17265 River Road Killona, LA  70057-0751
The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced
Manager, Licensing Entergy Operations, Inc.  
baseline inspections by regional based inspectors. One Green noncited violation of significance
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 review. The NRC's program for overseeing
the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor
Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.
A.      NRC-Identified Findings and Self-Revealing Findings
        Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
        Green. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical specification
        3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications require all four
        channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,
        and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1. These Channel B
        instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument, which was
        previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument inoperable,
        the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and reactor
        coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable. The licensee
        entered this finding in their corrective action program as condition reports CR-WF3-
        2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407.
        The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour was more
        than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating
        systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that
        proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained. Also, if left
        uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be
        inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications
        was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual
        loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making
        component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the
        validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to
        comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B
        inoperable and not placing local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,
        and reactor coolant flow instrument channels in either bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).
        (Section 1R15)
B.      Licensee-Identified Violations

                                        REPORT DETAILS
Chairman Louisiana Public Service Commission
Summary of Plant Status
P.O. Box 91154
The plant began the inspection period on July 8, 2009, at 100 percent power and remained at
approximately 100 percent power for the rest of the inspection period.
1.    REACTOR SAFETY
      Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and
      Emergency Preparedness
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01)
.1    Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions
  a. Inspection Scope
      Since thunderstorms with potential tornados and high winds were forecast in the vicinity
      of the facility for October 4, 2009, the inspectors reviewed the licensees overall
      preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. The inspectors evaluated
      the licensee staffs documented preparations against the sites procedures and
      determined that the staffs actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors
      focused on plant-specific design features and the licensees procedures used to respond
      to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspector's evaluated operator staffing and
      accessibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant.
      Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and
      verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant-specific procedures.
      Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.
      These activities constitute completion of one readiness for impending adverse weather
      condition sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01-05.
  b.  Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignments (71111.04)
.1    Partial Walkdown
  a.  Inspection Scope
      The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant
      systems:
      *      July 22, 2009: Chemical volume control Train A
      *      August 12, 2009: Emergency feedwater Train A
      *      August 13, 2009: Low pressure safety injection Train B

                                              -3-                                    Enclosure


Baton Rouge, LA  70821-9154
      The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the
Parish President Council
      reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted
St. Charles Parish P.O. Box 302
      to identify any discrepancies that could affect the function of the system, and, therefore,
Hahnville, LA  70057 Director, Nuclear Safety & Licensing Entergy, Operations, Inc.  
      potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures,
      system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, technical specification
      requirements, administrative technical specifications, outstanding work orders, 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 system components and support equipment were
      aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the
      components 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
      corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Specific
      documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.
      These activities constitute completion of five partial system walkdown samples as
      defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.04-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)
.1    Quarterly Fire Inspection Tours
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns that were focused on availability,
      accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant
      plant areas:
      *        July 21, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 8B, 8C, 11, and 12
      *        July 22, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 33, 35, 38, and 39
      *        July 30, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 3, 5, and 6
      *        August 3, 2009: Fire Zones Roof E and Roof W
      *        August 11, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zone 16
      *        August 18, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39
      *        August 19, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zone 32
      *        August 20, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 2, Roof E, and Roof W
      *        August 23, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 11, 12,13, 8B, and 8C
      *        August 24, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
              and 21
      The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if licensee personnel had implemented a fire
      protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within
                                              -4-                                      Enclosure
 
      the plant; effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability; maintained
      passive fire protection features in good material condition; and had implemented
      adequate compensatory measures for out of service, degraded or inoperable fire
      protection equipment, systems, or features, in accordance with the licensees fire plan.
      The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk
      as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later
      additional insights, their potential to affect equipment that could initiate or mitigate a plant
      transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event. Using the
      documents listed in the attachment, 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. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified
      during the inspection were entered into the licensees corrective action program.
      Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.
      These activities constitute completion of ten quarterly fire-protection inspection samples
      as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
.2    Annual Fire Protection Drill Observation (71111.05A)
  a. Inspection Scope
      On September 23, 2009, the inspectors observed a fire brigade activation as the result
      of a simulated fire at feed heater drain Pump C. The observation evaluated 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 preplanned drill scenario; and (10) drill
      objectives.
      These activities constitute completion of one annual fire-protection inspection sample as
      defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.
  b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
                                              -5-                                        Enclosure
 
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)
  a. Inspection Scope
    On August 4, 2009, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants
    simulator to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying
    and documenting crew performance problems, and training was being conducted in
    accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
    *      Licensed operator performance
    *      Crews clarity and formality of communications
    *      Crews ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction
    *      Crews prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms
    *      Crews correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures
    *      Control board manipulations
    *      Oversight and direction from supervisors
    *      Crews ability to identify and implement appropriate technical specification actions
            and emergency plan actions and notifications
    The inspectors compared the crews performance in these areas to pre-established
    operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.
    Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.
    These activities constitute completion of one quarterly licensed-operator requalification
    program sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.11.
  b. Findings
    No findings of significance were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12Q)
  a. Inspection Scope
    The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk
    significant systems:
    *      August 11, 2009: Seal leakage on chemical volume control charging pumps
    *      September 3, 2009: Review of operating experience smart sample FY 2009-01,
            Inspection of electrical connections for motor control center, circuit breakers and
            interfaces
                                            -6-                                       Enclosure
 
    The inspectors reviewed events such as where ineffective equipment maintenance has
    resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems and
    independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition
    problems in terms of the following:
    *        Implementing appropriate work practices
    *        Identifying and addressing common cause failures
    *        Scoping of systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b)

    The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to
    the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified
    that licensee personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)
    and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When licensee personnel
    performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that the licensee personnel promptly
    assessed and managed plant risk. 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 the technical specification requirements
    and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk
    analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Specific
    documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.
    These activities constitute completion of four maintenance risk assessments and
    emergent work control inspection samples as defined in Inspection
    Procedure 71111.13-05.

    The inspectors reviewed the following issues:
    *        July 14, 2009: Low individual cell voltage on vital 125 vdc station Battery AB
              Cell 39
    *        August 11, 2009: Unplanned load variations during emergency diesel generator

800 North Loop 288
  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 technical specification 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 technical specifications and Updated
  Safety Analysis Report to the licensees 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. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in
  the attachment.
  These activities constitute completion of four operability evaluations inspection samples
  as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.15-05
b. Findings
  Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical
  specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications
  require all four channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate
  boiling ratio, and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1.
  These Channel B instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument,
  which was previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument
  inoperable, the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and
  reactor coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable.
  Description: On Aug 20, 2009, the inspector observed the performance of procedure
  MI-003-126, Revision 14, Core Protection Calculator Functional. During the
  performance of the test procedure, the inspector noted that CPC Channel B high log
  power trip was bypassed. The inspector asked why technical specification 3.3.1 had not
  been entered due to the inoperable log power Channel B instrument. Technical
  specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation, requires that the reactor
  protective instrumentation channels and bypasses contained in Table 3.3-1 be operable
  in accordance with the requirements of the table. Table 3.3-1 requires all four channels
  of local power density (LPD), departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR), and reactor
  coolant flow instruments to be operable in Mode 1.
  Log power Channel B provides a high log power automatic bypass removal signal for
  LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow instrumentation channels. Technical specification
  3.3.1, Table 3.3-1 requires the high log power bypass shall be automatically removed
  when reactor power is greater than or equal to 10-4% of rated thermal power. When in
  Mode 1, reactor power is greater than 10-4% of rated thermal power. The inspectors
  determined that when a log power instrument is out of service, the automatic removal of
  the high log power bypass function is inoperable and thus the associated protective
  channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow are also inoperable.

place the associated LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow protective channels to either
bypass or trip within one hour.
On Aug 22, 2009, after considering the inspectors question, the licensee declared LPD
Channel B and DNBR Channel B inoperable, and placed both instruments in bypass.
During a subsequent control room tour, the inspector verified that LPD and DNBR were
bypassed, however noticed that reactor coolant flow Channel B had not been bypassed.
The inspector asked the shift manager if technical specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1
notation (C) affected any other trips. Upon further assessment, operations personnel
determined that reactor coolant low flow was also affected and declared steam
generator flow Channel B to be inoperable, as well.
Analysis: The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour
was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the
mitigating systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to
ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained.
Also, if left uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be
inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications
was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual
loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making
component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the
validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to
comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B
inoperable and not placing DNBR, LPD, and reactor coolant flow channels in either
bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).
Enforcement: Technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation,
requires all four channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow to be operable and
able to have the high log power bypass automatically removed when reactor power is
greater than or equal to 10-4% percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this, on
September 9, 2008, the licensee did not comply with the limiting condition for operation
action statement for technical specification 3.3.1 which states, the inoperable channel is
placed in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour. The plant remained in
this condition until August 22, 2009. This violation has been determined to be of very
low safety significance and was entered into their corrective action program in condition
reports CR-WF3-2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407. Therefore, this violation is being
treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC
Enforcement Policy.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS IR 05000382/2009004; July 8, 2009 through October 7, 2009; Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3; Operability Evaluations.
  The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional based inspectors.  One Green noncited violation of significance  
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 review.  The NRC's program for overseeing
the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
A. NRC-Identified Findings and Self-Revealing Findings
  Cornerstone:  Mitigating Systems
Green.  The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation.  The technical specifications require all four channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,
and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1.  These Channel B
instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument, which was previously declared inoperable.  With the Channel B log power instrument inoperable, the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and reactor
coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable.  The licensee
entered this finding in their corrective action program as condition reports CR-WF3-2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407. The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained.  Also, if left
uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be
inadvertently removed while at power.  The failure to meet the technical specifications
was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making
component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to
comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B
inoperable and not placing local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,
and reactor coolant flow instrument channels in either bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).  (Section 1R15)

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)
      Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, Emergency
      Preparedness, Public Radiation Safety, Occupational Radiation Safety, and Physical
      Protection
.1    Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems
  a. Inspection Scope
      As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of
      this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities
      and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensees
      corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being
      given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and
      addressed. The inspectors reviewed attributes that included: the complete and
      accurate identification of the problem; the timely correction, commensurate with the
      safety significance; the evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic
      implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent of condition
                                            - 19 -                                    Enclosure
 
      reviews, and previous occurrences reviews; and the classification, prioritization, focus,
      and timeliness of corrective. Minor issues entered into the licensees corrective action
      program because of the inspectors observations are included in the attached list of
      documents reviewed.
      These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute
      any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure, they were considered an
      integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in
      Section 1 of this report.
  b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
.2    Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews
  a. Inspection Scope
      In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific
      human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of
      items entered into the licensees corrective action program. The inspectors
      accomplished this through review of the stations daily corrective action documents.
      The inspectors performed these daily reviews as part of their daily plant status
      monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.
  b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
.3    Semi-Annual Trend Review
  a. Inspection Scope
      The inspectors performed a review of the licensees corrective action program and
      associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more
      significant safety issue. The inspectors focused their review on repetitive equipment
      issues, but also considered the results of daily corrective action item screening
      discussed in Section 4OA2.2, above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human
      performance results. The inspectors nominally considered the 6-month period of
      January 2009 through July 2009, for a review of Operating Experience Smart Sample:
      OpESS FY2009-02, A Negative trend and Recurring Events Involving feedwater
      systems as it applies to the emergency feedwater system.
      The inspectors also included issues documented outside the normal corrective action
      program in major equipment problem lists, repetitive and/or rework maintenance lists,
      departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance
      audit/surveillance reports, self-assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments.
      The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the
      licensees corrective action program trending reports. Corrective actions associated with
                                              - 20 -                                    Enclosure
 
      a sample of the issues identified in the licensees trending reports were reviewed for
      adequacy.
      These activities constitute completion of one single semi-annual trend inspection sample
      as defined in Inspection Procedure 71152-05.
  b.  Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
4OA5 Other Activities
.1    Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities
  a.  Inspection Scope
      During the inspection period, the inspectors performed observations of security force
      personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with Waterford
      Steam Electric Station security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to
      nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal
      plant working hours.
      These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities
      did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an
      integral part of the inspectors normal plant status review and inspection activities.
  b.  Findings
      No findings of significance were identified.
4OA6 Meetings

In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's corrective action program.  The inspectors accomplished this through review of the station's daily corrective action documents. The inspectors performed these daily reviews as part of their daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

audit/surveillance reports, self-assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments. 
The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified. 4OA5 Other Activities 
.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities
a. Inspection Scope
During the inspection period, the inspectors performed observations of security force personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with Waterford Steam Electric Station security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to
nuclear plant security.  These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours. These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities did not constitute any additional inspection samples.  Rather, they were considered an integral part of the inspectors' normal plant status review and inspection activities.
b. Findings No findings of significance were identified. 4OA6 Meetings  Exit Meeting Summary
  On September 18, 2009, the team presented the inspection results to Mr. J. Kowalewski, 
Vice President, Operations, and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings. 


The team confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the inspection.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000382/2009004; July 8, 2009 through October 7, 2009; Waterford Steam Electric Station,

Unit 3; Operability Evaluations.

The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced

baseline inspections by regional based inspectors. One Green noncited violation of significance

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 review. The NRC's program for overseeing

the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor

Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A. NRC-Identified Findings and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications require all four

channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,

and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1. These Channel B

instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument, which was

previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument inoperable,

the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and reactor

coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable. The licensee

entered this finding in their corrective action program as condition reports CR-WF3-

2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407.

The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour was more

than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating

systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that

proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained. Also, if left

uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be

inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications

was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual

loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making

component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the

validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to

comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B

inoperable and not placing local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,

and reactor coolant flow instrument channels in either bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).

(Section 1R15)

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

The plant began the inspection period on July 8, 2009, at 100 percent power and remained at

approximately 100 percent power for the rest of the inspection period.

1. REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and

Emergency Preparedness

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection (71111.01)

.1 Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions

a. Inspection Scope

Since thunderstorms with potential tornados and high winds were forecast in the vicinity

of the facility for October 4, 2009, the inspectors reviewed the licensees overall

preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. The inspectors evaluated

the licensee staffs documented preparations against the sites procedures and

determined that the staffs actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors

focused on plant-specific design features and the licensees procedures used to respond

to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspector's evaluated operator staffing and

accessibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and

verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant-specific procedures.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of one readiness for impending adverse weather

condition sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R04 Equipment Alignments (71111.04)

.1 Partial Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

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

systems:

  • July 22, 2009: Chemical volume control Train A
  • August 13, 2009: Low pressure safety injection Train B
  • September 15, 2009: High pressure safety injection system Train A

-3- Enclosure

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 affect the function of the system, and, therefore,

potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures,

system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, technical specification

requirements, administrative technical specifications, outstanding work orders, 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 system components and support equipment were

aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the

components 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

corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Specific

documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of five partial system walkdown samples as

defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.04-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)

.1 Quarterly Fire Inspection Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns that were focused on availability,

accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant

plant areas:

  • July 21, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 8B, 8C, 11, and 12
  • July 22, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 33, 35, 38, and 39
  • July 30, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 3, 5, and 6
  • August 3, 2009: Fire Zones Roof E and Roof W
  • August 11, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zone 16
  • August 18, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39
  • August 19, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zone 32
  • August 20, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 2, Roof E, and Roof W
  • August 23, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 11, 12,13, 8B, and 8C
  • August 24, 2009: Reactor auxiliary building fire Zones 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

and 21

The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if licensee personnel had implemented a fire

protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within

-4- Enclosure

the plant; effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability; maintained

passive fire protection features in good material condition; and had implemented

adequate compensatory measures for out of service, degraded or inoperable fire

protection equipment, systems, or features, in accordance with the licensees fire plan.

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk

as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later

additional insights, their potential to affect equipment that could initiate or mitigate a plant

transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event. Using the

documents listed in the attachment, 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. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified

during the inspection were entered into the licensees corrective action program.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of ten quarterly fire-protection inspection samples

as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Annual Fire Protection Drill Observation (71111.05A)

a. Inspection Scope

On September 23, 2009, the inspectors observed a fire brigade activation as the result

of a simulated fire at feed heater drain Pump C. The observation evaluated 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 preplanned drill scenario; and (10) drill

objectives.

These activities constitute completion of one annual fire-protection inspection sample as

defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.05-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

-5- Enclosure

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11)

a. Inspection Scope

On August 4, 2009, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plants

simulator to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying

and documenting crew performance problems, and training was being conducted in

accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

  • Licensed operator performance
  • Crews clarity and formality of communications
  • Crews ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction
  • Crews prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms
  • Crews correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures
  • Control board manipulations
  • Oversight and direction from supervisors
  • Crews ability to identify and implement appropriate technical specification actions

and emergency plan actions and notifications

The inspectors compared the crews performance in these areas to pre-established

operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of one quarterly licensed-operator requalification

program sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.11.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness (71111.12Q)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated degraded performance issues involving the following risk

significant systems:

  • August 11, 2009: Seal leakage on chemical volume control charging pumps
  • September 3, 2009: Review of operating experience smart sample FY 2009-01,

Inspection of electrical connections for motor control center, circuit breakers and

interfaces

-6- Enclosure

The inspectors reviewed events such as where ineffective equipment maintenance has

resulted in valid or invalid automatic actuations of engineered safeguards systems and

independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition

problems in terms of the following:

  • Implementing appropriate work practices
  • Identifying and addressing common cause failures
  • Characterizing system reliability issues for performance
  • Charging unavailability for performance
  • Trending key parameters for condition monitoring
  • Verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and

components classified as having an adequate demonstration of performance

through preventive maintenance, as described in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), or as

requiring the establishment of appropriate and adequate goals and corrective

actions for systems classified as not having adequate performance, as described

in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability,

and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance

effectiveness issues were entered into the corrective action program with the appropriate

significance characterization. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are

listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of two quarterly maintenance effectiveness

samples as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.12-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed licensee personnel's evaluation and management of plant risk

for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant and safety-

related equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were

performed prior to removing equipment for work:

  • July 29, 2009: Scheduled elective maintenance outage for containment fan

coolers Train B to calibrate containment fan cooler Header B CCW return

temperature control valve solenoid Valve CC-835B

-7- Enclosure

  • September 9, 2009: Scheduled activity to remove high pressure safety injection

Pump AB from high pressure safety injection Train A alignment and align high

pressure safety injection Pump A to Train A

  • September 11, 2009: Emergent maintenance to replace station Battery AB,

Cell 31 with a spare cell due to degraded cell voltage

The inspectors selected these activities based on potential risk significance relative to

the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified

that licensee personnel performed risk assessments as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)

and that the assessments were accurate and complete. When licensee personnel

performed emergent work, the inspectors verified that the licensee personnel promptly

assessed and managed plant risk. 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 the technical specification requirements

and inspected portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk

analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met. Specific

documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of four maintenance risk assessments and

emergent work control inspection samples as defined in Inspection

Procedure 71111.13-05.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations (71111.15)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following issues:

  • July 14, 2009: Low individual cell voltage on vital 125 vdc station Battery AB

Cell 39

Train A surveillance

found out of calibration during surveillance

  • August 20, 2009: Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling

ratio, and reactor coolant flow instruments, when Channel B log power

instrument was inoperable

-8- Enclosure

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 technical specification 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 technical specifications and Updated

Safety Analysis Report to the licensees 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. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in

the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of four operability evaluations inspection samples

as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.15-05

b. Findings

Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical

specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications

require all four channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate

boiling ratio, and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1.

These Channel B instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument,

which was previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument

inoperable, the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and

reactor coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable.

Description: On Aug 20, 2009, the inspector observed the performance of procedure

MI-003-126, Revision 14, Core Protection Calculator Functional. During the

performance of the test procedure, the inspector noted that CPC Channel B high log

power trip was bypassed. The inspector asked why technical specification 3.3.1 had not

been entered due to the inoperable log power Channel B instrument. Technical

specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation, requires that the reactor

protective instrumentation channels and bypasses contained in Table 3.3-1 be operable

in accordance with the requirements of the table. Table 3.3-1 requires all four channels

of local power density (LPD), departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR), and reactor

coolant flow instruments to be operable in Mode 1.

Log power Channel B provides a high log power automatic bypass removal signal for

LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow instrumentation channels. Technical specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1 requires the high log power bypass shall be automatically removed

when reactor power is greater than or equal to 10-4% of rated thermal power. When in

Mode 1, reactor power is greater than 10-4% of rated thermal power. The inspectors

determined that when a log power instrument is out of service, the automatic removal of

the high log power bypass function is inoperable and thus the associated protective

channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow are also inoperable.

-9- Enclosure

The log power Channel B instrument was originally declared inoperable on Sept 1, 2008.

The operability determination concluded that since the plant was in Mode 4, only two log

power channels were required, therefore entry into technical specification 3.3.1 was not

required. On Sept 9, 2008, the plant entered Mode 2 with log power Channel B still

inoperable. The operability was not revised to reflect the change in plant conditions. In

accordance with technical specification 3.3.1, operators should have taken action to

place the associated LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow protective channels to either

bypass or trip within one hour.

On Aug 22, 2009, after considering the inspectors question, the licensee declared LPD

Channel B and DNBR Channel B inoperable, and placed both instruments in bypass.

During a subsequent control room tour, the inspector verified that LPD and DNBR were

bypassed, however noticed that reactor coolant flow Channel B had not been bypassed.

The inspector asked the shift manager if technical specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1

notation (C) affected any other trips. Upon further assessment, operations personnel

determined that reactor coolant low flow was also affected and declared steam

generator flow Channel B to be inoperable, as well.

Analysis: The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour

was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the

mitigating systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to

ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained.

Also, if left uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be

inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications

was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual

loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making

component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the

validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to

comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B

inoperable and not placing DNBR, LPD, and reactor coolant flow channels in either

bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).

Enforcement: Technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation,

requires all four channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow to be operable and

able to have the high log power bypass automatically removed when reactor power is

greater than or equal to 10-4% percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this, on

September 9, 2008, the licensee did not comply with the limiting condition for operation

action statement for technical specification 3.3.1 which states, the inoperable channel is

placed in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The plant remained in

this condition until August 22, 2009. This violation has been determined to be of very

low safety significance and was entered into their corrective action program in condition

reports CR-WF3-2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407. Therefore, this violation is being

treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC

Enforcement Policy.

1R18 Plant Modifications (71111.18)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following temporary/permanent modifications to verify that

the safety functions of important safety systems were not degraded:

  • August 26, 2009: Permanent modification of containment vacuum relief valves

such that once the valves are automatically opened, they remain open until

manually closed.

nuisance alarms in the control room.

31 with a new cell. The old Cell 31 was left in place and jumpered around, while

the new Cell 31 was installed at the end of the battery rack.

The inspectors reviewed the temporary modification and the associated safety

evaluation screening against the system design bases documentation, including the

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and the technical specifications, and verified that

the modification did not adversely affect the system operability/availability. The

inspectors also verified that the installation and restoration were consistent with the

modification documents and that configuration control was adequate. Additionally, the

inspectors verified that the temporary modification was identified on control room

drawings, appropriate tags were placed on the affected equipment, and licensee

personnel evaluated the combined effects on mitigating systems and the integrity of

radiological barriers.

The inspectors reviewed key affected parameters associated with energy needs,

materials/replacement components, timing, heat removal, control signals, equipment

protection from hazards, operations, flow paths, pressure boundary, ventilation

boundary, structural, process medium properties, licensing basis, and failure modes for

the modification listed below. The inspectors verified that modification preparation,

staging, and implementation did not impair emergency/abnormal operating procedure

actions, key safety functions, or operator response to loss of key safety functions;

postmodification testing will maintain the plant in a safe configuration during testing by

verifying that unintended system interactions will not occur, systems, structures and

components performance characteristics still meet the design basis, the

appropriateness of modification design assumptions, and the modification test

acceptance criteria will be met; and licensee personnel identified and implemented

appropriate corrective actions associated with permanent plant modifications. Specific

documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of three samples for temporary and permanent

plant modifications as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.18-05

Preparedness, Public Radiation Safety, Occupational Radiation Safety, and Physical

Protection

.1 Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of

this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities

and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensees

corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being

given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and

addressed. The inspectors reviewed attributes that included: the complete and

accurate identification of the problem; the timely correction, commensurate with the

safety significance; the evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic

implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent of condition

- 19 - Enclosure

reviews, and previous occurrences reviews; and the classification, prioritization, focus,

and timeliness of corrective. Minor issues entered into the licensees corrective action

program because of the inspectors observations are included in the attached list of

documents reviewed.

These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute

any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure, they were considered an

integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in

Section 1 of this report.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.
