The inspectors identified a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, AppendixB, Criterion XVI, for inadequate and untimely corrective actions regarding deficiencies in a safety-related river water valve pit at Unit 1. Specifically, the NRC identified that FENOC had performed inadequate inspections of the valve pit in February 2006, as evidenced by a recent inspection that revealed an unsealed penetration between two halves of the pit that contain the 'A' and 'B'
The inspectors identified a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, AppendixB, Criterion XVI, for inadequate and untimely corrective actions regarding deficiencies in a safety-related river water valve pit at Unit 1. Specifically, the NRC identified that FENOC had performed inadequate inspections of the valve pit in February 2006, as evidenced by a recent inspection that revealed an unsealed penetration between two halves of the pit that contain the 'A' and 'B'
headers of the river water system. FENOC subsequently utilized the corrective action program, inspected the valve pit, identified additional deficiencies, and aggressively evaluated and dispositioned specific deficiencies based on significance.The inspectors determined that this finding is more than minor because itimpacted the external factors attribute regarding the availability and reliability of the river water system, and the capability to respond to initiating events and prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance, because there was no loss of system or overall function due to the remaining mitigating equipment capability. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, in that FENOC did not properly identify quality issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance, when deficiencies in the valve pit were not identified in a February 2006 inspection [P.1(a)].  (Section 1R06)*Green. A self-revealing, Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, CriterionV, was identified in that the licensee failed to properly implement and control chemical additions to the Unit 2 Steam Generators, which resulted in a valve being out of its normal alignment for approximately 71 days. Subsequently, borated water interacted with the Auxiliary Feedwater System in such a way that ultimately caused the blockage of the 'B' motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump packing leakoff reservoir drain, water to back up and enter the forced lubrication Enclosureivsystem of the pump, and result in extended periods of inoperability. FENOCsubsequently utilized the corrective action program and performed a root cause evaluation, evaluated appropriate human performance and organizational contributors, and initiated physical repairs and procedure revisions to prevent recurrence.The inspectors determined that this finding is more than minor because itaffected the equipment performance attribute of the associated Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective  to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance, because there was no overall loss of system function due to system redundancy, and that after analysis, the pump would have been able to perform its required safety function for the applicable mission time during design basis events. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, because FENOC failed to ensure appropriate coordination of work activities during steam generator chemical additions, which resulted in a loss of configuration control that degraded a safety-related Auxilary Feedwater pump for an extended period of time [H.3.(b)].  (Section 1R15)

Implementation of these controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, applicable industry standards, and procedures. Radiological Work Planning*The inspector reviewed pertinent information regarding cumulative exposurehistory, current exposure trends, and ongoing activities to assess past (2006)outage site ALARA performance, current (2007) exposure trends, and the challenges for the fall 2007 Unit 1 outage. *The inspector reviewed the exposure status for tasks performed during the Unit2 fall 2006 outage and compared actual exposure with forecasted estimates contained in ALARA reviews. Outage jobs reviewed included the sump modification (ALARA Plan 06-2-27), the pressurizer surge line weld overlay (ALARA Plan 06-2-51), pressurizer 780' weld overlay (ALARA Plan 06-2-43),
reactor head inspection/repair (ALARA Plan 06-2-48), and outage scaffolding construction (ALARA Plan 06-2-22).*The inspector evaluated the departmental interfaces between radiationprotection, operations, maintenance crafts, and engineering to identify missing ALARA program elements and interface problems. The evaluation was 18Enclosureaccomplished by reviewing outage Work-in-Progress and Post-Job  ALARAreviews, Station ALARA Committee meeting minutes, and interviewing the station Radiation Protection Manager.Verification of Dose Estimates*The inspector reviewed the assumptions and basis for the annual (2007) sitecollective exposure projections for site operations and for the fall Unit 1 refueling outage. *The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures associated with monitoringand re-evaluating dose estimates when the forecasted cumulative exposure for tasks was approached and the implementation of these procedures during the past Unit 2 fall outage. The inspector reviewed the dose records for the fifteen (15) workers who received the highest doses for 2006 to confirm that no individual exceeded the regulatory annual limit. Job Site Inspections*The inspector reviewed the ALARA controls contained in RWP 107-1003,Mechanical Routine Maintenance, and the associated Micro ALARA Planning Sheet for replacing decon sink drain line piping. No other jobs of radiologicalsignificance were being performed during the inspection.Source Term Reduction and Control*The inspector reviewed the status and historical trends for the Unit 1 and Unit 2source terms. Through review of survey maps and interviews with the Senior Nuclear Specialist-ALARA, the inspector evaluated recent source term measurements and control strategies. Specific strategies being employed included zinc addition (Unit 1), enhanced chemistry controls, system flushes, and temporary shielding. Declared Pregnant Workers*The inspector reviewed the procedural controls for managing declared pregnantworkers (DPW) and reviewed the exposure records for two DPWs who were employed during 2006. Problem Identification and Resolution*The inspector reviewed elements of the licensee's corrective action programrelated to implementing the ALARA program to determine if problems were being entered into the program for timely resolution. Eleven CRs related to dose/dose rate alarms, programmatic dose challenges, and the effectiveness in predicting and controlling worker dose were reviewed. Details of this review are contained in Section

.*Unit 1:  Inspectors evaluated crew response after an unexpected field forcingalarm was received on the main generator on March 12. Momentary spikes in main generator voltage and reactive load were also noted, with no alarms received. The operators referenced the appropriate abnormal operating procedure, verified stable plant parameters, and contacted the grid local control center (LCC). The system operator at the LCC reported multiple breaker operations at the coal-fired station (Bruce Mansfield) located near Beaver Valley.
.*Unit 1:  Inspectors evaluated crew response after an unexpected field forcingalarm was received on the main generator on March 12. Momentary spikes in main generator voltage and reactive load were also noted, with no alarms received. The operators referenced the appropriate abnormal operating procedure, verified stable plant parameters, and contacted the grid local control center (LCC). The system operator at the LCC reported multiple breaker operations at the coal-fired station (Bruce Mansfield) located near Beaver Valley.


It was determined that Bruce Mansfield had lost a 345kV power line coincident with the observed field forcing alarm. The inspectors reviewed shift narrative logs, printouts and other documents, and interviewed plant employees. The event was entered into the corrective action program as CR 07-16068 and 16069.*Unit 2:  On March 13, the inspectors evaluated control room response to amomentary overpower transient caused by an apparent loose connectorassociated with the main turbine governor valve number four (GV-4). After fullpower ascension from condenser water box cleaning, minor oscillations of GV-4were observed and documented in the corrective action program (CR 07-16056). The inspectors noted that the crew was appropriately briefed on contingencyactions if oscillations degraded to the point of adversely affecting plantoperations. During the investigation, an apparent loose coaxial connector wastightened and caused a slight change in GV-4 position. This resulted in amomentary overpower transient with reactor power peaking at 100.19 percent. Operators in the control room observed the increasing power and appropriatelyreduced power below 100 percent. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel,reviewed shift narrative logs, printouts, and other documents. The inspectorsverified that safety limits were not exceeded. The event was entered into thecorrective action program as CR 07-16095.*Unit 2:  On March 17, with the Control Rod Group Selector switch in AUTO,control bank 'D' rods stepped in 1-1/2 steps in response to a reactor coolantsystem temperature deviation of 1.5 degrees. The unit had recently completed acondenser water box cleaning at 85 percent power and returned to full power. Average coolant temperature was increasing, as expected, due to the effects ofreactor core Xenon, and the crew was expected to borate, in accordance withthe reactivity plan, prior to exceeding 0.5 degree deviation. This boration 24Enclosureprecludes an automatic rod insertion that occurs at a temperature deviation of1.5°F. However, the crew identified the rod insertion hours after it occurred anderroneously determined that the rod step was caused by a momentary spike ofthe median average temperature instrument. Followup investigationsdetermined that the issue was not associated with instrumentation, but rather, afailure of the control room staff to appropriately identify the change in plantconditions. The crew was subsequently administratively removed from licensedactivities and remediated. The inspectors observed remediation activities in theUnit 2 simulator. The crew completed remediation and were returned to licensedactivities. The inspectors reviewed shift narrative logs, technical specifications,and interviewed personnel. The inspectors assessed the adequacy of FENOC'sshort and long-term corrective actions as detailed in CR-07-16421.

SUBJECT: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTIONREPORT 05000334/2007002 AND 05000412/2007002

Dear Mr. Lash:

On March 31, 2007, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on April 13, 2007, with you and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.Based on the results of this inspection, this report documents one (1) NRC-identified findingand one (1) self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green). These findings were determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because the issues have been entered in the corrective action program, the NRC is treating the findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any of the findings in this report, 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 I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Beaver Valley.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, and itsenclosures, 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 NRC's document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000334/2007002, IR 05000412/2007002; 01/01/2007 - 03/31/2007; Beaver Valley PowerStation, Units 1 & 2; Flood Protection Measures; Operability Determinations.The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors, regional reactorinspectors, and a regional health physics inspector. Two Green non-cited violations (NCV)

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

Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3 dated July 2000.A.

NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, AppendixB, Criterion XVI, for inadequate and untimely corrective actions regarding deficiencies in a safety-related river water valve pit at Unit 1. Specifically, the NRC identified that FENOC had performed inadequate inspections of the valve pit in February 2006, as evidenced by a recent inspection that revealed an unsealed penetration between two halves of the pit that contain the 'A' and 'B'

headers of the river water system. FENOC subsequently utilized the corrective action program, inspected the valve pit, identified additional deficiencies, and aggressively evaluated and dispositioned specific deficiencies based on significance.The inspectors determined that this finding is more than minor because itimpacted the external factors attribute regarding the availability and reliability of the river water system, and the capability to respond to initiating events and prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance, because there was no loss of system or overall function due to the remaining mitigating equipment capability. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, in that FENOC did not properly identify quality issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance, when deficiencies in the valve pit were not identified in a February 2006 inspection P.1(a). (Section 1R06)*Green. A self-revealing, Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, CriterionV, was identified in that the licensee failed to properly implement and control chemical additions to the Unit 2 Steam Generators, which resulted in a valve being out of its normal alignment for approximately 71 days. Subsequently, borated water interacted with the Auxiliary Feedwater System in such a way that ultimately caused the blockage of the 'B' motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump packing leakoff reservoir drain, water to back up and enter the forced lubrication ivsystem of the pump, and result in extended periods of inoperability. FENOCsubsequently utilized the corrective action program and performed a root cause evaluation, evaluated appropriate human performance and organizational contributors, and initiated physical repairs and procedure revisions to prevent recurrence.The inspectors determined that this finding is more than minor because itaffected the equipment performance attribute of the associated Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors determined that this finding is of very low safety significance, because there was no overall loss of system function due to system redundancy, and that after analysis, the pump would have been able to perform its required safety function for the applicable mission time during design basis events. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, because FENOC failed to ensure appropriate coordination of work activities during steam generator chemical additions, which resulted in a loss of configuration control that degraded a safety-related Auxilary Feedwater pump for an extended period of time [H.3.(b)]. (Section 1R15)

B.Licensee-Identified Violations

None.

The inspectors evaluated FENOC's preparation and protection from the effects ofexternal flooding conditions for Unit 1 and Unit 2. This evaluation included a review of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and applicable flood-related procedures to determine the readiness of protection for applicable safety-related structures, systems, and components. The inspectors performed walkdowns of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 external structures to verify the adequacy of protection from the most probable flood, as well as actions to address seasonal Ohio River water levels that could potentially impact safety-related equipment. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee actions on multiple occasions following entry into the abnormal operating procedure (AOP) 1/2OM-53C.4A.75.2, "Acts of Nature - Flood," Rev. 22, which included 4Enclosurebackwash of river water strainers that supply cooling to the Unit 1 safety-relatedcharging pumps. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed recent FENOC inspection results, including flood barrier inspections, and verified that previously identified deficiencies had been entered into the corrective action program for resolution.

Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

Introduction.

A Green, NRC-identified Non-Cited Violation was identified for failure toperform adequate and timely inspections of a Unit 1 safety-related, river water system valve pit, thus failing to identify and correct a condition adverse to quality.Description. In February 2006, Beaver Valley conducted inspections of the Unit 1 riverwater system valve pit after the NRC identified that this structure was not scoped into the licensee's maintenance rule monitoring program. This resulted in NCV 05000334/2006002-01, detailed in NRC inspection report 2006-002. This inspection had concluded there were no deficiencies and no penetrations between the two halves of the valve pit, and essentially mitigated the potential regulatory significance of the condition. During a February 2007 inspection of the Unit 1 river water system valve pit, the licensee identified an unsealed penetration between the two halves of the pit that contain the 'A' and 'B' headers of the river water system. The NRC informed licensee staff and management that this condition was contrary to the February 2006 licensee inspection. Thus, the licensee missed an opportunity to identify and correct a long standing material deficiency which impacts the ability of the system to perform its required safety function as described in the UFSAR.The licensee subsequently completed inspections of the valve pit, completedengineering evaluations to address structural issues associated with the wall that separates the two halves of the valve pit, and concluded that groundwater or river water system leakage would not impact the ability of the both the auxiliary and river water systems from performing their intended safety function. The licensee captured issues associated with this valve pit in the corrective action program for resolution, under condition reports (CR) 07-15302 and 07-15303.Analysis. The failure to perform adequate and timely corrective actions was determinedto be a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor, because it was associated with the external factors attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone, and affected the availability and reliability of the river water system, and the capability to respond to initiating events and prevent undesirable consequences. The potential existed for the river water system to be unable to perform its required safety function for approximately one year. The significance of this finding was evaluated using Appendix A, of the NRC's Significance Determination Process (Manual Chapter 0609). The inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green),

because while there was degradation of a valve pit designed to mitigate the effects of flooding, there was no loss of system or overall function, due to the remaining mitigation capability of the system.

5EnclosureThis finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification andresolution, in that FENOC did not properly identify quality issues completely, accurately, and in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance, when deficiencies in the valve pit were not identified in a February 2006 inspection P.1(a).Enforcement. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions, requires inpart, that conditions adverse to quality are identified and corrected, commensurate with their safety significance. Contrary to these requirements, the licensee failed to perform timely and effective corrective actions to identify unsealed penetrations and other deficiencies, and correct them in a timely manner. Because this deficiency was considered of very low safety significance, and was entered into the corrective action program for resolution as CR 07-15503 and 15504, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000334/2007002-01, Failure to effect timely and adequate correctiveactions related to deficiencies in a safety-related river water valve pit.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program (71111.11).1Resident Inspector Quarterly Review (71111.11Q - 1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed Unit 1 licensed operator simulator training, which highlightedplant transients, on February 8, 2007. The inspectors evaluated licensed operatorperformance regarding command and control, implementation of normal, annunciator response, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures, communications, technical specification review and compliance, and emergency plan implementation. The inspectors evaluated the licensee training personnel to verify that

(1) deficiencies in operator performance were identified,
(2) conditions adverse to quality were entered into the corrective action program for resolution, and
(3) applicable training objectives had been achieved. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

6Enclosure1R12Maintenance Rule Implementation (71111.12)Routine Maintenance Effectiveness Inspection (71111.12Q - 2 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated Maintenance Rule (MR) implementation for the issues listedbelow. The inspectors evaluated specific attributes, such as MR scoping, characterization of failed structures, systems, and components (SSCs), MR risk characterization of SSCs, and SSC performance criteria and goals.

The inspectors verified that the issues were addressed consistent with 10 CFR 50.65 and the licensee's program for MR implementation. For the selected issues, the inspectors evaluated whether performance was properly dispositioned for MR category (a)(1) and (a)(2) performance monitoring. MR System Basis Documents (Unit 2 System 30, Rev. 5) was also reviewed, as appropriate.*Spare Service Water pump availability monitoring during implementation of 2OM-30.4.E, Rev. 11, "Spare Service Water Pump Shutdown," conducted on March 4, 2007.*Condition Report 07-15668, "SG Blowdown Rad Monitor Removed from Servicefor Excessive Amount of Time"

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessment and Emergent Work Control (71111.13 - 6 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the scheduling and control of six activities, and evaluatedthe effect on overall plant risk. This review was conducted to ensure compliance with applicable criteria contained in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment. The inspectors reviewed the planned or emergent work for the following activities:*On January 9 and 10, Unit 2 entered a planned "yellow" risk during performanceof portions of 2OST-01.11B, Rev. 14, "Safeguards Protection System Train 'A' SIS Go-Test;"*On January 11, Unit 1 entered a planned "yellow" risk during performance of1MSP-1.04I, Rev. 34, "Solid State Protection System Train 'A' Bi-Monthly Test;"*The inspectors reviewed condition report CR-07-13191 on January 26, whichaddressed a risk deviation between the station's Risk Management procedure (1/2-ADM-2033, Rev. 4) and the recently adopted FENOC Risk Determination 7Enclosureprocedure (NOP-OP-1007, Rev. 4) with regards to risk management during SolidState Protection System Testing;*On February 5, the inspectors assessed overall plant risk due to Unit 1instrumentation and control re-scaling for extended power uprate (ECP 06-0371)and work week schedule impact;*On March 12, Unit 2 entered a planned "yellow" risk during combined activitiesregarding safety-bus motor control center component replacements and low head safety injection flow indicator calibration; and*On March 22, Unit 2 entered a planned "yellow" risk status due to thereplacement of the 2-2 Battery Breaker. In addition, the licensee identified this evolution as an "Orange Risk Activity," which required additional controls in accordance with NOP-OP-1007, Rev. 4, "Risk Determination."

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations (71111.15 - 6 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of selected operability determinations(OD), Basis for Continued Operations (BCO), or operability assessments, to verify that determinations of operability were justified, as appropriate. In addition, the inspectors verified that TS limiting conditions for operation (LCO) requirements and UFSAR design basis requirements were properly addressed. Documents reviewed are listed in the

. This inspection activity represents six samples of the following issues:*The inspectors evaluated licensee actions following the identification of high siltlevels in the intake structure in January 2007. These silt levels were identified during intake bay cleaning activities and were documented in CR-07-12053, CR-07-13035, and CR-07-13112;*The inspectors evaluated the licensee's assessment of operability for the 'B'motor-driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump, as detailed in CR-07-12672, and CR-07-12720. This assessment was performed due to the identification of water in the lube oil reservoir and both the inboard and outboard bearing housings, on January 15, 2007;*The inspectors evaluated the licensee's response following the identification of abreaker component found on the floor and associated with a 480V Masterpact Breaker utilized at Unit 1. This component, a primary disconnect stab (one of nine) later identified to be from a non-safety-related bus feeder breaker that was installed in the plant, was detailed in CR-07-12790; 8Enclosure*On January 18, the inspectors evaluated the licensee evaluation of issuesidentified during review of a 10CFR21 notification, documented in CR 07-13031, regarding Fairbanks Morse digital reference units (DRU). The DRU is a component of the installed Unit 2 emergency diesel engine 2301A control system;*The inspectors evaluated the licensee's response to and assessment ofoperability of Unit 2 AFW carbon steel components due to boric acid found in the

'B' motor-driven AFW pump seal leakoffs, as detailed in CR 07-13253. This assessment was performed due to the identification of an open chemical injection valve [2FWE-378] on January 23, 2007; and*The inspectors evaluated the licensee's response to and assessment of steamleaking by residual heat release valve, 2SVS-HCV104, at Unit 2 as detailed in CR 07-16066 on March 13. This leak-by may impact off-site and control room doses during a design basis steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) event, due to an inability to isolate a faulted steam generator. The licensee quantified the leakage and determined that the leakage from the degraded condition of the valve was bounded by the analysis, such that it would still perform its intended function and not adversely impact dose limits.

b. Findings

Introduction.

A Green, self-revealing Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,Criterion V, was identified for failure to properly implement and control chemical additions to the Unit 2 Steam Generators, and resulted in a valve being out of its normal system alignment for approximately 71 days. As a result, it led to the unexpected inoperability of a safety-related auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump for an extended period of time.

Description.

On January 13, 2007, a Unit 2 operator identified an abnormally full oilbubbler located on the Unit 2 'B' AFW pump, which subsequently led to the identification of water in the bearings and oil reservoir of the pump. The pump was subsequently flushed, and a successful operability run was later performed on January 15. (See Section 1R19)A root cause investigation revealed that during the Unit 2 outage, on or about November11, 2006, a valve that interfaces between the main feedwater (MFW) chemical addition system and the AFW system was opened, as required, during steam generator fill evolutions. This valve was identified to be open during the licensee's root cause investigation. No procedure could be found that documented the valve manipulations; however, other indicators existed that supported the conclusion that the valve had been left out of its normal system alignment. The valve being misaligned resulted in the exposure of the AFW system, and the 'B'AFW pump in particular, to borated water during normal, secondary plant chemical additions over the course of a few months. Subsequently, packing gland leakoff with 9Enclosurehigher concentrations of boric acid, as well as normal corrosion products, blocked aleakoff reservoir drain. This, in turn, allowed water to be introduced into the bearing housings, and eventually, the main oil reservoir. This would challenge the ability of the

'B' AFW pump to perform its safety function for its required design basis mission time.

As stated earlier, while no procedure could be found that documented the valvemanipulations for the mispositioned valve, the inspectors noted that this valve needed to be opened to accomplish appropriate chemistry control during steam generator fill operations. The following observations and conclusions were made:*Valve FWE-378 was found OPEN by the root cause team approximately 71 daysafter it would have been opened to support secondary plant chemistry during steam generator fill operations while in the outage;*Boric acid deposits were identified on the inboard and outboard seal leakoffareas of the 'B' AFW pump seal leakoffs on December 20, 2006 (CR-06-11653);*The identified issues regarding water in the oil of the 'B' AFW pump onJanuary 13, 2007;*The most likely procedure that would have been used to manipulate FWE-378during the outage would have been 2CHM-ADD-7.18, "Steam Generator Boric Acid Addition."Analysis. The failure to properly implement and control chemical additions to the steamgenerators, resulting in a valve being out of normal system alignment for approximately 71 days, and ultimately leading to a degradation of a safety-related AFW pump, is considered a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that the failure to properly implement and control chemical additions to the steam generator was more than minor, because if affected the equipment performance attribute of the associated Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The significance of this finding was evaluated using Appendix A, of the NRC's Significance Determination Process (Manual Chapter 0609).

The inspectors determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (Green),

because there was no loss of function and the pump was inoperable for less than the TS LCO of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, becauseFENOC failed to ensure appropriate coordination of work activities during steam generator chemical additions, and resulted in a loss of configuration control that degraded a safety-related AFW pump for an extended period of time [H.3.(b)].

Enforcement.

10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires in part, that activitiesaffecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with appropriate procedures, and contain appropriate criteria to ensure satisfactory accomplishment. Contrary to these requirements, FENOC failed to ensure chemical addition activities were appropriately 10Enclosureperformed in accordance with approved procedures, which resulted in a valve being outof its normal alignment for approximately 71 days, and resulting in the unexpected inoperability of a safety-related auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump for an extended period of time. Because this deficiency was considered of very low safety significance, and was entered into the corrective action program for resolution as CR 07-12720, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCEnforcement Policy: NCV 05000412/2007002-02, Failure to implement and controlchemical addition activities results in a degraded auxiliary feedwater pump.

a. Inspection Scope

During the period January 29 through February 1, 2007, the inspector conducted thefollowing activities to verify that the licensee was properly implementing operational, engineering, and administrative controls to maintain personnel exposure as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) for activities performed in 2006. Also reviewed were the dose controls for current activities and the forecasted dose for the fall 2007 Unit 1 outage. Implementation of these controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, applicable industry standards, and procedures. Radiological Work Planning*The inspector reviewed pertinent information regarding cumulative exposurehistory, current exposure trends, and ongoing activities to assess past (2006)outage site ALARA performance, current (2007) exposure trends, and the challenges for the fall 2007 Unit 1 outage. *The inspector reviewed the exposure status for tasks performed during the Unit2 fall 2006 outage and compared actual exposure with forecasted estimates contained in ALARA reviews. Outage jobs reviewed included the sump modification (ALARA Plan 06-2-27), the pressurizer surge line weld overlay (ALARA Plan 06-2-51), pressurizer 780' weld overlay (ALARA Plan 06-2-43),

reactor head inspection/repair (ALARA Plan 06-2-48), and outage scaffolding construction (ALARA Plan 06-2-22).*The inspector evaluated the departmental interfaces between radiationprotection, operations, maintenance crafts, and engineering to identify missing ALARA program elements and interface problems. The evaluation was 18Enclosureaccomplished by reviewing outage Work-in-Progress and Post-Job ALARAreviews, Station ALARA Committee meeting minutes, and interviewing the station Radiation Protection Manager.Verification of Dose Estimates*The inspector reviewed the assumptions and basis for the annual (2007) sitecollective exposure projections for site operations and for the fall Unit 1 refueling outage. *The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures associated with monitoringand re-evaluating dose estimates when the forecasted cumulative exposure for tasks was approached and the implementation of these procedures during the past Unit 2 fall outage. The inspector reviewed the dose records for the fifteen

(15) workers who received the highest doses for 2006 to confirm that no individual exceeded the regulatory annual limit. Job Site Inspections*The inspector reviewed the ALARA controls contained in RWP 107-1003,Mechanical Routine Maintenance, and the associated Micro ALARA Planning Sheet for replacing decon sink drain line piping. No other jobs of radiologicalsignificance were being performed during the inspection.Source Term Reduction and Control*The inspector reviewed the status and historical trends for the Unit 1 and Unit 2source terms.

(1) Drill and ExercisePerformance (DEP);
(2) ERO Drill Participation; and
(3) ANS Reliability. The inspector reviewed supporting documentation from drills and tests for 2005 and 2006, to verify the accuracy of the reported data. The review of these PIs was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71151. The acceptance criteria used for the review were 10 CFR 50.9 and NEI 99-02, Revision 4, "Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guidelines.".2Cornerstone: Initiating Events (4 samples)The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for two PIs listed below for Unit 1 andUnit 2. The inspectors reviewed portions of the operational logs and PI data developed from monthly operating reports, and discussed methods for compiling and reporting the PIs with cognizant engineering and licensing personnel. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during this period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline," Revision 4, were used for each data element.Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours The inspectors reviewed the PIs for unplanned scrams per 7000 critical hours, to verifythat scrams had been properly reported as specified in NEI 99-02, Rev. 4. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the reported data through reviews of Licensee Event Reports, monthly operating reports, plant operating logs, and additional records. The inspectors reviewed 12 months of data (January 2006 to December 2006) for unplanned

scrams.

20EnclosureScrams with Loss of Normal Heat Removal The inspectors reviewed the PIs for scrams with loss of normal heat sink to verify thatscrams had been properly reported as specified in NEI 99-02, Rev. 4. The inspectors verified the accuracy of the reported data through reviews of Licensee Event Reports, monthly operating reports, plant operating logs, and additional records. The inspectors reviewed 12 quarters of data (January 2005 to December 2006) for scrams with loss of normal heat sink.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4OA2Problem Identification and Resolution (71152 - 2 samples total).1 Daily Review of Problem Identification and Resolution aInspection ScopeAs required by Inspection Procedure 71152, "Identification and Resolution of Problems,"and to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performance issues for followup, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into FENOC's corrective action program. This review was accomplished by reviewing each CR, attending screening meetings, and accessing FENOC's computerized CR database.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified..2Semi-Annual Trend Review (1 sample)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed site trending results for June through December 2006, todetermine if trending was appropriately performed and evaluated by FENOC. This review covered the site trending program under FENOC's Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) process, and included a sample of self-assessments from the several organizations at Beaver Valley, such as BV-SA-07-092, the BVPS "Site Roll-Up Integrated Performance Assessment." This review verified that existing trends were

(1) appropriately captured and scoped by applicable departments,
(2) consistent with the inspectors' assessment from the daily CR and inspection module reviews (Section 40A2.1 and

===.5 ), and

(3) not indicative of a more significant safety concern.===

Additionally, the inspectors verified the performance of site trending against NOP-LP-2001, Rev. 15, "Condition Report Process," and NOBP-LP-2018, Rev. 02, "Integrated Performance Assessment /Trending." The inspectors also reviewed quarterly Quality Assurance 21Enclosurereports and issues captured in the Activity Tracking database to identify issues andtrends to evaluate during the inspection.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified. However, the inspector identified a recurrent,adverse trend that involved instrument and control air system tubing deficiencies.

Specifically, FENOC's IPA from 2005, as identified in CR 05-05999, identified a number of issues associated with tubing that included, for example, air lines not properly installed and cross-threaded fasteners. Response strategy was to incorporate corrective actions into department Excellence Plans, as well as the corrective action program. The inspector identified several similar deficiencies, including incomplete ferrules (CR-06-9129), swagelok failure (CR-06-9101) and improperly made swagelok fitting (CR-06-9025). While the IPA process identified some of these issues under an area for improvement, FENOC lacked recognition that a continuing adverse trend existed and required additional scrutiny and assessment. Several plant processes were available to reasonably identify and correct plant processes such as IPAs, the corrective action program, management review of CRs (daily, following management meeting), internal experience, and oversight reports. In addition, the section performance rating was considered effective, with all attributes of the core indicators being identified as effective, which is inconsistent with a continuing adverse trend.

.3 Annual Sample Review (71152 - 1 sample)Safety Culture

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected the annual Safety Culture Assessment and managementassessment process for review. This review utilized guidance contained in NOBP-LP-2502, "Safety Culture Monitoring," Rev. 2, and focused on the adequacy and appropriateness of corrective actions.

Scaffolding Adversely Impacts Main SteamIsolation Valves Closure Capability.The inspectors reviewed the supplement LER, which finalized the root cause andassociated corrective actions to address the underlying issues that contributed to the scaffolding event. The inspector determined that no findings of significance were identified and no violations of NRC requirements occurred. This LER is closed..2Review Personnel Performance during Non-Routine Operations (3 samples)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed 3 events that demonstrated personnel performance in copingwith non-routine evolutions and transients. The inspectors observed operations in the control room and reviewed applicable operating and alarm response procedures, technical specifications, plant process computer indications, and control room shift logs to evaluate the adequacy of FENOC's response to these events. The inspectors also verified the events were entered into the corrective action program to resolve identified adverse conditions. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the

.*Unit 1: Inspectors evaluated crew response after an unexpected field forcingalarm was received on the main generator on March 12. Momentary spikes in main generator voltage and reactive load were also noted, with no alarms received. The operators referenced the appropriate abnormal operating procedure, verified stable plant parameters, and contacted the grid local control center (LCC). The system operator at the LCC reported multiple breaker operations at the coal-fired station (Bruce Mansfield) located near Beaver Valley.

It was determined that Bruce Mansfield had lost a 345kV power line coincident with the observed field forcing alarm. The inspectors reviewed shift narrative logs, printouts and other documents, and interviewed plant employees. The event was entered into the corrective action program as CR 07-16068 and

16069.*Unit 2: On March 13, the inspectors evaluated control room response to amomentary overpower transient caused by an apparent loose connectorassociated with the main turbine governor valve number four (GV-4). After fullpower ascension from condenser water box cleaning, minor oscillations of GV-4were observed and documented in the corrective action program (CR 07-16056). The inspectors noted that the crew was appropriately briefed on contingencyactions if oscillations degraded to the point of adversely affecting plantoperations. During the investigation, an apparent loose coaxial connector wastightened and caused a slight change in GV-4 position. This resulted in amomentary overpower transient with reactor power peaking at 100.19 percent. Operators in the control room observed the increasing power and appropriatelyreduced power below 100 percent. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel,reviewed shift narrative logs, printouts, and other documents. The inspectorsverified that safety limits were not exceeded. The event was entered into thecorrective action program as CR 07-16095.

  • Unit 2: On March 17, with the Control Rod Group Selector switch in AUTO,control bank 'D' rods stepped in 1-1/2 steps in response to a reactor coolantsystem temperature deviation of 1.5 degrees. The unit had recently completed acondenser water box cleaning at 85 percent power and returned to full power. Average coolant temperature was increasing, as expected, due to the effects ofreactor core Xenon, and the crew was expected to borate, in accordance withthe reactivity plan, prior to exceeding 0.5 degree deviation. This boration 24Enclosureprecludes an automatic rod insertion that occurs at a temperature deviation of1.5°F. However, the crew identified the rod insertion hours after it occurred anderroneously determined that the rod step was caused by a momentary spike ofthe median average temperature instrument. Followup investigationsdetermined that the issue was not associated with instrumentation, but rather, afailure of the control room staff to appropriately identify the change in plantconditions. The crew was subsequently administratively removed from licensedactivities and remediated. The inspectors observed remediation activities in theUnit 2 simulator. The crew completed remediation and were returned to licensedactivities. The inspectors reviewed shift narrative logs, technical specifications,and interviewed personnel. The inspectors assessed the adequacy of FENOC'sshort and long-term corrective actions as detailed in CR-07-16421.

b. Findings

No findings of significance were identified.4OA5Other.1Unit 1 Extended Power Uprate (IP 71004)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed selected plant testing and other power ascension activitiesduring the implementation of the final two phases (~2.5% + ~2.5%) (2770 MWt to 2900 MWt) of a planned 3-phase extended power uprate totaling approximately 8% power.

Inspectors observed and/or reviewed selected plant changes and testing prior to the power ascension that began on March 7, 2007. Additionally, the inspectors observed post-100% power activities and reviewed selected plant data to determine if significant plant anomalies occurred, and to ensure plant behavior was consistent with the data by simulator and analysis data.The inspectors reviewed operator actions, applicable procedure changes, and reviewedselected plant design changes and other inspection activities conducted under the normal baseline inspection program, to ensure an adequate sample of risk-significant attributes required by NRC inspection procedure 71004 were evaluated.

Specific inspections completed in the current report or credited in other NRC inspection reports can be found in the Attachment.

b. Findings
