SUBJECT:

FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2, NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000341/2007002

Dear Mr. Davis:

On March 31, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an integrated inspection at your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on April 5, 2007, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, two findings of very low safety significance were identified one of which involved a violation of NRC requirements. However, because this finding was of very low safety significance and because the issue was entered into your corrective program, the NRC is treating the finding as a Non-Cited Violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. If you contest the subject or severity of a Non-Cited Violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at the Fermi 2 facility. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000341/2007002; 01/01/2007-03/31/2007; Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2; Radiation Protection and Emergency Preparedness.

This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional-based emergency preparedness and radiation protection inspectors. Two Green findings, one of which was associated with a Non-Cited Violation, were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White,

Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.

NRC-Identified

and Self-Revealed Findings

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding associated with the failure to verify adequate compensatory measures were in place while the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)was unavailable. The licensee removed the EOF from service for remodeling and planned to use their Alternate EOF (AEOF) for emergency response if required as a compensatory action. However, locks placed on the doors to the AEOF and the lack of continuous staffing of the facility could have delayed activation of the facility. After the issue was identified by the inspector, the licensee took prompt interim corrective actions and entered the issue into their corrective action program.

This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was similar to an example in IMC 0612, Appendix E, in that the AEOF and the procedures for activating the AEOF were in a condition that could have delayed the licensee's response to an emergency. The finding was of very low safety significance because adequate compensatory measures were put in place within seven days. (Section 4OA3)

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of NRC requirements for the failure to maintain adequate procedures for the calibration of the containment high range area radiation monitors (D11-K816 A and B). Specifically, the licensee had revised its procedures in 2001 to remove the requirement to calibrate the detectors with a radioactive source of known activity. Consequently, the monitor had not been adequately calibrated since April 2000. Following that identification, the licensee performed an evaluation and determined that the monitor was functional based on its adequate response to ambient radiation levels.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Plant Facilities/Equipment and Instrumentation and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive materials during civilian nuclear reactor operation. Since the finding involved area radiation monitors, the inspectors utilized Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP, to assess its significance. Given that instrument functional response was determined through electronic calibration and a qualitative response to radiation, and since the issue did not involve as-low-as-is-reasonably-achievable planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential for an overexposure to the worker, nor was the licensees ability to assess dose compromised; the inspectors concluded that the SDP assessment for the finding was of very low safety significance (Green). The licensees planned corrective actions included revising the applicable procedures to perform a full detector calibration utilizing a known source of radiation and including specific acceptance criteria, and clarifying Technical Specifications and the bases.

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

2OS3 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation and Protective Equipment (71121.03)

.1 Inspection Planning

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the Fermi Power Plant Unit 2 UFSAR to identify applicable radiation monitors associated with measuring transient high and very high radiation areas including those used in remote emergency assessment. The inspectors identified the types of portable radiation detection instrumentation used for job coverage of high radiation area work including instruments used for underwater surveys, fixed area radiation monitors used to provide radiological information in various plant areas, and continuous air monitors used to assess airborne radiological conditions and work areas with the potential for workers to receive a 50 millirem or greater committed effective dose equivalent. Contamination monitors, whole body counters and those radiation detection instruments utilized for the release of personnel, and equipment from the radiologically restricted area were also identified.

These activities completed two inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Walkdowns of Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted walkdowns of selected area radiation monitors (ARMs)in the main control room, turbine, radioactive waste, and reactor buildings to verify they were located as described in the UFSAR and were optimally positioned relative to the potential source(s) of radiation they were intended to monitor and to verify that control room instrument readout and high alarm setpoints for those ARMs were consistent with UFSAR information and actual field conditions. Walkdowns were also conducted of those areas where portable survey instruments were calibrated/repaired and maintained for radiation protection staff use to determine if those instruments designated ready for use were sufficient in number to support the radiation protection program, had current calibration stickers, were operable, and were in good physical condition. Additionally, the inspectors observed the licensees instrument calibration units and the radiation sources used for instrument checks to assess their material condition and discussed their use with RP staff to determine if they were used adequately. Licensee personnel were also observed performing source checks of selected instruments as they were logged-out for use.

These activities completed one inspection sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3 Calibration and Testing of Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selectively reviewed radiological instrumentation associated with monitoring transient high and/or very high radiation areas, instruments used for remote emergency assessment and radiation monitors used to identify personnel contamination and for assessment of internal exposures to verify that the instruments had been calibrated as required by the licensees procedures, consistent with industry and regulatory standards. The inspectors also reviewed alarm setpoints for selected ARMs to verify that they were established consistent with the UFSAR and TSs, as applicable. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed calibration procedures and the most recent calibration records and/or source characterization/output verification documents for the following radiation monitoring instrumentation and instrument calibration equipment:

• Containment High Range ARMs (both divisions);

• Main Control Room (Channel 6);

• Traversing In-Core Probe Room ARM (Channel 12);

• Refuel Floor ARMs (Channels 15 and 17);

• New Fuel Storage Vault (Channel 16);

• Small Articles Monitors used at plant egress points;

• J. L. Shepherd Instrument Calibrator;

• Portable survey instruments used for underwater surveys;

• Standup Whole Body Counter;

• Portal Monitors used at the Primary Access Portal; and

• Personnel Contamination Monitors used at the egress points.

The inspectors determined what actions were taken when, and during calibration or source checks, an instrument was found significantly out of calibration or exceeded as-found acceptance criteria. Should that occur, the inspectors verified that the licensees actions would include a determination of the instruments previous usages and the possible consequences of that use, since the prior calibration. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees 10 CFR Part 61 source term information to determine if the calibration sources used were representative of the plant source term and that difficult to detect nuclides were scaled into whole body count dose determinations.

These activities completed one inspection sample.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated Non-Cited Violation of NRC requirements for the failure to maintain adequate procedures for the calibration of the containment high range ARMs (D11-K816 A and B).

Description:

The containment high range ARMs are used to facilitate the evaluation of core damage in the event of a postulated accident and are also used as ARMs during plant operations, shutdown, and under accident conditions. The design, use, and maintenance of these monitors is described in the station UFSAR and the radiological emergency response preparedness plan.

The inspectors identified that in 2001 the licensee revised plant technical procedures for the calibration of the containment high range ARMs. That revision eliminated the requirement that the calibration of the containment high range ARMs be performed with a traceable, known source of radioactivity. Since that time, the 18-month calibration was reduced to an electronic calibration of the instrument with only a qualitative verification of detector response.

The inspectors concluded that the change to the licensees procedure resulted in an incomplete calibration of the instrument which failed to provide assurance that the instrument would accurately respond. As further described in NUREG 0737, the calibration of the containment high range ARMs are to include a single point in-situ calibration that exposes the detectors to a known source of radiation in the range of 1 Rem/hr to 10 Rem/hr.

Prior to 1999, the licensees TSs contained a requirement to perform a single point in-situ calibration and expose the containment high range radiation detectors to a known source of radiation in the range of 1 Rem/hr to 10 Rem/hr. However, the detail of this calibration requirement was deleted when the licensee transitioned to Improved Technical Specifications in accordance with license amendment 134, dated September 30, 1999.

Although, the licensee indicated to the inspectors that no change in detector calibration protocol was intended with the implementation of Improved Technical Specifications, station procedures 62.120.040 and 62.120.041 for the calibration of the containment high range ARMs were changed in 2001. That change eliminated the requirement for a quantitative radiation check as a part of the instrument calibration.

Analysis:

The failure to adequately maintain procedures for the calibration of the containment high range ARMs was determined to be a performance deficiency as defined in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening. Specifically, the inspectors determined that not calibrating the containment high range ARMs using radiation sources of known values was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Plant Facilities/Equipment and Instrumentation and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive materials during civilian nuclear reactor operation. Therefore, the issue was greater than minor and represented a finding which was evaluated using the Significance Determination Process (SDP).

Since the finding involved ARMs, the inspectors utilized IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety SDP, to assess its significance. The inspectors concluded that the issue did not involve as-low-as-is-reasonably-achievable planning or work controls, there was no overexposure or substantial potential for an overexposure to the worker, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. Consequently, the inspectors concluded that the SDP assessment for the finding was of very low safety significance (Green).

The inspectors also reviewed the issue and determined that no cross-cutting aspects were identified in the areas of human performance, problem identification and resolution, or safety conscious work environment.

Enforcement:

Technical Specification 5.4.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for activities listed in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Regulatory Guide 1.33 defines the quality assurance program requirements for nuclear power plants and Appendix A, Section 7, step f. specifies procedures for the ARMs. Contrary to the above, the licensee did not maintain adequate calibration procedures for the containment high range ARMs.

Since 2001, Fermi Station procedures for the calibration of the containment high range ARMs did not include a quantitative response to a known source of radiation as a part of the instrument calibration which resulted in an incomplete calibration of the instrument.

As an immediate correction action, the licensee performed an evaluation and determined that the monitor was functional based on its adequate response to ambient radiation levels. The licensee also planned to revise applicable procedures to perform the calibrations using appropriate radioactive sources. Since the licensee documented this issue in its corrective action program (CARD 07-21616), and because this finding is of very low safety significance, it is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV 05000341/2007002-01).

.4 Problem Identification and Resolution

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed licensee condition assessment resolution documents (CARDs)and any special reports that involved personnel contamination monitor alarms due to personnel internal exposures to verify that identified problems were entered into the corrective action program for resolution. Licensee audits and CARDs were also reviewed to verify that deficiencies and problems with radiological instrumentation, the radiation monitoring system or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) were identified, characterized, prioritized, and resolved effectively using the corrective action program.

The inspectors reviewed corrective action program reports related to exposure significant radiological incidents that involved radiation monitoring instrument deficiencies since the last inspection in this area, as applicable. Members of the radiation protection staff were interviewed and corrective action documents were reviewed to verify that follow-up activities were being conducted in an effective and timely manner commensurate with their importance to safety and risk based on the following:

• Initial problem identification, characterization, and tracking;

• Disposition of operability/reportability issues;

• Evaluation of safety significance/risk and priority for resolution;

• Identification of repetitive problems;

• Identification of contributing causes; and

• Identification and implementation of effective corrective actions.

The inspectors determined if the licensees self-assessment and/or audit activities were identifying and addressing repetitive deficiencies or significant individual deficiencies in problem identification and resolution.

These reviews represented three inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.5 Radiation Protection Technician Instrument Use

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selectively verified that calibrations for those instruments recently used and for those designated for use had not lapsed. The inspectors reviewed instrument logs to verify that response checks of portable survey instruments were completed prior to instrument use and upon return of the instrument to the storage area after use, as required by the licensees procedure. The inspectors also discussed instrument calibration methods and source response check practices with radiation protection staff and observed staff complete instrument operability checks prior to use.

These reviews represented one inspection sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.6 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Maintenance/Inspection and User Training

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed aspects of the licensees respiratory protection program for compliance with the requirements of Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 20 and to determine if SCBA was properly maintained and ready for emergency use. The inspectors reviewed the status, maintenance, and surveillance records of SCBAs staged and ready-for-emergency use in various areas of the plant and assessed the licensees capability for refilling and transporting SCBA air bottles to and from the control room and operations support center (OSC) during emergency conditions. The inspectors verified that selected control room staff designated for the active on-shift duty roster, including those individuals on the stations fire brigade, were trained, respirator fit tested, and medically certified to use SCBAs. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed SCBA qualifications for the emergency response organizations radiological emergency team to determine if a sufficient number of staff were qualified to fulfill emergency response positions to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47. The inspectors also reviewed respiratory protection training lesson plans to assess their overall adequacy for compliance with Subpart H, and to verify that personal SCBA air bottle change-out was adequately covered.

The inspectors walked down the bottled air supply rack and spare air bottle stations located outside the main control room and inspected SCBA equipment maintained in the control room and SCBA equipment staged for emergency use in various areas of the plant. During the walkdowns, the inspectors examined several SCBA units to assess their material condition, to verify that air bottle hydrostatic tests were current, and to verify that bottles were pressurized to meet procedural requirements. The inspectors reviewed records of SCBA equipment inspection and functional testing and observed selected operations personnel inspect, don, doff, and use SCBA air packs to determine if these activities were performed consistent with procedure and the equipment manufacturers recommendations. The inspectors also ensured that the required, periodic air cylinder hydrostatic testing was documented and up to date, and that the Department of Transportation required retest air cylinder markings were in place for several randomly selected SCBA units. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed vendor training certificates for those individuals involved in the repair of SCBA pressure regulators to determine if those personnel that performed maintenance on components vital to equipment function were qualified. The most recent vital component (regulator) test records were reviewed by the inspectors for selected SCBA equipment currently designated for emergency use.

These reviews represented two inspection samples.

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

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification

.1 Reactor Safety Strategic Area

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors sampled the licensees submittals for the performance indicators (PIs)listed below. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in Revision 4 of Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, to verify the accuracy of the PI data. The following PIs were reviewed:

• Unplanned Scrams;

• Scrams with Loss of Normal Heat Removal;

• Unplanned Power Changes; and

• RCS Leakage.

The inspectors reviewed selected applicable conditions and data from logs, licensee event reports, and CARDs from January 2005 through January 2007, for each PI area specified above. The inspectors independently re-performed calculations where applicable. The inspectors compared that information to the information required for each PI definition in the guideline to ensure the licensee reported the data correctly.

These activities completed four performance indicator inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Emergency Preparedness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed samples of licensee records associated with the three EP performance indicators listed below. Inspectors verified that the licensee accurately reported these indicators in accordance with relevant procedures and Nuclear Energy Institute guidance endorsed by the NRC. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records associated with PI data reported to the NRC for the period April 2006 through December 2006. Reviewed records included: procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for these three PIs; pre-designated Control Room Simulator training sessions, the 2006 biennial exercise, and integrated emergency response facility drills; revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key ERO positions; and results of periodic ANS operability tests. The following PIs were reviewed:

• ANS;

• ERO Drill Participation; and

• Drill and Exercise Performance.

These activities completed three inspection samples.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1 Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

As discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify they were being entered into the licensee's corrective action system at an appropriate threshold, adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and adverse trends were identified and addressed.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Annual Sample: Review of Issues Relating to Human Performance

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed issues relating to low level human performance during December 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The inspectors reviewed CARDs 06-27827, 06-27974, 06-27681, 07-20378, 07-20490, 07-20510, 07-20519, and 07-20785.

b. Observations Based on a review of the licensee CARDs, the inspectors noted an increase in the number of low level human performance issues that occurred during the last month of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. An investigation of the CARDs associated with these issues revealed a variety of human performance incidents involving non safety-related equipment, including valve and switch mis-positions, maintenance performed on the wrong equipment, and significant rework on the south RWCU pump due to poor worker practices during the pump rebuild. As part of the licensees corrective actions, the licensee integrated more human performance trending into the corrective action process.

The licensee recognized that the disposition of the human performance trend evaluations had not been fully effective. The licensee used the February 2007 leadership briefing to increase plant worker awareness of the issue and completed a common cause analysis on the issue of human performance on March 28, 2007. The licensee plans to implement the corrective actions from the common cause during the second quarter of 2007.

These activities completed one inspection sample.

c. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA3 Event Followup

.1 RWCU B Pump Seal Failure

a. Inspection Scope

On February 6, 2007, RWCU B seal failure led to an isolation of the RWCU system.

The inspectors observed the operators follow the abnormal operating procedures and depressurize the RWCU system to stop the leak. Operations verified that the leak was isolated and that the A train of RWCU was intact. Following the verifications of system integrity, the inspectors observed the operators restore the RWCU system to operation using the A train.

These activities completed one inspection sample.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2 Inadequate Verification of Alternate Emergency Operations Facility Readiness

a. Inspection Scope

During the week of February 19, 2007, the licensee removed the normal emergency operations facility (EOF) from service for remodeling. On February 21, 2007, the inspectors drove to the alternate EOF (AEOF) to tour the facility for readiness.

These activities completed one inspection sample.

b. Findings

Introduction:

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)for the failure to verify adequate compensatory actions were in place while the EOF was unavailable. The AEOF was modified such that activation of the facility would have been significantly delayed.

Description:

The licensee started remodeling the EOF which rendered the EOF unavailable for five days beginning February 19, 2007. As a compensatory action, the licensee planned to use their AEOF for emergency response if required. The AEOF is a medium-sized multipurpose conference room. Inside the AEOF is a locked storage room with the required materials such as procedures, maps, dose assessment computer, etc.

On February 21, 2007, two days after the remodeling began, the inspectors informed the licensee of their desire to tour the AEOF to verify the readiness of the facility which is located in a Detroit Edison building approximately 25 miles from Fermi. A member of the Fermi ERO met the inspectors at the facility. Upon arrival, the inspectors and licensee representative discovered that locks had been installed on the doors to the conference room without the licensees knowledge. The locks were installed several days previously to help secure computers in the room that were being used to test an upgrade to the company's network. Only two keys were available, both of which were maintained by two administrative assistants who work during the day and are not on any relevant paging or call-out list.

The AEOF activation procedure stated that a key to the storage room is kept with the Regional System Supervisor, a position in the building staffed continually in the Regional Operations Center (ROC); however, Detroit Edison consolidated several months ago and moved this position to a location 25 miles away. Even after the consolidation, the ROC remained continuously locked behind key-carded doors. After 45 minutes, the inspectors and the licensee were able to locate one of the few individuals who could open the door and gain access to the ROC. A key to the storage room was also staged in the EOF, but licensee staff would have gone directly to the AEOF if responding from home during off hours. Further, radios the licensee would have relied on for offsite dose assessment teams were also located in the ROC.

Had the licensee needed to staff the AEOF during off-normal hours, these unforseen circumstances could have delayed the activation of the facility which could have adversely affected the ability of the licensee to protect the public in the event of an emergency. Consequently, the facility custodian disabled the locks, the licensee established a continuous watch at the AEOF, and corporate security authorized all EOF members access to the ROC.

The licensee did not physically verify the readiness of the AEOF prior to removing the EOF from service but rather verified that the last surveillance was satisfactorily completed.

The licensee further concluded that the only controls in place to ensure the readiness of the room was via an informal verbal agreement with supervisory personnel in the building.

As such, a formal "letter of agreement" between Fermi and Detroit Edison's Facilities and Asset Management was signed to ensure proper controls remained in place.

Analysis:

The inspectors determined the failure to verify adequate compensatory measures were in place prior to removing the EOF from service was a performance deficiency warranting a significance determination. The inspectors determined the issue was more than minor because it was similar to an example question in IMC 0612, Appendix E, in that the AEOF and the procedures for activating the AEOF were in a condition that would have affected the licensee's response to an emergency. Using IMC 0609, Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Significance Determination Process dated March 6, 2003, the inspectors determined this issue was of very low safety significance (Green) because the duration for which adequate compensatory measures were not in place while the EOF was not functional was less than seven days.

(FIN 05000341/2007002-02).

Enforcement:

The inspectors reviewed the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, and 10 CFR 50.47 and determined this finding did not involve a violation of NRC requirements since neither the AEOF nor the EOF are safety-related and the issue did not involve either a degradation or the augmentation of the facility but rather the timeliness of activating the facility. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's Emergency Plan and determined that it did not require facility activation within any prescribed time limit. Therefore, all emergency planning standards were satisfied. This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CARD 07-21035. Once the issue was identified, the licensee ensured the locks were disabled and continuously staffed the AEOF with an EOF member until positive controls were in place to ensure continued availability of the AEOF.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1 (Closed) URI (05000341/2005016-01): Review of Fermi 2 licensing basis with regard to

the mitigation of tornado effects.

During the previous inspection, the licensee was not able to provide an analysis or other documentation to demonstrate that the RHR complex and its enclosed components were capable of withstanding the depressurization effects that could occur if a tornado passed directly over the building. The inspectors postulated that if a tornado depressurization zone passed by the RHR complex, the outside air pressure would be higher than the reduced pressure inside the diesel generator rooms, thereby closing the gravity exhaust dampers. The inspectors postulated that this phenomenon could result in a maximum pressure differential of 3 psid between the normal outside atmospheric pressure and the reduced inside atmospheric pressure. This differential pressure could develop across both the ventilation system intake and exhaust dampers as well as across the building structural components such as the roof. The inspectors were concerned that the EDG support systems or the structure that enclosed the EDGs could, therefore, be damaged.

This issue was considered an unresolved item (URI 05000341/2005016-01) pending further review of Fermi 2's licensing basis by the NRC.

The inspectors performed an initial review of NUREG-0798, Safety Evaluation Report Related to the Operation of Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Docket No. 50-341, dated July 1981. Section 3.2.2, Tornado Design Criteria, described NRRs review of the Fermi 2 tornado design criteria. The document concluded that the design basis tornado and the procedures used for calculating loadings on structures met the applicable requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.76 and was acceptable. The document further stated that the use of these procedures provides assurance that, in the event of a design basis tornado, the structural integrity of the plant structures that need to be designed for tornados will not be impaired and, in consequence, safety-related systems and components located within these structures will be adequately protected and may be expected to perform their necessary safety functions as required. The inspectors could not determine if this safety evaluation report considered the issue described above since it did not appear to address re-pressurization effects. The inspectors also noted that Regulatory Guide 1.76 described the design basis tornado, but it did not discuss the structural design requirements for tornado protection.

The issue was discussed with NRR personnel and it was determined that licensees were not specifically required to analyze the structural integrity of the HVAC systems, or other internal systems, in Category I structures to withstand tornado depressurization effects.

However, in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2006-23, Post-Tornado Operability of Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Systems Housed in Emergency Diesel Generator Rooms dated December 6, 2006, the NRC staff concluded that licensees may not have adequately considered tornado wind and pressure-drop effects on safety-related systems and components inside building structures open to the outside environment. The RIS further documented that licensees should take any necessary measures to ensure the operability of ventilation and air conditioning duct systems located in EDG rooms.

The inspectors conducted a walkdown of Fermi 2 RHR/EDG complex, reviewed various plant documents, engaged in discussions with several plant personnel and made the following qualitative assessment:

• During a tornado (depressurization outside), the roof mounted EDG/RHR and switchgear room HVAC exhaust dampers (all of which are missile protected) will open to equalize the pressure, so no differential pressure

(dp) will exist between the inside and outside of the EDG/RHR building.

• After a tornado passes the building (re-pressurization outside), the EDG/RHR and switchgear room HVAC intake dampers will each allow in-leakage of approximately 300 cubic feet per minute of air through existing openings (under fully closed position), thereby reducing the postulated 3 psi dp between inside and outside the buildings considerably and equalizing the pressure relatively quickly.

• All the essential switchgear, EDG control panels, and MCC are sufficiently vented, which eliminated the differential pressure concerns expressed in the URI.

• The roof slab had sufficient design margin to withstand the effects of a tornado.

• The two offsite power sources/switchyard available at Fermi 2 are geographically separated (one located at the south side and the other at the west side of the plant), which considerably reduces the probability of a tornado causing complete loss of offsite power at Fermi 2.

• The EDG combustion air intake and exhaust are unaffected by the depressurization and re-pressurization effects of a tornado based on their location and the fact that they are well shielded from tornado borne missiles.

• The only component that may malfunction/damage during re-pressurization after a tornado is the EDG/RHR room ventilation exhaust gravity damper mounted on the roof. Damage to this damper does not affect the immediate operability of the EDGs, RHR service water and EDG service water pumps. This will only affect the room heat up rate. Operator actions in response to the EDG room temperature alarms (in the control room) are expected to restore EDG/RHR room HVAC systems in a timely manner.

The inspectors also reviewed the applicability review of this RIS conducted by the licensee and documented in an attachment to CARD 05-26492. The inspectors concluded that the applicability review performed by the licensee was adequate as it was based on the similar qualitative assessment/arguments as described above. Therefore, the inspectors determined no performance deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements occurred and no additional enforcement action was warranted. The inspectors had no further concerns in this area. This unresolved item is closed.

.2 (Closed) URI (05000341/2005016-02): Review of Fermi 2 licensing basis with regard

to the potential release path via the condensate storage tank (CST) following the loss of coolant accident (LOCA)

During the 2005 Safety System Design and Performance Capability inspection, the inspectors identified an unresolved item concerning a potential radioactive release path via the CST following a LOCA. While in standby, the RCIC system is normally aligned to the CST through a check valve E5150F011 (F011) and normally open motor operated valve (MOV) E5150F010 (F010). When the level in the CST decreases to a predetermined setpoint or when the level in the suppression pool increases to a predetermined setpoint, the suction path switches to the suppression pool as the normally closed MOVs E5150F029 (F029) and E5150F031 (F031) open and MOV F010 closes.

The HPCI system functions in a similar manner with CST suction check valve E4150F019 (F019) and normally open MOV E4150F004 (F004) and the suppression pool suction valves, normally closed MOVs E4150F041 (F041) and E4150F042 (F042).

The inspectors were concerned that the licensee did not leak test the CST suction or the suppression pool suction valves. The inspectors postulated that following a design basis LOCA and a range of intermediate break LOCAs, the pressure differential between the suppression pool and CST could cause potentially contaminated, radioactive water to be transferred from the suppression pool to the CST through the MOVs and check valves. As the CST is vented, this could result in a radioactive release outside of the current 10 CFR 100 and General Design Criteria 19 requirements.

The licensee documented this issue as CARD 05-26699. The licensee believed that the secondary containment bypass leakage postulated in the above scenario was not part of plant design and licensing basis. The licensee based this position in part on the response to the Three Mile Island (TMI) Question H.III.1.1.1, which stated that the CST was identified as isolated from highly contaminated systems. The licensee also stated that the plant design and licensing basis assumed emergency core cooling system liquid leakage occurred within the secondary containment boundary and was limited to a rate of 5 gallons per minute. Furthermore, UFSAR Section 6.2.1.2.2.3 identified that the HPCI and RCIC CST suction lines were excluded as bypass leakage paths on the basis that they were sealed with water. The inspectors concluded that the CST would be isolated from contaminated sources if the valves in question were shown to be leak-tight. Because this has not been demonstrated, the inspectors believed the licensee may not be meeting their licensing and design basis.

NRC Review and Conclusion:

During this followup inspection, the inspectors reviewed several licensee documents including UFSAR sections and tables; inservice testing requirements and documents; and HPCI and RCIC Design Basis Documents. The inspectors also consulted NRR personnel and reviewed two related task interface agreement responses at Susquehanna (TAC# M86276) and H.B Robinson (TIA 94-22) plants. The inspectors determined that with respect to licensing or post-TMI license conditions, valves which isolate potential pathways were not considered containment isolation valves subject to local leak rate testing. Also, the source terms in the licensing basis for plants do not assume water leakage as a contributor to off-site doses. Therefore, the inspectors determined that the licensee was not required to leak test the valves in question.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees actions in response to CARDs 05-26699 and 05-26676. The licensee implemented the following actions:

• Revised maintenance practices by requiring periodic disassembly and inspection of the HPCI check valve (F019) in the CST suction line. The first disassembly and inspection was satisfactorily completed during a recent refueling outage.

• Revised the inservice testing program to include stroke testing of the RCIC CST suction line valve F010. In addition, the licensee planned to perform a reverse leak test on the RCIC check valve F011 which was already subjected to routine preventive maintenance disassembly and inservice inspection.

• Revised the inservice testing program to include periodic stroke testing RCIC MOVs F029 and F010. The initial baseline stroke-time testing was completed in February 2006.

The inspectors generally agreed with the licensees disposition that under all scenarios, after considering single failures, at least one safety-related valve would be functional as a barrier. In some scenarios, peak accident conditions would result in sufficient torus pressure to lift emergency core cooling system water to the CST via the suction lines.

The emergency operating procedures would direct the operators to initiate the torus sprays early in the event, thus the period of time during which torus pressure would be sufficient to push water toward the CST is expected to be very short, about one day.

Because of the large volume of piping between the CST and the CST swap isolation valves and typical valve leak rates, the inspectors determined that it would take many days to fill the HPCI and RCIC CST suction lines.

The inspectors determined no performance deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements were identified and no additional enforcement action was warranted.

The inspectors had no further concerns in this area. This unresolved item is closed.
