SUMMARY

IR 05000 298/20 16 0 01; 01/01/20 16 - 03/31/20 16; Cooper Nuclear Station

Surveillance Testing

. The inspection activities described in this report were performed between January 1 and March 31, 2016 , by the resident inspectors at the Cooper Nuclear Station and inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office. Two findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. Both of these findings involved violations of NRC requirements. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, or Red), which is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas." Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.

The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG

-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process."

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," for the licensee's failure to follow the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants when addressing the performance of reactor equipment cooling pump A within the high "required action range" of the inservice testing program. Specifically, on February 11, 2016, the licensee failed to follow ASME Subsection ISTB 6200(b) when engineering personnel, taking corrective action to address pump performance, failed to either correct the cause of the deviation or establish new reference values for the pump. Instead of establishing new reference values, the licensee performed an analysis to administratively raise the upper "required action range" limit, creating a wider range of acceptable pump operation than allowed by Table ISTB-5100-1, "Centrifugal Pump Test Acceptance Criteria." The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR

-CNS-2016-00920, took action to reevaluate and rebaseline the pump with new reference values, and performed an extent of condition review to determine if other equipment was impacted by similar interpretations of the code.

The licensee's failure to establish new reference values for reactor equipment cooling pump A in accordance with the ASME Code was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the actions initially taken by the licensee would have required a relief request

could have delayed identification of a degrading pump trend due to t he creation of a wider range of acceptable operation; and the licensee's generic interpretation

, that the Table ISTB-5100-1 "acceptable range" could be administratively expanded , represented a programmatic vulnerability.

The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," and determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because it did not represent a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety function for a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identificatio n and resolution associated with evaluation. Specifically, the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate performance of reactor equipment cooling pump A in the "required action range" to ensure that the resolution correctly addressed the causes of the degraded performance

[P.2]. (Section 1R22)

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, for the licensee's failure to follow Station Procedure 0.26, "Surveillance Program," and assess the operability of high pressure coolant injection steam line isolation instrumentation during surveillance testing. Specifically, the licensee failed to assess the operability of required isolation instrumentation when maintentance personnel opened terminal box 392 during surveillance testing and temporarily invalidated its environmental qualification. Licensee procedures required operations personnel to either establish compensatory measure s to restore the terminal box during an event , or declare the instrumentation inoperable and enter the applicable technical specification actions when the terminal box was opened. As an immediate corrective action

, the licensee implement ed Standing Order 2016-03, which directed operators to establish compensatory measures, if applicable, or declare the affected equipment inoperable when environmentally qualified terminal boxes would be opened during testing. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution as Condition Reports CR

-CNS-2016-00320 and CR

-CNS-2016-00476. The licensee's failure to assess the operability of high pressure coolant injection instrumentation when the associated terminal box was opened during surveillance testing, in violation of Station Procedure 0.26, was a performance deficiency.

The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the structure, system, compo nent , and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the radiological barrier functionality of containment isolation. Specifically, with terminal box 392 open, its environmental qualification was temporarily invalidated, making the high pressure coolant injection low steam pressure and high steam flow containment isolation instrumentation inoperable during surveillance testing. In addition, two other terminal boxes and their associated surveillances were impacted by the performance deficiency. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," the inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because it: (1) did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment, containment isolation system, or heat removal components; and (2)did not involve an actual reduction in function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with work management. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority, including the identification and management of risk commensurate with opening terminal box 392 during surveillance testing

[H.5]. (Section 1R22)

PLANT STATUS

The Cooper Nuclear Station began the inspection period at full power. On February 12, 2016, the licensee lowered reactor power to approximately 70 percent in order to perform surveillance testing and planned work on reactor feedwater pump B. The plant returned to full power on February 13, 2016, where it remained for the rest of the reporting period, ex c e pt for minor reductions in power to support scheduled surveillance testing and rod pattern adjustments

b. Findings

(1) Failure to Follow ASME Code Requirements when taking Corrective Actions for a Pump in the Required Action Range Introduction

. The inspectors identified a Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," for the licensee's failure to follow the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM) when addressing the performance of reactor equipment cooling (REC) pump A within the high "required action range" of the inservice testing program. Specifically, the licensee failed to follow ASME Subsection ISTB-6200(b) when engineering personnel, while taking corrective action to address pump performance, failed to either correct the cause of the deviation or establish new reference values for the pump.

Description

. On February 11, 2016, the licensee performed Surveillance Procedure 6.1REC.101, "REC Surveillance Operation (IST)

- Div 1," for the two

-year comprehensive inservice test (IST) of REC pump A. This procedure was being used to meet the IST requirements for the pump in accordance with the 2001 Edition through the 200 3 Addenda of the ASME OM Code. During the IST, the pump exceeded the upper limit for discharge pressure required by the test, which put the pump in the high "required action range" in accordance with the ASME Code. Consistent with the surveillance procedure and ASME OM Subsection IST B-6200(b), the licensee declared the pump inoperable upon discovery of the condition. The licensee initiated condition report CR-CNS-2016-00784 to document the unacceptable inservice test results for REC pump A. ASME Section ISTB

-6200, "Corrective Action," Subsection (b), states, "If the measured test parameter values fall within the "required action range" of Table ISTB

-5100-1, the pump shall be declared inoperable until either the cause of the deviation has been determined and the condition is corrected, or an analysis of the pump is performed and new reference values are established in accordance with ISTB

-6200(c)." The licensee determined that the pump was operating acceptably, and as a result, determined that there was no need to correct the cause of the deviation in pump performance. However, the licensee did not establish new reference values, which serve to provide a baseline of acceptable pump performance, in accordance with ISTB

-6200(c). Instead, engineering personnel performed an analysis which assessed the operational readiness of the pump and evaluated pump performance trends as discussed in ISTB

-6200(c), but rather than rebaseline the pump, the licensee administratively raised the upper "required action" limit. Following this action, operations personnel declared REC pump A operable.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's actions and challenged the site's decision to neither correct nor rebaseline the pump in accordance with Subsection ISTB

-6200(b). The inspectors observed that the licensee's actions to raise the upper "required action" limit inappropriately created a wider range of acceptable pump operation than allowed by ASME Table ISTB

-5100-1, "Centrifugal Pump Test Acceptance Criteria." In consultation with NRC regional and headquarters ASME Code experts, the inspectors concluded that these actions put the site in nonconformance with the ASME Code. The inspectors observed that the licensee's change would have required an NRC relief request and could have delayed identification of a degrading pump trend due to the creation of a wider range of acceptable operation. In response to inspector questions, the licensee determined that they had used this same method for different equipment on previous occasions. The inspectors determin ed that the licensee's generic interpretation that Table ISTB

-5100-1 acceptance criteria multipliers could be changed using Subsection ISTB-6200 represented a potential programmatic vulnerability.

This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as CR

-CNS-201 6-00920, and the licensee subsequently took corrective action to establish new reference values for the pump

.

Analysis.

The licensee's failure to establish new reference values for REC pump A in accordance with the ASME OM code was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the actions initially taken by the licensee would have required a relief request

could have delayed identification of a degrading pump trend due to the creation of a wider range of acceptable operation; and the licensee's generic interpretation that the Table ISTB

-5100-1 "acceptable range" could be administratively expanded represented a programmatic vulnerability.

The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At

-Power," dated June 19, 2012, and determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because it did not represent a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of safety function for a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to a seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating event. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identificatio n and resolution associated with evaluation.

Specifically, the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate performance of REC pump A in the "required action range" to ensure that the resolution correctly addressed the causes of the degraded performance

[P.2]. Enforcement

. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.55a(b), "Codes and Standards," requires, in part, that systems and components of boiling and pressurized water cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the requirements of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants.

Contrary to the above, on February 11, 2016, the licensee failed to ensure that systems and components in the plant met the requirements of the ASME OM Code. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure ASME Subsection ISTB 6200(b) was met when engineering personnel, while taking corrective action to address REC pump A performance, failed to either correct the cause of the deviation or establish new reference values for the pump. Upon discovery, the licensee took action to reevaluate and rebaseline the pump with new reference values, and performed an extent of condition review to determine if other equipment was impacted by similar interpretations of the code. This violation is being treated as a non

-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy, because it was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report CR

-CNS-201 6-00920. (NCV 05000298/2016001

(2) Failure to Assess Operability of Technical Specification System Functions during Surveillance Testing

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a Green, non

-cited violation of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1.a, for the licensee's failure to follow Station Procedure 0.26, "Surveillance Program," and assess the operability of high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) steam line isolation instrumentation during surveillance testing. Specifically, the licensee failed to assess the operability of required HPCI isolation instrumentation when maintenance personnel opened terminal box (TB) 392 during surveillance testing and temporarily invalidated its environmental qualification.

Description.

On January 14, 2016, the inspectors observed surveillance testing for the Division 1 HPCI low steam pressure containment isolation function for HPCI

-MOV-15 in accordance with Station Procedure 6.1HPCI.701, "HPCI Steam Line Low Pressure Channel Functional Test (DIV 1)," Revision 5, under Work Order 5022860. During the surveillance test the inspectors identified that the licensee opened TB 392 to conduct the surveillance test

. This terminal box was identified as environmentally qualified (EQ). The inspectors questioned if TB 392 was EQ in the open condition during the surveillance test.

Following a review of documentation for the terminal box, the inspectors determined that TB 392 was only EQ in the closed condition in accordance with drawing CNS

-EQ-122, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2, "Cooper Nuclear Station EQ Configuration Detail Terminal Boxes and Equipment Enclosures," Revision 6 and Revision 5. Drawing CNS-EQ-122, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2, stated that the enclosure for TB 392 was credited with protecting terminal blocks from direct exposure to high

-energy line break (HELB) conditions and did not contain the field wires and Raychem splices that would allow the instrumentation to be EQ without an enclosure.

Station Procedure 0.26, "Surveillance Program," Revision 68 , Section 5 and Discussion Section 1.6 required the licensee to assess operability of TS system functions during surveillance testing

, and stated that delayed entry was only allowed if there was not a loss of function. Section 5 of this procedure stated, the "Shift Manager shall:

be aware of any other systems affected by the test and how they are affected

." Discussion Section 1.6 state d, "TS requirements may have notes that allow delayed entry into conditions and required actions for equipment made inoperable by performance of the surveillance. Even though delayed entry is allowed, the equipment/component is still considered inoperable while performing these surveillances. The delayed entry is only allowed if there is not a loss of function." Additionally, Station Procedure 0-Barrier, "Barrier Control Process," Revision 21, stated that opening terminal boxes in the reactor building required that either a compensatory measure be put in place or the SSC be declared inoperable.

The station did not implement a compensatory measure or declare instrumentation in the TB inoperable.

The inspectors and licensee concluded that the shift manager should have been aware of the impacts of opening the TB, and in accordance with procedures, should have declare d the TS system function inoperable for the HPCI low steam pressure and HPCI high steam fl ow isolation instrumentation when TB 392 was opened. Therefore, usage of the six hour delayed entry time for TS 3.3.6.1, "Primary Containment Isolation Instruments," was not allowed per Procedure 0.26 due to the instruments not being inoperable solely for surveillance testing.

As immediate corrective action s, the licensee identified additional TBs impacted by this concern, and implemented Standing Order 2016-03, which directed operators to either establish compensatory measures or declare the affected equipment inoperable when EQ TBs would be opened during testing. The licensee created long term corrective action s to assess whether compensatory measures could be justified for TBs opened during surveillance testing in the reactor building

, to assess whether open TBs could be qualified, and to update station procedures as required. The license entered this deficiency into their corrective action program for resolution as Condition Reports CR

-CNS-2016-00320 and CR-CNS-2016-00476.

Analysis.

The licensee's failure to assess the operability of HPCI isolation instrumentation when the associated terminal box was opened during surveillance testing, in violation of Station Procedure 0.26, was a performance deficiency.

The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the SSC and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the radiological barrier functionality of containment isolation. Specifically, with terminal box 392 open, its environmental qualification was temporarily invalidated, making the HPCI isolation instrumentation inoperable during surveillance testing. In addition, two other terminal boxes and their associated surveillances were impacted by the performance deficiency. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At

-Power," dated June 19, 2012, the inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because it: (1)did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment, containment isolation system, or heat removal components; and

(2) did not involve an actual reduction in function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment. The finding had a cross

-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with work management. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety was the overriding priority, including the identification and management of risk commensurate with opening terminal box 392 during surveillance testing [H.5].

Enforcement.

Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements," of February 1978. Section 1.f of Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires specific procedures for scheduling surveillance tests and calibration. The licensee established Station Procedure 0.26, "Surveillance Program," Revision 68, to schedule and control surveillance testing. Section 5 of Station Procedure 0.26 states, the "Shift Manager shall:

be aware of any other systems affected by the test and how they are affected." Contrary to the above, on January 14 , 2016, the licensee failed to ensure that the shift manager was aware of any other systems affected by the test and how they were affected during HPCI isolation surveillance testing.

Specifically, the licensee failed to assess the operability of all affected containment isolation instrumentation when maintenance personnel opened TB 392 during surveillance testing and temporarily invalidated its environmental qualification.

As immediate corrective action s , the licensee identified additional TBs impacted by the performance deficiency, and implemented Standing Order 2016-03, which directed operators to either establish compensatory measures or declare the affected equipment inoperable when environmentally qualified TB would be opened during testing.

This violation is being treated as a non

-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy, because it was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Condition Report s CR-CNS-201 6-0320 and CR-CNS-2016-00476. (NCV 05000298/2016001

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstones:

Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety 2 RS 2 Occupational ALARA Planning and Controls (71124.02)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors assessed licensee performance with respect to maintaining individual and collective radiation exposures as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). The inspectors performed this portion of the attachment as a post

-outage review. During the inspection the inspectors interviewed licensee personnel, reviewed licensee documents, and evaluated licensee performance in the following areas:

Radiological work planning, including work activities of exposure significance, and radiological work planning ALARA evaluations, initial and revised exposure estimates, and exposure mitigation requirements.

The inspectors also verified that the licensee's planning identified appropriate dose reduction techniques, reviewed any inconsiste n cies between intended and actual work activity doses, and determined if post

-job (work activity) reviews were conducted to identify lessons learned. Specific work plans reviewed included refuel floor activities for the refuel bridge upgrades and radwaste processing for High

-Integrity Container (HIC) preparations for shipping.

Verification of dose estimates and exposure tracking systems including the basis for exposure estimates, and measures to track, trend, and if necessary reduce occupational doses for ongoing work activities. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's method for adjusting exposure estimates and reviewed the licensee's evaluations of inconsistent or incongruent results from the licensee's intended radiological outcomes.

.2 Annual Follow

-up of Selected Issues

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors selected two issues for an in-depth follow

-up: On January 6, 2016, the inspectors reviewed entries in the control room log from the previous night shift, which discussed the identification of leakage into the scram discharge volume (SDV). Operations personnel had isolated the SDV in advance of performing planned maintenance on the system

, in order to quantify any potential leakage into the SDV, if it existed. During this activity, operators determined that there was no leakage into the North SDV, but the South SDV indicated leakage accumulating at a rate of 5.2 inches per hour. The inspectors noted that this was an indication of scram outlet valve leakage, and also observed that no condition report (CR) was written for the leakage that was discovered.

In response to inspector questions, operations personnel took action to initiate a CR (CR

-CNS-2016-00075) and assess operability. The inspectors noted that the site had failed to meet the requirements of Step 5.3.6.3 of Procedure 0-CNS-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process," which required, in part, that individuals ensure the condition was promptly documented on a Condition Report, by no later than the end of their shift.

In subsequent follow

-up with the licensee, the inspectors learned that the CR had been considered a non

-adverse condition, and as a result, CR generation had not been required.

The CR had been classified as a D

-trend non-adverse condition and closed. After further review, the inspectors determined that the condition met the licensee and NRC definition of a condition adverse to quality because the issue was a condition of an SSC, including failures and deficiencies, that could potentially render the SSC degraded or inoperable. Specifically, as discussed in GE SIL 173, "a leaking scram

[outlet] valve is of concern as the control rod drive (CRD) runs hot due to reactor water passing down through the drive and out the line to the scram discharge volume, and will continue to run hotter as the scram valve seat continues to erode. Eventually this could interfere with normal drive movement." In addition, the inspectors determined that scram outlet valve leakage into the SDV could result in high SDV water levels and undesirable scram signals if isolated, and could result in CRD drift if the leakage

bec ame excessive.

The inspectors determined that this issue represented a minor violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," which requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Licensee procedure 0-CNS-LI-102, "Corrective Action Process

," an Appendix B quality related procedure, provides instructions for identifying and classifying conditions adverse to quality. Procedure 0-CNS-LI-102, Attachment 1, states in part, that "adverse conditions are required to be corrected in the Corrective Action Program (CAP) and are subject to the rigor necessary to evaluate and thoroughly resolve important and significant issues." Contrary to the above, between January 6, 2016, and March 17, 2016, the licensee failed to assure that an adverse condition was corrected in the CAP and was subject to the rigor necessary to evaluate and thoroughly resolve important and significant issues. Specifically, the licensee initially failed to generate a condition report for indicated scram outlet valve leakage, and subsequently failed to classify the CR as a condition adverse to quality to ensure the deficiency would be resolved in the CAP. Instead, the CR was classified as D

-Trend, which denotes a non

-adverse condition that is handled outside of the CAP. The issue was minor in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0612 Appendix B due to the minimal quantity of leakage identified and because other programmatic opportunities existed to identify the condition prior to significant plant impacts. Although this issue should be corrected, it constitutes a violation of minor significance that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with Section 2 of the Enforcement Policy. The issue was entered into the licensee's CAP as CR-CNS-2016-01485. Licensee investigation revealed one CRD with slightly elevated temperatures, and the licensee generated a work order to repair the associated scram outlet valve.

The inspectors assessed the licensee's problem identification threshold and corrective actions to address the issue. The inspectors verified that the licensee appropriately prioritized the planned corrective actions and that these actions were adequate to correct the condition

.

On January 11, 2016, the licensee identified that the Division 1 emergency diesel generator (EDG) was slow to start during a monthly surveillance test. Specifically, the EDG achieved rated voltage and frequency in 14.2 seconds, which exceeded the surveillance requirement limit of 14 seconds. The delayed start was linked to a degraded shuttle valve in the non

-safety portion of the air start system, which is normally bypassed during an emergency EDG start. The licensee determined that the apparent cause of the degradation was inadequate manufacturer controls of the component.

The inspectors assessed the licensee's problem identification threshold, cause analyses, and extent of condition reviews. The inspectors verified that the licensee appropriately prioritized the corrective actions and that these actions were adequate to correct the condition. These activities constitute d completion of two annual follow

-up samples as defined i n Inspection Procedure 71152.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA 5 Other Activities (Closed) Notice of Violation 05000298/2015007

-04, Failure to Evaluate the Lack of Missile Protection on the Emergency Diesel Generator 1 and 2 Fuel Oil Storage Tank Vents, EA-15-089 During the Component Design Basis Inspection conducted on April 6 through May 8, 2015, a violation of NRC regulations was identified and documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000298/2015007 (ML15173A450). The NRC had determined that a cited violation was associated with th e inspection.

The violation was cited because Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) failed to restore compliance with NRC requirements within a reasonable amount of time after a previous violation was identified in NRC Inspection Report 05000298/2010007 (ML103370640

). In 2015, the team identified a Green, cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," which states, in part, "Design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program." Specifically, the licensee failed to verify the adequacy of design of the vents for the emergency diesel generator (EDG) 1 and 2 fuel oil storage tanks to withstand impact from a tornado driven missile hazard, or to evaluate for exemption from missile protection requirements using an approved methodology.

The Notice of Violation (NOV) issued with the Inspection Report on June 22, 2015, required Cooper Nuclear Station to submit a written statement to the NRC within 30 days. The reply was required to contain the corrective steps taken to ensure full compliance was achieved. Cooper Nuclear Station submitted the response to the NRC on July 22, 2015 (ML15215A369). The corrective steps taken by the licensee included:

(1) incorporating a compilation of CNS and industry documentation into an engineering report to substantiate the conclusions of the design basis documents that evaluated the EDG fuel oil storage tank vents' ability to perform their design function following a design basis missile strike;

(2) removing the cap on the storage tank fill opening and installing a screen to ensure operability per the associated work order;

(3) reinforcing with engineers qualified to prepare or review calculations, the need to explicitly and literally state the technical issues when performing calculations; (4)incorporating lessons learned from the apparent cause evaluation as part of the Technical Rigor topic during engineering continuing training; and

(5) revising NEDC 13-046, Revision 1, to directly address all four tornado impact scenarios as described in Section XII, 2.3.3.2 of the CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report. The NRC responded in a letter to Cooper Nuclear Station's response on August 11, 2015 (ML15224B562). The letter stated that the NRC would inform the licensee if further inspection was warranted. The inspector reviewed the licensee's corrective actions associated with the violation. Specifically, the inspector reviewed Engineering Change EC-EE 15-012, "Diesel Generator Diesel Oil Tank Vents Torn ado Missile Analysis," Revision 1 , and Calculation NEDC 13-046, "Diesel Generator Storage Vent Line Tornado Missile Durability," Revision 2. Based on this review, the inspector concluded that the licensee had performed adequate corrective actions to restore compliance, address extent of condition, and prevent recurrence. No additional deficiencies were identified during the review of this Notice of Violation.
