SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Inspection Report (IR) 050003 46/2012005; 07200014/2012001; 10/1/2012-12/31/2012; Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station

Licensed Operator Requalification Program

. This report covers a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One Green finding w as identified by the inspectors.

The finding w as dispositioned as a non-cited violation (NCV) of NRC regulations. 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 NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG

-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A.

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

N RC-Identified and Self-Revealed Findings GreenThis finding was associated with the Initiating Events Cornerstone of reactor safety and was of more than minor significance because it directly impacted the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations.

The inspectors reviewed this finding using the guidance contained in Appendix B, "Issue Screening," of I MC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports.

" The inspectors determined that the licensee

's incorrect actions in attempting to respond to the power transient by taking the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS to manual and attempting to reduce power using that station with the Diamond panel in manual was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within the licensee's ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.

The finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because it did not adversely impact any of the following parameters:

. A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1(a) were identified following the control room crew's response to a small power rise that occurred while shifting the plant's Integrated Control System (ICS) to the "track" mode of operation on October 24, 2012.

Specifically, the Unit Supervisor, a licensed senior reactor operator (SRO), directed an on-shift reactor operator (RO) to place the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS in manual and lower power in response to the observed reactor power increase.

However, because the plant's control rod drive (CRD) control station (known as the "Diamond panel") was already in manual as part of the planned ICS transfer to "track" mode, the signal from the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station only was passed through to the Feedwater (FW) System and not to the CRD System. As a result, average coolant temperature and pressurizer level both rose due to a mismatch between reactor power and steam generator power and caus ed an unplanned short-duration entry into TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.9 , Condition A, for pressurizer level above the TS limit of 228 inches

. The condition was corrected and corrective action program documents generated to review the event

. o Loss-of-Coolant Accident initiators

o Transient initiators

o Support System Loss initiators

o Steam Generator Tube Rupture initiators

o r o External Event Initiators

. Th e finding ha d a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution , corrective action program (CAP) component, because the licensee failed to take corrective action for the ICS/Unit Load Demand (ULD) power error anomaly in a timely manner, commensurate with the issue's safety significance and complexity. (P.1 (d)) (Section 1R1 1.2) B. Violations of very low safety significance that were identified by the licensee have been reviewed by inspectors. Corrective actions planned or taken by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's CAP. These violations and corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

REPORT DETAILS

The unit began the inspection period operating at full power.

Throughout the inspection period plant operators performed several small power maneuvers (i.e., power reductions of 10 percent power or less) to facilitate planned testing and maintenance of certain equipment and components. On November 9, 2012, plant power was reduced to approximately 50 percent. Operators removed one circulating water pump from service and isolated circulating water flow to the inner loop of the low-pressure main condenser to facilitate condenser tube leak repairs. The unit returned to full power operation on November 12, 2012, and continued operating at or near full power for the remainder of the inspection period

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstone s: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, and Emergency Preparedness

1R01 Adverse Weather Protection

.1

a. Winter Seasonal Readiness Preparations The inspectors conducted a review of the licensee's preparations for winter conditions to verify that the plant's design features and implementation of procedures were sufficient to protect mitigating systems from the effects of adverse weather. Documentation for selected risk

-significant systems was reviewed to ensure that these systems would remain functional when challenged by inclement weather. During the inspection, the inspectors focused on plant specific design features and the licensee's procedures used to mitigate or respond to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) and performance requirements for systems selected for inspection, and verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant specific procedures. Cold weather protection, such as heat tracing and area heaters, was verified to be in operation where applicable. The inspectors also reviewed corrective action program (CAP) items to verify that the licensee was identifying adverse weather issues at an appropriate threshold and entering them into their CA P in accordance with station corrective action procedures.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. The inspectors' reviews focused specifically on the following plant systems due to their risk significance or susceptibility to cold weather issues:

Inspection Scope Service water (SW) system; and Borated Water Storage Tank and associated piping

. The inspectors' reviews constituted a single winter seasonal readiness preparation s inspection sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP)

71111.01 - 05.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings 4 Enclosure 1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1

a. Quarterly Partial System Alignment Verification s The inspectors performed partial system alignment verification inspections of the following risk

-significant systems:

Inspection Scope Decay Heat (DH) and Low Pressure Injection (LPI) Train 1 when Train 2 was unavailable for planned testing during the week ending October 13, 2012; and High Pressure Injection (HPI)

Train 2 when Train 1 was unavailable for planned maintenance and testing during the week ending October 27, 2012.

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system and therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, the U SAR , Technical Specifications (TS) requirements, outstanding work orde rs (WOs), condition reports (CR s), and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the CAP with the appropriate significance characterization. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report

. These partial system alignment verification activities constituted two inspection samples as defined in IP

71111.04 - 05.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings

.2 a. Semi-Annual Complete System Alignment Verification

During the period from November 26 through December 7, 2012, the inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the station's Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) system to verify the functional capability of the system. The AFW system was selected because it was considered both safety significant and risk significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups; electrical power availability; system pressure and temperature indications, as appropriate; component labeling; component lubrication; component and equipment cooling; hangers and supports; operability of support systems; and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with Inspection Scope

5 Enclosure equipment operation.

A review of a sample of past and outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the CAP database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report

. These activities constituted a single complete system alignment verification inspection sample as defined in IP

71111.04 - 05.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings 1R05 Fire Protection

.1

a. Quarterly Resident Inspector Fire Zone Inspections The inspectors conducted fire protection zone inspections which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

Inspection Scope Turbine Building Heater Bay and Turbine Pedestal Area (Rooms 326 and 334, Fire Area II);

Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Pump Room 1

-1 (Room 105, Fire Area AB); DH Cooler Room and Hatch Area (Rooms 113 and 113A, Fire Area AB

); and Low Voltage Switchgear Room F Bus and Battery Room B (Rooms 428 and 428A, Fire Area X)

. The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out

-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the Attachment to this report, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's CAP. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted four quarterly fire protection zone inspection samples as defined in IP

71111.05 - 05.

Findings

.2 a. Annual Fire Protection Drill Observation

On November 20, 2012, the inspectors observed the licensee's fire brigade respond to a simulated electrical fire in the Station Blackout Diesel Generator's (SBODG) switchgear. Based on their observations, the inspectors evaluated the readiness of the plant fire brigade to fight fires. The inspectors verified that the licensee staff identified deficiencies; openly discussed them in a self

-critical manner during the drill debrief, and took appropriate corrective actions. Specific attributes evaluated were:

Inspection Scope The proper wearing of turnout gear and self

-contained breathing apparatus; The proper use and layout of fire hoses; The employment of appropriate fire fighting techniques; That sufficient firefighting equipment was brought to the scene; The effectiveness of fire brigade leader communications, command, and control; The search for victims and propagation of the fire into other plant areas; S moke removal operations; The utilization of pre-planned strategies; The adherence to the pre-planned drill scenario; and The satisfactory completion of the drill objectives.

Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

These activities constituted a single annual fire protection drill inspection sample as defined in IP

b. No findings were identified.

Findings 1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Progra m.1 (71111.11)a. Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Simulator Training On October 31, 2012, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during their graded NRC periodic requalification simulator exam. The inspectors verified that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and that training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. In addition, the inspectors verified that the licensee's personnel were observing NRC examination security protocols to ensure that the integrity of the periodic requalification examination was being protected from being compromised. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

Inspection Scope Licensed operator performance; The clarity and formality of communications; The ability of the crew to take timely and conservative actions; The crew's prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms; The correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures by the crew; Control board manipulation s; The oversight and direction provided by licensed senior reactor operators (SROs); and The ability of the crew to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan actions and notifications.

The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted a single quarterly licensed operator requalification program simulator sample as defined in IP

71111.11 - 05.

b. Findings

Operator Error in Response to a Small Power Transient Momentarily Renders Technical Specification Equipment Inoperable A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of TS 5.4.1(a) were identified following the control room crew's response to a small power rise that occurred while shifting the plant's ICS to the "track" mode of operation on October 24, 2012. Specifically, the Unit Supervisor, a licensed SRO, directed an on

-shift Reactor Operator (RO) to place the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS in manual and lower power in response to the observed reactor power increase. However, because the plant's control rod drive (CRD) station (known as the "Diamond panel") was already in manual as part of the planned ICS transfer to "track" mode, the signal from the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station only was passed through to the Feedwater System and not to the CRD System. As a result, average coolant temperature and pressurizer level both rose due to a mismatch between reactor power and steam generator power and caus ed an unplanned entry into TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.9 , Condition A, for pressurizer level above the TS limit of 228 inches

. Introduction During a recent plant outage in fall of 2011 to replace the reactor vessel closure head, the licensee enacted a modification to the ICS and replaced one of its four main subsystem modules, the Unit Load Demand (ULD), with a new digital ULD to improve overall ICS reliability. An unintended result of this modification was the introduction of a small power error into the ICS, which manifested itself as a small increase in plant power on the order of about 0.5 percent whenever the ICS was shifted into "track" mode of operation. This error was known to plant operators and was being investigated through the licensee's CAP by the engineering staff, but was essentially considered to be nothing more than a minor operational nuisance.

Description On the afternoon of October 24, 2012, the on-watch control room cre w was preparing to place the plant into proper conditions to support planned periodic testing of the "D" reactor trip breaker. Historically, these preparations included slightly lowering plant power by about one to two percent and then prohibiting any automatic control rod 9 Enclosure movement by placing the Diamond panel in manual and the ICS into "track" mode of operation. Just prior to placing the Diamond panel into manual, the ICS demanded an automatic control rod withdrawal to facilitate a normal adjustment to reactor coolant system (RCS) temperature. This automatic control rod withdrawal was extremely brief and went unnoticed by the on

-watch crew in the control room. Just after placing the Diamond panel into manual and the ICS into "track" mode of operation, the on

-watch control room crew noted that reactor power was rising as expected. However, because of the automatic control rod withdrawal that went unnoticed by the crew, the magnitude of the power increase was larger than what the crew expect ed , and they concluded that manual action was required to halt the power increase.

The Unit Supervisor, believing that some unknown problem with the ULD was responsible for the power increase, directed the on

-watch RO to place the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS in manual and lower power using that station. This would have been an acceptable action had the ICS been in full automatic. However, with the Diamond panel already in manual and the ICS in the "track" mode , this was an incorrect decision.

The on-watch RO recommended twice that he should use the Diamond panel to manually insert control rods to reduce reactor power, but the Unit Supervisor overrode this recommendation and continued to direct that the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS be placed in manual and that power be reduced using that station. The on

-watch RO, assuming that the Unit Supervisor was seeing another indication that he did not see, took the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS to manual and attempted to lower power using that station in two small increments. With the Diamond panel in manual, this resulted in sending a signal to the FW side of the steam generators to reduce power while the corresponding signal t o the reactor to reduce power was blocked. As a result, average reactor coolant temperature and pressurizer level both increased unexpectedly due to a mismatch between reactor power and steam generator secondary side power.

The increase in pressurizer level resulted in the "High Level" annunciator alarming. The on-watch Shift Manager was alerted in his adjacent office by this alarm and proceeded to the main area of the control room to assess the situation. He directed the Unit Supervisor to enter DB

-OP-02526, "Primary to Secondary Heat Transfer Upset," and the crew was directed to take actions to stabilize the plant in accordance with this procedure. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector, alerted by the plant announcement that a primary to secondary heat balance upset was occurring, responded to the control room and monitored the crew's actions to stabilize the plant and recover from the transient.

Per the shift log, pressurizer level exceeded its TS limit of 228 inches and rendered the pressurizer inoperable at 12:02 p.m. Pressurizer level came back down within specifications at 12:04 p.m., with the highest level recorded having been 228.6 inches.

Similarly, per the shift log and plant recorders, the highest plant power observed during the event was 99.95 percent on the highest reading nuclear instrument channel.

The licensee's investigation identified multiple apparent and contributing causes for the event. Chiefly amongst these was that the Operations Department had developed a tolerance for the power error introduced by the modification that installed the new digital ULD. This, in turn, had led to a situation where plant procedures for the operation of the ICS with the new ULD contained insufficient guidance on how to deal with the error, as 10 Enclosure well as a situation in which training had not been utilized to ensure that all Operations Department personnel had an adequate level of knowledge concerning how the ICS operated with the power error in place.

The inspectors reviewed this finding using the guidance contained in Appendix B, "Issue Screening," of Inspection Manual Chapter (I MC) 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports." The inspectors determined that the licensee

's incorrect actions in attempting to respond to the power transient by taking the Steam Generator/Reactor Demand control station for the ICS to manual and attempting to reduce power using that station with the Diamond panel in manual was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within the licensee's ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. This finding was associated with the Initiating Events Cornerstone of reactor safety and was of more than minor significance because it directly impacted the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations.

Analysis The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process for Findings At

-Power." U sing Exhibit 1, which contains the screening questions for the Initiating Events Cornerstone of reactor safety, the inspectors determined that the finding screened as very low safety significance (Green) because it did not adversely impact any of the following parameters:

Loss-of-Coolant Accident initiators

Transient initiators

Support System Loss initiators

Steam Generator Tube Rupture initiators

or External Event Initiators

. This finding ha d a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R),CAP component, because the licensee failed to take corrective action for the ICS/ULD power error anomaly in a timely manner, commensurate with the issue's safety significance and complexity. (P.1 (d)) Technical Specification 5.4.1(a) requires the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain applicable written procedures for the safety

-related systems and activities recommended in RG 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A.

Section 2(g) of RG 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, requires procedures for the proper operation of the plant at power, which would include any and all operations involving the ICS.

Contrary to this requirement, the licensee failed to properly prepare and implement technically adequate written procedures for the operation of the ICS with the power error introduced from the modification to install the licensee's new digital ULD , such that the on

-watch control room crew lacked sufficient procedural guidance regarding the transfer of the ICS to "track" mode on October 24, 2012, and a resulting plant transient rendered the pressurizer TS inoperable for a brief period.

Enforcement Because this finding was of very low safety significance

, had been entered into the licensee's CAP

, and the licensee had taken or planned corrective actions under

11 Enclosure CRs 20 12-16833, 20 12-17419 , and 201 2-17995, the associated violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

Corrective action s taken by the licensee included applicable procedure revisions to provide detailed instructions to crews for transferring the ICS to "track" mode, as well as training for all operators on this issue. Additionally, the licensee has planned physical modifications to the ICS and the ULD in the next refuel outage to correct the power error issue. (NCV 05000346/2012005

.3 a. Biennial Written and

Annual Operating Test Results The inspectors reviewed the overall pass/fail results of the Biennial Written Examination, and the Annual Operating Test as administered by the licensee from October 1 through December 7, 2012, and required by 10 CFR 55.59(a). The results were compared to the thresholds established in I MC 0609, Appendix I, "Licensed Operator Requalification SDP ," to assess the overall adequacy of the licensee's Licensed Operator Requalification Training (LORT) program to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59. Inspection Scope The inspectors' reviews constituted a single annual licensed operator requalification inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.11 A. b. No findings were identified.

Findings

.4 a. Biennial Review

The following inspection activities were conducted during the week of November 26, 2012, to assess:

1) the effectiveness and adequacy of the facility licensee's implementation and maintenance of its systems approach to training (SAT) based LORT program , put into effect to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59; 2) conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR 55.46 for use of a plant referenced simulator to conduct operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements; and 3) conformance with the operator license conditions specified in 10 CFR 55.53. The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report

. Inspection Scope PI&R (10 CFR 55.59(c); SAT Element 5 as Defined in 10 CFR 55.4): The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to assess the effectiveness of its LORT program and their ability to implement appropriate corrective actions to maintain its LORT Program up to date. The inspectors reviewed documents related to the plant's operating history a nd associated responses (e.g., plant issue matrix and performance review reports; recent examination and inspection reports; licensee event reports (LERs)). The inspectors reviewed the licensee's quality assurance (QA) oversight activities, including licensee training department self

-assessment reports. The PI&R portion of this inspection has not been completed, pending further review of operator performance issues including corrective actions and root cause evaluation associated with CR 2012

-16833, "After Placing Rod Control Panel Into Manual an Unexpected Power Rise Was Observed by the ATC RO."

Licensee Requalification Examinations (10 CFR 55.59(c); SAT Element 4 as Defined in 10 CFR 55.4)- The inspectors reviewed the methodology used to construct the examination including content, level of difficulty , and general quality of the examination/test materials. The inspectors also assessed the level of examination material duplication from week

-to-week for both, the operating tests and examinations administered in 2012. The inspectors reviewed a sample of the written examinations and associated answer keys to check for consistency and accuracy.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for development and administration of the LORT biennial written examination and annual operating tests to assess the licensee's ability to develop and administer examinations that are acceptable for meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59(a). - The inspectors observed the administration of the annual operating test to assess the licensee's effectiveness in conducting the examinations, including the conduct of pre

-examination briefings, evaluations of individual operator and crew performance, and post

-examination analysis. The inspectors evaluated the performance of one crew in parallel with the facility evaluators during four dynamic simulator scenarios, and evaluated various licensed crew members concurrently with facility evaluators during the administration of several job performance measures

. - The inspectors assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the remedial training conducted since the last requalification examinations and the training planned for the current examination cycle to ensure that they addressed weaknesses in licensed operator or crew performance identified during training and plant operations. The inspectors reviewed remedial training procedures and individual remedial training plans.

Conformance with Examination Security Requirements (10 CFR 55.49 ): The inspectors conducted an assessment of the licensee's processes related to examination physical security and integrity (e.g., predictability and bias) to verify compliance with 10 CFR 55.49, "Integrity of Examinations and Tests." The inspectors reviewed the facility licensee's examination security procedure, a nd observed the implementation of physical security controls (e.g., access restrictions and simulator input/output controls

) and integrity measures (e.g., security agreements, sampling criteria, bank use, and test item repetition) throughout the inspection period. Conformance with Simulator Requirements Specified in 10 CFR 55.46: The inspectors assessed the adequacy of the licensee's simulation facility (simulator) for use in operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements. The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator performance test records (e.g., transient tests, malfunction tests, scenario based tests, post

-event tests, steady state tests, and core performance tests), simulator discrepancies, and the process for ensuring continued assurance of simulator fidelity in accordance with 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the discrepancy corrective action process to ensure that simulator fidelity was being maintained. Open simulator discrepancies were reviewed for importance relative 13 Enclosure to the impact on 10 CFR 55.45 and 55.59 operator actions as well as on nuclear and thermal hydraulic operating characteristics.

Conformance with Operator License Conditions (10 CFR 55.53)Because the PI&R portion of the inspection has not yet been completed, the inspectors' reviews did not constitute an inspection sample but only represented a partial sample. Completion of the remaining activities to constitute the full inspection sample is anticipated during the first calendar quarter of 2013.

The inspectors reviewed the facility licensee's program for maintaining active operator licenses and to assess compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(e) and (f). The inspectors reviewed the procedural guidance and the process for tracking on

-shift hours for licensed operators, and which control room positions were granted watch

-standing credit for maintaining active operator licenses. Additionally, medical records for seven licensed operators were reviewed for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53(I). b. No findings were identified.

Findings 1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

.1

a. Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk

-significant and safety

-related equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

Inspection Scope Emergent activities during the week ending November 10, 2012 , associated with a downpower to address a condenser tube leak. The plant reduced power to approximately 50 percent power, removed one FW pump from service and removed the inner condenser loop from service to complete condenser tube leak repairs; and Planned activities during the week ending December 1, 2012, to replace main turbine throttle control valve modules within ICS that had been damaged by a lightning strike some weeks earlier. These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. The inspectors' reviews of these maintenance risk assessments and emergent work control activities constituted two inspection samples as defined in IP

71111.13 - 05.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings 15 Enclosure 1R15 Operability Determinations and Functional Assessments

-18031; and Operability of Control Room Envelope with one set of dampers inoperable, as documented in CR 2012

-02644. The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and USAR to the licensee's evaluations to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determine d whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations. Documents reviewed are listed in the to this report

. The inspectors' reviews of these operability evaluations constituted three inspection samples as defined in IP

71111.15 - 05.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings 1R19 Post-Maintenance Testing

a. Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the RCS specific activity Performance Indicator (PI) for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station for the period from the fourth quarter 2011 through the third quarter 2012. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99

-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, dated October 2009, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's RCS chemistry samples, TS requirements, issue reports, event reports, and NRC Integrated Inspection Reports to validate the accuracy of the submittals. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's issue report database to Inspection Scope

22 Enclosure determine if any problems had been identified with the PI data collected or transmitted for this indicator and none were identified. In addition to record reviews, the inspectors observed a chemistry technician obtain and analyze a RCS sample. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

This inspection constituted a single reactor coolant system specific activity sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. No findings were identified.

Findings

.2 a. Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness

The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the occupational radiological occurrences PI for the period from the fourth quarter 2011 through the third quarter 2012. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline," Revision 6, dated October 2009, to determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's assessment of the PI for occupational radiation safety to determine if indicator

-related data was adequately assessed and reported. To assess the adequacy of the licensee's PI data collection and analyses, the inspectors discussed with RP staff, the scope and breadth of its data review and the results of those reviews. The inspectors independently reviewed electronic personal dosimetry dose rate and accumulated dose alarms and dose reports and the dose assignments for any intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine if there were potentially unrecognized occurrences.

The inspectors also conducted walkdowns of numerous locked high and very high radiation area entrances to determine the adequacy of the controls in place for these areas. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope This inspection constituted a single occupational exposure control effectiveness sample as defined in IP 71151-05. b. No findings were identified.

Findings

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

.1

a. Routine Review of Items Entered into the Corrective Action Program As part of the various baseline IPs discussed in previous sections of this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plan t status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensee's CAP at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and addressed. Attributes reviewed included: identification of the problem was complete and accurate; timeliness was commensurate with the safety significance; evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent-of-condition reviews, and previous occurrences reviews were proper and adequate; and that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue. Minor issues entered into the licensee's CAP as a result of the inspectors' observations are included in the Attachment to this report.

Inspection Scope These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute any additional inspection samples.

Instead, by procedure they were considered an integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in Section 1 of this report.

b. No findings were identified.

Findings

.2 a. Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow

-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee's CAP. This review was accomplished through inspection of the station's daily condition report packages.

Inspection Scope These daily reviews were performed by procedure as part of the inspectors' daily plant status monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

24 Enclosure b. No findings were identified.

Findings

.3 a. Semi-Annual Trend Review:

Control Rod Drive and Integrated Control Systems The inspectors performed a review of the licensee's CAP and associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' review was focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also considered the results of daily inspector CAP item screening discussed in Section 4OA2.2 above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human performance results. The inspectors' review nominally considered the 6 month period of July 1 through December 31, 2012, although examples expanded beyond those dates where the scope of the trend warranted.

Inspection Scope The review also included issues documented outside the normal CAP in major equipment problem lists, repetitive and/or rework maintenance lists, departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, QA audit/surveillance reports, self assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the licensee's CAP trending reports. Corrective actions associated with a sample of the issues identified in the licensee's trending reports were reviewed for adequacy.

This review constituted a single semi

-annual trend inspection sample as defined in IP

71152 - 05.

b. In conjunction with the review of the power transient event documented in Section 1R11.2 of this report, the inspectors noted that two of the licensee's key plant control systems, CRD and ICS, exhibited adverse trends primarily related to component aging issues. These systems, while not safety

-related, are used and relied upon by plant operators on a continuous basis to both maneuver reactor power and to maintain the plant stable at a steady

-state power. Specific issues are discussed below:

Observations

(1) The system has been classified as "yellow" (needs improvement) since the Fourth Quarter of 2010. Multiple outstanding WOs are listed as part of the licensee's improvement plan for the system, almost all of which require plant outage conditions to facilitate accomplishment. The final element of the licensee's improvement plan calls for the complete replacement of the CRD system with a newer, up

-to-date model system tentatively set for the plant's 19 th refueling outage (RFO) in 2016. Control Rod Drive System

(2) With the exception of the Fourth Quarter of 2011 and the First Quarter of 2012

, when system performance was classified as "white" (acceptable), the ICS performance has been classified as either "yellow" (needs improvement) or "red" (unacceptable) since mid-2004. Presently, the system is classified as "yellow" (needs improvement). Like the Integrated Control System

25 Enclosure CRD system, multiple WOs, many of which require plant outage conditions to facilitate accomplishment, are outstanding on the ICS. Again, like the CRD system, the final element of the licensee's improvement plan calls for the complete replacement of the ICS with a newer, up

-to-date digital system tentatively set for the plant's 20 th RFO in 2018. c. No findings were identified.

Findings

.4 a. Annual Follow-Up Sample for In-Depth Review

Status of Licensee Corrective Actions for Shield Building Concrete Cracking During a mid

-cycle outage to replace the reactor vessel closure head in late 2011, the licensee identified laminar cracking in the safety

-related shield building of the containment system while performing hydrodemolition operations to create a shield building maintenance access opening. Based on an evaluation of the licensee's extent-of-condition and technical analysis of the shield building laminar cracking, the NRC staff concluded that the licensee had provided reasonable assurance that the shield building was capable of performing its safety functions. In order to provide continued long

-term confidence, the licensee agreed to several follow

-on actions. Chief amongst these follow

-on actions was the licensee's commitment to perform an investigation into the root cause of the cracking.

Inspection Scope The licensee submitted a root cause report (ADAMS Accession No.

ML120600056) to the NRC on February 27, 2012. The licensee identified the direct cause as the integrated effect of moisture content, wind speed, temperature, and duration from a severe winter blizzard that occurred in 1978, and the root cause as the design specification for construction of the shield building not specifying application of an exterior sealant from moisture. The licensee also identified three contributing causes involving specific design features of the building. The root cause report also identified planned corrective actions as well as associated due dates, and acknowledged that the shield building, although operable, did not conform to the licensing basis in its current condition.

The NRC completed an inspection of the licensee's root cause efforts and planned corrective actions on May 9, 2012 (NRC IR 05000346/2012009; ADAMS Accession No. ML12173A023

). The NRC inspection team concluded that the licensee had a sufficient basis for the causes of the shield building laminar cracking related to the environmental factors associated with the 1978 blizzard, the lack of an exterior moisture barrier, and the structural design elements of the shield building. The team did, however, identify minor weaknesses in the licensee's root cause report associated with the level of detail in the documentation provided. These weaknesses did not constitute performance deficiencies or findings because they did not adversely affect the outcome of the root cause process. The licensee submitted a revised root cause report (ADAMS Accession No.

ML12142A053) on May 16, 2012, with changes to address the minor weaknesses identified during the NRC inspection.

During the course of this in

-depth review, the inspectors verified the completion status of the licensee's root cause report corrective actions. In addition, the inspectors reviewed 26 Enclosure those follow

-on corrective actions that the licensee had established subsequent to completion of their root cause report to verify their adequacy, an d to verify that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue.

The documents listed in the Attachment were reviewed to accomplish the objectives of the IP. This review constituted one annual follow-up inspection sample for in-depth review as defined in IP

71152 - 05.

Findings

.5 a. Annual Follow-Up Sample for In-Depth Review

Status of Licensee Corrective Actions for Operations Human Performance Issues The licensee's Nuclear Oversight organization has rated the Operations Department as "marginally effective" for the past four rating periods, dating back to early 2011

. Plant status control events and issues, most involving minor or no consequences, were the driving force behind these ratings. These issues involved, among other things , inadequate awareness of plant conditions to issues with procedure quality and/or procedure adherence; not only were noted by the licensee's Nuclear Oversight organization, but also by the licensee's Company Nuclear Review Board (CNRB) during their periodic plant reviews and by the NRC during the most recent normal quarterly inspection exit meetings with the licensee's management team

. Inspection Scope In June of 2012, the licensee commissioned a root cause team to investigate this matter, determine its causes, and specify actions to correct the issue and prevent its recurrence. On September 21, 2012, the licensee's root cause team finished their investigation and issued their report. The licensee's team determined that an organizational weakness involving management control and misalignment within the Operations Department was 28 Enclosure the underlying cause for the issue, as well as the cause for the organization's difficulties in responding to the issue since its identification in 2011. Specifically, the licensee's team identified that the Operations Department lacked alignment, awareness, and ownership concerning the issue at hand, and what actions to take in order to resolve it.

During the course of this in

-depth review, the inspectors examined the status of the licensee's root cause report corrective actions to verify their adequacy, and to verify that the classification, prioritization, focus, and timeliness of the corrective actions were commensurate with safety and sufficient to prevent recurrence of the issue.

The documents listed in the Attachment were reviewed to accomplish the objectives of the IP. This review constituted one annual follow

-up inspection sample for in

-depth review as defined in IP

71152 - 05.

b. In response to the issue, the licensee has taken a number of formal corrective actions. Although not a formal corrective action stemming from the licensee's root cause report, a new Operations Manager was assigned and began in that position on June 18, 2012.

Following interviews with all Operations personnel, the new Operations Manager made approximately twenty position changes within the Operations Department in an effort to improve overall crew performance. A revised performance improvement plan was implemented with three primary focus areas:

Observations Crew performance and teamwork actions; Plant status control actions; and Procedure improvement and backlog reduction actions.

While performance indicators tracked and maintained by the licensee generally indicate that the improvement plan is having a positive impact on Operations Department performance, the inspectors noted that these improvement gains are still in their early stages and will require additional time to demonstrate lasting effectiveness. Operational events with root, apparent, or contributing causes in the human performance arena, such as the finding discussed in Section 1R11.2 of this report and the finding discussed in Section 1R13 of the Third Quarter 2012 NRC Integrated Inspection Report (IR 05000346/2012004; ADAMS Accession No.

ML12298A167), continue to indicate the need for licensee emphasis in this area.

Findings

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion

.1

On December 3, 2012, while servicing the No. 2 DH pump mechanical seal, the licensee identified that the cyclone separator had been installed upside down during a past maintenance activity dating back to May 12, 2012. Additionally, on December 6, 2012, while correcting the orientation of the cyclone separator, licensee mechanical maintenance personnel discovered that spacers were also missing from the inlet and dirty drain lines of the cyclone separator. The spacers are intended to fill unused space Decay Heat Pump Cyclone Separators Incorrectly Installed

29 Enclosure between the body of the separator and the tube fittings that connect the tubing. Empty spaces in these areas could collect debris under accident conditions and prevent cooling flow to the mechanical seal. An extent of condition inspection was performed on the No. 1 DH pump on December 14, 2012, which identified the spacers were also missing from the cyclone separators. The most recent maintenance activity on the No. 1 DH pump cyclone separators occurred during the last quarter of 2011 , during a mid-cycle outage to replace the reactor vessel closure head

. On December 14, 2012, the licensee made a voluntary report to the NRC via telephone regarding the potential impact to the past operability of both DH pumps. A subsequent investigation by the licensee determined the condition did not render the DH pumps inoperable. However, a considerable amount of engineering analysis/judgment was used to predict the consequences of running the DH pumps without seal cooling from the cyclone separators and achieve this conclusion. Based on the expected pump operating conditions during an accident, the licensee's analyses concluded that breakage of the seal faces would not occur. As such, leakage out from the pump seals would remain below the allowable leakage rate determined by the licensee's design basis calculations. An update was made to the voluntary report to the NRC reflecting this position.

The cyclone separator condition was immediately corrected for each pump upon discovery. The licensee has entered the conditions into the CAP and assigned a root cause analysis to CR 2012

-18831. Because the licensee's root cause analysis was still in progress at the end of this inspection period, the issue is being treated as an unresolved item (URI) pending the inspectors' review of the licensee's root cause report and completion of the inspectors' review of the licensee's evaluation into the past operability of the DH pumps. (URI 05000346/2012005-02) Documents reviewed in this inspection are listed in the Attachment to this report. This event follow

-up review by the inspectors constituted a single inspection sample as defined in IP 71153

Inspection of Near

-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Flooding Walkdowns Inspectors verified that licensee's walkdown packages (External Flooding Walkdow n Record Forms 101F/EXT, 101N/EXT, 114F/EXT, 052E/EXT, 052F/EXT, Door 216, Door 217 and Flood Protection Dike) contained the elements as specified in the walkdown guidance document, NEI 12-07. Inspection Scope The inspectors accompanied the licensee on their walkdown of the wave protection dike and verified that the licensee confirmed the following flood protection features:

Visual inspection of the flood protection feature was performed if the flood protection feature was relevant. External visual inspection for indications of degradation that would prevent its credited function from being performed was performed; Critical SSC dimensions were measured

Available physical margin, where applicable, was determined; and Flood protection feature functionality was determined using either visual observation or by review of other documents.

The inspectors independently performed their walkdown of the service water intake structure and verified that the following flood protection features were in place:

Visual inspection of the flood protection feature was performed if the flood protection feature was relevant. External visual inspection for indications of degradation that would prevent its credited function from being performed was performed; Critical SSC dimensions were measured

Available physical margin, where applicable, was determined; and Flood protection feature functionality was determined using either visual observation or by review of other documents.

The inspectors verified that noncompliances with current licensing requirements, and issues identified in accordance with the 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter, Item 2.g of Enclosure 4, were entered into the licensee's CAP. In addition, issues identified in response to Item 2.g that could challenge risk significant equipment and the licensee's ability to mitigate the consequences will be subject to additional NRC evaluation.

Inspection of Near

-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3 Seismic Walkdowns The inspectors accompanied the licensee on their Area Walk

-Bys and Seismic Walkdown Equipment List (SWEL) component inspections in the Auxiliary Building during the week of July 14, 2012, and verified that the licensee confirmed that the following seismic features associated with the Component Cooling Water surge tank, 480 Vac motor control center F11A, and the Containment Spra y (CS) Train 1 discharge valve, CS 1530, were free of the following potential adverse seismic conditions:

Inspection Scope Anchorage was free of bent, broken, missing or loose hardware; Anchorage was free of corrosion that is more than mild surface oxidation; Anchorage was free of visible cracks in the concrete near the anchors; Anchorage configuration was consistent with plant documentation; SSCs will not be damaged from impact by nearby equipment or structures; Overhead equipment, distribution systems, ceiling tiles and lighting, and masonry block walls are secure and not likely to collapse onto the equipment; Attached lines have adequate flexibility to avoid damage; The area appears to be free of potentially adverse seismic interactions that could cause flooding or spray in the area; The area appears to be free of potentially adverse seismic interactions that could cause a fire in the area; and The area appears to be free of potentially adverse seismic interactions associated with housekeeping practices, storage of portable equipment, and temporary installations (e.g., scaffolding, lead shielding).

The inspectors independently performed their walkdown in various rooms of the Auxiliary Building during the week ending August 25, 2012, focused on the following components:

Safe ty-related Station Battery 2N; Reactor Trip Breaker 'A'; and Auxiliary Feedwater Pump No. 1.

The inspectors verified that the components were free of the potential adverse seismic conditions listed above.

Additionally, the inspectors observed that the SWEL did not contain items that could allow the spent fuel pool to drain down rapidly because all piping penetrations into the spent fuel pool, cask pit, and transfer pit penetrate at least 9 feet above the top of the fuel assemblies to avoid any possibility of completely draining the pool in case of a pipe rupture. b. During the inspectors' walkdown accompanying the licensee, the inspectors observed that for equipment requiring anchorage configuration verification that the licensee did not have the design documentation in hand during the walkdown. Instead, the licensee took photographs in the field for later comparison to documentation in the office. The inspectors determined this approach to anchorage configuration verification was not described in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) document 1025286 titled, "Seismic Walkdown Guidance," (ADAMS Accession No. ML12188A031), and was not consistent with the intent of the guidance. However, the inspectors did not find any inconsistencies between the anchorage shown in photographs and plant documentation during the review of selected equipment.

Observations During walkdowns of electrical equipment such as cabinets, panels, motor control centers, and breakers, the inspectors observed that the licensee's seismic walkdown engineers only inspected the area where the electrical component was anchored to the seismic structure (i.e., the floor, etc.). The panel or cabinet door was not opened to verify the absence of adverse seismic conditions located inside the cabinet. This walkdown approach is contrary to the guidance provided in EPRI Report 1025286, which covers the evaluation of the connections that secure components within the electrical cabinet. The licensee has generated a WO to re-perform a walkdown for components that require the opening of a panel or cabinet door that can be unlatched. These components will be completed no later than the next RFO, scheduled in the spring of 2014. The licensee has committed to submit a supplemental report documenting the walkdowns within 120 days following completion of the spring 2014 RFO. c. No findings were identified.

Findings 32 Enclosure

.3 a. (Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction

2515/177:

Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems (NRC Generic Letter 2008

-01) The inspectors verified the onsite documentation, system hardware, and licensee actions were consistent with the information provided in the licensee's response to NRC Generic Letter (GL) 2008

-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems." Specifically, the inspectors verified the licensee implemented or was in the process of implementing the commitments, modifications, and programmatically controlled actions described in the licensee's response to GL 2008

-01. The inspection was conducted in accordance with Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/177, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems (N RC GL 2008-01)," and considered the site

-specific supplemental information provided by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations (NRR) to the inspectors.

Inspection Scope b. The selected TI areas of inspection were licensing basis, design, testing, and corrective actions. The documentation of the inspection effort and any resulting observations are below. Observations Licensing BasisThe inspectors also verified applicable documents that described the plant and plant operation, such as calculations, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), procedures, and CAP documents, addressed the areas of concern and were changed if needed following plant changes. The inspectors noted that the licensee had not developed a program document for gas intrusion to state how certain aspects of the NEI guidance were being implemented at the site. The licensee had not established a program document based on the NEI guidance not being finalized. Based on a recent self-assessment, the licensee concluded a program document should be established. This issue was being tracked in the licensee's CAP as CR 2012

-14865. : The inspectors reviewed selected portions of licensing basis documents to verify that they were consistent with the NRR assessment report and that they were processed by the licensee. The licensing basis verification included the verification of selected portions of TS, TS basis, USAR, and Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). The licensee's 9

-month response to GL 2008

-01 stated sections of the USAR discussed the presence of some non

-condensable gases in the ECCS systems was explicitly recognized, but the ECCS and the RCS were designed to preclude adverse effects from air/gas intrusion or accumulation, due to a combination of effective filling and venting and maintenance of system pressure with the borated water storage tank and the installed RCS venting capabilities. Although the licensee concluded the USAR discussions were adequate, the licensee indicated additional information would be added to clarify some of the USAR discussions and include additional discussion of the periodic monitoring performed in response to the GL. This action to update the USAR was being tracked by the licensee per Notification 600660962 and will be processed after establishment of a final licensing basis for the gas management issue.

Surveillance Requirement 3.5.2.3, which ensured the ECCS was maintained full of water was required to be performed on a 24

-month frequency or after portions of the ECCS 33 Enclosure were drained. The inspectors reviewed the periodic monitoring program of susceptible gas locations via ultrasonic testing (UT) as part of the licensee's resolution to GL 2008-01. The licensee's basis for the UT frequency was a graded approach that utilized qualitative assessments, which included consideration of the underlying gas intrusion mechanisms, relative differential pressure across the barrier, and the potential impact of gas accumulation in various piping segments. This resulted in a UT frequency of either monthly or quarterly. Based on the results of the examinations performed up to the timeframe of this inspection, the inspectors did not have a concern with the established monitoring frequency.

Finally, the inspectors also confirmed the licensee's commitment to support the industry Technical Specification Task Force Traveler (TSTF) and NEI Gas Accumulation Management Team activities regarding resolution of generic TS issues, evaluate the resolution of the TSTF, and submit a license amendment request, if deemed necessary based on this evaluation, within 180 days following NRC approval of the TSTF. This commitment was tracked per the licensee's commitment program as Commitment A21973. Design The inspectors assessed the licensee's efforts for identifying the gas intrusion mechanisms that apply to the licensee's plant and noted one example where the licensee did not initially recognize a potential gas intrusion mechanism. Specifically, the shutdown cooling (SDC) system design and operation may not preclude the formation of steam voids during Mode 3 if a loss

-of-coolant (LOCA) event occurred. Since the SDC system discharges into the LPI discharge piping it could potentially cause a water hammer in the piping if the hot water flashed to steam during the switchover from SDC to LPI. The licensee identified this concern during a recent self

-assessment based on a review of industry operating experience and was tracking the evaluation in the CAP per CR 2012

-14934;  : The inspectors reviewed selected design documents, performed system walkdowns, and interviewed plant personnel to verify that the design and operating characteristics were addressed by the licensee. Specifically:

The inspectors verified that the licensee's void acceptance criteria were consistent with NRR's void acceptance criteria; The inspectors selectively reviewed applicable documents, including calculations, engineering evaluations, and vendor technical manuals, with respect to gas accumulation in the subject systems. Specifically, the inspectors verified these documents addressed venting requirements, aspects where pipes are normally void such as some spray piping inside containment, void control during system realignments. The inspectors noted the procedures used for monthly stroke test of the HPI injection valve would, due to RCS back

-leakage, potentially flash the volume of water of the injection line. The inspectors noted the licensee had procedures to UT downstream of the HPI injection valve, however , there was no coordination of the UT procedure activity to ensure the system had not been unintentionally voided; The inspectors conducted a walkdown of selected regions of ECCS in sufficient detail to assess the licensee's walkdowns. The inspectors also verified that the information obtained during the licensee's walkdown was consistent with the items identified during the inspectors' independent walkdown. The inspectors also assessed if the P&IDs accurately described the subject systems and were up-to-date with respect to recent hardware changes; The inspectors also conducted a similar walkdown of the HPI system inside containment in an earlier inspection period. This additional activity counted towards the completion of this TI and was documented in Inspection Report 05000346/2010002; and The inspectors verified the licensee's walkdowns have been completed. In addition, the inspectors selectively verified that information obtained during the licensee's walkdowns were addressed in procedures, the CAP, and training documents.

Testing The inspectors reviewed procedures used for conducting void periodic monitoring and determination of void volumes to ensure the void criteria was satisfied and will be reasonably ensured to be satisfied until the next scheduled void surveillance;

The inspectors reviewed selected surveillance, p os t-modification test, and post-maintenance test procedures and results to assess if the licensee approved and was using procedures that were adequate to address the issue of gas accumulation and/or intrusion in the subject systems. Specifically:

The licensee performed periodic UT inspections for locations that were considered susceptible to voiding. These UTs, as previously discussed, were performed on a monthly or quarterly basis. The licensee had two procedures for UT inspections , and the inspectors identified several issues. These included:

(1) not establishing a clear link as to how the procedures worked together or with the referenced surveillances or preventive maintenance tasks;

(2) DB

-PF-05065, "Ultrasonic Detection of Gas Voids in Liquid Systems," stated it was for information only; and

(3) NOP

-CC-5712 , "Ultrasonic Detection of Gas Voids in Liquid Systems Using the EPOCH LTC," stated it was not to be used to determine void size even though it was determining void size. Although there were the noted procedural issues, the inspectors did not identify concerns with the UT measurements taken during the periodic monitoring activities. The licensee initiated CR 2012

-17235, CR 2012

-16425, and Notifications 600795368, and 600795369 to address these issues; The inspectors reviewed selected procedures used for void control, such as filling and venting, following conditions which may have introduced voids into the subject systems to verify the procedures addressed testing for such voids and provided processes for their reduction or elimination; The licensee performed periodic valve stroke test per procedure DB

-PF-03205, "ECCS Train 1 Valve Test," which gave direction for monthly stroking of the HPI injection valve. Note 4.3.12 identified that computer Alarm P465 may be received during this test due to trapped pressure in the HPI discharge line between the injection check valve and isolation valve, but did not detail this alarm as an anomaly and that this was an indicator of potential RCS leakage into the HPI injection line.

This was a concern because the injection line volume could potentially be flashed to steam. The licensee also had quarterly Preventative Maintenance (PM) 8225, "ECCS Train 1 Quarterly UT verifications," requirements to perform a UT at a location downstream of the HPI injection valve. The inspectors noted there was no discussion of sequencing this PM for use before and after DB

-PF-03205 to ensure that water solid conditions still existed. A review of the results of PM 8225 verified no voiding concern had existed. The licensee initiated CR 2012

-17222 and 2012

-17227 to address these issues; and The licensee acceptance criterion for UT monitoring was no voids such that all voids identified were to be assessed by the CAP. The voids that were identified were in most cases small, appropriately evaluated in the CAP, and removed from the system by flushing or venting. The identified voids were mostly in auxiliary portions of the ECCS system (core flood tank fill lines from the HPI or the auxiliary pressurizer spray line from the HPI system) and not in the injection lines such that the voids would not have affected the ability of the systems to perform their ECCS function. The licensee has taken some action on the core flood tank fill lines by installing new isolation valves to prevent potential back

-leakage of nitrogen into the HPI system and added an additional vent valve and pressure indication between the nitrogen addition and HPI system.

Corrective ActionsThe inspectors noted an example where the licensee identified a design deficiency associated with the normally voided CS header. The inspectors noted the method employed appeared to fail to consider the dynamic loads on the upstream riser piping of the CS system. The licensee performed an informal calculation to determine the additional loading on the CS piping system. The additional loading was determined to be within the design of the system. The details of this licensee

-identified finding are discussed in Section

4OA7 of this report.

The inspectors reviewed selected licensee's assessment reports and CAP documents to assess the effectiveness of the licensee's CAP when addressing the issues associated with GL 2008

-01. In addition, the inspectors verified that selected corrective actions identified in the licensee's 9

-month and supplemental reports were documented. The inspectors also verified that commitments were included in the CAP.

The documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

Based on this review, the inspectors concluded that there is reasonable assurance that the licensee will complete all outstanding items and incorporate this information into the design basis and operational practices. Therefore, this TI is considered closed

. c. No findings were identifi ed. Findings

.4 Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation

a. (60855.1) The inspector s conducted document reviews, held discussions with licensee staff, and performed a walkdown of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) to assess compliance with the applicable Certificate of Compliance , TS, and the Site Certified Safety Analysis Report. During the walkdown, the condition of the Horizontal Storage Modules was evaluated and the inspectors observed the licensee perform routine surveillance activities, including inspections of the vent screens and taking thermocouple readings.

Inspection Scope Plant procedures were reviewed to determine whether the licensee had adequate controls in place to monitor the radiation dose resulting from the operation of the ISFSI. The inspectors reviewed several routine radiation surveys performed by the licensee around the pad, and conducted independent surveys to verify dose rates. Additionally ,

36 Enclosure the inspectors reviewed the licensee's procedures for control of special nuclear material, and the most recent annual inventory as it related to the ISFSI, to verify that the fuel in the Dry Storage Canisters was accounted for and controlled. The inspectors reviewed the control of transient combustible material procedure, emergency procedures, and the Emergency Plan for their adequacy in regard to the ISFSI.

Condition reports

, and the associated follow up actions, were reviewed to assess the adequacy and timeliness of the licensee's corrective actions. 10 CFR 72.48 screenings were reviewed, focusing on those associated with the temporary storage of Sea

-Land containers on the ISFSI pad, for compliance with the transient combustible procedure, the Part 72.212 report, and the Site Certified Safety Analysis Report.

The inspectors reviewed relevant industry operating experience and its applicability to Davis-Besse. In particular, a letter from TransNuclear submitted to the NRC dated March 1, 2012 , (ADAMS Accession No. ML12065A184)identified Davis

-Besse's Horizontal Storage Modules as potentially susceptible to concrete degradation due to water entering through hole penetrations in the roof which subsequently could undergo freeze/thaw cycles. The licensee determined that Davis

-Besse is not susceptible to this condition, mainly due to the fact that the roof holes on the Horizontal Storage Modules are grouted through, which was independently verified by the inspectors

. b. No findings were identified.

Steenbergen, Superintendent of Operations Training, via telephone on December 17, 2012. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed wa s considered proprietary.

Any proprietary material received during the inspection s was returned to the licensee.

4OA7 The following violation

s of very low safety significance (Green) were identified by the licensee and are violation s of NRC requirements that meet the criteria of Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as Non

-Cited Violation s: Licensee-Identified Violations

.1 Appendix B of 10 CFR Part 50, 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, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

Contrary to this, on October 17, 2012, the licensee identified the requirements associated with dynamic loading contained in the original construction code of the CS ring header were not incorporated into the specifications of the system and initiated CR 2012

-16439. Specifically, the licensee failed to determine the resultant dynamic loads introduced on CS ring header upon system actuation. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Containment Barrier cornerstone attribute of structures, systems, components, and barrier performance and affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding screened as of very low safety significance because the dynamic loading was verified to be within the capability of the piping design.

Failure to Evaluate the Effects of Dynamic Loads on the Containment Spray Piping

.2 Technical Specification

5.4.1(a) requires the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain applicable written procedures for the safety

-related systems and activities recommended in Regulatory Guide (RG)1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A.

Section 9(a), "Procedures for Performing Maintenance," of RG 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, further states, in part, that: "Maintenance that can affect the performance of safety

-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances."

Additional EDG Inoperability Caused by Inadequate Maintenance Instructions Contrary to this requirement, during the week ending November 17, 2012, the licensee's instructions for replacing the lube oil cooler left bank side jacket water inlet o

-ring seal on EDG No. 1 via WO no. 20049389 4 improperly called for a metal

-to-metal joint fit up. Specifically, the EDG vendor's instructions, which were translated into the licensee's work instructions to maintenance personnel, were imprecise and confusing. In one location, the vendor's instructions specified a metal

-to-metal joint fit up, while in another location a 1/16 th inch gap was specified. This lack of clarity in the work instructions caused the joint to leak three times before it was finally able to be properly sealed on the fourth iteration. The additional iterations for the performance of this work added significant time to the periods of inoperability and unavailability for EDG No.

1, and caused the licensee to make an unplanned entry into an elevated (i.e., Orange) plant risk awareness state.

38 Enclosure The objective of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone of Reactor Safety is to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). A key attribute of this objective is human performance, and specifically, procedure quality. In accordance with NRC IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening," the inspectors determined that the violation was of more than minor significance in that it had a direct impact on this cornerstone objective. The licensee's failure to provide technically adequate written procedures and instructions for the replacement of the lube oil cooler left bank side jacket water inlet o

-ring seal on EDG No. 1 resulted in the need to perform that work multiple times and added significant time to the periods of inoperability and unavailability for EDG No.

1. The licensee had entered this issue into their CAP as

C R 2012-18584. Corrective actions planned or completed by the licensee include revision s to the EDG and SBODG vendor manuals to incorporate the lessons learned during this maintenance activity
