Areas.This report covered a 3-month inspection by region based reactor inspectors and residentinspectors. One Green, self-revealing, noncited violation was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management's review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercialnuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3,dated July 2000.A. | |||
===NRC-Identified and Self Revealing Findings=== | |||
===Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety=== | |||
: '''Green.''' | |||
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of TechnicalSpecification 5.7.2 because AmerenUE failed to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour. Specifically, on September 26, 2005, the reactor vessel head was moved from the head stand and placed back on the reactor vessel without the proper radiological controls in place for a high radiation area with dose rates as high as 6.0 rem per hour. A loud noise created by the falling of a locking device on the reactor head alerted radiation protection personnel that the head lift had begun prematurely. AmerenUE's immediate corrective actions were to ensure that individuals were not present in the high radiation area and to place the reactor head in a safe condition on the reactor vessel. The finding was entered into AmerenUE's corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200507546. The failure to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 remper hour is a performance deficiency. The finding was greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of a worker's health and safety from exposure to radiation. The finding involved the potential for a worker's unplanned or unintended dose resulting from actions contrary to Technical Specifications. | |||
When processed through the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. In addition, this finding hascrosscutting aspects associated with human perform ance bec ause poorcoordination and communication between the head lift crew and radiation protection personnel directly contributed to the finding (Section 2OS1). | |||

Plant StatusThe Callaway Plant was shut down for Refueling Outage 14 at the beginning of the inspectionperiod. Outage work included steam generator replacement and a major turbine overhaul. | |||
AmerenUE completed the refueling outage and synchronized the generator to the grid onNovember 19, 2005. AmerenUE returned to full power operations on November 23, 2005. | |||
AmerenUE operated the plant at full power for the remainder of the inspection period. | |||
==REACTOR SAFETY== | |||
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity1R08Inservice Inspection Activities (71111.08)Inspection Procedure 71111.08 requires a minimum sample size of four (as identified inSections 02.01, 02.02, 02.03, and 02.04 of the procedure).Section 02.01:Performance of Nondestructive Examination Activities Other ThanSteam Generator Tube Inspections, Pressurized Water Reactor VesselUpper Head Penetration Inspections, Boric Acid Corrosion Control | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspection procedure requires the review of nondestructive examination (NDE)activities consisting of two or three different types (i.e., volumetric, surface, or visual). | |||
The inspectors witnessed the performance of 10 ultrasonic examinations (volumetric)and 3 radiographic examinations (volumetric) on seven welds. In addition, the inspectors reviewed 4 visual examination reports representing two VT-1 examinations and 2 VT-3 examinations. The table below identifies the above examinations, which were conducted using three methods and two examination types.ComponentIdentityExaminationTypeExamination MethodSafety injection systempipe-to-pipe weld2-EP-02-3066C-WDC-001, FW 1VolumetricUltrasonic(UT Reports UT-05-105 and -106)Safety injection systempipe-to-pipe weld2-EP-02-3066B-WDC-001-FW 1VolumetricUltrasonic(UT Reports UT-05-089 and -090)Residual heat removalsystem pipe-to-pipe weld2-EJ-04-3066C-WDC-002-FW 2Volumetric Ultrasonic(UT Reports UT-05-109 and -110 ComponentIdentityExaminationTypeExamination MethodEnclosure-4-Residual heat removalsystem pipe-to-pipe weld2-EJ-04-3066B-WDC-002-FW 2VolumetricUltrasonic(UT Reports UT-05-091 and -092) Residual heat removalsystem pipe-to-pipe weld2-EJ-04-3066A-WDC-001-FW 1VolumetricUltrasonic(UT Reports UT-05-072 and -073) Safety injection systempipe-to-pipe weld 3066C-WDC-002-FW 2VolumetricRadiographyMain steam line systempipe-to-pipe weld3080D-WDC-004-FW 4Volumetric Radiography Pressurizer safety reliefvalve BB 8010B VisualVisual VT-1 (Report05040-05-006)Bolting on residual heatremoval system valveEJVH 8701AVisualVisual VT-1(Report 05040-05- | |||

005)For each of the NDE activities reviewed, the inspectors verified that the examinationswere performed in accordance with the specific site procedures and the applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) requirements.During review of each examination, the inspectors verified that appropriate NDEprocedures were used, that examinations and conditions were as specified in the procedure, and that test instrumentation or equipment was properly calibrated and withinthe allowable calibration period. The inspectors also verified the NDE certifications of the personnel who performed the above ultrasonic and radiographic examinations. | |||
Finally, the inspectors observed that indications identified during the ultrasonic and radiographic examinations were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME qualified NDE procedures used to perform the examinations.The inspection procedure required review of one or two examinations with recordableindications that were accepted for continued service, to ensure that the disposition wasmade in accordance with the ASME Code. The inspectors reviewed Corrective Action | |||
-5-Report 200403580, which documented the identification of flaws in cold leg inlet nozzlesafe end-to-elbow Weld 2-BB-01-F302. The flaws were identified and documented on April 30, 2004, during the volumetric examinations conducted during Refueling Outage 13. AmerenUE contracted to have an analytical evaluation performed by Westinghouse and Structural Integrity Associates in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, IWB-3640, which provides the specific rules for the performance of such evaluations. The results of the evaluation supported continued unit operation for3-years leaving the flaws as-is (i.e., no repairs required at this time). | |||
The inspection procedure further required verification of one to three welds on Class 1or 2 pressure boundary piping to ensure that the welding process and welding examinations were performed in accordance with the ASME Code. The inspectors observed portions of welding performed on the two weld joints identified in the table below.

The inspectors also verified, through observation and record review, that essential variables for the gas tungsten arc welding process and the shielded metal arc welding process had been identified, recorded in the procedure qualification record, and formed the bases for qualification of the welding procedure specifications. The inspectors also verified that weld filler materials were properly stored and controlled(there were two welding material issue areas) and that proper administrative controls were being implemented with respect to issuance and return of weld filler materials.The inspectors completed one sample under this section. | |||
====b. Findings==== | |||
No findings of significance were identified. | |||
Section 02.02: Reactor Vessel Upper Head Penetration Inspection Activities The inspection procedure requires this section to be performed after completion ofTemporary Instruction TI 2515/150. The TI had not been completed at the time of this inspection, thus this section was not performed. | |||
-6-Section 02.03:Boric Acid Corrosion Control Inspection Activities (Pressurized WaterReactors) | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspectors evaluated the implementation of AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion controlprogram for monitoring degradation of those systems that could be deleteriouslyaffected by boric acid corrosion.The inspection procedure requires review of a sample of boric acid corrosion controlwalkdown visual examination activities through either direct observation or record review. The inspectors reviewed the documentation associated with AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion control walkdown as specified in Procedure EDP-ZZ-01004, "Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program," Revision 003. Visual records of the components and equipment were also reviewed by the inspectors. Additionally, the inspectors independently performed examinations of piping containingboric acid during a walkdown of the containment building, the auxiliary building, and thesafeguards pump rooms. The inspection procedure requires verification that visual inspections emphasizelocations where boric acid leaks can cause degradation of safety significant components. The inspectors verified through direct observation and program/record review that AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion control inspection efforts are directed toward locations where boric acid leaks can cause degradation of safety-related components. The inspection procedure requires both a review of one to three engineering evaluationsperformed for boric acid leaks found on reactor coolant system piping and componentsand one to three corrective actions performed for identified boric acid leaks. The inspectors reviewed engineering evaluations associated with Corrective Action Reports 200506558, 200507149, 200507404, 200507416, and 200507245, which addressed boric acid leaks identified on residual heat removal system boltedconnections, pumps, valve stems on three safety injection accumulator valves, and a safety injection accumulator check valve. The evaluations appropriately addressed the causes and corrective actions. The inspectors completed one sample. | |||
====b. Findings==== | |||
No findings of significance were identified. | |||

====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The inspection procedure requires this section to be performed on existing steamgenerators. However, AmerenUE replaced the four steam generators during this outage, and the inspections required by the inspection procedure were not performed. | |||
Section 02.05:Identification and Resolution of Problems | |||
====a. Inspection scope==== | |||
The inspection procedure requires review of a sample of problems associated with inservice inspections documented by AmerenUE in the corrective action program for appropriateness of the corrective actions.The inspectors reviewed 12 corrective action reports which dealt with inserviceinspection activities and found the corrective actions were appropriate. From this review the inspectors concluded that AmerenUE had an appropriate threshold for entering issues into the corrective action program and has procedures that direct a root cause evaluation when necessary. AmerenUE also had an effective program for applying industry operating experience. | |||

==1R17 Evaluation of Permanent Plant Modifications for Steam Generator Replacement(71111.17)== | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
The procedure requires the review of a minimum of five permanent plant modifications. The inspectors reviewed 17 Engineering Change Notices associated with permanent plant modification Package 03-1011, Replacement Steam Generator Installation, Revision 0, including safety evaluation screenings, safety evaluations, and calculations, to verify that they were performed in accordance with plant procedures. The specific modifications reviewed are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors also reviewed the procedures governing plant modifications to evaluate the effectiveness of programs for implementing modifications to risk-significant systems, structures, and components,such that these changes did not adversely affect the design and licensing basis of the facility. As part of this review, the inspectors reviewed modification packages and safetyevaluations associated with the steam generator replacement. The inspectors interviewed the cognizant design and system engineers for the identifiedmodifications as to their understanding of the modification packages. The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness of AmerenUE's corrective action process toidentify and correct problems concerning the performance of permanent plant modifications. In this effort, the inspectors reviewed two corrective action documents and the subsequent corrective actions pertaining to licensee-identified problems and errors in the performance of permanent plant modifications. The inspectors completed one sample. | |||

====b. Findings==== | |||
=====Introduction:===== | |||
The inspector reviewed a Green self-revealing noncited violation ofTechnical Specification 5.7.2 because AmerenUE failed to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour. | |||
=====Description:===== | |||
On September 26, 2005, AmerenUE moved the reactor vessel head fromthe head stand back to the reactor vessel without the proper radiological controls in place for a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour. Radiation Protection personnel were in the process of establishing new radiological postings, barricades, and flashing lights when they were alerted to a premature lift of the reactor vessel head by a loud noise that was created by the locking device falling off the reactorhead. After Radiation Protection personnel observed that the head lift had begun, theyimmediately proceeded to ensure that no individuals were in the high radiation area where general area dose rates were as high as 6.0 rem per hour. The lift continued and the head was moved safely to the reactor vessel. Upon review of the event, it was determined that the head lift crew notified radiation protection personnel that the headlift was going to begin and radiation protection personnel acknowledged this notification. | |||
However, radiation protection personnel covering the job did not understand that thehead lift was going to begin immediately. Therefore, proper controls were not in place to ensure no individuals gained unauthorized access to the high radiation area.Analysis: The failure to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than1.0 rem per hour is a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because it affected the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation and is associated with the cornerstone attribute of program and process. The finding involved the potential for a worker's unplanned or unintended dose resulting from actions contrary to Technical Specifications. When the finding was processed through the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, it was determined to be a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential foran overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised.Enforcement: Technical Specification 5.7.2, states, in part, that individual high radiationareas with radiation levels greater than or equal to 1.0 rem per hour accessible to personnel and located within large areas such as reactor containment where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking or being continuously guarded, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device. On September 26, 2005, radiation workers had the potential to be exposed to aradiation field greater than 1.0 rem per hour because AmerenUE failed to post, barricade, and activate a clearly visible flashing light as a warning device in the area. | |||
Because the finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200507546, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC EnforcementPolicy: NCV 50-483/2005009-01, Failure to Control a High Radiation Area with Dose Rates Greater than 1.0 Rem per Hour. | |||
-13-2OS2ALARA Planning and Controls (71121.02) | |||

====b. Findings==== | |||
No findings of significance were identified.3.Lifting of Heavy Loads | |||
====a. Inspection Scope==== | |||
Part b. in Section 02.03, "Steam Generator Removal and Replacement Inspections," ofInspection Procedure 50001 requires review and inspection of the following activities: *Review activities associated with lifting and rigging, including preparations andprocedures for rigging and heavy lifting and any required crane and rigging inspections, testing, equipment modifications, lay-down area preparations, and training. Observation | |||
: On September 29, 2005, the Mommoet operator satisfactorily performed functionalchecks of the strand jack assembly of the temporary lifting device (TLD) outside of thecontainment prior to its placement inside the containment. The hydraulic power units were not on the TLD platform and the hydraulic hoses were removed prior to moving the TLD into the containment. | |||
-20-On October 1, 2005, the TLD was assembled on the cavity deck and lifted up to thepolar crane girders with the main girder, support legs, work platform, and strand jack with the associated hoses attached and the strand wires installed. The hydraulic hoses to the strand jack and electrical power were then connected to the power pack (controls). This was the first time that the TLD was fully assembled and powered up at the Callaway site as a complete unit. At this point, Mammoet and the Steam Generating Team personnel cleared the cavity deck in preparation for the functional test (TLD had not been declared operable). The Mammoet operator continued the set up of the strandjack assembly which required him to short stroke the wires through the strand jack. | |||
During this first evolution all of the strand wires slipped out of the jack and fell approximately 100 feet to the Reactor cavity deck. AmerenUE performed an event team review and identified several contributing causesto the event. These included: the hydraulic hoses had been reversed (top to bottom); | |||
the power pack was not capable of checking for reverse connection of the hydraulic hoses; the procedures were not specific for connecting the hydraulic hoses; and the hoses were not uniquely fitted for their application. These contributing causes werecommunicated to other facilities utilizing this TLD. | |||

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000483/2005009; 10/1/05 - 12/31/05; Callaway Plant; Integrated Resident and RegionalReport of Steam Generator Replacement Activities; Access Control to Radiologically Significant
Areas.This report covered a 3-month inspection by region based reactor inspectors and residentinspectors. One Green, self-revealing, noncited violation was identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management's review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercialnuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3,dated July 2000.A.
NRC-Identified and Self Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety
- Green.
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of TechnicalSpecification 5.7.2 because AmerenUE failed to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour. Specifically, on September 26, 2005, the reactor vessel head was moved from the head stand and placed back on the reactor vessel without the proper radiological controls in place for a high radiation area with dose rates as high as 6.0 rem per hour. A loud noise created by the falling of a locking device on the reactor head alerted radiation protection personnel that the head lift had begun prematurely. AmerenUE's immediate corrective actions were to ensure that individuals were not present in the high radiation area and to place the reactor head in a safe condition on the reactor vessel. The finding was entered into AmerenUE's corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200507546. The failure to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 remper hour is a performance deficiency. The finding was greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of a worker's health and safety from exposure to radiation. The finding involved the potential for a worker's unplanned or unintended dose resulting from actions contrary to Technical Specifications.
When processed through the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. In addition, this finding hascrosscutting aspects associated with human perform ance bec ause poorcoordination and communication between the head lift crew and radiation protection personnel directly contributed to the finding (Section 2OS1).

005)For each of the NDE activities reviewed, the inspectors verified that the examinationswere performed in accordance with the specific site procedures and the applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code) requirements.During review of each examination, the inspectors verified that appropriate NDEprocedures were used, that examinations and conditions were as specified in the procedure, and that test instrumentation or equipment was properly calibrated and withinthe allowable calibration period. The inspectors also verified the NDE certifications of the personnel who performed the above ultrasonic and radiographic examinations.
Finally, the inspectors observed that indications identified during the ultrasonic and radiographic examinations were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME qualified NDE procedures used to perform the examinations.The inspection procedure required review of one or two examinations with recordableindications that were accepted for continued service, to ensure that the disposition wasmade in accordance with the ASME Code. The inspectors reviewed Corrective Action
-5-Report 200403580, which documented the identification of flaws in cold leg inlet nozzlesafe end-to-elbow Weld 2-BB-01-F302. The flaws were identified and documented on April 30, 2004, during the volumetric examinations conducted during Refueling Outage 13. AmerenUE contracted to have an analytical evaluation performed by Westinghouse and Structural Integrity Associates in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, IWB-3640, which provides the specific rules for the performance of such evaluations. The results of the evaluation supported continued unit operation for3-years leaving the flaws as-is (i.e., no repairs required at this time).
The inspection procedure further required verification of one to three welds on Class 1or 2 pressure boundary piping to ensure that the welding process and welding examinations were performed in accordance with the ASME Code. The inspectors observed portions of welding performed on the two weld joints identified in the table below.

The inspectors also verified, through observation and record review, that essential variables for the gas tungsten arc welding process and the shielded metal arc welding process had been identified, recorded in the procedure qualification record, and formed the bases for qualification of the welding procedure specifications. The inspectors also verified that weld filler materials were properly stored and controlled(there were two welding material issue areas) and that proper administrative controls were being implemented with respect to issuance and return of weld filler materials.The inspectors completed one sample under this section.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
Section 02.02: Reactor Vessel Upper Head Penetration Inspection Activities The inspection procedure requires this section to be performed after completion ofTemporary Instruction TI 2515/150. The TI had not been completed at the time of this inspection, thus this section was not performed.
-6-Section 02.03:Boric Acid Corrosion Control Inspection Activities (Pressurized WaterReactors)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the implementation of AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion controlprogram for monitoring degradation of those systems that could be deleteriouslyaffected by boric acid corrosion.The inspection procedure requires review of a sample of boric acid corrosion controlwalkdown visual examination activities through either direct observation or record review. The inspectors reviewed the documentation associated with AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion control walkdown as specified in Procedure EDP-ZZ-01004, "Boric Acid Corrosion Control Program," Revision 003. Visual records of the components and equipment were also reviewed by the inspectors. Additionally, the inspectors independently performed examinations of piping containingboric acid during a walkdown of the containment building, the auxiliary building, and thesafeguards pump rooms. The inspection procedure requires verification that visual inspections emphasizelocations where boric acid leaks can cause degradation of safety significant components. The inspectors verified through direct observation and program/record review that AmerenUE's boric acid corrosion control inspection efforts are directed toward locations where boric acid leaks can cause degradation of safety-related components. The inspection procedure requires both a review of one to three engineering evaluationsperformed for boric acid leaks found on reactor coolant system piping and componentsand one to three corrective actions performed for identified boric acid leaks. The inspectors reviewed engineering evaluations associated with Corrective Action Reports 200506558, 200507149, 200507404, 200507416, and 200507245, which addressed boric acid leaks identified on residual heat removal system boltedconnections, pumps, valve stems on three safety injection accumulator valves, and a safety injection accumulator check valve. The evaluations appropriately addressed the causes and corrective actions. The inspectors completed one sample.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
-7-Section 02.04:Steam Generator Tube Inspection Activities
a. Inspection Scope
The inspection procedure requires this section to be performed on existing steamgenerators. However, AmerenUE replaced the four steam generators during this outage, and the inspections required by the inspection procedure were not performed.
Section 02.05:Identification and Resolution of Problems
a. Inspection scope
The inspection procedure requires review of a sample of problems associated with inservice inspections documented by AmerenUE in the corrective action program for appropriateness of the corrective actions.The inspectors reviewed 12 corrective action reports which dealt with inserviceinspection activities and found the corrective actions were appropriate. From this review the inspectors concluded that AmerenUE had an appropriate threshold for entering issues into the corrective action program and has procedures that direct a root cause evaluation when necessary. AmerenUE also had an effective program for applying industry operating experience.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed two risk evaluations and overall plant configuration controls forselected activities to verify compliance with Procedures EDP-ZZ-01129, "Callaway Plant Risk Assessment, Revision 8, and APA-ZZ-00150, "Outage Preparation and Execution, Revision 17.

b. Findings
Introduction:
The inspector reviewed a Green self-revealing noncited violation ofTechnical Specification 5.7.2 because AmerenUE failed to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour.
Description:
On September 26, 2005, AmerenUE moved the reactor vessel head fromthe head stand back to the reactor vessel without the proper radiological controls in place for a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem per hour. Radiation Protection personnel were in the process of establishing new radiological postings, barricades, and flashing lights when they were alerted to a premature lift of the reactor vessel head by a loud noise that was created by the locking device falling off the reactorhead. After Radiation Protection personnel observed that the head lift had begun, theyimmediately proceeded to ensure that no individuals were in the high radiation area where general area dose rates were as high as 6.0 rem per hour. The lift continued and the head was moved safely to the reactor vessel. Upon review of the event, it was determined that the head lift crew notified radiation protection personnel that the headlift was going to begin and radiation protection personnel acknowledged this notification.
However, radiation protection personnel covering the job did not understand that thehead lift was going to begin immediately. Therefore, proper controls were not in place to ensure no individuals gained unauthorized access to the high radiation area.Analysis: The failure to control a high radiation area with dose rates greater than1.0 rem per hour is a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because it affected the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation and is associated with the cornerstone attribute of program and process. The finding involved the potential for a worker's unplanned or unintended dose resulting from actions contrary to Technical Specifications. When the finding was processed through the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, it was determined to be a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential foran overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised.Enforcement: Technical Specification 5.7.2, states, in part, that individual high radiationareas with radiation levels greater than or equal to 1.0 rem per hour accessible to personnel and located within large areas such as reactor containment where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking or being continuously guarded, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device. On September 26, 2005, radiation workers had the potential to be exposed to aradiation field greater than 1.0 rem per hour because AmerenUE failed to post, barricade, and activate a clearly visible flashing light as a warning device in the area.
Because the finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 200507546, this violation is being treated as a noncited violation consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC EnforcementPolicy: NCV 50-483/2005009-01, Failure to Control a High Radiation Area with Dose Rates Greater than 1.0 Rem per Hour.
-13-2OS2ALARA Planning and Controls (71121.02)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspector assessed licensee performance with respect to maintaining individual andcollective radiation exposures ALARA with respect to the steam generator replacement activities. The inspector used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20 and AmerenUE's procedures required by Technical Specifications as criteria for determining compliance.
The inspector interviewed licensee personnel and reviewed:*Eight outage work activities scheduled during the inspection period andassociated work activity exposure estimates which were likely to result in the highest personnel collective exposures*Site-specific ALARA procedures
- ALARA work activity evaluations, exposure estimates, and exposure mitigationrequirements*Intended versus actual work activity doses and the reasons for anyinconsistencies *Interfacing between operations, radiation protection, maintenance, maintenanceplanning, scheduling, and engineering groups*Person-hour estimates provided by maintenance planning and other groups tothe radiation protection group with the actual work activity time requirements *Dose rate reduction activities in work planning
- Assumptions and basis for the current annual collective exposure estimate, themethodology for estimating work activity exposures, the intended dose outcome, and the accuracy of dose rate and man-hour estimates*Method for adjusting exposure estimates, or replanning work, when unexpectedchanges in scope or emergent work were encountered*Use of engineering controls to achieve dose reductions and dose reductionbenefits afforded by shielding*Exposures of individuals from selected work groups
- Corrective action documents related to the ALARA program and follow-upactivities such as initial problem identification, characterization, and tracking *Effectiveness of self-assessment activities with respect to identifying andaddressing repetitive deficiencies or significant individual deficiencies

a. Inspection Scope
Part b. in Section 02.03, "Steam Generator Removal and Replacement Inspections," ofInspection Procedure 50001 requires review and inspection of the following activities: *Review activities associated with lifting and rigging, including preparations andprocedures for rigging and heavy lifting and any required crane and rigging inspections, testing, equipment modifications, lay-down area preparations, and training. Observation
- On September 29, 2005, the Mommoet operator satisfactorily performed functionalchecks of the strand jack assembly of the temporary lifting device (TLD) outside of thecontainment prior to its placement inside the containment. The hydraulic power units were not on the TLD platform and the hydraulic hoses were removed prior to moving the TLD into the containment.
-20-On October 1, 2005, the TLD was assembled on the cavity deck and lifted up to thepolar crane girders with the main girder, support legs, work platform, and strand jack with the associated hoses attached and the strand wires installed. The hydraulic hoses to the strand jack and electrical power were then connected to the power pack (controls). This was the first time that the TLD was fully assembled and powered up at the Callaway site as a complete unit. At this point, Mammoet and the Steam Generating Team personnel cleared the cavity deck in preparation for the functional test (TLD had not been declared operable). The Mammoet operator continued the set up of the strandjack assembly which required him to short stroke the wires through the strand jack.
During this first evolution all of the strand wires slipped out of the jack and fell approximately 100 feet to the Reactor cavity deck. AmerenUE performed an event team review and identified several contributing causesto the event. These included: the hydraulic hoses had been reversed (top to bottom);
the power pack was not capable of checking for reverse connection of the hydraulic hoses; the procedures were not specific for connecting the hydraulic hoses; and the hoses were not uniquely fitted for their application. These contributing causes werecommunicated to other facilities utilizing this TLD.
