==Dear Mr. Pacilio:==
On March 31, 2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results which were discussed on April 8, 2011, with Mr. W. Maguire 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.
 
This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green).The finding was determined to 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. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. lf you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with basis for your denial, to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administration, Region l; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility.
 
lf you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding 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 RegionalAdministrator, Region I and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility.
 
The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. In accordance with 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 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 the NRC's document system (ADAMS).

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B,Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action Program," because Exelon did not adequatelyevaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of aTechnical Specification (TS) surveillance test (ST). Specifically, on July 13,2010,Exelon generated issue report (lR) 1091132to document that ST-2-041-909-2,theUnit 2 Main Seam Line (MSL) Flow - High Response Time Test, had failed its pasttwo performances. In both instances, in October 2008 and July 2010, multipleresponse time values exceeded the TS requirements, and Exelon had to replaceseveral relays to bring the values back into compliance. After the 2008 failureExelon performed an apparent cause evaluation (ACE) and generated one correctiveaction (CA) and several action items (AClTs) to address the causes. Following the2010 failure, Exelon did not evaluate the repeat failure or generate any additionalactions. The inspectors determined that the CA and ACITs from 2008 did notthoroughly address the MSL Flow - High test failure, and the repeat test failure in2010 was an opportunity for Exelon to re-evaluate the issue and pursue moreappropriate and timely corrective actions. Exelon's failure to evaluate and correct acondition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS surveillance test wasdetermined to be a performance deficiency (PD).The PD was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with theSystem, Structure, and Component & Barrier Performance attribute of the ReactorSafety - Barrier lntegrity cornerstone. The PD adversely atfected the cornerstoneobjective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect thepublic from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding wasdetermined to be of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance withInspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening andCharacterization of Findings," because it did not represent an actual open pathway inthe physical integrity of reactor containment. The inspectors determined this findinghad a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution,Corrective Action Program, because Exelon did not thoroughly evaluate the repeatMSL response time test failures to ensure the underlying causes were identified andresolved.

2RS03 ln-Plant Airborne Radioactivity Control and Mitigation (71124.03 - 1 partial sample)a. lnspection Scope During the period January 10 - 14,2011, the inspector conducted the following activities to verify that in-plant airborne concentrations of radioactive materials were being controlled and monitored, and to verify that the practices and use of respiratory protection devices were properly implemented.
 
lmplementation of these programs was evaluated against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, applicable industry standards, and the licensee's procedures.
 
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
 
Enqineerinq Controls The inspector verified that the licensee uses installed ventilation systems as part of its engineering controls (in lieu of respiratory protection devices) to control airborne radioactivity.
 
The inspector reviewed procedural guidance for use of an installed system, the control room emergency fresh air system (CREFAS) and determined that the system was operable.
 
The inspector reviewed surveillance testing procedures and related data to confirm that the CREFAS airflow capacity, flow path, and charcoal/HEPA filter efficiencies met regulatory criteria and are consistent with maintaining concentrations of airborne radioactivity as low as practicable.
 
The inspector verified the system configuration by walking down components with the cognizant system engineer.The inspector evaluated the use of in-plant continuous air monitors to determine if the monitors were appropriately located in areas where airborne radioactivity could potentially result from normal plant operations and that the systems were operable.
 
With the assistance of a senior radiation technician, the inspector observed weekly source checks of monitors located in the turbine buildings, fuel floor, reactor buildings, and technical support center, and determined that the alarm setpoints were appropriately established.
 
Through review of relevant procedures and analytical data, the inspector determined that the licensee has established an alpha and transuranic radiation monitoring program.Included in this program were trigger points for conducting additional measurements to assure that the airborne concentrations were properly characterized and that bioassay measurements were taken. should the need arise.Enclosure 15 Use of Respiratorv Protection Devices The inspector observed the respirator fit testing of four (4) individuals to determine if the testing was appropriately conducted per the procedural guidance.
 
Additionally, the inspector confirmed that the individuals tested had completed the requisite training and were medically qualified to wear a respirator.
 
The inspector examined various negative pressure, self-contained, and supplied air respiratory protection devices and determined that these devices were certified for use by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health Administration.
 
The inspector reviewed the records of air testing for supplied service air devices and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The air used in these devices appropriately exceeded the quality requirements for Grade D quality.Self-Contained Breathino Apparatus for Emeroencv Use The inspector evaluated the adequacy of the respiratory protection program regarding the maintenance and issuance of SCBA to emergency response personnel.
 
Training and qualification records were reviewed for at least three (3) licensed operators from each of the operating shifts, and for selected radiation protection personnel who would wear SCBAs in the event of an emergency.
 
The inspector observed technicians perform functional inspections on three (3) SCBAs staged in the Control Room and two (2)SCBAs staged on the Unit 2 turbine deck. Maintenance, hydrostatic test records, and flow test records for selected SCBAs, staged in other plant areas, were reviewed.
 
The method of refilling SCBA cylinders was evaluated and the compressor air sample results were reviewed to confirm that the air quality met CGA G-7.1, Grade E (2004) standards.
 
Through review of training lesson plans and interviews, the inspector confirmed that individuals qualified to wear SCBAs were trained in replacing spent air cylinders.
 
Problem ldentification and Resolution Through review of lRs and Nuclear Oversight audits and field observations, the inspector verified that problems associated with the control and mitigation of in-plant airborne radioactivity are being identified at an appropriate threshold and are properly addressed for resolution in the corrective action program.b.

Findinss and ObservationsIntroduction. The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B,Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action Program," because Exelon did not adequately evaluateand correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS ST.Description. On July 13, 2010, Exelon generated lR 1091 132 to document thatST-2-041-909-2, the Unit 2 MSL Flow - High Response Time Test, Revision 9, had failedits past two performances. ln both instances, in October 2008 and July 2010, multipleresponse time values exceeded the TS requirements, and Exelon had to replace severalrelays to bring the values back into compliance. The lR stated that the Agastat relaysbeing acquired for this application appeared to be slower than the older Agastat relays.The lR recommended several actions to address the problem, including: working withthe vendor to determine if any changes were made to the manufacturing process;evaluating whether a license amendment could be submitted to change or eliminate theTS requirement; and considering procurement of a faster relay. Of these threerecommendations, Exelon generated a formal assignment to address only the first.Assignment 3 of lR 1091132 required Materials to work with the vendor to determine ifthere were any manufacturing differences that could account for the slower responsetimes. The assignment was closed on February 3,2011 stating: "The vendor hasreviewed the data and has deemed that their manufacturing of these relays has notchanged from the originals supplied and meets the industry standards for this type ofrelay."The inspectors reviewed lR 1091 1 32 and noted that Exelon had not thoroughlyevaluated the repeat test failure and had not developed any corrective actions. Tobetter understand the history of the issue, the inspectors researched the original failedST from October 2008. The inspectors discovered that an ACE had been performed byExelon at that time, under lR 830810. The ACE identified that the Agastat relays were,by design, too slow for the intended application. The TS required response time for theMSL Flow - High circuit was 145 msec, which was a cumulative response time for onetrip unit and three relays. However, adding up the individual maximum response timesspecified by the vendor for the trip unit and three Agastat relays yielded a response timeof 199 msec. The ACE therefore concluded that "the Tech Specs required responsetime was not quite compatible with the cumulative vendor specified response time of thetrip unit and the relays." The ACE also noted that the cumulative response time of testsperformed in 2006 and 2008 were comparatively higher than those performed in earlieryears, and concluded that "based on this observation, it is suspected that the newvintage relays are slower."The 2008 ACE resulted in one CA and severalAClTs. The CA was to increase relayreplacement frequency from every six years to every four years. This was based onExelon's determination that "as a natural phenomenon, the response time of relaycontacts may increase as the relays age." The ACITs included contacting the vendor toconfirm that changes were not made to the relays that could have impacted theresponse time, and evaluating whether a TS change should be pursued to increase theEnclosure 18response time to make it more compatible with the vendor specified relay responsetimes,The inspectors determined that the CA and ACITs from 2008 did not thoroughly addressthe MSL Flow - High test failure, and the repeat test failure in 2010 was an opportunityfor Exelon to re-evaluate the issue and pursue more appropriate and timely correctiveactions. Specific rationale is provided below:. The inspectors determined the 2008 CA was not appropriate to address the slowresponse time test. The action was to increase the relay replacement frequencyfrom six years to four years. However, the inspectors noted that after the 2008 testfailure, two separate relays were replaced by Exelon to bring the response time backinto compliance. Both relays were only three years and seven months old.Additionally, when the 2010 test failure occurred, all of the relays in the affectedcircuits were less than two years old. Therefore, a four year replacement periodicitywould not have prevented either ST failure. The 2010 test failure was an opportunityto identify this inconsistency and develop a more appropriate CA.. Regarding the 2008 ACIT to contact the vendor and determine if any changes hadbeen made to the relays, the inspectors noted that the ACIT was completed inJanuary 2009. The closure documentation stated that "the supplier has confirmedthat no changes have been made that would affect [relay] quality." Yet after the testfailure in2010, the only assignment created from lR 1091132was to contact thevendor and determine if any changes had been made to the relays. A thoroughevaluation in 2010 would have revealed that this action had already been pursued -with no success'in 2008.. Regarding the 2008 ACIT to consider a TS amendment to change the response timerequirements, the inspectors noted that this action was closed in February 2009 toanother lR, lR 644942. This lR had been created by Licensingin20OT to look intoremoving TS response time requirements. Despite lR644942 being generated in2007 , and the ACIT being closed to it in 2008, as of March 2011 no actions had beentaken by Exelon to initiate the TS amendment. A thorough evaluation in 2010 mayhave allowed Exelon to pursue this action in a more timely manner.The inspectors discussed the above issues with Exelon management, who agreed thatlR 1091 132 had not been properly evaluated in 2010. Exelon generated lR 1 186147 tocapture this deficiency and perform an ACE. Corrective actions for the repeat MainSteam Line Flow - High Response Time Test failures will be developed from the sameACE.Analvsis. The inspectors determined that Exelon's failure to evaluate and correct acondition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS surveillance test was aperformance deficiency (PD). The PD was determined to be more than minor because itwas associated with the SSC & Barrier Performance attribute of the Reactor Safety -Barrier lntegrity cornerstone. This attribute includes availability and reliability of SSCsneeded to maintain the containment barrier. The PD adversely affected the cornerstoneobjective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect thepublic from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, on twodifferent instances, in 2008 and 2010, the Unit 2 MSL Flow - High Response Time Testfailed to meet the response times required by the Limerick TS, which would impact theclosure time for the main steam isolation valves. The finding was determined to be ofEnclosure 4043.1a.19very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings,"because it did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactorcontainment.The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problemldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because Exelon did notthoroughly evaluate the repeat MSL response time test failures to ensure the underlyingcauses were identified and resolved. [P.1(c)] Specifically, because Exelon did notevaluate the repeat test failure in July 2010, they did not identify that the CA from the2008 ACE was inadequate to resolve the condition, and that the ACIT to consider a TSamendment was not being pursued in a timely manner.Enforcement. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires,in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, suchas failures, deficiencies, and non-conformances, are promptly identified and corrected.Contrary to this requirement, Exelon failed to correct a condition adverse to qualityassociated with repeat failures of ST-2-041-909-2, the U2 Main Seam Line Flow - HighResponse Time Test, on October 14,2008 and July 13,2010. Because this violationwas determined to be of very low safety significance and has been entered into theExelon Corrective Action Program as lR 1 186147, it is being treated as an NCV,consistent with section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

On January 26,2011, during surveillance testing, Exelon identified that the Unit 2'A'RHR heatexchanger bypass valve position indication on the remote shutdown panelwasinoperable per TS LCO 3.3.7.4, "Remote Shutdown System Instrumentation andControls," due to excessive instrument drift. The investigation determined that the maincontrol room indication for the valve was identified as drifting out of tolerance on March20,2009. At the time of identification, operators did not identify that the loop transmitterwas the cause of the drifting indication. The transmitter is shared by the main controlroom and remote shutdown panelvalve indicators. Unit 2 entered OPCON 2 (Startup)on April 11,2009. Therefore, Unit 2 entered into an OPCON when LCO 3.3.7.4 was notmet which is contrary to TS LCO 3.0.4. The enforcement aspects of this issue arediscussed in Section 4OA7. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during thereview of the LER. This LER is closed.40A6 Meetinqs. Includino ExitOn April 8, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. W. Maguire and othermembers his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was notincluded in the inspection report.40.A7 Licensee-ldentified ViolationsThe following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by Exelonand is a violation of NRC requirements which met the criteria of the NRC EnforcementPolicy for being dispositioned as an NCV.o Unit 2 TS LCO 3.0.4 requires that, when an LCO is not met, entry into an OPCON orother condition in the Applicability shall only be made if specified conditions in LCO3.0.4 were met. TS LCO 3.3.7.4 "Remote Shutdown System lnstrumentation andControls," requires the RHR Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve (HV-C-S1-2F048A)Position Indication (0-10070) [Table 3.3.7.4-1, Instrument 15]to be restored tooperable within 7 days or be in at least Hot Shutdown within the next 12 hours withan Applicability in OPCONS 1 and 2. Contrary to LCO 3.0.4, on April 11, 2009, Unit2 entered OPCON 2 with the position indication for HV-C-51-2F048A inoperable andspecified conditions in LCO 3.0.4 were not met. The cause of the failure to meetLCO 3.0.4 was due to less than adequate administrative barriers being present toallow licensed operators to properly assess the TS impact of the deficiency. Also,operators did not use all available tools and resources at that time to validate theinitial operability determination. This issue was entered into Exelon's CAP as lR1168410. The finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green)in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening andCharacterization of Finding," Mitigating Systems, because the finding did notrepresent an actual loss of safety function or screen as potentially risk significant dueto a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.ATTACHMENT:

Unit 2 entered OPCON 2 (Startup)on April 11,2009. Therefore, Unit 2 entered into an OPCON when LCO 3.3.7.4 was not met which is contrary to TS LCO 3.0.4. The enforcement aspects of this issue are discussed in Section 4OA7. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.40A6 Meetinqs.
 
Includino Exit On April 8, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. W. Maguire and other members his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not included in the inspection report.40.A7 Licensee-ldentified Violations The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by Exelon and is a violation of NRC requirements which met the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as an NCV.o Unit 2 TS LCO 3.0.4 requires that, when an LCO is not met, entry into an OPCON or other condition in the Applicability shall only be made if specified conditions in LCO 3.0.4 were met. TS LCO 3.3.7.4 "Remote Shutdown System lnstrumentation and Controls," requires the RHR Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve (HV-C-S1-2F048A)
Position Indication (0-10070)
[Table 3.3.7.4-1, Instrument 15]to be restored to operable within 7 days or be in at least Hot Shutdown within the next 12 hours with an Applicability in OPCONS 1 and 2. Contrary to LCO 3.0.4, on April 11, 2009, Unit 2 entered OPCON 2 with the position indication for HV-C-51-2F048A inoperable and specified conditions in LCO 3.0.4 were not met. The cause of the failure to meet LCO 3.0.4 was due to less than adequate administrative barriers being present to allow licensed operators to properly assess the TS impact of the deficiency.
 
Also, operators did not use all available tools and resources at that time to validate the initial operability determination.
 
This issue was entered into Exelon's CAP as lR 1168410. The finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green)in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Finding," Mitigating Systems, because the finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function or screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.ATTACHMENT:

SUBJECT: LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC INTEGRATED I NS P ECTl O N RE PO RT 05000352/20 1 1 002 AN D 0500 0353 l 20 1 1 002

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

On March 31, 2011, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results which were discussed on April 8, 2011, with Mr. W. Maguire 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.

This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green).The finding was determined to 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. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with Section2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. lf you contest any NCV in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with basis for your denial, to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administration, Region l; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility.

lf you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding 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 RegionalAdministrator, Region I and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility.

The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. In accordance with 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 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 the NRC's document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

I R 050003521201 1002; 05000353 l2V fiA2; 01 101 1201 1 -03131 1201 1 ; Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; Problem ldentification and Resolution.

The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and a health physicist.

One Green, non-cited violation (NCV) finding was identified.

The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "significance Determination Process (SDP)." Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings were determined using IMC 0310, "Components within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated February 2010. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight," Revision 4, dated December 2006.Gornerstone:

Barrier Integrity.

Green.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action Program," because Exelon did not adequately evaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a Technical Specification (TS) surveillance test (ST). Specifically, on July 13,2010, Exelon generated issue report (lR) 1091132to document that ST-2-041-909-2,the Unit 2 Main Seam Line (MSL) Flow - High Response Time Test, had failed its past two performances.

In both instances, in October 2008 and July 2010, multiple response time values exceeded the TS requirements, and Exelon had to replace several relays to bring the values back into compliance.

After the 2008 failure Exelon performed an apparent cause evaluation (ACE) and generated one corrective action (CA) and several action items (AClTs) to address the causes. Following the 2010 failure, Exelon did not evaluate the repeat failure or generate any additional actions. The inspectors determined that the CA and ACITs from 2008 did not thoroughly address the MSL Flow - High test failure, and the repeat test failure in 2010 was an opportunity for Exelon to re-evaluate the issue and pursue more appropriate and timely corrective actions. Exelon's failure to evaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS surveillance test was determined to be a performance deficiency (PD).The PD was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the System, Structure, and Component

& Barrier Performance attribute of the Reactor Safety - Barrier lntegrity cornerstone.

The PD adversely atfected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," because it did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment.

The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because Exelon did not thoroughly evaluate the repeat MSL response time test failures to ensure the underlying causes were identified and resolved.

P.1(c) (Section 40A2.2)

4 Licensee-ldentified Violations A violation of very low safety significance, which was identified by the licensee, has been reviewed by the inspectors.

Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. This violation and corrective actions are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.Enclosure 5

REPORT DETAILS

Summarv of Plant Status Unit 1 began the inspection period operating at full rated thermal power (RTP). On January 21, operators reduced power to approximately 40 percent to facilitate troubleshooting of the 'A' main generator stator cooling water (SCW) pump discharge check valve, conduct control rod scram time testing, and conduct secondary plant maintenance.

Power was returned to full RTP on January 23. Operators performed a follow-up down power to approximately 80 percent to facilitate a control rod pattern adjustment on January 28. The unit was returned to full RTP on January 29. On March 3, operators reduced power to approximately 90 percent to facilitate closing the #4 main turbine control valve following the discovery of an electro-hydraulic control system leak from an instrument line. Following repairs, operators returned the unit to full RTP on March 5. On March 18, operators reduced power to approximately 22 percent to facilitate removing the main turbine from service to perform extent-of-condition repairs on the EHC system and other secondary plant maintenance.

The main generator was synchronized to the grid on March 20 and full RTP was attained on March 24. Later on March 24, operators conducted a planned downpower to approximately 94 percent to facilitate main turbine valve testing. Operators identified a secondary instrumentation power supply problem and performed a subsequent unplanned downpower to approximately 53 percent until repairs could be completed.

Power ascension commenced on March 26, and full RTP was attained on March 28. Unit 1 remained at full RTP for the remainder of the inspection period.Unit 2 began the inspection period operating at full RTP. On January 2, operators reduced power to approximately 88 percent to perform a control rod pattern adjustment.

The unit was restored to full RTP later that day. On January 8, a planned downpower to approximately 90 percent was performed to facilitate control rod scram time testing. The unit was returned to full RTP later that day. On January 18, Unit 2 entered end-of-cycle coastdown and feedwater temperature reduction operations, as planned, in advance of the Unit 2 refueling outage. On February 25, operators inserted an unplanned manual scram per procedural requirements following a main turbine runback and the loss of both reactor recirculation pumps (RRPs) due to a sensed high temperature condition on the main generator SCW system. On February 26 operators placed Unit 2 in Operational Condition (OPCON) 4 (Cold Shutdown)to facilitate starting the 'A' RRP. A reactor startup was commenced later that day, and the main generator was synchronized to the grid on February 28. Full RTP was attained on March 2. On March 3 operators performed a follow-up downpower to approximately 75 percent to facilitate a control rod pattern adjustment, and the unit was returned to full RTP later that day. On March 27, operators commenced a reactor shutdown from a maximum attainable power of 89 percent to commence refueling outage 2R11. Unit 2 remained in the refueling outage for the remainder of the inspection period.1. REACTORSAFETY Cornerstones:

b. Findinss and Observations

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action Program," because Exelon did not adequately evaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS ST.Description.

On July 13, 2010, Exelon generated lR 1091 132 to document that ST-2-041-909-2, the Unit 2 MSL Flow - High Response Time Test, Revision 9, had failed its past two performances.

ln both instances, in October 2008 and July 2010, multiple response time values exceeded the TS requirements, and Exelon had to replace several relays to bring the values back into compliance.

The lR stated that the Agastat relays being acquired for this application appeared to be slower than the older Agastat relays.The lR recommended several actions to address the problem, including:

working with the vendor to determine if any changes were made to the manufacturing process;evaluating whether a license amendment could be submitted to change or eliminate the TS requirement; and considering procurement of a faster relay. Of these three recommendations, Exelon generated a formal assignment to address only the first.Assignment 3 of lR 1091132 required Materials to work with the vendor to determine if there were any manufacturing differences that could account for the slower response times. The assignment was closed on February 3,2011 stating: "The vendor has reviewed the data and has deemed that their manufacturing of these relays has not changed from the originals supplied and meets the industry standards for this type of relay." The inspectors reviewed lR 1091 1 32 and noted that Exelon had not thoroughly evaluated the repeat test failure and had not developed any corrective actions. To better understand the history of the issue, the inspectors researched the original failed ST from October 2008. The inspectors discovered that an ACE had been performed by Exelon at that time, under lR 830810. The ACE identified that the Agastat relays were, by design, too slow for the intended application.

The TS required response time for the MSL Flow - High circuit was 145 msec, which was a cumulative response time for one trip unit and three relays. However, adding up the individual maximum response times specified by the vendor for the trip unit and three Agastat relays yielded a response time of 199 msec. The ACE therefore concluded that "the Tech Specs required response time was not quite compatible with the cumulative vendor specified response time of the trip unit and the relays." The ACE also noted that the cumulative response time of tests performed in 2006 and 2008 were comparatively higher than those performed in earlier years, and concluded that "based on this observation, it is suspected that the new vintage relays are slower." The 2008 ACE resulted in one CA and severalAClTs.

The CA was to increase relay replacement frequency from every six years to every four years. This was based on Exelon's determination that "as a natural phenomenon, the response time of relay contacts may increase as the relays age." The ACITs included contacting the vendor to confirm that changes were not made to the relays that could have impacted the response time, and evaluating whether a TS change should be pursued to increase the Enclosure 18 response time to make it more compatible with the vendor specified relay response times, The inspectors determined that the CA and ACITs from 2008 did not thoroughly address the MSL Flow - High test failure, and the repeat test failure in 2010 was an opportunity for Exelon to re-evaluate the issue and pursue more appropriate and timely corrective actions. Specific rationale is provided below:. The inspectors determined the 2008 CA was not appropriate to address the slow response time test. The action was to increase the relay replacement frequency from six years to four years. However, the inspectors noted that after the 2008 test failure, two separate relays were replaced by Exelon to bring the response time back into compliance.

Both relays were only three years and seven months old.Additionally, when the 2010 test failure occurred, all of the relays in the affected circuits were less than two years old. Therefore, a four year replacement periodicity would not have prevented either ST failure. The 2010 test failure was an opportunity to identify this inconsistency and develop a more appropriate CA.. Regarding the 2008 ACIT to contact the vendor and determine if any changes had been made to the relays, the inspectors noted that the ACIT was completed in January 2009. The closure documentation stated that "the supplier has confirmed that no changes have been made that would affect [relay] quality." Yet after the test failure in2010, the only assignment created from lR 1091132was to contact the vendor and determine if any changes had been made to the relays. A thorough evaluation in 2010 would have revealed that this action had already been pursued -with no success'in 2008.. Regarding the 2008 ACIT to consider a TS amendment to change the response time requirements, the inspectors noted that this action was closed in February 2009 to another lR, lR 644942. This lR had been created by Licensingin20OT to look into removing TS response time requirements.

Despite lR644942 being generated in 2007 , and the ACIT being closed to it in 2008, as of March 2011 no actions had been taken by Exelon to initiate the TS amendment.

A thorough evaluation in 2010 may have allowed Exelon to pursue this action in a more timely manner.The inspectors discussed the above issues with Exelon management, who agreed that lR 1091 132 had not been properly evaluated in 2010. Exelon generated lR 1 186147 to capture this deficiency and perform an ACE. Corrective actions for the repeat Main Steam Line Flow - High Response Time Test failures will be developed from the same ACE.Analvsis.

The inspectors determined that Exelon's failure to evaluate and correct a condition adverse to quality regarding repeat failures of a TS surveillance test was a performance deficiency (PD). The PD was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the SSC & Barrier Performance attribute of the Reactor Safety -Barrier lntegrity cornerstone.

This attribute includes availability and reliability of SSCs needed to maintain the containment barrier. The PD 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, on two different instances, in 2008 and 2010, the Unit 2 MSL Flow - High Response Time Test failed to meet the response times required by the Limerick TS, which would impact the closure time for the main steam isolation valves. The finding was determined to be of Enclosure 4043.1 a.19 very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," because it did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment.

The inspectors determined this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because Exelon did not thoroughly evaluate the repeat MSL response time test failures to ensure the underlying causes were identified and resolved.

P.1(c) Specifically, because Exelon did not evaluate the repeat test failure in July 2010, they did not identify that the CA from the 2008 ACE was inadequate to resolve the condition, and that the ACIT to consider a TS amendment was not being pursued in a timely manner.Enforcement.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, deficiencies, and non-conformances, are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to this requirement, Exelon failed to correct a condition adverse to quality associated with repeat failures of ST-2-041-909-2, the U2 Main Seam Line Flow - High Response Time Test, on October 14,2008 and July 13,2010. Because this violation was determined to be of very low safety significance and has been entered into the Exelon Corrective Action Program as lR 1 186147, it is being treated as an NCV, consistent with section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000352, 353/2011001-01, Failure to Address Repeat TS Response Time Test Failures.)

Event Follow-up (71153

  • 3 samples)Plant Events Inspection Scope For the three plant events listed below, the inspectors reviewed and/or observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems. The inspectors communicated the plant events to appropriate regional personnel and compared the event details with criteria contained in lnspection Manual Chapter 0309, "Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors," for consideration of potential reactive inspection activities.

As applicable, the inspectors verified that Exelon made appropriate emergency action classification assessments and properly reported the event in accordance with '10 CFR Parts 50.72 and 50.73. The inspectors reviewed Exelon's follow-up actions related to the events to assure that appropriate corrective actions were implemented commensurate with their safety significance.

o Fairbanks Morse EDG Part 21 impact on EDG D23;o Unit 2 manual scram due to loss of recirculation pumps following a SCW runback on February 25,2011; and o Unit 1 unplanned down power to 90 percent on March 3 due to electro-hydraulic control system leak on #4 control valve instrument fitting.Findinqs No findings were identified.

b.Enclosure 20.2 Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000353/2011001-00:

Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications due to lnoperable Remote Shutdown Panel lnstrument.

On January 26, 2011, during surveillance testing, Exelon identified that the Unit 2'A'RHR heat exchanger bypass valve position indication on the remote shutdown panelwas inoperable per TS LCO 3.3.7.4, "Remote Shutdown System Instrumentation and Controls," due to excessive instrument drift. The investigation determined that the main control room indication for the valve was identified as drifting out of tolerance on March 20,2009. At the time of identification, operators did not identify that the loop transmitter was the cause of the drifting indication.

The transmitter is shared by the main control room and remote shutdown panelvalve indicators.

Unit 2 entered OPCON 2 (Startup)on April 11,2009. Therefore, Unit 2 entered into an OPCON when LCO 3.3.7.4 was not met which is contrary to TS LCO 3.0.4. The enforcement aspects of this issue are discussed in Section 4OA7. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.40A6 Meetinqs.

Includino Exit On April 8, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. W. Maguire and other members his staff. The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not included in the inspection report.40.A7 Licensee-ldentified Violations The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by Exelon and is a violation of NRC requirements which met the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as an NCV.o Unit 2 TS LCO 3.0.4 requires that, when an LCO is not met, entry into an OPCON or other condition in the Applicability shall only be made if specified conditions in LCO 3.0.4 were met. TS LCO 3.3.7.4 "Remote Shutdown System lnstrumentation and Controls," requires the RHR Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve (HV-C-S1-2F048A)

Position Indication (0-10070)

[Table 3.3.7.4-1, Instrument 15]to be restored to operable within 7 days or be in at least Hot Shutdown within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> with an Applicability in OPCONS 1 and 2. Contrary to LCO 3.0.4, on April 11, 2009, Unit 2 entered OPCON 2 with the position indication for HV-C-51-2F048A inoperable and specified conditions in LCO 3.0.4 were not met. The cause of the failure to meet LCO 3.0.4 was due to less than adequate administrative barriers being present to allow licensed operators to properly assess the TS impact of the deficiency.

Also, operators did not use all available tools and resources at that time to validate the initial operability determination.

This issue was entered into Exelon's CAP as lR 1168410. The finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green)in accordance with NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Finding," Mitigating Systems, because the finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function or screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event.ATTACHMENT:
