Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection
External Flooding
a. Inspection Scope
During the period of August 7 to 11, 2017, the inspectors performed an inspection of the external flood protection measures for Seabrook. The inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Chapters 2.4.2.2 and 3.4.1, which depicts the design flood levels and areas containing safety-related equipment to identify areas that may be affected by external flooding.

.2 Annual Sample:
Emergency Diesel Generator Jacket Water Heat Exchanger Tube Leaks
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in-depth review of NextEras apparent cause evaluation and corrective actions associated with CR 2178517, which documented a tube leak in the B EDG jacket water heat exchanger, in January 2017. In particular, the leak represented a second tube failure event since November 2016 associated with the EDG heat exchanger for new tubes installed in May 2016.
The inspectors assessed NextEras problem identification threshold, cause analyses, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and the prioritization and timeliness of corrective actions to determine whether NextEra was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken to the requirements of NextEras CAP and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
NextEra determined the most probable cause of the tube failures was manufacturing defects on a new set of 58 tubes replaced in May 2016. NextEra determined the most likely cause for having a second tube failure in as many months was the failure to perform Eddy Current Testing (ECT), (non-destructive tube analysis), during the November 2016 event failure investigation, which would have identified these manufacturing defects in the tubes replaced in May 2016.
NextEra sent a sample of tubes for lab analysis to confirm that manufacture defects were the cause of the premature tube failures. Temporary corrective actions were performed following the January 2017 tube failure until all the tubes were replaced during the April 2017 outage. The temporary corrective actions included plugging the suspect tubes to prevent contaminating the jacket water. Because the heat transfer area was reduced by plugging the suspect tubes, an evaluation was performed to ensure the B EDG remained operable. No further tube leaks occurred between January and April 2017.
Although the NextEra subject matter expert recommended ECT of the tubes during the November 2016 investigation, it was not performed to minimize 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of unavailability for the B EDG, as the ECT contractor was not immediately available. In hindsight, the evaluation determined that this was not the correct decision as another failure occurred within a relatively short amount of time. However, this did not place Seabrook in undue risk as the leakage that did occur was of insufficient magnitude to render the B EDG inoperable, and the station was timely in addressing the tube failure in January 2017 before the conditions worsened. Corrective actions included a revision to the maintenance procedure that requires ECT on heat exchangers following tube replacement or any repairs affecting the tubing.
The inspectors determined that NextEras evaluation and extent-of-condition reviews were thorough, and the causes were appropriately identified. The inspectors also determined that the corrective actions were reasonable and addressed the tube leaks in the B EDG jacket water heat exchanger.
