INSPECTION
REPORT 05000334/2009008
AND 05000412/2009008
Dear Mr. Harden: On September
3,2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) completed
an inspection
at your Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents
the inspection
results, which were discussed
on September
3,2009, with Mr. Roy Brosi and other members of your staff. This inspection
was an examination
of activities
conducted
under your license as they relate to the identification
and resolution
of problems, and compliance
with the Commission's
rules and regulations
and the conditions
of your operating
license. Within these areas, the inspection
involved examination
of selected procedures
and representative
records, observations
of activities, and interviews
with personnel.
Based on the samples selected for review, the inspection
team concluded
that FirstEnergy
Nuclear Operating
Company (FENOC) was generally
effective
in identifying, evaluating
and resolving
problems.
FENOC personnel
identified
problems at a low threshold
and entered them into the Corrective
Action Program (CAP). FENOC personnel
screened issues appropriately
for operability
and reportability, and prioritized
issues commensurate
with the safety significance
of the problems.
Root and apparent cause analyses appropriately
considered
extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.
Corrective
actions addressed
the identified
causes and were typically
implemented
in a timely manner. However, the inspectors
noted several examples for improvement
in the identification
of plant issues, and examples where evaluations
lacked rigor to fully explore the corrective
actions needed to address the issue. This report documents
one NRC-identified
finding of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined
to involve a violation
of NRC requirements.
However, because of its very low safety significance
and because it has been entered into your CAP, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited
violation (NCV), in accordance
with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement
Policy. If you deny this NCV, you should provide a response with the basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units
1 & 2; Biennial Baseline Inspection
of the Identification
and Resolution
of Problems.
One finding was identified
in the area of prioritization
and evaluation
of issues. This team inspection
was performed
by three NRC regional inspectors
and one resident inspector.
One finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified
during this inspection
and was classified
as a non-cited
violation (NCV). The significance
of most findings is indicated
by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using NRC Inspection
Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance
Determination
Process" (SOP). The cross-cutting
aspect was determined
using IMC 0305, "Operating
Reactor Assessment
Program." Findings for which the SOP 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, December 2006. Identification
and Resolution
of Problems The inspectors
concluded
that FENOC was, in general, effective
in identifying, evaluating, and resolving
problems.
Beaver Valley personnel
identified
problems at a low threshold
and entered them into the Corrective
Action Program (CAP). The inspectors
determined
that Beaver Valley personnel
screened issues appropriately
for operability
and reportability, and prioritized
issues commensurate
with the safety significance
of the problems.
Root and apparent cause analyses appropriately
considered
extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.
The inspectors
determined
that corrective
actions addressed
the identified
causes and were typically
implemented
in a timely manner. However, the inspectors
noted one NCV of very low safety significance
in the area of prioritization
and evaluation
of issues. This issue was entered into FENOC's CAP during the inspection.
FENOC's audits and self-assessments
reviewed by the inspectors
were thorough and probing. Additionally, the inspectors
concluded
that FENOC adequately
identified, reviewed, and applied relevant industry operating
experience (OE) to the Beaver Valley Power Station. Based on interviews, observations
of plant activities, and reviews of the CAP and the Employees
Concerns Program (ECP), the inspectors
did not identify any concerns with site personnel
willingness
to raise safety issues, nor did the inspectors
identify conditions
that could have had a negative impact on the site's safety conscious
work environment (SCWE). Cornerstone:
Mitigating
Systems Green. The inspectors
identified
an NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), "Requirements
for Monitoring
the Effectiveness
of Maintenance
at Nuclear Power Plants," due to FENOC personnel's
failure to demonstrate
that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
of the containment
isolation
valve limit switches was effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventive
maintenance.
Specifically, as evidenced by
repeat dual position indications
of containment
isolation
valves in the control room between 2007 and 2009 resulting
in 21 unplanned
entries into Technical
Specification
3.6.3, the containment
isolation
valve system 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
demonstration
was no longer justified
in accordance
with Maintenance
Rule Enclosure 
implementing
procedure
guidance.
This should have resulted in placement
of the containment
isolation
valve system in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
for goal setting and monitoring.
FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64040).
The inspectors
determined
the finding was more than minor because it is associated
with the Equipment
Performance
attribute
of the Mitigating
Systems cornerstone
and adversely
affected the cornerstone
objective
of ensuring the reliability
of systems that respond to initiating
events to prevent undesirable
consequences.
The finding was determined
to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve a design or qualification
deficiency
resulting
in loss of operability
or functionality, did not result in a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially
risk significant
due to external initiating
events. The inspectors
determined
that this finding had a cross-cutting
aspect in the "Corrective
Action Program" component
of the Problem Identification
and Resolution
cross-cutting
area because FENOC did not take appropriate
corrective
actions to address safety issues and adverse trends associated
with faulty containment
isolation
valve limit switches in a timely manner, commensurate
with their safety significance
and complexity

.1 REPORT DETAILS 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA) 40A2 Problem Identification
and Resolution (PI&R) (71152B) Assessment
of the Corrective
Action Program Effectiveness
a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors
reviewed FENOC's procedures
that describe the CAP at the Beaver Valley Power Station. FENOC personnel
identified
problems by initiating
condition
reports (CRs) for conditions
adverse to quality, plant equipment
deficiencies, industrial
or radiological
safety concerns, and other significant
issues. Condition
reports were subsequently
screened for operability
and reportability, and categorized
by significance, which included levels SR (significant
condition
adverse to quality, root cause), AR (adverse condition, root cause), AA (adverse condition, full apparent cause), AL (adverse condition, limited apparent cause), AF (adverse condition, fix), and AC (adverse condition, close). CRs were assigned to personnel
for evaluation
and resolution
or trending.
The inspectors
evaluated
the process for assigning
and tracking issues to ensure that issues were screened for operability
and reportability, prioritized
for evaluation
and resolution
in a timely manner commensurate
with their safety significance, and tracked to identify adverse trends and repetitive
issues. In addition, the inspectors
interviewed
plant staff and management
to determine
their understanding
of, and involvement
with, the CAP. The inspectors
reviewed CRs selected across the seven cornerstones
of safety in the NRC's Reactor Oversight
Process (ROP) to determine
if site personnel
properly identified, characterized, and entered problems into the CAP for evaluation
and resolution.
The inspectors
selected items from functional
areas that included physical security, emergency
preparedness, engineering, maintenance, operations, and radiation
safety to ensure that FENOC appropriately
addressed
problems identified
in these functional
areas. The inspectors
selected a risk-informed
sample of CRs that had been issued since the last NRC Problem Identification
and Resolution (PI&R) inspection
conducted
in April 2007. Insights from the station's
risk analyses were considered
to focus the sample selection
and plant walkdowns
on risk-significant
systems and components.
The corrective
action review was expanded to five years for evaluation
of identified
concerns within CRs relative to radiation
monitors.
The inspectors
selected items from various processes
at Beaver Valley to verify that they were appropriately
considered
for entry into the CAP. Specifically, the inspectors
reviewed a sample of Maintenance
Rule functional
failure evaluations, operability
determinations, system health reports, work orders (WOs), and issues entered into the Employee Concerns Program (ECP). The inspectors
inspected
plant areas including
the turbine buildings, safeguards
buildings, intake structure, emergency
diesel generator
buildings, yard areas, security areas, and control room. Enclosure 
The inspectors
reviewed CRs to assess whether FENOC personnel
adequately
evaluated
and prioritized
issues. The CRs reviewed encompassed
the full range of evaluations, including
root cause analyses, full apparent cause evaluations, limited apparent cause analyses, and common cause analyses.
A sample of CRs that were assigned lower levels of significance
which did not include formal cause evaluations (AF and AC significance
levels) were also reviewed by the inspectors
to ensure they were appropriately
classified.
The inspectors'
review included the appropriateness
of the assigned significance, the scope and depth of the analysis, and the timeliness
of resolution.
The inspectors
assessed whether the evaluations
identified
likely causes for the issues and identified
appropriate
corrective
actions to address the identified
causes. As part of this review, the inspectors
interviewed
various station personnel
to fully understand
details within the evaluations
and the proposed and completed
corrective
actions. The inspectors
observed management
review board (MRB) meetings in which FENOC personnel
reviewed new CRs for prioritization
and assignment.
Further, the inspectors
reviewed equipment
operability
determinations
and extent-of-condition
reviews for selected CRs to verify these specific reviews adequately
addressed
equipment
operability
and the extent of problems.
The inspectors'
review of CRs also focused on the associated
corrective
actions in order to determine
whether the actions addressed
the identified
causes of the problems.
The inspectors
reviewed CRs for adverse trends and repetitive
problems to determine
whether corrective
actions were effective
in addressing
the broader issues. The inspectors
reviewed FENOC's timeliness
in implementing.
corrective
actions and effectiveness
in precluding
recurrence
for significant
conditions
adverse to quality. Lastly, the inspectors
reviewed CRs associated
with NRC non-cited
violations (NCV) and findings since the last PI&R inspection
to determine
whether FENOC personnel
properly evaluated
and resolved the issues. Specific documents
reviewed during the inspection
are listed in the Attachment
to this report. b. Assessment
Effectiveness
of Problem Identification
Based on the selected samples reviewed, plant walkdowns, and interviews
of site personnel, the inspectors
determined
that, in general, FENOC personnel
identified
problems and entered them into the CAP at a low threshold.
For the issues reviewed, the inspectors
noted that problems or concerns had been appropriately
documented
in enough detail to understand
the issues. Approximately
19,000 CRs had been written by FENOC personnel
since January 2007. The inspectors
noted that the Security department
had generated
significantly
less CRs when compared to the rest of the site. Interviews
with Security personnel
revealed that they had received adequate training, displayed
a willingness
to raise issues, and had ample access to computers;
however, there was a reliance on the shift Captain to enter issues into the CAP. The inspectors
observed managers and supervisors
at MRB meetings appropriately
questioning
and challenging
CRs to ensure clarity of the issues. The inspectors
determined
that FENOC personnel
trended equipment
and programmatic
issues, and CR descriptions
appropriately
included reference
to repeat occurrences
of issues. The Enclosure 
inspectors
concluded
that personnel
were identifying
trends at low levels. The inspectors
toured plant areas including
the turbine buildings, safeguards
buildings, intake structure, emergency
diesel generator
buildings, yard areas, security areas and control room to determine
if FENOC personnel
identified
plant issues at the proper threshold.
Housekeeping
in all areas, with the exception
of the Unit 2 intake structure, was noted to be improved since the 2007 NRC PI&R inspection.
During the plant walkdown, the inspectors
identified
three examples of adverse conditions
that had not been identified
by FENOC. The following
issues were entered into the CAP for evaluation
and resolution: During an inspection
of the east end of the main intake structure, the inspectors
identified
an oxygen bottle strapped to an Appendix R ladder (a ladder used by plant personnel
for implementing the
site fire protection
program).
Restraining
the oxygen bottle and Appendix R ladder together in this fashion represented
a minor procedure
violation
of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-PIP-G01, "Securing
Transient/Temporary/Stored
Equipment
in Safety-Related
Areas." This issue is minor because there was no adverse impact to plant safety equipment, and there was only minimal impact on operator fire response times. FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63536). During an inspection
of the 'D' intake structure
cubicle, the inspectors
identified
rigging scaffolding
with a chainfall
that had been left draped over a safety related component.
Scaffold contacting
plant equipment
represented
a minor procedure
violation
of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-ADM-0810, "Scaffold
Erection and Tagging." The component
was not damaged nor had any reduced capability
as a result of the contact with the chainfall.
This issue is minor because there was no loss of operability
or adverse impact to the safety related component.
FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63532). During an inspection
of the Unit 2 Safeguards
Building, the inspectors
identified
four plastic buckets filled with lubricating
oil totaling 20 gallons. The unattended
oil in a safety related fire area represented
a minor procedure
violation
of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-ADM-1906, "Control of Transient
Combustible
and Flammable
Materials." This issue is minor because the increase in combustible
loading in the room as a result of the unattended
oil did not violate the plant fire hazard analysis.
FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63441).
In accordance
with NRC Inspection
Manual Chapter 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection
Reports," the above issues constitute
violations
of minor significance
that are not subject to enforcement
action in accordance
with the NRC's Enforcement
Policy. Effectiveness
of Prioritization
and Evaluation
of Issues The inspectors
determined
that, in general, FENOC personnel
appropriately
prioritized
and evaluated
issues commensurate
with their safety significance.
CRs were screened for operability
and reportability, categorized
by significance, and assigned to a department
for evaluation
and resolution.
The CR screening
process considered
human performance
issues, radiological
safety concerns, repetitiveness
and adverse trends. The inspectors
observed managers and supervisors
at MRB meetings appropriately
questioning
and challenging
CRs to ensure appropriate
prioritization.
Enclosure 
CRs were categorized
for evaluation
and resolution
commensurate
with the significance
of the issues. Based on the sample of CRs reviewed, the guidance provided by the FENOC implementing procedures appeared
sufficient
to ensure consistency
in categorization
of the issues. Operability
and reportability
determinations
were performed
when conditions
warranted
and the evaluations
supported
the conclusions.
Causal analyses appropriately
considered
extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.
During this inspection, the inspectors
noted that, in general, FENOC's root cause analyses were thorough, and corrective
and preventive
actions addressed
the identified
causes. Additionally, the identified
causes were well supported.
An NCV was identified
for FENOC's failure to demonstrate
that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
of the containment
isolation
valve limit switches was effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventive
maintenance.
This NCV is discussed
in the findings section of this assessment
area. The inspectors
identified
the following
two examples of issues that were not fully evaluated
or prioritized
for corrective
action: A root cause evaluation (CR 08-39835)
associated
with a 2.5 inch drain down of the Unit 2 reactor coolant system during refueling
outage 2R13 did not identify all corrective
actions necessary
to address all failed barriers.
The inspectors
noted that the root cause evaluation
had not included corrective
actions to address the communication
failure within operations
shifts, and the work management
scheduling
issues which contributed
to a component
tagoutlctearance
being inappropriately
implemented.
The issue is minor because while corrective
actions were not assigned to address all failed barriers, FENOC had discussed
communication
expectations
with each operating
crew and there have not been any repeat issues. FENOC entered these issues into the CAP (CR 09-63454 and 09-63479). The inspectors
identified
three CRs describing
component
mispositioning
events (CR 09-59541, CR 09-58355, and CR 09-57224)
that were prioritized
as CR level OlAF." The failure to prioritize
these CRs as a limited apparent cause (CR level "AL") represented
a minor procedure
violation
of Beaver Valley procedure, OP-0004, "Component
Mispositioning." The inspectors
reviewed NRC Inspection
Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," and determined
this issue was minor because there
was no loss of operability
or safety impact. FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64004 and CR 09-63975).
In accordance
with NRC Inspection
Manual Chapter 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection
Reports," these issues constitute
violations
of minor significance
that are not subject to enforcement
action in accordance
with the NRC's Enforcement
Policy. Effectiveness
of Corrective
Actions The inspectors
concluded
that corrective
actions for identified
deficiencies
were generally
timely and adequately
implemented.
For significant
conditions
adverse to quality, corrective
actions were identified
to prevent recurrence.
The inspectors
concluded
that corrective
actions to address NCVs and findings since the last PI&R inspection
were timely and effective.
The inspectors
identified
the following
example where corrective
actions were not fully effective
in addressing
an issue: Enclosure 
The inspectors
reviewed corrective
actions taken in response to an NCV documented
in NRC report 05000334/05000412
2007004. CR 07-24074 was written to ensure bearing temperatures
would be monitored
when performing
surveillance
testing on the turbine driven auxiliary
feedpumps (TDAFWP).
The inspectors
found that the comprehensive
surveillance
tests for Unit 1 and Unit 2 (Beaver Valley procedures
10ST-24.9
and 20ST-24.4A, respectively)
did not have a precaution
stating that this surveillance
was not suitable to be used for post maintenance
testing as there is no guidance prescribed
to monitor and achieve steady bearing temperatures.
The inspectors
determined
that the issue was minor because the preventive
maintenance
work order had contained
the appropriate
guidance.
FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64015).
c. Findings Introduction:
The inspectors
identified
an NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), "Requirements
for Monitoring
the Effectiveness
of Maintenance
at Nuclear Power Plants," due to FENOC personnel's
failure to demonstrate
that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
of the containment
isolation
valve limit switches was effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventive
maintenance.
Specifically, as evidenced
by repeat dual position indications
of containment
isolation
valves in the control room resulting
in 21 unplanned entries into
Technical
Specification
3.6.3, the containment
isolation
valve system 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
demonstration
was no longer justified
in accordance
with Maintenance
Rule implementing
procedure
guidance.
Description:
The containment
isolation
valve system is a risk-significant
system that is scoped within the Maintenance
Rule because it is a system, structure, or component (SSC) required to mitigate accidents/transients
and is identified
in emergency
operating
procedures.
The primary Maintenance
Rule function of the containment
isolation
valve system is to provide a containment
isolation
function during an event to prevent offsite radiological
release. Additionally, limit switches associated
with each containment
isolation
valve are scoped within the Maintenance
Rule because they provide a function to indicate valve position
in the control room for operators
to use during emergency
operating
procedures.
In February 2009, during stroke-time
testing, an air-operated
containment
isolation
valve displayed
dual indication
in the control room, causing the stroke times of the valve to be indeterminate
and causing an unplanned
entry into Technical
Specification
3.6.3. Additionally, between January 2007 and July 2009, Technical
Specification
3.6.3 had 21 unplanned
entries as a result of faulty limit switches on similar containment
isolation
valves. This resulted in the FENOC established
containment
isolation
valve system Maintenance
Rule condition
monitoring
criteria being exceeded, which required FENOC to perform a Maintenance
Rule 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
evaluation.
The Maintenance
Rule (a)(1) evaluation
was completed
in February 2009 and concluded
that the containment
isolation
valve system should continue to be monitored
in accordance
with Maintenance
Rule 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)., This reinforced
a similar decision made in 2007 based on a Maintenance
Rule (a)(1) evaluation
recommendation
to keep the system in (a)(2) despite Enclosure 
the condition
monitoring
criteria being exceeded due to multiple dual indications
in the control room. The basis of the decision was that the dual indication
issue was a result of faulty limit switches, and that this did not affect the valve's safety related function to close during an event to prevent offsite radiological
release. Site personnel
determined
the direct cause was the limit switch being out of adjustment
due to a problem with the required torque. Despite the repeat failures, FENOC failed to implement
or revise preventive
maintenance
practices
for these limit switches.
Subsequently, the Maintenance
Rule Steering Committee
approved a revision to clarify the monitoring
criteria for the containment
isolation
valve system, which would exclude future indication
problems that did not affect the valve's ability to isolate containment.
However, it failed to take into account the limit switches'
Maintenance
Rule function in emergency
operating
procedures, specifically, the ability to accurately
indicate valve position in the control room during an event. Following
the change to the condition
monitoring
criteria, the site had seven valves display dual indication
in the control room between February 2009 and June 2009 that FENOC concluded
did not affect valve operability.
The inspectors
concluded
that the numerous dual indications
of the limit switches should have been evaluated
against FENOC's Maintenance
Rule condition
monitoring
criteria and should have resulted in placement
of the containment
isolation
valve system in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
for goal setting and monitoring.
FENOC performed
an extent of condition
review on two other valves of the same model, and determined
that the torque on the limit switch fasteners
needed to be adjusted.
FENOC corrected
the torque issue and has implemented
plans to install a button tab on the limit switches to minimize misalignment
causing dual indications.
Analysis:
The inspectors
determined
that the failure to demonstrate
that the 10 CFR 50.65{a)(2)
performance
of the containment
isolation
valve limit switches was effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventive
maintenance
was a performance
deficiency
within FENOC personnel's
ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.
Traditional
Enforcement
did not apply, as the issue did not have actual or potential
safety consequence, had no willful aspects, nor did it impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory
function.
A review of NRC Inspection
Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," revealed that no minor examples were applicable
to this finding. The inspectors
determined
the finding was more than minor because it is associated
with the Equipment
Performance
attribute
of the Mitigating
Systems cornerstone
and adversely
affected the cornerstone
objective
of ensuring the reliability
of systems that respond to initiating
events to prevent undesirable
consequences.
Specifically, the dual indication
of containment
isolation
valves in the control room due to faulty limit switches presents a challenge
to the operators
during event response while implementing
emergency
operating
procedures, and has resulted in 21 unplanned
Technical
Specification
entries. The numerous dual indication
instances
should have caused the containment
isolation
valve system to be placed in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
for goal setting and monitoring.
The inspectors
determined
the significance
of the finding using IMC 0609.04, "Phase 1 Initial Screening
and Characterization
of Findings." The finding was determined
to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve a design or qualification
deficiency
resulting
in loss of operability
or functionality, did not result in a loss of system Enclosure 
safety function, and did not screen as potentially
risk significant
due to external initiating
events. The inspectors
determined
that this finding had a cross-cutting
aspect in the "Corrective
Action Program" component
of the Problem Identification
and Resolution
cross-cutting
area because FENOC did not take appropriate
corrective
actions to address safety issues and adverse trends associated
with faulty containment
isolation
valve limit switches in a timely manner, commensurate
with their safety
significance
and complexity
[P.1 (d)). Enforcement:
10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
requires, in part, that holders of an operating
license shall monitor the performance
or condition
of SSCs within the scope of the monitoring
program as defined in 10 CFR 50.65(b) against licensee-established
goals, in a manner sufficient
to provide reasonable
assurance
that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling
their intended functions.
10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
states, in part, that monitoring
as specified
in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)
is not required where it has been demonstrated
that the performance
or condition
of an SSC is being effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventative
maintenance, such that the SSC remains capable of performing
its intended function.
Contrary to the above, between 2007 and 2009, FENOC personnel
failed to demonstrate
that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)
performance
of the containment
isolation
valve limit switches was effectively
controlled
through the performance
of appropriate
preventive
maintenance.
FENOC has performed
an extent of condition
review and has initiated
corrective
actions to install a button tab on the limit switches to minimize misalignment
causing the dual indications.
Because this violation
was of very low safety significance
and has been entered into the CAP (CR 09-64040), this violation
is being treated as an NCV, consistent
with the NRC Enforcement
Policy (NCV 05000314,412/2009008-01:
Containment
Isolation
Valve System 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) Performance
Demonstration
Not Met) . . 2 Assessment
of the Use of Operating
Experience
a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors
selected a sample of CRs associated
with the review of industry Operating
Experience (OE) to determine
whether FENOC personnel
appropriately
evaluated
the OE information
for applicability
to Beaver Valley and had taken appropriate
actions, when warranted.
The inspectors
reviewed CR evaluations
of OE documents
associated
with a sample of NRC Generic Letters and Information
Notices to ensure that FENOC adequately
considered
the underlying
problems associated
with the issues for resolution
via their CAP. The inspectors
also observed plant activities
to determine
if industry OE was considered
during the performance
of routine activities.
Specific documents
reviewed during the inspection
are listed in the Attachment
to this report. b. Assessment
The inspectors
determined
that, in general, FENOC appropriately
considered
industry OE information
for applicability, and used the information
for corrective
and preventive
actions Enclosure 
to identify and prevent similar issues when appropriate.
The inspectors
determined
that OE was appropriately
applied and lessons learned were communicated
and incorporated
into plant operations.
The inspectors
observed that industry OE was routinely
discussed
and considered
during the performance
of plant activities.
The inspectors
reviewed a fleet-level
focused self-assessment
of OE performed
in May 2008. The self-assessment
identified
a number of weaknesses, specifically: OE was not discussed
in system health reports; Roles and responsibilities
of Section OE Coordinators
were not clearly defined; Familiarization
with SAP, the database used to manage OE, was low at the Management
and Section OE Coordinator
levels; and Procedures
describing
the requirements
to process OE were in need of revision to add clarity. Although the inspectors
noted that corrective
actions were not completed
until June 2009, since that time Beaver Valley has made progress in addressing
OE program needs. This has included clearly defining the roles and responsibilities
of Section OE Coordinators.
Procedures
have been revised and a familiarization
guide has been completed
with guidance on how to use SAP efficiently.
Training has been completed
for Section OE Coordinators
and the backlog of unreviewed
OE items has decreased (currently
at 2 unreviewed
items as compared to over 12 items previously).
Finally, a higher level of accountability
has been placed on each department
to report backlogged
OE items at weekly plant meetings.
With respect to incorporating
OE in system health reports, the inspectors
identified
that OE continued
not to be incorporated
in the 2008 and 2009 reports. FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-63999).
c. Findings No findings of significance
were identified . . 3 Assessment
of Self-Assessments
and Audits a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors
reviewed a sample of snapshot self-assessments, focused assessments, fleet-level
assessments, and a variety of self-assessments
focused on various plant programs.
These reviews were performed
to determine
if problems identified
through these assessments
were entered into the CAP, and whether corrective
actions were initiated
to address identified
deficiencies.
The effectiveness
of the assessments
was evaluated
by comparing
audit and assessment
results against self-revealing
and NRC-identified
observations
made during the inspection.
A list of documents
reviewed is included in the Attachment
to this report. b. Assessment
The inspectors
concluded
that QA audits and self-assessments
were critical, thorough, and effective
in identifying
issues. The inspectors
observed that these audits and self-Enclosure 
.4 12 assessments
were completed
by personnel
knowledgeable
in the subject areas and were completed
to a sufficient
depth to identify issues that were then entered into the CAP for evaluation.
Corrective
actions associated
with the issues were implemented
commensurate
with their safety significance.
FENOC managers evaluated
the results and initiated
appropriate
actions to focus on areas identified
for improvement.
c. Findings No findings of significance
were identified . Assessment
of Safety Conscious
Work Environment
a. Inspection
Scope The inspectors
performed
interviews
with station personnel
to assess the safety conscious
work environment (SCWE) at Beaver Valley. Specifically, the inspectors
interviewed
personnel
to determine
whether they were hesitant to raise safety concerns to their management
and/or the NRC. The inspectors
also interviewed
the station Employee Concerns Program (ECP) coordinator
to determine
what actions were implemented
to ensure employees
were aware of the program and its availability
with regard to raising concerns.
The inspectors
reviewed the ECP files to ensure that issues were entered into the CAP when appropriate.
The inspectors
reviewed site SCWE surveys from 2007 and 2008 to assess any adverse trends in department
and site safety culture. A list of documents
reviewed is included in the Attachment
to this report. b. Assessment
During interviews, plant staff expressed
a willingness
to use the CAP to identify plant issues and deficiencies, and stated that they were willing to raise safety issues. All persons interviewed
demonstrated
an adequate knowledge
of the CAP and ECP. Based on these limited interviews, the inspectors
concluded
that there was no evidence of SCWE concerns and no significant
challenges
to the free flow of information.
SCWE surveys in 2007 and 2008 showed that the overall SCWE health at Beaver Valley remained positive.
The surveys indicated
the staff understands
and accepts expectations
and responsibilities
for identifying
concerns.
The surveys indicated
FENOC personnel
feel free to approach management
with issues and management
expectations
on safety and quality are clearly communicated.
The surveys indicated
lower than average scores for Radiation
Protection, Chemistry, Security, and Site Projects departments.
CRs were generated
to help promote improvement
in the safety culture of these departments, and corrective
actions were implemented.
The inspectors
noted that when compared to the 2007 survey, the Operations
department
had an increase in negative responses
in the 2008 survey. This trend had not been entered into the CAP for evaluation
since the negative score averages did not exceed a ten percent cutoff "trigger" for CR generation.
The inspectors
questioned
this cutoff in that it appeared to potentially
limit FENOC's ability to fully explore year-to-year
trends in departments
that may not exceed ten percent negative responses, but decline significantly
from the previous survey_ FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-63998).
Enclosure 
As a result of the survey review, the inspectors
completed
additional
SCWE interviews
with operators
to determine
if there was a reluctance
to raise safety issues. No individuals
expressed
any fear to raise issues. Findings No findings of significance
were identified.
40A6 Meetings, Including
Exit On September
3, 2009, the inspectors
presented
the inspection
results to Mr. Roy Brosi, Director of Site Performance
Improvement, and other members of the Beaver Valley staff. The inspectors
verified that no proprietary
information
was documented
in the report. ATTACHMENT:

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION -NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

AND RESOLUTION

INSPECTION

REPORT 05000334/2009008

AND 05000412/2009008

Dear Mr. Harden: On September

3,2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) completed

an inspection

at your Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents

the inspection

results, which were discussed

on September

3,2009, with Mr. Roy Brosi and other members of your staff. This inspection

was an examination

of activities

conducted

under your license as they relate to the identification

and resolution

of problems, and compliance

with the Commission's

rules and regulations

and the conditions

of your operating

license. Within these areas, the inspection

involved examination

of selected procedures

and representative

records, observations

of activities, and interviews

with personnel.

Based on the samples selected for review, the inspection

team concluded

that FirstEnergy

Nuclear Operating

Company (FENOC) was generally

effective

in identifying, evaluating

and resolving

problems.

FENOC personnel

identified

problems at a low threshold

and entered them into the Corrective

Action Program (CAP). FENOC personnel

screened issues appropriately

for operability

and reportability, and prioritized

issues commensurate

with the safety significance

of the problems.

Root and apparent cause analyses appropriately

considered

extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.

Corrective

actions addressed

the identified

causes and were typically

implemented

in a timely manner. However, the inspectors

noted several examples for improvement

in the identification

of plant issues, and examples where evaluations

lacked rigor to fully explore the corrective

actions needed to address the issue. This report documents

one NRC-identified

finding of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined

to involve a violation

of NRC requirements.

However, because of its very low safety significance

and because it has been entered into your CAP, the NRC is treating this finding as a non-cited

violation (NCV), in accordance

with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC's Enforcement

Policy. If you deny this NCV, you should provide a response with the basis for your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection

report, to the U.S. Nuclear

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

report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector

08/17/2009

-09/03/2009;

Beaver Valley Power Station, Units

1 & 2; Biennial Baseline Inspection

of the Identification

and Resolution

of Problems.

One finding was identified

in the area of prioritization

and evaluation

of issues. This team inspection

was performed

by three NRC regional inspectors

and one resident inspector.

One finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified

during this inspection

and was classified

as a non-cited

violation (NCV). The significance

of most findings is indicated

by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using NRC Inspection

Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance

Determination

Process" (SOP). The cross-cutting

aspect was determined

using IMC 0305, "Operating

Reactor Assessment

Program." Findings for which the SOP 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, December 2006. Identification

and Resolution

of Problems The inspectors

concluded

that FENOC was, in general, effective

in identifying, evaluating, and resolving

problems.

Beaver Valley personnel

identified

problems at a low threshold

and entered them into the Corrective

Action Program (CAP). The inspectors

determined

that Beaver Valley personnel

screened issues appropriately

for operability

and reportability, and prioritized

issues commensurate

with the safety significance

of the problems.

Root and apparent cause analyses appropriately

considered

extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.

The inspectors

determined

that corrective

actions addressed

the identified

causes and were typically

implemented

in a timely manner. However, the inspectors

noted one NCV of very low safety significance

in the area of prioritization

and evaluation

of issues. This issue was entered into FENOC's CAP during the inspection.

FENOC's audits and self-assessments

reviewed by the inspectors

were thorough and probing. Additionally, the inspectors

concluded

that FENOC adequately

identified, reviewed, and applied relevant industry operating

experience (OE) to the Beaver Valley Power Station. Based on interviews, observations

of plant activities, and reviews of the CAP and the Employees

Concerns Program (ECP), the inspectors

did not identify any concerns with site personnel

willingness

to raise safety issues, nor did the inspectors

identify conditions

that could have had a negative impact on the site's safety conscious

work environment (SCWE). Cornerstone:

Mitigating

Systems Green. The inspectors

identified

an NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), "Requirements

for Monitoring

the Effectiveness

of Maintenance

at Nuclear Power Plants," due to FENOC personnel's

failure to demonstrate

that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

of the containment

isolation

valve limit switches was effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventive

maintenance.

Specifically, as evidenced by

repeat dual position indications

of containment

isolation

valves in the control room between 2007 and 2009 resulting

in 21 unplanned

entries into Technical

Specification

3.6.3, the containment

isolation

valve system 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

demonstration

was no longer justified

in accordance

with Maintenance

Rule Enclosure

implementing

procedure

guidance.

This should have resulted in placement

of the containment

isolation

valve system in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

for goal setting and monitoring.

FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64040).

The inspectors

determined

the finding was more than minor because it is associated

with the Equipment

Performance

attribute

of the Mitigating

Systems cornerstone

and adversely

affected the cornerstone

objective

of ensuring the reliability

of systems that respond to initiating

events to prevent undesirable

consequences.

The finding was determined

to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve a design or qualification

deficiency

resulting

in loss of operability

or functionality, did not result in a loss of system safety function, and did not screen as potentially

risk significant

due to external initiating

events. The inspectors

determined

that this finding had a cross-cutting

aspect in the "Corrective

Action Program" component

of the Problem Identification

and Resolution

cross-cutting

area because FENOC did not take appropriate

corrective

actions to address safety issues and adverse trends associated

with faulty containment

isolation

valve limit switches in a timely manner, commensurate

with their safety significance

and complexity

.1 REPORT DETAILS 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA) 40A2 Problem Identification

and Resolution (PI&R) (71152B) Assessment

of the Corrective

Action Program Effectiveness

a. Inspection

Scope The inspectors

reviewed FENOC's procedures

that describe the CAP at the Beaver Valley Power Station. FENOC personnel

identified

problems by initiating

condition

reports (CRs) for conditions

adverse to quality, plant equipment

deficiencies, industrial

or radiological

safety concerns, and other significant

issues. Condition

reports were subsequently

screened for operability

and reportability, and categorized

by significance, which included levels SR (significant

condition

adverse to quality, root cause), AR (adverse condition, root cause), AA (adverse condition, full apparent cause), AL (adverse condition, limited apparent cause), AF (adverse condition, fix), and AC (adverse condition, close). CRs were assigned to personnel

for evaluation

and resolution

or trending.

The inspectors

evaluated

the process for assigning

and tracking issues to ensure that issues were screened for operability

and reportability, prioritized

for evaluation

and resolution

in a timely manner commensurate

with their safety significance, and tracked to identify adverse trends and repetitive

issues. In addition, the inspectors

interviewed

plant staff and management

to determine

their understanding

of, and involvement

with, the CAP. The inspectors

reviewed CRs selected across the seven cornerstones

of safety in the NRC's Reactor Oversight

Process (ROP) to determine

if site personnel

properly identified, characterized, and entered problems into the CAP for evaluation

and resolution.

The inspectors

selected items from functional

areas that included physical security, emergency

preparedness, engineering, maintenance, operations, and radiation

safety to ensure that FENOC appropriately

addressed

problems identified

in these functional

areas. The inspectors

selected a risk-informed

sample of CRs that had been issued since the last NRC Problem Identification

and Resolution (PI&R) inspection

conducted

in April 2007. Insights from the station's

risk analyses were considered

to focus the sample selection

and plant walkdowns

on risk-significant

systems and components.

The corrective

action review was expanded to five years for evaluation

of identified

concerns within CRs relative to radiation

monitors.

The inspectors

selected items from various processes

at Beaver Valley to verify that they were appropriately

considered

for entry into the CAP. Specifically, the inspectors

reviewed a sample of Maintenance

Rule functional

failure evaluations, operability

determinations, system health reports, work orders (WOs), and issues entered into the Employee Concerns Program (ECP). The inspectors

inspected

plant areas including

the turbine buildings, safeguards

buildings, intake structure, emergency

diesel generator

buildings, yard areas, security areas, and control room. Enclosure

The inspectors

reviewed CRs to assess whether FENOC personnel

adequately

evaluated

and prioritized

issues. The CRs reviewed encompassed

the full range of evaluations, including

root cause analyses, full apparent cause evaluations, limited apparent cause analyses, and common cause analyses.

A sample of CRs that were assigned lower levels of significance

which did not include formal cause evaluations (AF and AC significance

levels) were also reviewed by the inspectors

to ensure they were appropriately

classified.

The inspectors'

review included the appropriateness

of the assigned significance, the scope and depth of the analysis, and the timeliness

of resolution.

The inspectors

assessed whether the evaluations

identified

likely causes for the issues and identified

appropriate

corrective

actions to address the identified

causes. As part of this review, the inspectors

interviewed

various station personnel

to fully understand

details within the evaluations

and the proposed and completed

corrective

actions. The inspectors

observed management

review board (MRB) meetings in which FENOC personnel

reviewed new CRs for prioritization

and assignment.

Further, the inspectors

reviewed equipment

operability

determinations

and extent-of-condition

reviews for selected CRs to verify these specific reviews adequately

addressed

equipment

operability

and the extent of problems.

The inspectors'

review of CRs also focused on the associated

corrective

actions in order to determine

whether the actions addressed

the identified

causes of the problems.

The inspectors

reviewed CRs for adverse trends and repetitive

problems to determine

whether corrective

actions were effective

in addressing

the broader issues. The inspectors

reviewed FENOC's timeliness

in implementing.

corrective

actions and effectiveness

in precluding

recurrence

for significant

conditions

adverse to quality. Lastly, the inspectors

reviewed CRs associated

with NRC non-cited

violations (NCV) and findings since the last PI&R inspection

to determine

whether FENOC personnel

properly evaluated

and resolved the issues. Specific documents

reviewed during the inspection

are listed in the Attachment

to this report. b. Assessment

Effectiveness

of Problem Identification

Based on the selected samples reviewed, plant walkdowns, and interviews

of site personnel, the inspectors

determined

that, in general, FENOC personnel

identified

problems and entered them into the CAP at a low threshold.

For the issues reviewed, the inspectors

noted that problems or concerns had been appropriately

documented

in enough detail to understand

the issues. Approximately

19,000 CRs had been written by FENOC personnel

since January 2007. The inspectors

noted that the Security department

had generated

significantly

less CRs when compared to the rest of the site. Interviews

with Security personnel

revealed that they had received adequate training, displayed

a willingness

to raise issues, and had ample access to computers;

however, there was a reliance on the shift Captain to enter issues into the CAP. The inspectors

observed managers and supervisors

at MRB meetings appropriately

questioning

and challenging

CRs to ensure clarity of the issues. The inspectors

determined

that FENOC personnel

trended equipment

and programmatic

issues, and CR descriptions

appropriately

included reference

to repeat occurrences

of issues. The Enclosure

inspectors

concluded

that personnel

were identifying

trends at low levels. The inspectors

toured plant areas including

the turbine buildings, safeguards

buildings, intake structure, emergency

diesel generator

buildings, yard areas, security areas and control room to determine

if FENOC personnel

identified

plant issues at the proper threshold.

Housekeeping

in all areas, with the exception

of the Unit 2 intake structure, was noted to be improved since the 2007 NRC PI&R inspection.

During the plant walkdown, the inspectors

identified

three examples of adverse conditions

that had not been identified

by FENOC. The following

issues were entered into the CAP for evaluation

and resolution: During an inspection

of the east end of the main intake structure, the inspectors

identified

an oxygen bottle strapped to an Appendix R ladder (a ladder used by plant personnel

for implementing the

site fire protection

program).

Restraining

the oxygen bottle and Appendix R ladder together in this fashion represented

a minor procedure

violation

of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-PIP-G01, "Securing

Transient/Temporary/Stored

Equipment

in Safety-Related

Areas." This issue is minor because there was no adverse impact to plant safety equipment, and there was only minimal impact on operator fire response times. FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63536). During an inspection

of the 'D' intake structure

cubicle, the inspectors

identified

rigging scaffolding

with a chainfall

that had been left draped over a safety related component.

Scaffold contacting

plant equipment

represented

a minor procedure

violation

of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-ADM-0810, "Scaffold

Erection and Tagging." The component

was not damaged nor had any reduced capability

as a result of the contact with the chainfall.

This issue is minor because there was no loss of operability

or adverse impact to the safety related component.

FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63532). During an inspection

of the Unit 2 Safeguards

Building, the inspectors

identified

four plastic buckets filled with lubricating

oil totaling 20 gallons. The unattended

oil in a safety related fire area represented

a minor procedure

violation

of Beaver Valley procedure, 1/2-ADM-1906, "Control of Transient

Combustible

and Flammable

Materials." This issue is minor because the increase in combustible

loading in the room as a result of the unattended

oil did not violate the plant fire hazard analysis.

FENOC entered this into the CAP (CR 09-63441).

In accordance

with NRC Inspection

Manual Chapter 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection

Reports," the above issues constitute

violations

of minor significance

that are not subject to enforcement

action in accordance

with the NRC's Enforcement

Policy. Effectiveness

of Prioritization

and Evaluation

of Issues The inspectors

determined

that, in general, FENOC personnel

appropriately

prioritized

and evaluated

issues commensurate

with their safety significance.

CRs were screened for operability

and reportability, categorized

by significance, and assigned to a department

for evaluation

and resolution.

The CR screening

process considered

human performance

issues, radiological

safety concerns, repetitiveness

and adverse trends. The inspectors

observed managers and supervisors

at MRB meetings appropriately

questioning

and challenging

CRs to ensure appropriate

prioritization.

Enclosure

CRs were categorized

for evaluation

and resolution

commensurate

with the significance

of the issues. Based on the sample of CRs reviewed, the guidance provided by the FENOC implementing procedures appeared

sufficient

to ensure consistency

in categorization

of the issues. Operability

and reportability

determinations

were performed

when conditions

warranted

and the evaluations

supported

the conclusions.

Causal analyses appropriately

considered

extent of condition, generic issues, and previous occurrences.

During this inspection, the inspectors

noted that, in general, FENOC's root cause analyses were thorough, and corrective

and preventive

actions addressed

the identified

causes. Additionally, the identified

causes were well supported.

An NCV was identified

for FENOC's failure to demonstrate

that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

of the containment

isolation

valve limit switches was effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventive

maintenance.

This NCV is discussed

in the findings section of this assessment

area. The inspectors

identified

the following

two examples of issues that were not fully evaluated

or prioritized

for corrective

action: A root cause evaluation (CR 08-39835)

associated

with a 2.5 inch drain down of the Unit 2 reactor coolant system during refueling

outage 2R13 did not identify all corrective

actions necessary

to address all failed barriers.

The inspectors

noted that the root cause evaluation

had not included corrective

actions to address the communication

failure within operations

shifts, and the work management

scheduling

issues which contributed

to a component

tagoutlctearance

being inappropriately

implemented.

The issue is minor because while corrective

actions were not assigned to address all failed barriers, FENOC had discussed

communication

expectations

with each operating

crew and there have not been any repeat issues. FENOC entered these issues into the CAP (CR 09-63454 and 09-63479). The inspectors

identified

three CRs describing

component

mispositioning

events (CR 09-59541, CR 09-58355, and CR 09-57224)

that were prioritized

as CR level OlAF." The failure to prioritize

these CRs as a limited apparent cause (CR level "AL") represented

a minor procedure

violation

of Beaver Valley procedure, OP-0004, "Component

Mispositioning." The inspectors

reviewed NRC Inspection

Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," and determined

this issue was minor because there

was no loss of operability

or safety impact. FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64004 and CR 09-63975).

In accordance

with NRC Inspection

Manual Chapter 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection

Reports," these issues constitute

violations

of minor significance

that are not subject to enforcement

action in accordance

with the NRC's Enforcement

Policy. Effectiveness

of Corrective

Actions The inspectors

concluded

that corrective

actions for identified

deficiencies

were generally

timely and adequately

implemented.

For significant

conditions

adverse to quality, corrective

actions were identified

to prevent recurrence.

The inspectors

concluded

that corrective

actions to address NCVs and findings since the last PI&R inspection

were timely and effective.

The inspectors

identified

the following

example where corrective

actions were not fully effective

in addressing

an issue: Enclosure

The inspectors

reviewed corrective

actions taken in response to an NCV documented

in NRC report 05000334/05000412

2007004. CR 07-24074 was written to ensure bearing temperatures

would be monitored

when performing

surveillance

testing on the turbine driven auxiliary

feedpumps (TDAFWP).

The inspectors

found that the comprehensive

surveillance

tests for Unit 1 and Unit 2 (Beaver Valley procedures

10ST-24.9

and 20ST-24.4A, respectively)

did not have a precaution

stating that this surveillance

was not suitable to be used for post maintenance

testing as there is no guidance prescribed

to monitor and achieve steady bearing temperatures.

The inspectors

determined

that the issue was minor because the preventive

maintenance

work order had contained

the appropriate

guidance.

FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-64015).

c. Findings Introduction:

The inspectors

identified

an NCV of very low safety significance (Green) of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2), "Requirements

for Monitoring

the Effectiveness

of Maintenance

at Nuclear Power Plants," due to FENOC personnel's

failure to demonstrate

that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

of the containment

isolation

valve limit switches was effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventive

maintenance.

Specifically, as evidenced

by repeat dual position indications

of containment

isolation

valves in the control room resulting

in 21 unplanned entries into

Technical

Specification

3.6.3, the containment

isolation

valve system 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

demonstration

was no longer justified

in accordance

with Maintenance

Rule implementing

procedure

guidance.

Description:

The containment

isolation

valve system is a risk-significant

system that is scoped within the Maintenance

Rule because it is a system, structure, or component (SSC) required to mitigate accidents/transients

and is identified

in emergency

operating

procedures.

The primary Maintenance

Rule function of the containment

isolation

valve system is to provide a containment

isolation

function during an event to prevent offsite radiological

release. Additionally, limit switches associated

with each containment

isolation

valve are scoped within the Maintenance

Rule because they provide a function to indicate valve position

in the control room for operators

to use during emergency

operating

procedures.

In February 2009, during stroke-time

testing, an air-operated

containment

isolation

valve displayed

dual indication

in the control room, causing the stroke times of the valve to be indeterminate

and causing an unplanned

entry into Technical

Specification

3.6.3. Additionally, between January 2007 and July 2009, Technical

Specification

3.6.3 had 21 unplanned

entries as a result of faulty limit switches on similar containment

isolation

valves. This resulted in the FENOC established

containment

isolation

valve system Maintenance

Rule condition

monitoring

criteria being exceeded, which required FENOC to perform a Maintenance

Rule 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

evaluation.

The Maintenance

Rule (a)(1) evaluation

was completed

in February 2009 and concluded

that the containment

isolation

valve system should continue to be monitored

in accordance

with Maintenance

Rule 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)., This reinforced

a similar decision made in 2007 based on a Maintenance

Rule (a)(1) evaluation

recommendation

to keep the system in (a)(2) despite Enclosure

the condition

monitoring

criteria being exceeded due to multiple dual indications

in the control room. The basis of the decision was that the dual indication

issue was a result of faulty limit switches, and that this did not affect the valve's safety related function to close during an event to prevent offsite radiological

release. Site personnel

determined

the direct cause was the limit switch being out of adjustment

due to a problem with the required torque. Despite the repeat failures, FENOC failed to implement

or revise preventive

maintenance

practices

for these limit switches.

Subsequently, the Maintenance

Rule Steering Committee

approved a revision to clarify the monitoring

criteria for the containment

isolation

valve system, which would exclude future indication

problems that did not affect the valve's ability to isolate containment.

However, it failed to take into account the limit switches'

Maintenance

Rule function in emergency

operating

procedures, specifically, the ability to accurately

indicate valve position in the control room during an event. Following

the change to the condition

monitoring

criteria, the site had seven valves display dual indication

in the control room between February 2009 and June 2009 that FENOC concluded

did not affect valve operability.

The inspectors

concluded

that the numerous dual indications

of the limit switches should have been evaluated

against FENOC's Maintenance

Rule condition

monitoring

criteria and should have resulted in placement

of the containment

isolation

valve system in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

for goal setting and monitoring.

FENOC performed

an extent of condition

review on two other valves of the same model, and determined

that the torque on the limit switch fasteners

needed to be adjusted.

FENOC corrected

the torque issue and has implemented

plans to install a button tab on the limit switches to minimize misalignment

causing dual indications.

Analysis:

The inspectors

determined

that the failure to demonstrate

that the 10 CFR 50.65{a)(2)

performance

of the containment

isolation

valve limit switches was effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventive

maintenance

was a performance

deficiency

within FENOC personnel's

ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented.

Traditional

Enforcement

did not apply, as the issue did not have actual or potential

safety consequence, had no willful aspects, nor did it impact the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory

function.

A review of NRC Inspection

Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, "Minor Examples," revealed that no minor examples were applicable

to this finding. The inspectors

determined

the finding was more than minor because it is associated

with the Equipment

Performance

attribute

of the Mitigating

Systems cornerstone

and adversely

affected the cornerstone

objective

of ensuring the reliability

of systems that respond to initiating

events to prevent undesirable

consequences.

Specifically, the dual indication

of containment

isolation

valves in the control room due to faulty limit switches presents a challenge

to the operators

during event response while implementing

emergency

operating

procedures, and has resulted in 21 unplanned

Technical

Specification

entries. The numerous dual indication

instances

should have caused the containment

isolation

valve system to be placed in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

for goal setting and monitoring.

The inspectors

determined

the significance

of the finding using IMC 0609.04, "Phase 1 Initial Screening

and Characterization

of Findings." The finding was determined

to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve a design or qualification

deficiency

resulting

in loss of operability

or functionality, did not result in a loss of system Enclosure

safety function, and did not screen as potentially

risk significant

due to external initiating

events. The inspectors

determined

that this finding had a cross-cutting

aspect in the "Corrective

Action Program" component

of the Problem Identification

and Resolution

cross-cutting

area because FENOC did not take appropriate

corrective

actions to address safety issues and adverse trends associated

with faulty containment

isolation

valve limit switches in a timely manner, commensurate

with their safety

significance

and complexity

[P.1 (d)). Enforcement:

10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

requires, in part, that holders of an operating

license shall monitor the performance

or condition

of SSCs within the scope of the monitoring

program as defined in 10 CFR 50.65(b) against licensee-established

goals, in a manner sufficient

to provide reasonable

assurance

that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling

their intended functions.

10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

states, in part, that monitoring

as specified

in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1)

is not required where it has been demonstrated

that the performance

or condition

of an SSC is being effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventative

maintenance, such that the SSC remains capable of performing

its intended function.

Contrary to the above, between 2007 and 2009, FENOC personnel

failed to demonstrate

that the 10 CFR 50.65(a)(2)

performance

of the containment

isolation

valve limit switches was effectively

controlled

through the performance

of appropriate

preventive

maintenance.

FENOC has performed

an extent of condition

review and has initiated

corrective

actions to install a button tab on the limit switches to minimize misalignment

causing the dual indications.

Because this violation

was of very low safety significance

and has been entered into the CAP (CR 09-64040), this violation

is being treated as an NCV, consistent

with the NRC Enforcement

Policy (NCV 05000314,412/2009008-01:

Containment

Isolation

Valve System 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(2) Performance

Demonstration

Not Met) . . 2 Assessment

of the Use of Operating

Experience

a. Inspection

Scope The inspectors

selected a sample of CRs associated

with the review of industry Operating

Experience (OE) to determine

whether FENOC personnel

appropriately

evaluated

the OE information

for applicability

to Beaver Valley and had taken appropriate

actions, when warranted.

The inspectors

reviewed CR evaluations

of OE documents

associated

with a sample of NRC Generic Letters and Information

Notices to ensure that FENOC adequately

considered

the underlying

problems associated

with the issues for resolution

via their CAP. The inspectors

also observed plant activities

to determine

if industry OE was considered

during the performance

of routine activities.

Specific documents

reviewed during the inspection

are listed in the Attachment

to this report. b. Assessment

The inspectors

determined

that, in general, FENOC appropriately

considered

industry OE information

for applicability, and used the information

for corrective

and preventive

actions Enclosure

to identify and prevent similar issues when appropriate.

The inspectors

determined

that OE was appropriately

applied and lessons learned were communicated

and incorporated

into plant operations.

The inspectors

observed that industry OE was routinely

discussed

and considered

during the performance

of plant activities.

The inspectors

reviewed a fleet-level

focused self-assessment

of OE performed

in May 2008. The self-assessment

identified

a number of weaknesses, specifically: OE was not discussed

in system health reports; Roles and responsibilities

of Section OE Coordinators

were not clearly defined; Familiarization

with SAP, the database used to manage OE, was low at the Management

and Section OE Coordinator

levels; and Procedures

describing

the requirements

to process OE were in need of revision to add clarity. Although the inspectors

noted that corrective

actions were not completed

until June 2009, since that time Beaver Valley has made progress in addressing

OE program needs. This has included clearly defining the roles and responsibilities

of Section OE Coordinators.

Procedures

have been revised and a familiarization

guide has been completed

with guidance on how to use SAP efficiently.

Training has been completed

for Section OE Coordinators

and the backlog of unreviewed

OE items has decreased (currently

at 2 unreviewed

items as compared to over 12 items previously).

Finally, a higher level of accountability

has been placed on each department

to report backlogged

OE items at weekly plant meetings.

With respect to incorporating

OE in system health reports, the inspectors

identified

that OE continued

not to be incorporated

in the 2008 and 2009 reports. FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-63999).

c. Findings No findings of significance

were identified . . 3 Assessment

of Self-Assessments

and Audits a. Inspection

Scope The inspectors

reviewed a sample of snapshot self-assessments, focused assessments, fleet-level

assessments, and a variety of self-assessments

focused on various plant programs.

These reviews were performed

to determine

if problems identified

through these assessments

were entered into the CAP, and whether corrective

actions were initiated

to address identified

deficiencies.

The effectiveness

of the assessments

was evaluated

by comparing

audit and assessment

results against self-revealing

and NRC-identified

observations

made during the inspection.

A list of documents

reviewed is included in the Attachment

to this report. b. Assessment

The inspectors

concluded

that QA audits and self-assessments

were critical, thorough, and effective

in identifying

issues. The inspectors

observed that these audits and self-Enclosure

.4 12 assessments

were completed

by personnel

knowledgeable

in the subject areas and were completed

to a sufficient

depth to identify issues that were then entered into the CAP for evaluation.

Corrective

actions associated

with the issues were implemented

commensurate

with their safety significance.

FENOC managers evaluated

the results and initiated

appropriate

actions to focus on areas identified

for improvement.

c. Findings No findings of significance

were identified . Assessment

of Safety Conscious

Work Environment

a. Inspection

Scope The inspectors

performed

interviews

with station personnel

to assess the safety conscious

work environment (SCWE) at Beaver Valley. Specifically, the inspectors

interviewed

personnel

to determine

whether they were hesitant to raise safety concerns to their management

and/or the NRC. The inspectors

also interviewed

the station Employee Concerns Program (ECP) coordinator

to determine

what actions were implemented

to ensure employees

were aware of the program and its availability

with regard to raising concerns.

The inspectors

reviewed the ECP files to ensure that issues were entered into the CAP when appropriate.

The inspectors

reviewed site SCWE surveys from 2007 and 2008 to assess any adverse trends in department

and site safety culture. A list of documents

reviewed is included in the Attachment

to this report. b. Assessment

During interviews, plant staff expressed

a willingness

to use the CAP to identify plant issues and deficiencies, and stated that they were willing to raise safety issues. All persons interviewed

demonstrated

an adequate knowledge

of the CAP and ECP. Based on these limited interviews, the inspectors

concluded

that there was no evidence of SCWE concerns and no significant

challenges

to the free flow of information.

SCWE surveys in 2007 and 2008 showed that the overall SCWE health at Beaver Valley remained positive.

The surveys indicated

the staff understands

and accepts expectations

and responsibilities

for identifying

concerns.

The surveys indicated

FENOC personnel

feel free to approach management

with issues and management

expectations

on safety and quality are clearly communicated.

The surveys indicated

lower than average scores for Radiation

Protection, Chemistry, Security, and Site Projects departments.

CRs were generated

to help promote improvement

in the safety culture of these departments, and corrective

actions were implemented.

The inspectors

noted that when compared to the 2007 survey, the Operations

department

had an increase in negative responses

in the 2008 survey. This trend had not been entered into the CAP for evaluation

since the negative score averages did not exceed a ten percent cutoff "trigger" for CR generation.

The inspectors

questioned

this cutoff in that it appeared to potentially

limit FENOC's ability to fully explore year-to-year

trends in departments

that may not exceed ten percent negative responses, but decline significantly

from the previous survey_ FENOC entered this issue into the CAP (CR 09-63998).

Enclosure

As a result of the survey review, the inspectors

completed

additional

SCWE interviews

with operators

to determine

if there was a reluctance

to raise safety issues. No individuals

expressed

any fear to raise issues. Findings No findings of significance

were identified.

40A6 Meetings, Including

Exit On September

3, 2009, the inspectors

presented

the inspection

results to Mr. Roy Brosi, Director of Site Performance

Improvement, and other members of the Beaver Valley staff. The inspectors

verified that no proprietary

information

was documented

in the report. ATTACHMENT:
