In addition, this report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance which were
determined to be violations of NRC requirements.  The NRC is treating these two violations as non-cited
violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because of their very low
safety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program.  If you contest
these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the
basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.:  Document Control Desk,
Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of

Findings  
Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)  
involving a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the  
licensees failure to translate the design basis as specified in the license application, into  
specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Specifically, the licensees failure  
to assure that the CCW surge tank design included adequate overpressure protection for  
all configurations allowed by plant procedures, as required by the applicable ASME  
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, was identified by the  
inspectors as a performance deficiency.

SUBJECT:

ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES

INSPECTION - INSPECTION REPORT 05000335/2009006 AND

05000389/2009006; PRELIMINARY GREATER THAN GREEN FINDINGS

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On September 4, 2009, U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection

at your St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the

preliminary inspection results which were discussed with Mr. Gordon Johnston on September 4,

2009 and the final inspection results with Mr. Eric Katzman on December 10, 2009.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and

compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The team reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed

personnel.

Section 4OA5 of the enclosed report discusses an event which occurred in October 2008 when

air from the containment instrument air (IA) system entered the Unit 1 Component Cooling

Water (CCW) system. The air intrusion potentially rendered both trains of the safety-related

CCW system inoperable. Two performance deficiencies were identified with this issue. The

first performance deficiency involved a common cause failure vulnerability of the CCW system.

Specifically, a non-safety system failure could result in a common cause failure of both trains of

the CCW system. The second performance deficiency involved the failure to identify and

correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly determine the

source of the air in-leakage into the CCW system and take appropriate corrective actions

following the air intrusion event that occurred in October 2008. Further, the licensees corrective

action evaluation did not identify the common cause failure vulnerability discussed in the first

performance deficiency.

FP&L

The findings associated with the common cause vulnerability and the inadequate corrective

actions were assessed based on the best available information. The two issues were

preliminarily determined to be greater than Green findings using influencing assumptions and

the Significant Determination Process (SDP). The SDP analysis determined that the two

findings are potentially greater than very low safety significance because they potentially

impacted the availability and thus the accident mitigation capability of the CCW system. These

findings do not represent a current safety concern because the containment IA system has been

isolated from the CCW system. Additionally, increased station sensitivity exists for recognizing

and responding in a timely manner if a similar air intrusion event were to occur.

The performance deficiencies are documented in the enclosed report as two apparent violations

(AVs). The first performance deficiency is an AV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III,

Design Control, for the failure to translate the design basis as specified in the license

application, into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions resulting in the CCW

system being susceptible to a common cause failure. The second performance deficiency is an

AV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the failure to identify and

correct a condition adverse to quality following the air intrusion event into the CCW system that

occurred in October 2008. These AVs are being considered for escalated enforcement action in

accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is included on

the NRC=s website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, we intend to complete our

evaluation using the best available information and issue our final determination of safety

significance within 90 days of this letter. The significance determination process encourages an

open dialogue between the staff and the licensee; however, the dialogue should not impact the

timeliness of the staff=s final determination. Before we make a final decision on this matter, we

are providing you an opportunity to: (1) present to the NRC your perspectives on the facts and

assumptions used by the NRC to arrive at the finding and its significance at a Regulatory

Conference or (2) submit your position on the finding to the NRC in writing. If you request a

Regulatory Conference, it should be held within 30 days of the receipt of this letter and we

encourage you to submit supporting documentation at least one week prior to the conference in

an effort to make the conference more efficient and effective. If a Regulatory Conference is

held, it will be open for public observation. The NRC will also issue a press release to

announce the conference. If you decide to submit only a written response, such a submittal

should be sent to the NRC within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.

Please contact Mr. Steve Rose at (404) 562-4609 or Mr. Binoy Desai at (404) 562-4519 within

10 business days of the date of your receipt of this letter to notify the NRC of your intentions. If

we have not heard from you within 10 days, we will continue with our significance determination

and enforcement decisions and you will be advised by separate correspondence of the results

of our deliberations on this matter.

Since the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, a Notice of Violation is not

being issued at this time. In addition, please be advised that the number and characterization of

the AVs violations may change as a result of further NRC review.

In addition, this report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance

which were determined to be violations of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating these two

violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement

Policy because of their very low safety significance and because they were entered into your

corrective action program. If you contest these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30

days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with

copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United

States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC resident

inspector at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of

any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this

inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II,

and the NRC Resident Inspector at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The information you provide will

be considered in accordance with the Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its

enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the

NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000335/2009006, 05000389/2009006; 8/3/2009 - 9/4/2009; St. Lucie Nuclear

Plant, Units 1 and 2; NRC Component Design Bases Inspection.

This inspection was conducted by a team of four NRC inspectors from the Region II

office, and two NRC contract inspectors. Two findings of very low significance (Green)

were identified during this inspection and were classified as non-cited violations. Also,

two apparent violations (AV) with potential safety significance greater than Green were

identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White,

Yellow, Red) using 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 NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of

commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight

Process, (ROP) Revision 4, dated December 2006.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green. The team identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion

III, Design Control, for failure to translate the design basis as specified in the license

application into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. The licensee

did not ensure that the component cooling water (CCW) surge tank design included

adequate overpressure protection for all procedurally allowed configurations as

required by the applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section VIII,

Division 1. The code requires that no intervening stop valves be between the vessel

and its protective device or devices or between the protective devices and the point

of discharge. The team concluded that stop valve V6466 was an intervening stop

valve for the CCW surge tank vent path to the chemical drain tank (CDT). The issue

was entered in the licensees corrective action program as condition report (CR)

2009-23473. Immediate licensee corrective actions included verification that the

valve was in its open position and the implementation of administrative controls to

maintain the valve open.

This finding is associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of

Design Control, i.e. initial design, was determined to be more than minor because it

impacted the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability

of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

The team determined that if left uncorrected, this design deficiency had the potential

to impact the operability of safety-related systems and, thus, become a more

significant safety concern in that a closed intervening valve had the potential for

overpressurizing the CCW surge tank. The team assessed this finding for

significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Attachment

1, Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Reactor Inspection Findings for At-

Power Situations, and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green),

in that no actual loss of safety system function was identified. The team reviewed

the finding for cross-cutting aspects and concluded that this finding did not have an

associated cross-cutting aspect because the design of the CCW surge tank relief

was established in an original plant design, and therefore, was not representative of

current licensee performance. [Section 1R21.2.2]

3

Enclosure

Green. The inspectors identified a finding involving a violation of 10 CFR 50,

Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the licensees failure to maintain the

safety-related 125V DC system design basis information consistent with the plant

configuration. Specifically, a revision to the Unit 1, safety-related 125V DC system

analysis incorporated incorrect design input specifications. The issue was entered in

the licensees corrective action program as CR 2009-24517. Licensee corrective

actions included incorporating the correct design input and specifications by revising

the calculations.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating

Systems Cornerstone attribute of Design Control. It impacted the cornerstone

objective because if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to a more significant

safety concern in that future design activity or operability assessments would

assume the lower voltage (100V DC vs. actual 105V DC) value acceptable for

assuring the adequacy of voltage to the safety-related inverters. The team assessed

this finding for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, using the

Phase I SDP worksheet for mitigating systems and determined that the finding was

of very low safety significance (Green) since it was a design deficiency determined

not to have resulted in a loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting

aspect in the area of human performance because the licensee failed to ensure that

procedures (specifically ENG-QI 1.5) were available and adequate to assure nuclear

safety (specifically, complete, accurate and up-to-date design documentation):

H.2(c). [Section 1R21.2.20]

TBD. The team identified an AV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design

Control, for the licensees failure to identify that the CCW system met its license

specifications related to common cause failure vulnerabilities. Specifically, a non-

safety system failure (i.e. waste gas compressor aftercoolers affecting both units, or

containment IA compressors affecting Unit 1 only) could result in a common cause

failure of both trains of a safety system (i.e. CCW system). The issue was entered

into the licensees corrective action program as CR 2009-22929 with actions to

evaluate the past operability of the CCW system during the air intrusion event.

Licensee corrective actions included isolating the CCW system from the containment

IA compressors.

The finding was determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected, it

could affect the availability, reliability and capability of a safety system to perform its

intended safety function. Specifically, with this vulnerability, a failure of the waste

gas aftercooler (both units) or a failure of the containment IA compressors (Unit 1

only) could cause air intrusion into the CCW system and lead to a loss of CCW

event, therefore, failing to ensure that adequate cooling would be available or

maintained to essential equipment used to mitigate design bases accidents. The

finding was assessed for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609,

using the Phase I and Phase II SDP worksheets for mitigating systems. It was

determined that a Phase III analysis was required since this finding represented a

potential loss of safety system function for multiple trains which was not addressed

by the Phase II pre-solved tables/worksheets. Based on the Phase III SDP, the

finding was preliminarily determined to be greater than Green. The team reviewed

the finding for cross-cutting aspect and concluded that this finding did not have an

4

Enclosure

associated cross-cutting aspect because the design of the CCW system was

established in an original plant design, and therefore, was not representative of

current licensee performance. [Section 4OA5]

TBD. The team identified an AV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective

Action, for the licensees failure to implement adequate corrective actions associated

with the CCW air intrusion event that occurred in October, 2008. The corrective

actions were inadequate in that the licensee failed to identify and correct the cause

of air intrusion. The issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program as

CR 2009-25209 to address the ineffective corrective actions for the air intrusion

event. Licensee corrective actions included isolating the CCW system from the

containment IA compressors.

The finding was determined to be more than minor because it affected the

availability, reliability and capability of a safety system to perform its intended safety

function. Specifically, without knowing the leak path from the containment IA

compressors to the CCW system, the licensee could not ensure that adequate

cooling would be available or maintained to essential equipment used to mitigate

design bases accidents. The finding was assessed for significance in accordance

with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, using the Phase I and Phase II SDP worksheets for

mitigating systems. It was determined that a Phase III analysis was required since

this finding represented a loss of safety system function for multiple trains which was

not addressed by the Phase II pre-solved tables/worksheets. Based on the Phase III

SDP, the finding was preliminarily determined to be greater than Green. This finding

was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance,

Decision Making, specifically H.1(a). [Section 4OA5]

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity

1R21 Component Design Bases Inspection (71111.21)

.1

Inspection Sample Selection Process

The team selected risk significant components and operator actions for review using

information contained in the licensees Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). In general,

this included components and operator actions that had a risk achievement worth factor

greater than 1.3 or Birnbaum value greater than 1 X10-6. The sample included 20

components, six operator actions, and five operating experience items. Additionally, the

team reviewed one permanent plant modification by performing activities identified in IP

71111.17, Evaluations of Changes, Tests, or Experiments and Permanent Plant

Modifications.

The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of the selected risk-

significant components to verify that the design bases had been correctly implemented

and maintained. This design margin assessment considered original design issues,

margin reductions due to modifications, or margin reductions identified as a result of

material condition issues. Equipment reliability issues were also considered in the

selection of components for detailed review. These reliability issues included review of

items related to performance and surveillance test failures, corrective actions due to

repeat maintenance, maintenance rule (a)1 status, Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 05-

020 (formerly Generic Letter (GL) 91-18) conditions, NRC resident inspector input of

problem equipment, system health reports, industry operating experience and licensee

problem equipment lists. Consideration was also given to the uniqueness and complexity

of the design, operating experience, and the available defense in depth margins. An

overall summary of the reviews performed and the specific inspection findings identified

is included in the following sections of the report.

Results of Detailed Reviews

.2.1

Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pumps 1A/1B/1C

a.

Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the design bases documents (DBD), related design basis

documentation, drawings, technical specifications (TS), and the final safety analysis

report (FSAR) to identify design, maintenance, and operational requirements for the

CCW pumps. The team reviewed the system configuration and design calculations to

verify that adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) would be available during

accident conditions. Maintenance history, as demonstrated by system health reports,

corrective maintenance documentation, condition reports (CRs), and surveillance test

results, were reviewed to verify the design bases had been maintained; potential

degradation was being monitored; and that identified degradation or malfunctions had

been adequately addressed. The team reviewed normal, abnormal, and emergency

6

Enclosure

operating procedures to verify correct implementation of design bases. The team

verified that the equipment periodic maintenance performed was consistent with vendor

recommendations. Additionally, the team conducted a field walkdown of the CCW

pumps with the licensee staff to assess observable material condition and to verify that

the installed configuration was consistent with the design basis and plant drawings. The

team reviewed voltage drop calculations to confirm that the voltage available at the

motor terminals as well as at the circuit breakers was adequate to ensure that the pumps

can perform their safety function when called upon. Additionally, the team verified that

the horsepower rating of the motors were correctly identified in the load flow analysis

and that adequate protection was provided for the motors. The team reviewed control

wiring diagrams to confirm that the operation of the pumps conformed to their intended

function.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified; however, see section 4OA5 for two findings

related to the CCW system.

.2.2

Component Cooling Water Surge Tank

a.

Inspection Scope

For the CCW surge tank the team reviewed DBDs, Technical Specifications, FSAR,

calculations, and drawings. Specific design requirements for the CCW surge tank levels,

tank leakage and make up rate, minimum level vs. NPSH allowed and vortex limits, tank

baffle location and height, and tank implosion and overpressure protection were reviewed

and compared to as-built configuration. The team also reviewed all CCW system

operating conditions to verify that design, maintenance, and operational requirements

were appropriate. The CCW flow assumptions in the FSAR accident analysis were also

reviewed to verify that the surge tank was capable of performing the intended safety

functions. Calculations were also reviewed to verify that the surge tank met applicable

ASME requirements. Maintenance, corrective actions, and design change history were

reviewed to assess potential component degradation and subsequent impacts on design

margins.

b.

Findings

Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)

involving a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the

licensees failure to translate the design basis as specified in the license application, into

specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Specifically, the licensees failure

to assure that the CCW surge tank design included adequate overpressure protection for

all configurations allowed by plant procedures, as required by the applicable ASME

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section VIII, Division 1, was identified by the

inspectors as a performance deficiency.

Description: The review of the Unit 1 CCW surge tanks design and operation identified

that the tank pressure relief required by the ASME Code (ASME Section VIII) was

provided via a 2-inch vent line. This vent line was routed to a diverting air-operated

7

Enclosure

valve, RCV-14-1. This valve was normally open to atmosphere; however, in the event of

high radiation, this valve re-aligns the relief path from the atmosphere and diverts the

vent/overflow to the liquid waste management system chemical drain tank (CDT) 1A. A

similar re-alignment would take place on a loss of instrument air. The CDT 1A was a

closed tank and was vented to a sump pit by a 1-1/2 line. A maintenance valve, V6466,

was installed between the diverting air-operated valve RCV-14-1 and CDT 1A. A similar

configuration existed for Unit 2.

ASME Section VIII, Division 1, 1971 Edition, paragraph UG-134(e) states, There shall

be no intervening stop valves between the vessel and its protective device or devices or

between the protective devices and the point of discharge The requirement to

comply with the ASME Code requirements was based on Unit 1 FSAR Table 3.2-2,

which states the minimum code requirements for Quality Group C pressure vessels must

comply with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section VIII, Division 1. The

Quality Group C designation for the safety-related portion of the CCW system was

provided in the Unit 1 DBD for CCW. The Unit 1 CCW Tank was procured per

specification FLO-8770-764, originally issued on October 31, 1971. Therefore, the

inspectors concluded that ASME Section VIII, Division 1, 1971 edition applied.

The team concluded that valve V6466 was an intervening stop valve for the CCW Surge

Tank vent path to the CDT. The licensee issued CRs 2009-25276 and 2009-23473 to

evaluate this condition. The licensees review determined that valve V6466 was a

normally open valve. Additionally, there were a number of floor drains (although not

formally maintained clear of blockages) that tie in the header between valves RCV-14-1

and V6466 that would provide an alternate relief path should valve V6466 be closed.

The licensees review of records for the past 10 years identified that for Unit 1, valve

V6466 was never closed. The licensee identified that for Unit 2, the valve had been

closed in the past, however, during that time, the drains were rerouted to an alternate

tank, thus providing the required relief path. The team concluded from this information

that this design deficiency did not represent an actual loss of safety system function.

The team reviewed the finding for cross-cutting and concluded that this finding did not

have an associated cross-cutting aspect because the design of the CCW surge tank

relief was established in an original plant design, therefore, not representative of current

licensee performance.

Analysis: The licensees failure to assure the CCW surge tank design included

adequate overpressure protection as required by the applicable ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code was identified as a performance deficiency. This finding,

associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Design Control, i.e.

initial design, was determined to be more than minor because it impacted the

cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that

respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team determined

that if left uncorrected, this design deficiency had the potential to impact the operability

of safety-related systems and, thus, become a more significant safety concern.

Specifically, during an overpressure event, if intervening valve V6466 was shut and the

floor drain lines clogged, the CCW surge tank vent path to the CDT would be obstructed

to the point that a loss of CCW surge tank could occur, therefore, increasing the

likelihood of a loss of CCW. The team assessed this finding for significance in

8

Enclosure

accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Attachment 1, Significance

Determination Process (SDP) for Reactor Inspection Findings for At-Power Situations,

and determined that it was of very low safety significance (Green), in that no actual loss

of safety system function was identified. The team concluded that this finding did not

have an associated cross-cutting aspect because the performance deficiency was not

reflective of current plant performance. The design of the CCW surge tank relief was

established during original plant design; and the last design change associated with the

CCW surge tank was in 2001.

Enforcement: 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in

part, that measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory

requirements and the design basis are correctly translated into specifications. Contrary

to the above, the licensee failed to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and

the design bases were correctly translated into actual plant specifications. The installed

CCW surge tank pressure relief protection did not meet the Code requirements

described in the Unit 1 FSAR Table 3.2-2. The FSAR required that the minimum code

requirements for Quality Group C pressure vessels to be ASME Boiler and Pressure

Vessel Code,Section VIII, Division 1. Specifically, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Code,Section VIII, Division 1 requirements for the overpressure protection for the CCW

surge tank were not properly implemented. This design deficiency was an original plant

design and has existed since the operating licenses were issued. Because this violation

was of very low safety significance (Green) and it was entered into the licensees

corrective action program as CR 2009-25276 and CR 2009-23473, this violation is being

treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV

05000335,389/2009006-01, Failure to Meet the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Code,Section VIII, Division 1 Requirements for the Overpressure Protection for the

Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the drawings, TS, and the FSAR to identify the design, maintenance,

and operational requirements for the instrument air (IA) emergency cooling system. The

team reviewed the system configuration and normal, abnormal, and emergency

operating procedures to verify correct implementation of the design bases. Maintenance

addressed. The team verified that the equipment periodic maintenance performed was

consistent with vendor recommendations. Additionally, the team conducted a field

walkdown of the IA emergency cooling system with the licensee staff to assess

observable material condition and to verify that the installed configuration was consistent

with the design basis and plant drawings.

b.

Findings

Introduction: An unresolved item (URI) was identified related to the performance

monitoring of the IA emergency cooling system. The team determined that the

performance monitoring did not provide reasonable assurance that the system was

capable of fulfilling its intended function. This failure to monitor the performance of the

IA emergency cooling system was a performance deficiency. The system was identified

to be in the scope of the maintenance rule (MR), 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1), Requirements for

Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants, because it is

included in the St. Lucie emergency operating procedures.

Description: The IA emergency cooling system is an alternate source of cooling for IA

compressors A and B. The system is a small, closed cooling system with a pump, head

tank, fan cooled radiator and connecting piping and valves to the IA compressors. The

normal cooling water to the compressors is provided by the turbine cooling water (TCW)

system which does not have power available after a loss of offsite power (LOOP)

accident. These IA compressors and the emergency cooling system pump are provided

with vital power so that the compressors can be manually loaded in accordance with

1[2]-EOP-09, Loss of Offsite Power, Rev. 38.

During the inspection, the team requested design, maintenance, or operational

documentation that would provide reasonable assurance that the emergency cooling

system could perform its intended function of providing adequate cooling for IA

compressors A and B during a LOOP event. There were no documented specifications,

analysis, or testing available to verify the adequacy of the emergency cooling water

system to support continued operation of the IA compressors. The team reviewed the

routine testing performed on the emergency cooling system and concluded that this

testing did not verify the system adequacy or provide the capability to identify potential

degradation of the equipment. For example, Procedure OSP-69.13A, ESF-18 Month

Surveillance for SIAS/CIS/CSAS, Rev. 2, aligned the IA emergency cooling system to

the 2B IA compressor; however, the test configuration was in parallel with the higher

capacity 2C IA compressor and, therefore, it was not possible to determine if the 2B IA

compressor was loaded and the emergency cooling system was capable of sustaining

loaded compressor operation. Procedure 2-0330020, Appendix H, Instrument Air

Emergency Cooling Test, Rev. 56, required the recirculation pump to be run for 30

minutes but stated that starting the IA compressor was an option. The licensee did not

provide past test information that demonstrated the IA compressor was run or loaded

during this routine test. The inspectors concluded that the routine testing performed

verified the flow path to the unloaded compressor but did not verify that the cooling

system was capable of supporting sustained operation of the compressor. The licensee

documented this issue in CR 2009-22766 and planned to perform a formal test of the

system to demonstrate its capabilities.

The team noted that the IA system at St. Lucie was a non-safety related system. Station

design was that air-operated components fail to a safe position or are provided with an

air accumulator. The emergency cooling system for the IA compressors was identified

to be in the scope of the MR because it is a non-safety related system that was used in

the emergency operating procedures (10 CFR 50.65(b)(2)).

Enclosure

This item will remain unresolved pending the completion of the stations testing, and

NRC review of the results of the IA emergency cooling systems capability to provide

cooling for the IA compressors under conditions comparable to those expected during a

LOOP event. The item is identified as URI 05000335,389/2009006-02, Adequacy of

Performance Monitoring of the IA Compressor Emergency Cooling System.

b.

Findings

Introduction: The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green)

involving a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, for the

licensees failure to maintain the safety-related 125V DC system design basis

information consistent with the plant configuration. Specifically, a revision to the Unit 1,

18

Enclosure

safety-related 125V DC system analysis (Calculation PSL-1FSE-05-002) incorporated

incorrect design input specifications related to the inverter, resulting in inaccurate design

basis information. The licensees failure to maintain the vital 125V DC design basis

information consistent with the plant configuration was identified as a performance

deficiency.

Description: The current revision of DC Calculation PSL-1FSE-05-002 did not reflect the

current configuration of the Unit 1 DC system. In 2006, the licensee prepared two

station modification packages to replace the existing safety-related inverters with new

ones. The replacement of these components, however, did not occur as scheduled and

had not occurred at the time of inspection. Based on licensee verbal information, the

installation of the inverters was scheduled for 2012. The licensee issued Revision 1 of

the above calculation on December 10, 2008. This revision included the proposed

replacement inverter equipment specifications as design inputs. The specifications for

the replacement inverters were less limiting than the presently installed inverters. In

particular, the installed inverters require a minimum of 105V DC to operate and have an

efficiency of 75 percent. The replacement inverters require 100V DC and have an

efficiency of 81 percent.

Through discussions with the licensee pertaining to the discrepancy between the current

plant configuration and the 125V DC system design analysis, the inspection team

determined that such discrepancies are permitted by the stations Quality Assurance

Procedure ENG-QI 1.5. Specifically, Section 5.1.C of ENG-QI 1.5 states: Calculations

may be created or revised to support modifications and issued before completion of the

modification. Since calculations are issued as-engineered, when a modification is

cancelled it may be necessary to revise calculations to return them to the correct

configuration. Since the QA procedure did not establish a time limit when a discrepancy

was allowed to exist between the design documentation and the configuration of the

plant, such discrepancy could exist for years, as in the case of the postponed

replacement of the inverters. The team was concerned that the existence of official

design documents that are inconsistent with the configuration of the plant might

invalidate conclusions pertaining to the operability and performance of structures,

systems, and components, particularly if, during the intervening period, other design

changes and plant modifications were developed on the assumption that the documents

of record reflect the current plant configuration. Regarding the incorrect inverter

minimum voltage information, the team was concerned that degradation of the battery in

subsequent years combined with the implementation of other potential modifications

could result in the nuclear safety-related inverters being unable to perform their design

safety function.

Analysis: The licensees failure to maintain the vital 125V DC design basis information

consistent with the plant configuration was identified as a performance deficiency. This

finding, associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Design Control

was more than minor because if left uncorrected, it had the potential to lead to a more

significant safety concern in that future design activity or operability assessments would

assume the lower voltage (100V DC vs. actual 105V DC) value was acceptable for

assuring the adequacy of voltage to the safety-related inverters. The team assessed

this finding for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, using the

Phase I SDP worksheet for mitigating systems and determined that the finding was of

19

Enclosure

very low safety significance (Green) since it was a design deficiency determined not to

have resulted in a loss of safety function. Regarding the programmatic concern about

configuration discrepancies permitted by procedure ENG-QI 1.5, the team did not

identify any other design document that was inconsistent with the current plant

configuration. This finding reflects current station performance because the identified

performance deficiency occurred in a calculation revision dated December 10, 2008.

The issue was identified to be programmatic because the station procedure for

controlling engineering calculations (ENG-QI-1.5) contributed to the performance

deficiency. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance

because the licensee failed to ensure that procedures (i.e. ENG-QI 1.5) were available

and adequate to assure nuclear safety (specifically, complete, accurate and up-to-date

design documentation). H.2(c)

Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that design

changes, including field changes, shall be subject to design control measures

commensurate with those applied to the original design. Contrary to the above, design

changes were not subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied

to the original design in that a revision to the Unit 1, safety-related 125V DC system

analysis (Calculation PSL-1FSE-05-002) incorporated incorrect design input

specifications related to the system inverter equipment. As a result, the stations Unit 1,

safety-related 125V DC system analysis, revised on December 10, 2008, did not reflect

the actual plant configuration and was not conservative in that it concluded that a

minimum voltage of 100V DC was adequate to assure operation of the safety-related

inverters. Because the finding was of very low safety significance and was entered into

the licensees corrective action program (CR 2009-24517), this violation is being treated

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

Policy: NCV 05000335,389/2009006-03, Failure to Maintain the Safety-Related 125V

DC System Design Basis Information Consistent with the Plant Configuration.

Review of Low Margin Operator Actions

a.

Inspection Scope

The team performed a margin assessment and detailed review of six risk significant and

time critical operator actions. Where possible, margins were determined by the review

of the assumed design basis and FSAR response times. For the selected operator

actions, the team performed a walkthrough of associated Emergency Operating

procedures (EOPs) abnormal operating procedures (AOPs), Normal Operating

Procedures (OPs), and other operations procedures with appropriate plant operators

and engineers to assess operator knowledge level, adequacy of procedures, availability

of special equipment when required, and the conditions under which the procedures

would be performed. The inspection team conducted detailed reviews with operations

and training department leadership, and observed operator training on the plant

simulator, to assess the procedural rationale and approach to meeting the design basis

and FSAR response and performance requirements. Operator actions were observed

on the plant simulator and during plant walk downs. Additionally, the team reviewed the

station configuration control for risk significant manual valves. This review included field

verification that the valve positions for a selected sample of risk significant manual

valves was consistent with applicable drawings and system operating procedures.

Generators, and Appendix J, Restoration of CCW and CBO to the RCPs, Rev. 38, did

not address the potential adverse impact on essential cooling flow required to mitigate a

LOCA when the non-essential CCW was restored.

Description: Emergency Operating Procedure 1-EOP-99, Appendix A and J, step 2,

directed the operator to restore non-essential CCW if the related isolation valve closed

due to the SIAS. Additionally, an input to isolate non-essential CCW was provided by a

low CCW surge tank level signal. The purpose of both signals was to assure adequate

cooling flow was provided to essential loads for design basis accident conditions.

The station CCW flow balance procedure (1-NOP-14.02, Rev. 20, Appendix I) positioned

system flow balance valves to establish cooling flow to the essential components based

on assumptions in the LOCA Containment Analysis, JPN-PSL-SENP-93-001, Rev. 0.

When establishing the essential cooling flow balance per this procedure, the non-

essential portion of the CCW system was isolated. Therefore, adequate essential

cooling flow was assured only when the non-essential portion of the system was

isolated. The EOP assured that CCW train separation was maintained when the non-

essential header was restored but did not address that the essential cooling load flow

would be diverted with the potential adverse impact on cooling capability for the

essential components, primarily the containment coolers used in containment pressure

control, the shutdown heat exchanger used for decay heat removal, and cooling for

emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pumps. The team concluded that the

procedure action to restore non-essential CCW flow after an SIAS signal adversely

impacted the licensees capability to assure adequate cooling of essential components

following a LOCA induced SIAS. In particular, this concern applied to the circumstance

of only one train of CCW being available during LOCA, assuming a single failure event

resulted in the loss of the redundant train.

Following identification by the team, the licensee initiated CR 2009-22623 to assess this

issue. The immediate compensatory action was to issue a standing order to the

operators related to Emergency Operating Procedure 1, 2-EOP-99 directing them to not

restore the non-essential CCW when responding to a SIAS when only one CCW train

was available. Additionally, the licensee initiated an evaluation to assess the impact on

essential CCW flow if non-essential CCW was restored to allow cooling of the RCPs and

21

Enclosure

the steam generator sample coolers. The licensees failure to provide adequate

procedures for restoration of non-essential CCW following a SIAS was identified as a

performance deficiency. The licensees evaluation, and the NRC review of this

evaluation, is needed to determine if adequate cooling would be available to essential

equipment following the LOCA induced SIAS when the non-essential CCW was

restored. This issue is being documented as URI 05000335, 389/2009006-04,

Inadequate Procedure for Restoration of Non-Essential CCW Flow Following a SIAS.

CCW Air Intrusion Event

a.

Inspection Scope

The team performed a detailed review of the condition reports related to the air intrusion

into the CCW system event that took place from 2:13 a.m. on October 16, 2008, through

4:02 a.m. on October 17, 2008.

b.

Findings

Introduction: The team identified an AV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design

Control, for the licensees failure to translate the design basis, as specified in the license

application, into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. Specifically, a

non-safety system failure (i.e. containment IA compressors) could cause a common

cause failure of both trains of a safety system (i.e. CCW system).

Description: The Unit 1 design included IA compressors inside containment. The Unit 1

CCW system non-essential header provided cooling and seal makeup to these IA

compressors. On October 16, 2008, an air intrusion event occurred in which air from the

IA compressors located inside containment entered into the CCW system. The licensee

determined the air intrusion into the CCW system was caused by the failures of IA

system check valves V1818A and V18060 to the IA receiver tank combined with the

failure of the IA unloading solenoid SE1814A. Additionally, leakage through the IA seal

water cooler, which interfaces with the CCW system, created pathways for air to enter

the CCW system.

The inspectors review of the CCW system CRs identified that the air intrusion event

occurred from 2:13 a.m. on October 16, 2008 through 4:02 a.m. on October 17, 2008.

The teams review identified that this event resulted in the degraded performance of both

trains of the Unit 1 CCW system and a potential loss of the CCW safety function.

Review of the control room operational logs, CR 2008-31947, CR 2008-34697 and,

CR2008-35753 identified that both CCW pumps exhibited motor amp fluctuations due to

the air intrusion. Subsequent to this, operators vented a significant amount of air from

the CCW system in order to return the system parameters to normal. The air intrusion

event demonstrated an original design deficiency on Unit 1 such that a non-safety

system (IA) could adversely impact the reliability, capability, and availability of the safety-

related CCW system. In this case, the design deficiency was a common cause failure

mechanism.

In addition to the air intrusion source discussed above, the team also determined that

this vulnerability potentially existed on the waste gas compressors since non-essential

CCW flow was also used for waste gas compressor aftercooler cooling. The waste gas

23

Enclosure

compressors run at approximately 160 psig system pressure and the CCW system

pressure is approximately 120 psig. The common cause failure vulnerability of the CCW

system from a failure in the waste compressor units was applicable to both Unit 1 and

Unit 2.

The CCW system essential header cools the containment fan coolers (CFCs), shutdown

cooling heat exchanger, and bearing/seal coolers for the containment spray, high

pressure safety injection, and low pressure safety injection pumps. The CCW trains are

normally cross-connected during normal operation. The team concluded that the air

intrusion affecting both CCW trains could have prevented the CCW system from

delivering the flow specified by the TS Surveillance Requirement 4.6.2.1.1 (1,200 gpm to

each cooling train fan unit), and reduced flow to the remaining safety-related heat

exchangers below the analyzed/required values. An additional impact of the air intrusion

into the CCW system was potential degradation of the safety-related heat exchangers

performance. The team concluded that given enough air introduction, the possibility

existed that the heat exchangers could become fully or partially air bound (e.g., upper

tube regions), thus significantly decreasing the heat transfer capability.

The combined effects of the reduced flow and the reduced heat transfer could lead to

the inability of the CCW system to perform the following safety-related functions:

Providing adequate cooling for those safety-related components associated with

containment and reactor decay heat removal during accident conditions.

Providing adequate cooling for those safety-related components associated with

achieving safe shutdown.

This event simultaneously affected both redundant trains of the CCW system (i.e.

introduced a common cause failure mechanism). FSAR section 9.2.2.3.2, Single Failure

Analysis, states in part: there is no single failure that could prevent the component

cooling system from performing its safety function. The licensees evaluation of the air

intrusion event failed to evaluate the operability consequences of the air intrusion on the

CCW flow reduction to the safety-related heat exchangers and failed to consider the

effect of the air intrusion on the heat exchangers performance. The licensee initiated

CR 2009-22929 with actions to evaluate the past operability of the CCW system during

the air intrusion event.

Analysis: An original plant design deficiency was revealed by the CCW air intrusion

event of October 16, 2008. This design deficiency involved the potential for a non-safety

system (IA or waste gas) adversely impacting the reliability, capability, and availability of

the safety-related CCW system. This design deficiency was identified as a performance

deficiency. In this case, the design deficiency introduced a common cause failure

mechanism. FSAR section 9.2.2.3.2, Single Failure Analysis, states, in part: there is no

single failure that could prevent the CCW system from performing its safety function.

This single failure vulnerability existed on Units 1 and 2 from potential failure of the

aftercoolers on the waste gas compressors and on Unit 1 from the potential failure of the

containment IA system.

24

Enclosure

The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the

Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of Equipment Performance. It impacted the

cornerstone objective because, if left uncorrected, it would affect the availability,

reliability and capability of a safety system to perform its intended safety function.

Specifically, with this vulnerability, a failure of the waste gas aftercooler (either unit) or a

failure of the containment IA compressors (Unit 1 only) could cause air intrusion into the

CCW system and potentially lead to a loss of CCW event. A loss of CCW could result in

inadequate cooling to essential equipment used to mitigate design bases accidents. The

finding was assessed for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609,

using the Phase I and Phase II SDP worksheets for mitigating systems.

It was determined that a Phase III analysis was required since this finding represented a

potential loss of safety system function for multiple trains which was not addressed by

the Phase II pre-solved tables/worksheets.

The preliminary Phase III analysis determined that for the air intrusion event of October

2008, it was reasonable to assume the initiating event frequency increased from the

baseline by at least one magnitude and therefore the performance deficiency was

preliminarily characterized as greater than Green. The preliminary Phase III analysis is

attached.

The team concluded that this finding did not have an associated cross-cutting aspect

because the design of the CCW system was established in an original plant design, and

therefore, was not representative of current licensee performance.

Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that the

design basis specified in the license application be correctly translated into

specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. FSAR section 9.2.2.3.2, Single

Failure Analysis, states in part: there is no single failure that could prevent the

component cooling system from performing its safety function. Contrary to the above,

the licensee failed to correctly translate the original design basis into specifications for

the design of the CCW system. Specifically, a non-safety system failure (i.e. waste gas

compressor aftercoolers, both units, or containment IA compressors, Unit 1 only) could

result in a common cause failure of both trains of a safety system (i.e. CCW system).

The air intrusion event revealed an original design deficiency that a non-safety system

(IA) could adversely impact the reliability, capability, and availability of safety related

CCW system. In this case, the design deficiency was a common cause failure

mechanism. This design deficiency was established in the original plant design and has

existed since the operating licenses were issued. This issue is being documented as AV

05000335, 389/2009006-05, Failure to Translate Design Basis Specifications to Prevent

Single Failure of CCW.

Introduction: The team identified an AV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI,

Corrective Action, for the licensees failure to identify a condition adverse to quality

associated with the CCW air intrusion event that occurred in October 2008. Following

the October 2008 event, the licensee failed to properly identify and correct the source of

the air intrusion into the CCW system prior to closing the associated Condition Report.

25

Enclosure

The licensees failure to identify the source (i.e. leak path from the containment IA

compressors to the CCW system) of air intrusion into the CCW system was identified as

a performance deficiency.

Description: The team reviewed CRs for the CCW system air intrusion event that took

place from October 16, 2008 through October 17, 2008. Review of the control room

operational logs, CR 2008-31947, CR 2008-34697 and, CR2008-35753 identified that

both CCW pumps exhibited motor amp fluctuations due to the air in the system.

Subsequent to this, operators vented a significant amount of air from the CCW pumps

and heat exchangers in order to return the system parameters to normal. As discussed

in section 4OA5 b.1, the licensee identified that the containment IA compressors

provided a pathway for which air intrusion into the CCW system could occur.

The teams review of the station data identified that the indicated maximum containment

IA pressure was approximately 113 psig during normal operation of the compressor.

The maximum identified pressure during the air intrusion event was 129 psig (CCW

system pressure is approximately 120 psig). The licensee identified that the elevated IA

pressure was attributed to a failure of the pressure switch that activates the unloader

solenoid or the solenoid itself, such that it remained closed keeping the unit loaded and

allowing header pressure to reach 129 psig.

The licensee determined that the most likely path for air intrusion into the CCW system

to be through the 1A containment IA compressors aftercooler (as documented in CR

2008-34697). Listed below is a summary of actions taken by the licensee:

Initial troubleshooting performed on November 10, 2008, under CR 2008-31947,

determined that IA aftercoolers, when tested to 100 psig with compressed air, did not

leak. CR 2008-31947 was subsequently closed to CR 2008-34697.

CR 2008-34697 identified that CCW to the IA compressor aftercoolers was not

needed and should remain isolated. TSA-1-08-013 was developed to accomplish

this task and CR 2008-34697 was closed to CR 2008-35753.

Subsequent troubleshooting was performed on November 18, 2008, under WO 38025447 and determined that IA aftercoolers, when tested to 120 psig with argon

gas, also did not leak.

CR 2008-35753 was closed on November 19, 2008. The closure was based on

isolation of the CCW from the aftercoolers to remove the risk of compressed air

entering the CCW System from this high pressure source.

The licensee performed an operability review of the CCW system and determined

the system was operable (CR 2008-31947). The corrective action documents did not

provide a basis for this determination.

The 1A compressor unloading solenoid valve body and internals were replaced on

November 21, 2008 (after the event). The licensees decision-making at the time of

the event resulted in the isolation of CCW cooling to both aftercoolers.

The team questioned the evaluation performed for the CCW air intrusion event which

included the operability evaluation, the basis for the conclusions and the suspected air

intrusion path. CR 2009-24030 was initiated to evaluate why a prompt operability

determination was not requested by the licensees operations department at the time of

the event. The licensee had not performed an engineering evaluation to support the

26

Enclosure

operability determination. Consequently, the licensee had not evaluated if the air

intrusion was significant enough to block cooling flow to safety-related components

during an accident. CR 2009-22929 was initiated to perform a past operability review to

address this concern.

The team identified to the licensee an additional air intrusion path, not previously

identified by the licensee. The team concluded that the most likely source for the air

intrusion was the CCW seal makeup interface with the IA compressor. The licensee

issued CR 2009-25209 to address the ineffective corrective actions for the air intrusion

event. The potential source of air intrusion into the CCW system from the containment

IA system was re-reviewed and re-evaluated by the licensee.

The licensee documented, in CR 2009-25209, that the most probable cause of the air

intrusion into the CCW system was the failure of 1A IA compressor unloader solenoid

(SE-18-14A) in conjunction with failure of check valves V1818A and V18060 to fully seat,

which could have allowed instrument air to enter the CCW system via the make-up line.

This failure mechanism explained why leak testing of the aftercoolers and seal water

cooler for containment IA compressor did not identify any leaks. The original evaluation

documented in CR 2008-31947 failed to identify or address this susceptibility. As

detailed above, the teams review of the troubleshooting and corrective actions

documented in CR 2008-31947, CR 2008-34697, CR 2008-35753, and Work Order

(WO) 38025447 determined that the licensee did not correctly identify the source of the

air intrusion. This vulnerability also potentially exists on both units should the

aftercoolers on the waste gas compressors fail. The waste gas compressors run at

approximately 160 psig pressure and the CCW system pressure is approximately 120

psig. The team concluded that the failure of a non-safety system (i.e. containment IA or

waste gas compressor) that could cause a common cause failure of both trains of a

safety-related system (i.e. CCW system) was a condition adverse to quality. The

licensee initiated CR 2009-23882 to address this concern.

Analysis: The licensees failure to identify and correct the source (i.e. leak path from the

containment IA compressors to the CCW system) of air intrusion into the CCW system

was identified as a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than

minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of

Equipment Performance. It impacted the cornerstone objective because it affected the

availability, reliability and capability of a safety system to perform its intended safety

function. Specifically, the failure to identify and correct the source of air intrusion into the

CCW system affected the ability of the system to ensure that adequate cooling would be

available or maintained to essential equipment used to mitigate design bases accidents.

The finding was assessed for significance in accordance with NRC Manual Chapter 0609, using the Phase I and Phase II SDP worksheets for mitigating systems. It also

was determined that a Phase III analysis was required since this finding represented a

potential loss of safety system function for multiple trains which was not addressed by

the Phase II pre-solved tables/worksheets.

27

Enclosure

The preliminary Phase III analysis determined that for the air intrusion event of October

2008, it was reasonable to assume the initiating event frequency increased from the

baseline by at least one magnitude and therefore the performance deficiency was

preliminarily characterized as greater than Green. The preliminary Phase III analysis is

attached.

This finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human

Performance, Decision Making, specifically, H.1(a), which states, the licensee makes

safety-significant or risk-significant decisions using a systematic process, especially

when faced with uncertain or unexpected plant conditions, to ensure safety is

maintained. The inspectors determined that the licensees decision to close the

associated corrective action documents without finding the cause of the air intrusion

contributed to extending the length of time that the CCW system was susceptible to this

common cause failure mode.

Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part,

that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as

failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and

nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above,

following the discovery of air in the CCW system on October 16, 2008, the licensee

failed to identify and correct the source of the air intrusion into the CCW system and

closed the associated Condition Report. As a result, the plant remained susceptible to a

non-safety system failure (i.e. containment IA compressors), which could cause a

common cause failure of both trains of a safety system (i.e. CCW System), for

approximately one year. This issue is being documented as AV 05000335,

389/2009006-06, Failure to Identify and Correct a Condition Adverse to Quality such that

a Non-Safety Related System Could Cause a Common Mode Failure of Both Trains of a

Safety-Related System.

PHASE III ANALYSIS

SRA Analysis Number: STL0904

Analysis Type: SDP Phase III

Inspection Report: 05000335, 389/2009006

Plant Name: St. Lucie

Unit Numbers: 1 & 2

Enforcement Action EA-09-321

BACKGROUND - Air intrusion into the CCW system occurred on October 16, 2008, and was

originally documented in CR 2008-31947. This air intrusion event on Unit 1 affected the CCW

system to the extent that both operating CCW pumps, one in each train, were cavitating as

evidenced by fluctuating amp indication. It was identified that the containment instrument air

compressors provided a pathway for which air intrusion into the system occurred. This

vulnerability also exists, on both units, should the aftercoolers on the waste gas compressors

fail. The waste gas compressors run at approximately 160 psig and the CCW system pressure

is approximately 120 psig. Original design deficiency: Non-safety related instrument air

compressor inside containment (Unit 1 only) and waste gas air compressor (both units) provide

a common vulnerability for safety related component cooling water (CCW) system. FSAR

section 9.2.2.3.2, Single Failure Analysis for the CCW system, states in part: there is no single

failure that could prevent the component cooling system from performing its safety function.

Therefore, the air intrusion that affected both trains of the CCW system was a significant

condition adverse to quality.

PERFORMANCE DEFICIENCY - Section 4OA5 of the report discusses the air intrusion in

detail. The air intrusion potentially rendered both trains of the safety-related CCW system

inoperable. Two performance deficiencies were identified associated with this issue. The first

performance deficiency involved a common cause failure vulnerability of the CCW system.

Specifically, a non-safety system failure could result in a common cause failure of both trains of

the CCW system. The second performance deficiency involved the failure to identify and

correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, the licensee failed to properly determine the

source of the air in-leakage into the CCW system and take appropriate corrective actions

following the air intrusion event that occurred in October 2008. Further, the licensees corrective

action evaluation did not identify the common cause failure vulnerability discussed in the first

performance deficiency.

EXPOSURE TIME - One year will be used.

DATE OF OCCURRENCE - October 2008

SAFETY IMPACT > Green

RISK ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATIONS

Assumptions

1. The performance deficiency will be modeled as an increase in the probability of an initiating

event, Loss of the CCW system.

2

Attachment

2. With respect to Unit 1 the performance deficiency caused a failure or an imminent failure of

the CCW system. Given the condition of the pumps and the surge tank level perturbations, the

probability of failure will be set at 1.0 for the one year exposure time.

3. Given the response of the operators to the abnormal condition of the CCW system, recovery

credit is appropriate. A 0.1 failure probability will be assigned to operators failing to recognize

and mitigate the air intrusion before air binding of the pumps happens.

4. With respect to Unit 2 a non-conforming case initiating event frequency will be set at 1/55

years. This is based upon the number of years that Unit 1 and 2 have been in service since

their operating licenses were issued. Recovery will be applied here also.

5. No recovery will be considered after air intrusion severe enough to cause CCW pump failure.

6. The non-conforming case will be considered the delta core damage frequency case. This is

due to at least a magnitude shift in the core damage frequency results between the non-

conforming and conforming cases.

PRA Model used for basis of the risk analysis: Licensees full scope model

Significant Influence Factor(s) [if any]: How severe the air intrusion was on the CCW systems

ability to perform its numerous risk significant functions.

CALCULATIONS

The top 10,000 cutsets from the full scope model were screened for a loss of CCW system

initiator. A loss of Train A Surge Tank and Train B in test and maintenance was selected.

Those cutsets with these events were extracted and are shown in Appendix 2. Once the

initiating event is removed, only one basic event remained in the accident sequence, operators

fail to trip the operating Reactor Coolant Pumps. This basic event failure probability was 3.3E-3

and represents the conditional core damage probability given a Loss of CCW. This CCDP was

comparable to SPAR in the GEM mode.

Applying the Unit 1 non-conforming case initiating event frequency of 1.0 yields a core damage

frequency of 3.3E-3 for the exposure period. Applying the non-recovery term (see Attachment 3

for its detailed development) of 0.1 yields a core damage frequency of 3.3E-4 for the exposure

period.

Applying the Unit 2 non-conforming case initiating event frequency of 1.8E-2/yr to the CCDP of

3.3E-3 yields a core damage frequency of 6E-5. Applying the non-recovery term of 0.1 yields a

final core damage frequency of 6E-6 for the exposure period.

EXTERNAL EVENTS CONSIDERATIONS - Due to the nature of the performance deficiency

which increases the frequency of an internal events initiator, external events consideration is not

warranted.

LARGE EARLY RELEASE FREQUENCY IMPACT - Since there is not an increase in SGTR or

ISLOCA accident sequences, LERF is not the appropriate decision making metric.

RECONCILIATION BETWEEN PHASE III AND PLANT NOTEBOOK/ PHASE II RESULTS -

The dominant accident sequence from the Phase II Notebook is Loss of CCW followed by

operators failing to trip the RCP leading directly to a large seal LOCA and core damage. The

sequence is assigned a nominal value of 6 - four for the initiating event frequency and two for

the operator error. Phase III results in a lower probability of operators tripping the RCP of 3E-3.

Therefore, the color is the same in both phases but, numerically a magnitude higher in the

Phase II result. This shows reconciliation between the two phases.

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS - Given the present information associated with the air

intrusion of October 2008, it is reasonable to assume the initiating event frequency increased by

at least a magnitude. Such a shift with recovery is in the White zone of safety characterization.

Assuming that CCW was in imminent failure the safety characterization shifts into the red zone,

even with recovery. Therefore, this performance deficiency should be preliminarily

characterized as >Green with the intent to acquire as much information about air intrusion into

the CCW system as:

an initiator for Loss of the CCW system

an undetected failure mechanism of any CCW functions while the equipment is in

standby
