internal components (boiling water reactors vessel internals project):

• Visual Examination (VT-1) of core spray T box

• Visual Examination (VT-3) of core spray lower bracket Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of ISI-related problems entered into the licensee's CAP and conducted interviews with licensee staff to determine if:

• The licensee had established an appropriate threshold for identifying ISI-related problems

• The licensee had performed a root cause (if applicable) and taken appropriate corrective actions

• The licensee had evaluated operating experience and industry generic issues related to ISI and pressure boundary integrity The inspectors performed these reviews to evaluate compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

.1 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification Testing and Training

(71111.11Q - 1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

On January 9, 2013, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during an emergency preparedness (EP) drill to verify that operator

performance was adequate, evaluators we re identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and to ensure that training, where appropriate, was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

• Licensed operator performance

• Crew's clarity and formality of communications

• Ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction

• Prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms

• Correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures

• Control board manipulations

• Oversight and direction from supervisors

• Ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and EP actions and notifications The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Performance in the Main Control Room

(71111.11Q - 1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

Inspectors observed and assessed licensed operator performance in the plant and main control room, particularly during periods of heightened activity or risk and where the activities could affect plant safety. Specifically, on March 13, 2013, the inspectors observed Unit 2 evolutions following entry into AOP-20, Pneumatic (Air/Nitrogen) System Failures. The inspectors reviewed various licensee policies and procedures listed in the Attachment. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

• Operator compliance and use of procedures

• Control board manipulations

• Communication between crew members

• Use and interpretation of plant instruments, indications and alarms

• Use of human error prevention techniques

• Documentation of activities, including initials and sign-offs in procedures

• Supervision of activities, including risk and reactivity management

• Pre-job briefs and crew briefs

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing

equipment for work:

• Unit 2 elevated integrated risk during fuel loading campaign on January 7, 2013

• Unit 1 elevated risk during repairs to reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) on January 10, 2013

• Unit 2 elevated risk due to lower vessel inventory and reactor head lift during refueling outage on March 5, 2013

• Unit 2 elevated risk due to rattle space flooding on March 13, 2013

• Unit 2 elevated risk due to EDG 3 and emergency buses E3 and E7 outages on March 29, 2013 These activities were selected based on their potential risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following six (6) issues:

• Unit 2 high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) flow controller indications when pump is secured on January 21, 2013

• Unit 1 RCIC flow controller battery issue on January 29, 2013

• Unit 1 1B-1 Battery low specific gravity on February 5, 2013

• Unit 2 RCIC steam detector failure on February 16, 2013

• Unit 2 reactor protection system electrical protection assembly 6 breaker potential to not trip on undervoltage on March 16, 2013

• Unit 2 Leakage past RHR discharge valves 2-E11-F027A and 2-E11-F028A on March 25, 2013

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk-significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations, to determine

whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors

determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R18 Plant Modifications

a. Inspection Scope

The following modification was reviewed and selected aspects were discussed with engineering personnel:

• Permanent modification to replace the 24 VDC power supply to the RRP VFD relays with a 120 VAC power supply

This document and related documentation were reviewed for adequacy of the associated 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation screening, consideration of design parameters, implementation of the modification, post-modification testing, and relevant procedures, design, and licensing documents were properly updated. The inspectors reviewed completed work activities to verify that installation was consistent with the design control documents.

b. Findings

Introduction.

An NRC-identified Green finding was identified for the failure of the licensee to follow Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005, EC, when performing the VFD modification for the RRPs. Specifically, between April 4, 2010 and the present, the licensee inappropriately used a RFR to revise the power supplies for the relays in the VFD system without re-evaluating the EC, the 10 CFR 50.59 Screen/Evaluation, and the FMEA. This resulted in a new failure mode on a loss of the power supply causing a RRP runback and placing the plant in a flow transient, and a loss of cooling to the RRP seals.

Description.

Unit 1 and Unit 2 motor generator (MG) sets were replaced by the VFDs on April 14, 2010 and April 27, 2011, respectively. This modification was to provide a source of variable voltage and variable frequency for control of the RRPs. The VFD/Recirculation Flow Control System (RFCS) was also installed to control the VFD inputs and outputs including inputs such as operator-demanded speed changes, runback signals and outputs such as VFD alarms and parameters. The RFCS interfaces with the digital feedwater control system (DFCS) where the DFCS generates portions of the signals needed to initiate runbacks of the RRPs on low feedwater flow or low reactor vessel water level. During the modification to install the VFDs, licensee personnel believed that the relay contacts between the RFCS and the DFCS, that open to initiate the RRP runback, used 24 VDC across the contacts. Testing revealed that the contacts required 120 VAC in order to work correctly.

The licensee found this issue during a time critical portion of system installation and implemented a RFR to address the problem. The inspectors reviewed the procedure in effect at the time, Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005, EC, Revision 30, Section 9.3.9.3, which states that "If a revision is necessary during implementation of the EC, the responsible engineer may provide expedited revision information to the implementing organization using a RFR revision". The section further states to evaluate the needed change and ensure the following criteria are satisfied: 1) The revision does not involve changes to design inputs, and 2) The revision does not affect the conclusions of the original 10 CFR

50.59 Screen/Evaluation.

The 120 VAC source chosen to implement the interposing relay modification between the RFCS and the DFCS was the 480 V Emergency Buses E5 - E8, which was the same source for the previous relay configuration for the MG Set runback logic.

However, when the loss of one of these emergency buses occurs, the interposing relay drops out, which signals the RFCS to command a runback of the RRPs even though a runback is not needed for plant conditions. The previous MG Set control logic would issue a scoop tube lock when this power loss occurred and flow would remain stable. The new VFD control logic is not able to differentiate between the interposing relay dropping out because of a loss of power versus the relay dropping out due to a real runback condition. On a loss of a 480 V Emergency bus, the RRP will runback to approximately 34 percent speed, resulting in reactor power being reduced to 78 percent power and 80 Mlb/hr core flow. This will put the plant above the maximum extended load line limit on the power to core flow map, which the plant is not licensed to operate.

Procedure 1(2)AOP-04.0, Low Core Flow, directs operations personnel to immediately take action to drive rods in and reduce core flow until recirculation flow matches between the two loops as required by TS 3.4.1, "Recirculation Loops Operating", which generally occurs around 35 percent power.

The licensee identified that this new failure mode existed on April 26, 2011 during operator training in the simulator; however, the licensee did not take actions to address this new failure mode. The inspectors determined that the licensee failed to follow Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005 when the RFR was created in April 2010, that the licensee did not evaluate the consequences or the acceptability of the modification when the issue was discovered in April 2011, or take corrective actions and revise the EC, the 10 CFR 50.59 Screen/Evaluation, and the FMEA.

The relay involved in the modification also provides part of the control logic for the RRP seal staging flow and the jet pump flow circuitry. On a loss of a 480 VAC bus, the RRP seal staging valve goes closed resulting in a loss of seal cooling to the RRP seal. The licensee evaluated this issue and determined that the control room operators will receive an annunciator for the seal staging valve being closed and will be directed to re-open the valve per the alarm response procedure in a timely manner. Also, on the loss of a 480 VAC bus, when the relay loses power, it appears to the jet pump flow indication logic that the RRP is not running, as opposed to having a runback. This results in one of the core flow indications being inaccurate; however, core flow indication will be available through another indicator. The inspectors reviewed these additional issues and determined the licensee's corrective actions were adequate.

After the inspectors' questions, the licensee performed a10 CFR 50.59 Screen and Evaluation under NCR 581202. The licensee determined that a 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation was needed since the 10 CFR 50.59 Screen determined the modification

involved a change to a system, structure, or component that adversely effects an UFSAR analysis described design function. The licensee performed the 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation and determined a license amendment was not required.

The licensee plans to remove the power supply issues that result in the reactor recirculation runback, the loss of seal staging flow, and the jet pump flow indication issues in the Long Range Plan tracked under LTAM BNP-11-0248.

Analysis.

The performance deficiency associated with this finding was the failure of the licensee to follow Procedure EGR-NGGC-0005, Engineering Change (EC), when performing the VFD modification for the RRPs. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the VFD modification inappropriately causes a RRP runback on a loss of 480 VAC and core flow instability, and a loss of cooling to the RRP seals. Using IMC 0609, Appendix A, issued June 19, 2012, The SDP for Findings At-Power, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance because as a transient initiator due to the RRP runback, the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. The inspectors determined the finding was also of very low safety significance because as a LOCA initiator, after a reasonable assessment of degradation, the finding would not result in exceeding the reactor coolant system leak rate for a small break LOCA or likely affect other systems used to mitigate a LOCA resulting in a total loss of their function. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the work control attribute because the licensee did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address the impact of changes to the work scope, associated with the VFD modification, on the plant. H.3(b)

Enforcement.

This finding does not involve enforcement action because no regulatory requirement violation was identified since the reactor recirculation pumps are not safety-related. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as NCR 581202. Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety or security significance, it is identified as FIN 05000325/2013002-01 and 05000324/2013002-01, Failure to Follow Procedure for Variable Frequency Drive Reactor Recirculation Pump Design Modification.

From August through October, 2012, the licensee performed walkdowns of flood protection measures in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institutes 12-07 Walkdown Guidance. The licensee and inspectors identified degraded or missing flood protection measures in the service water building, reactor building, and emergency diesel generator building. The inspectors are opening a URI to review the licensee's evaluation of these flood protection deficiencies and determine if a performance deficiency exists.

The licensee entered these issues into the CAP as NCR 600850. This issue is being tracked as: URI 05000325/2013002-02 and 05000324/2013002-02, Flood Impacts due to Degraded Flood Protection Measures.

.5 Teleconference to Discuss Status Of Groundwater Monitoring Program

On March 12, 2013, the inspectors held a teleconference with licensee staff to discuss the status of the groundwater monitoring program. The licensee provided an update on tritium concentrations in water collected from onsite and offsite groundwater and surface water sampling locations and discussed ongoing remediation efforts associated with the Storm Drain Stabilization Pond (SDSP) and areas near a U1 Condensate Storage Tank (CST) underground pipe leak. Although seasonal fluctuations can occur, the inspectors noted that onsite tritium concentrations in and near the SDSP have generally trended downward since 2007 when the contamination was discovered and corrective actions were initiated. The licensee has installed shallow and intermediate-depth wells in the vicinity of a U1 CST piping leak (from December 2010) in order to better characterize the tritium plume and to facilitate remediation of the groundwater. Some of these wells have detected low levels of tritium in the top of the Castle-Hayne aquifer in the area immediately below the Brunswick site. Wells have also been constructed further away from the leak site to monitor any plume migration through the Castle-Hayne. Samples taken from these wells have not shown any detectable tritium. The inspectors noted that although very low concentrations of tritium have been identified periodically in the offsite environs, e.g., Nancy's Creek immediately adjac ent to the SDSP, all reported values for offsite samples have remained significantly below established regulatory limits. The licensee is currently remediating the groundwater around the SDSP through a network of sub-surface pumping wells. Water pumped from this network is transferred to a double-lined retention pond. Publicly available information regarding onsite groundwater monitoring and radionuclide concentrations in the environment near Brunswick Steam Electric Plant can be found in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. Recently issued reports can be found on the NRC's public website:

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/ops-experience/tritium/plant-specific-reports/bru1-2.html.

4OA6 Management Meetings

Exit Meeting Summary

On April 24, 2013, the inspectors presented the inspection results of the quarterly integrated inspection activities to Mr. Michael Annacone, and other members of the licensee staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection period.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as a Non-Cited Violation.

Technical Specification 5.7.1, "High Radiation Area", requires posting and barricading of HRAs with dose rates not exceeding 1 Rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation. Contrary to this, on April 25, 2012, an unposted and unbarricaded HRA was identified by the licensee in the Unit 1 Reactor Building 80' elevation Reactor Water Clean-Up (RWCU) Precoat Tank area. During the previous shift, following a RWCU Back Wash Receiving Tank (BWRT) resin transfer "drop" to the Radwaste RWCU phase separators, a survey was performed and the area was downposted from HRA to RA. However, the survey failed to detect dose rates on the piping underneath the Unit 1 RWCU Precoat tank of 2.5 Rem/hour contact and 0.4 Rem/hour at 30 centimeters. The elevated dose rates were not found until a procedurally required follow-up survey was performed approximately 3.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> later by another HP technician. The technician took immediate corrective actions including posting and barricading the affected area. This finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because there was no substantial potential for overexposure. This was based on the fact that no workers entered the hotspot area underneath the Precoat tank during the brief period that the area was not properly controlled. In addition, the dose rates involved were not high enough to provide a substantial potential for overexposure. The licensee entered the issue into their CAP as NCR 532588.
