SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
lR 0500033412011002,lR 0500041212011002;0110112011 - 0313112011; Beaver Valley Power
Station, Units 1 & 2; Outage Activities and Problem ldentification and Resolution.
The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors, regional reactor inspectors, and a regional health physics inspector. Two (Green) findings were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using fnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. Cross-cutting aspects associated with findings are determined using IMC 0310, "Components Within The Cross-Cutting Areas," dated February 2010. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
.
- Green.
A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 5.4.1, "Procedures", was identified in that technicians inadvertently caused an auxiliary feedwater actuation when the plant was shutdown for refueling. Specifically, the procedure used to inject simulated steam generator water signals was inadequate, which resulted in the technicians erroneously inserting two-of-three (213) Low-Low level signals to the SGs and causing actuation of auxiliary feedwater. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program under CR 1 1-90528.
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to example 4.b in IMC 0612, Appendix E.
The inspectors performed a Phase 1 SDP evaluation in accordance with IMC 0609,
Appendix GProperty "Inspection Manual Chapter" (as page type) with input value "NRC Inspection Manual 0609,</br></br>Appendix G" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process., Attachment 1, Checklist 2 "PWR Cold Shutdown Operation: RCS Closed and SGs Available for DHR (Loops Filled and Inventory in Pressurizer) Time to Boiling Less than 2 Hours." There was no loss of control, and all mitigating capabilities were available, therefore a Phase 2 quantitative assessment was not required and the issue screened to Green (very low safety significance).
The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Control, in that FENOC personnel did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address the need to communicate, coordinate and cooperate with each other during activities in which interdepartmental coordination is necessary to assure plant and human performance.[H.3.(b)] (Section 1R20)r
- Green.
A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 5.4.1, "Procedures", was identified in that chemistry procedures failed to provide adequate detail to ensure timely completion of TS required sampling of the spray additive system. Specifically, FENOC failed to complete timely sampling and analysis of the chemical addition tank, resulting in reasonable doubt of the operability of the spray additive system tor 13 days. The issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program under CR 10-87438.
Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to example 3.j in IMC 0612, Appendix E and it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affects the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
In accordance with IMC 0609.04 (Table 4a), Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a design or qualification deficiency which resulted in a loss of safety function.
The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, in that FENOC personnel did not implement a corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues. FENOC did not identify the issue completely, accurately and in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance. [P. 1 .(a)] (Section 4OA2)

The inspectors reviewed certifications of several technicians performing non-destructive examinations and verified that the examinations were performed in accordance with approved procedures and inspection records appropriately evaluated by certified Level lll NDE personnel.
There were no samples available for review during this inspection that involved examinations with recordable indications that have been accepted for continued service from the previous Unit 2 outage 2R14 through 2R15 outage.
Unit 2 Reactor Pressure Vessel Upper Closure Head Penetration lnspection Activities The inspectors directly observed portions of the remote bare metal visual inspection of the Unit 2 RPV upper closure penetration nozzles to head penetrations with alloy 6001821182 material and reviewed portions of the visual examination video recording to confirm appropriate coverage was achieved and verified that no boric acid leakage or wastage had been observed on the RPV upper closure head surface to verify that the visual inspection was conducted in accordance with in accordance with10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6xiiXD) associated with ASME Code Case N-729-1.
The inspectors remotely observed a sample of automated UT examinations of RPV upper head CRDM #65 nozzle penetration and a sample of the PT examinations performed on the inside diameter surface of the reactor vessel head for all six previously repaired penetrations. During PT examinations of penetration #56, indications were identified with the weld overlay that required a repair during 2R15. The inspectors remotely observed a portion of the manualweld repair to the weld overlay of Unit 2 RPV upper closure head penetration nozzle #56 that had previously been repaired by a weld overlay during 2R13 in 2006. During this weld repair process the inspectors also participated in FENOC's conference call with NRR on March 22,2011 to discuss the indications found during PT of penetration #56 and proposed repair activities.
Repair/Replacement Consistino of Weldino Activities The inspectors directly observed and reviewed the weld repair to weld overlay of Unit 2 RPV upper closure head penetration nozzle #56 during 2R15 to verify the welding and applicable NDE activities were performed in accordance with ASME Section lll, V, and Xl Code requirements.
Unit 2 Reactor Pressure Vessel Lower Head Penetration Nozzle Inspection Activities The inspectors verified the bare metal visual inspection results were acceptable of the alloy 600 BMI exams of the Unit 2 RPV lower head instrument nozzle penetration welds conducted by licensee personnel per procedure NDE-W-513 during 2R15 by reviewing visual examination photographs and W-2 leakage record VT-11-1046 of the BMI inspection. The inspectors verified no leakage was identified at any of the penetrations.
Boric Acid Corrosion Control (BACC) Inspection Activities The inspectors reviewed Beaver Valley's boric acid corrosion control program and discussed the program with the program owner, and sampled condition reports and photographic inspection records of boric acid deposits on safety significant piping and components inside the Unit 2 containment during walkdowns conducted by FENOC personnel that was observed by the NRC resident inspectors during initial containment entry walkdowns conducted on March 7 , 2011 during 2R15. The inspectors observed the licensee's identification and documentation of boric acid leaks with emphasis on areas that could cause degradation of safety significant components.
The inspectors verified that potential deficiencies identified during the boric acid walkdowns were appropriately entered into the corrective action program and reviewed condition reports CR 11-91146, 2RCS-P21A pump seal and CR 11-90555, 2CHS-MOV201 excess letdown heat exchanger inlet valve to verify that the corrective actions were consistent with the requirements of station procedures, ASME Section Xl, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl. The inspector also reviewed engineering evaluations for CR 11-90519, 2RCS-PCV456 pressurizer PORV, and CR 11-91146, 2RCS-P21A pump seal to verify that equipment or components that were wetted or impinged by boric acid solutions were properly analyzed for degradation that might impact their associated design basis functions.
Steam Generator (SG) Tube Inspection Activities The inspectors reviewed the Unit 2 SG eddy current testing (ECT) tube examinations, and applicable procedures for monitoring degradation of SG tubes to verify that the SG examination activities were performed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SG examination program, Beaver Valley Unit 2 SG examination guidelines, Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50, TSs for Unit 2, Nuclear Energy lnstitute (NEl) 97-06, EPRI PWR SG examination guidelines, and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Sections V and Xl. The review also included the Beaver Valley Unit 2 SG degradation assessment report (SG-SGMP-11-4) and Cycle 15 SG operational assessment (SG-SGMP-10-5) for 2R15 outage. ECT of one hundred percent of the in-service tubes in the three SGs were examined during the 2R15 refueling outage.
The inspectors reviewed plant specific SG information, tube inspection criteria, integrity assessments, degradation modes, tube sleeving license amendment, and tube plugging criteria. The inspectors discussed the in-process ECT inspection activities with the data management and the data acquisition personnel and the resolution analysts and observed a sample of the SG tubes being examined. The inspectors verified that the eddy current analysts were qualified and confirmed to be prepared for the specific site conditions for the Unit 2 SGs by applicable testing. The independent quality data analyst (IODA) work scope was reviewed to confirm the extent of independent oversight of the eddy current testing process.
The inspectors participated in FENOC's outage conference call with NRR on March 21, 2011to discuss the Unit 2 SG tube examination results obtained and a status summary of eddy current inspections up to that time. No primary{o-secondary leakage was observed by FENOC during the recently completed cycle (EOC15) and no sleeving was performed during the 2R15 outage.
The inspectors observed in-situ full length pressure testing of SG "C" Row 29 Column 12 a peripheral tube because the tube contained large amplitude permeability variation (PVN) signals extending for large distances between the 4th cold leg tube support plate and the 7'n hot leg tube support plate which successfully passed the required pressure testing. The inspectors reviewed a sample examination data records for selected tubes and the characterization and disposition of the identified flaws, including stabilizing and plugging of various tubes in each SG to verify the steam generator inspection monitoring program was implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the steam generator examination program.
Problem ldentification and Resolution The inspector reviewed a sample of Unit 2 condition reports, which identified flaws and other nonconforming conditions since the previous 2R14 outage and during the 2R15 outage. The inspector verified that nonconforming conditions were properly identified, characterized, evaluated, corrective actions identified and dispositioned, and appropriately entered into the corrective action program.

b. Findinos lntroduction: A Green, self-revealing NCV of TS 5.4.1, "Procedures", was identified in that technicians inadvertently caused an auxiliary feedwater actuation when the plant was shutdown for refueling. Specifically, the procedure used to inject simulated steam generator water signals was inadequate, which resulted in the technicians erroneously inserting two-ofthree (213) Low-Low level signals to the SGs and causing actuation of auxiliary feedwater.
Description:
On March 7, Unit 2 was in the process of simulating steam generator water levels (SGWLs) when channel 1 and channel 2 SGWLs were placed in 'test', which resulted in the actuation of the auxiliary feed water system. Attachment 10 of procedure 2OM-52,4.R.1.A, Station Shutdown Mode 1 to Mode 6, procedure directs technicians to insert SGWL inputs (simulating a normal water level) to prevent ESF actuation while adjusting real SGWL throughout the outage.
The technicians performing the work failed to apply a voltage to the channel 1 terminals prior to placing the channel 2 steam generator water levels to test. By placing channel 1 and channel 2 in test simultaneously for all three RCS loops, the ESF logic (213 SG Low-Low water level) for AFW actuation was met. The A and B motor-driven AFW pumps started, but did not discharge water into the steam generators due to the AFW valves being shut per 2OM-52.4.R.1.A. The turbine drive AFW pump was isolated at the time.
The bypass feedwater regulating valves (FRVs) did open, resulting in an increase in SGWL due to a condensate pump operating, but was controlled by the reactor operator taking manual control of the bypass FRVs.
Analvsis: The failure to maintain adequate procedures for controlling SGWL indications adequately was a performance deficiency. Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to example 4.b in IMC 0612, Appendix E.
The inspectors performed a Phase 1 SDP evaluation in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, Checklist 2 "PWR Cold Shutdown Operation: RCS Closed and SGs Available for DHR (Loops Filled and Inventory in Pressurizer) Time to Boiling Less than 2 Hours." There was no loss of control and all mitigating capabilities were available, therefore a Phase 2 quantitative assessment was not required and the issue screened to Green (very low safety significance).
The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Work Control, in that FENOC personnel did not appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address the need to communicate, coordinate and cooperate with each other during activities in which interdepartmental coordination is necessary to assure plant and human performance.[H.3.(b)]
Enforcement:
TS 5.4.1, "Procedures", requires that procedures be established, implemented and maintained as recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Section 2.j requires general plant operating procedures, including instructions for transitioning from hot standby to cold shutdown. Contrary to the above, FENOC failed to maintain adequate procedures for plant cooldown. Because this deficiency is considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), and was entered into the corrective action program (CR 11-90528), this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

2RSO1 Radioloqical Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls lnspection Scope ===
During the period March 21 - 24, the inspector conducted the following activities to verify that the licensee was evaluating, monitoring, and controlling radiological hazards for work performed during the 2R15 refueling outage and in Unit 1, in locked high radiation areas (LHRA) and other radiological controlled areas. lmplementation of these controls was reviewed against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, Technical Specifications, and the licensee's procedures.
Radioloqical Hazards Control and Work Coveraqe The inspector identified work performed in radiological controlled areas in Unit 1 and Unit 2 and evaluated the licensee's assessment of the radiological hazards. The inspector evaluated the survey maps, exposure control evaluations, electronic dosimeter dose/dose rate alarm set points, and radiation work permits (RWP), associated with these areas, to determine if the exposure controls were acceptable. Specific work activities evaluated included an entry at power into the Unit 1 reactor building containment (RBC) to repair a brake on an in-core drive (RWP-1-11-1028) and a Unit 2 high activity resin flush (RWP 2-11-0607). For these tasks, the inspector attended the pre-job briefings and discussed the job assignments with the workers. The inspector also observed (from the centralized monitoring system), the implementation of exposure controls for inspections/repairs performed under the Unit 2 reactor head (RWP 2-11-5051).
The inspector reviewed the air sample records for samples taken under the Unit 2 reactor head to determine if the samples collected were representative of the breathing air zone and analyzed/recorded in accordance with established procedures. During tours of the Unit 2 RBC, the inspector verified that continuous air monitors were strategically located to assure that potential airborne contamination could be timely identified and that the monitors were located in low background areas.
The inspector toured accessible radiologically controlled areas in the Unit 2 reactor RBC and with the assistance of a radiation protection technician, performed independent radiation surveys of selected areas to confirm the accuracy of survey data, and the adequacy of postings. Radiation protection technicians were questioned regarding their knowledge of plant radiological conditions for selected jobs, and the associated controls.
Additionally the inspector reviewed the RWPs developed for other work performed during 2R15 including scaffolding installation/removal and steam generator tasks. In particular, the inspector reviewed the electronic dosimeter dose/dose rate alarm set points, stated on the RWP, to determine if the set points were consistent with the survey indications and plant policy.
lnstructions to Workers By attending pre-job briefings, the inspector determined that workers performing radiological significant tasks were properly informed of electronic dosimeter alarm set points, low dose waiting areas, stay times, and work site radiological conditions. By observing work-in- progress, the inspector determined that stay times were appropriately monitored by supervision to assure no procedural limit was exceeded. Jobs observed included various tasks performed under the Unit 2 reactor head, a high activity resin flush, and an entry into the Unit 1 containment to repair an in-core drive.
During tours of the RBC, the inspector determined that locked high radiation areas (LHRA) and a very high radiation area (VHRA) had the appropriate warning signs and were secured. Additionally, the inspector identified that low dose waiting areas were appropriately surveyed, identified, and used by personnel.
The inspector discussed with radiation protection supervision the procedural controls for accessing LHRAs and VHRAs and determined that no changes have been made to reduce the effectiveness and level of worker protection.
Contamination and Radioactive Material Control During tours of the RBC, the inspector confirmed that contaminated materials were properly bagged, surveyed/ labeled, and segregated from work areas. The inspector observed workers using contamination monitors to determine if various tools/equipment were potentially contaminated and met criteria for releasing the materials from the RCA.
Radioloqical Hazards Control and Work Coveraoe By observing preparations for performing dye penetrant testing of the inner reactor head surfaces, the inspector determined that workers wore the appropriate protective equipment, had dosimetry properly located on their bodies, and were under the positive control of radiation protection personnel. Clear radio communication was established between the workers and the centralized monitoring system. Stay times were properly measured and supervisory personnel controlled the movements of the workers to assure that exposure was minimized.
Radiation Worker Performance During job performance observations, the inspector determined that workers complied with RWP requirements and were aware of radiological conditions at the work site.
Additionally, the inspector determined that radiation protection technicians were aware of RWP controls/limits applied to various tasks and provided positive control of workers to reduce the potential of unplanned exposure and personnel contaminations.
Problem ldentification and Resolution A review of Nuclear Oversight field observation reports, dose/dose rate alarm reports, personnel contamination event reports and associated condition reports, was conducted to determine if identified problems and negative performance trends were entered into the corrective action program and evaluated for resolution and to determine if an observable pattern traceable to a similar cause was evident.
Relevant condition reports (CR), associated with radiation protection control access, initiated between January - March 2011, were reviewed and discussed with the licensee staff to determine if the follow up activities were being conducted in an effective and timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance.

Durinq the period Februarv 14 - 17 The inspector conducted the following activities to verify that in-plant airborne concentrations of radioactive materials are being controlled and monitored, and to verify that respiratory protection devices area properly maintained and used by qualified personnel.
lmplementation of these programs was evaluated against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, applicable industry standards, and the licensee's procedures.
Enqineerinq Controls The inspector verified that the licensee uses installed ventilation systems as part of its engineering controls (in lieu of respiratory protection devices) to control airborne radioactivity. The inspector reviewed procedural guidance for use of an installed system, the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) and determined that the system was operable. The inspector reviewed surveillance testing procedures and related data to confirm that the CREVS airflow capacity, flow path, and charcoal/HEPA filter efficiencies met regulatory criteria and are consistent with maintaining concentrations of airborne radioactivity as low as practicable. Also reviewed were the radiation detector calibration records for installed monitors and testing records that the system realigned at the appropriate radiation level. The inspector verified the system configuration by walking down components with the plant system engineer.
The inspector evaluated the use of in-plant continuous air monitor system (AMS-4) to determine if the monitors were appropriately located in areas where airborne radioactivity could potentially result from normal plant operations and that the systems were operable. With the assistance of a senior radiation technician the inspector observed weekly source checks of monitors located in the Unit 1 safeguards building and the Unit 2 spent fuel storage building, and determined that the instruments were operable. The inspector reviewed the calibration records for AMS-4 monitors located in other plant areas to determine if the instruments had their alarm set points appropriately established.
Through review of relevant procedures and analytical data, the inspector determined that the licensee has established an alpha and transuranic radiation monitoring program.
Included in this program were action levels for conducting additional measurements to assure that the airborne concentrations were properly characterized and that bioassay measurements would be taken, should the monitoring threshold be reached.
Use of Respiratorv Protection Devices The inspector observed the respirator fit testing of one
- (1) individual to determine if the testing was appropriately conducted per the procedural guidance. Additionally, the inspector confirmed that the individual tested had completed the requisite training and was medically qualified to wear a respirator.
The inspector examined various negative pressure, self-contained and supplied air respiratory protection devices and determined that these devices were certified for use by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health Administration (N IOSH/MSHA).
The inspector reviewed the records of air testing for supplied service air devices and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The air used in these devices appropriately exceeded the quality requirements for Grade D quality.
Self-Contained Breathino Apparatus for Emerqencv Use The inspector evaluated the adequacy of the respiratory protection program regarding the maintenance and issuance of SCBA to emergency response personnel. Training and qualification records were reviewed for at least three
- (3) licensed operators from each of the operating shifts, and for selected radiation protection personnel who would wear SCBAs in the event of an emergency.
The inspector observed a technician perform functional inspections on four
- (a) SCBAs staged at the Unit 1 Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) access point. Maintenance, hydrostatic test records, and regulator flow test records for these SCBAs were reviewed.
The method of refilling SCBA cylinders was evaluated and the air sample results were reviewed to confirm that the air quality met CGA G-7.1, Grade D (2004) standards.
Through review of training lesson plans and interviews, the inspector confirmed that individuals qualified to wear SCBAs were trained in replacing spent air cylinders.
Problem ldentification and Resolution Through review of Condition Reports and Nuclear Oversight field observations and an audit, the inspector verified that problems associated with the control and mitigation of in-plant airborne radioactivity are being identified at an appropriate threshold and are properly addressed for resolution in the corrective action program.
Durinq the period March 21 - 24 The inspector conducted the following activities to verify that in-plant airborne concentrations of radioactive materials are being controlled and monitored, and to verify that respiratory protection devices are properly selected and used by qualified personnel.

2RS04 Occupational Dose Assessment a.
Inspection Scope (1 sample)
During the period March 21 - 24, the inspector conducted the following activities to verify that the accuracy and operability of personal monitoring equipment and the effectiveness of determining a worker's total effective dose equivalent.
lmplementation of these programs was evaluated against the criteria contained in 10 CFR 20, applicable industry standards, and the licensee's procedures.
External Dosimetrv The inspector verified that the licensee's dosimetry processing was accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The inspector verified that the approved dosimeter irradiation categories were consistent with the types and energies of the site's source term.
The inspector confirmed that the licensee has developed "correction factors" to address the response of electronic dosimeters as compared to thermoluminescent dosimeters.
Internal Dosimetrv The inspector evaluated the equipment and methods used to assess worker dose resulting from the uptake of radioactive materials. Included in this review were bioassay procedures, whole body counting equipment (FastScan, AccuScan, portal contamination monitors) calibration and operating procedures, and the analytical results for 10 Part 61 samples.
The inspector determined that the procedural methods include techniques to distinguish internally deposited radioisotopes from external contamination, methods to assess dose from hard-to-measure radioisotopes, and methods to distinguish ingestion pathways from inhalation pathways.
The inspector reviewed the results from three whole body counts to assess the adequacy of the counting time, background radiation contribution, and the nuclide library used for assessing deposition. No individual exposure exceeded a committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) of 10 mrem.
Special Dosimetric Situations:
Declared Preqnant Workers The inspector reviewed the procedural controls, and associated records, for managing declared pregnant workers (DPW) and determined that one DPW was employed during the Unit 2 outage. The inspector reviewed the individual exposure results and monitoring controls to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.
Effective Dose Equivalent Methods The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures for monitoring external dose where significant dose gradients exist at the work site. For 2R15, external effective dose equivalent methods were used in assessing personnel exposure for work performed under the reactor head. The inspector observed the preparations made for performing dye penetrant examinations of the reactor head surface. These preparations included worker briefings, placement of dosimetry on the workers head, thorax, and abdomen, coordination of worker's movements from the centralized monitoring system, and remotely monitoring worker dose using telemetry. Upon completing the work, the inspector confirmed that the dosimetry was appropriately handled and transferred to the dosimetry laboratory for processing.
Problem ldentification and Resolution The inspector reviewed elements of the licensee's corrective action program related to implementing the dosimetry program to determine if problems were being entered into the program for timely resolution, the comprehensiveness of the cause evaluation, and the effectiveness of the corrective actions. Specifically, condition reports related to dose assessments, personnel contaminations, and dose/dose rate alarms were reviewed.

This review was accomplished by reviewing summary lists of each CR, attending screening meetings, and accessing FENOC's computerized CR database.
Findinqs f ntroduction: A Green, self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 5.4.1, "Procedures",
was identified in that the chemistry procedures failed to provide adequate detail to ensure timely completion of TS required sampling of the spray additive system.
Specifically, FENOC failed to complete timely sampling and analysis of the chemical addition tank, resulting in reasonable doubt of the operability of the spray additive system for 13 days.
Description:
On December 9, 2010, the Unit 1 chemical addition tank for the spray additive system was sampled per WO 200396970. A hydrometer analysis was performed on this sample the afternoon of December 9, with a result of 20.26% weight sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Normally, the hydrometer result is averaged with the titration result to give the final determination of NaOH weight in solution. The required titration was not completed during this timeframe to allow documentation of the average result.
This averaged result must be within the required TS range is 19.5-20o/o weight NaOH. ln this case, Procedure 1-CHM-SAM-3.19, ChemicalAddition Tank, documented the required TS range, but did not provide a timeframe for analysis completion, despite the need to support TS 3.6.8 for spray additive system operability. The chemist noted the hydrometer analysis result of 20.260/o weight NaOH in the work order binder, but did not inform a supervisor of the results of the hydrometer analysis.
On December 20, WO 200396970 was recognized as not being complete by a chemistry supervisor, and the task was added to the work week. The second part of the analysis, a titration, was completed on December 22, 13 days after the hydrometer analysis. The result of the titration was 19.99% weight NaOH, which was averaged with the hydrometer analysis from December 9, gave a final result of 20.13% weight NaOH, which exceeded the TS sample range.
The analysis results were reviewed by a supervisor, who notified the control room of the out of specification condition. The chemical addition tank was declared inoperable, which resulted in an entry into TS LCO 3.6.8 for the Unit 1 Spray Additive System. The control room verified no change in tank level had occurred since December 9 and resampled the chemical addition tank. Two samples were analyzed with final averaged results of 19.80o/o and 19.84o/o weight NaOH. The Unit 1 Spray Additive System was then declared operable and the TS LCO 3.6.8 was exited on December 9.
Analysis:
The failure to maintain adequate chemistry procedures to perform TS required sampling of the spray additive system was a performance deficiency. Traditional enforcement does not apply because the issue did not have an actual safety consequence or the potential for impacting NRC's regulatory function, and was not the result of any willful violation of NRC requirements. The finding is more than minor because it is similar to example 3.j in IMC 0612, Appendix E and it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affects the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable conseq uences.
In accordance with IMC 0609.04 (Table 4a), Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings," the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was not a design or qualification deficiency which resulted in a loss of safety function.
The cause of this NCV relates to the cross-cutting aspect of Problem ldentification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, in that FENOC personnel did not implement a corrective action program with a low threshold for identifying issues. FENOC did not identify the issue completely, accurately and in a timely manner commensurate with its safety significance. [P. 1 (a)]
Enforcement:
TS 5.4.1, "Procedures", requires that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained as recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Section 8.b requires procedures for surveillance tests for containment heat and radioactivity removal systems. Contrary to the above, FENOC failed to maintain adequate chemistry procedures for TS required sampling of the spray additive system. Because this deficiency is considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), and was entered into the corrective action program (CR 10-87438),this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000334/2011002-1, Inadequate Spray Additive System Sampling Procedures)
.2 Semi-Annual Trend Review (7 1 152)
lnspection Scope (1 sample)
The inspectors reviewed site trending results for the time period July through December 2010, to determine if trending was appropriately performed and evaluated by FENOC.
This review covered the site trending program under FENOC's Integrated Performance Assessment process, and included a sample of self-assessments from the several organizations at Beaver Valley. This review verifies that existing trends were (1)appropriately captured and scoped by applicable departments,
- (2) consistent with the inspectors' assessment from the daily CR and inspection module reviews and
- (3) not indicative of a more significant safety concern. Additionally, the inspectors verified the performance of site trending against NOP-LP-2001, "Condition Report Process", and NOBP-LP-2018, "lntegrated Performance Assessment /Trending." The inspectors also reviewed quarterly Quality Assurance reports and issues captured in the Activity Tracking database to identify issues and trends to evaluate during the inspection.
b.
Findinqs and Observations No findings of were identified. However, two trends were noted by the inspectors and FENOC that involved completing preventive maintenance late, as documented in condition reports (CR 1 1-88466, 10-85221, 10-85278) and inadequacies in procedure content / quality (11-91354,10-82360). These involved both safety and non-safety systems, but did not result in any failed surveillance tests.
40A3 Folfowup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153 - 4 samples total)
The inspectors performed event followup inspections activities documented below.
Documents reviewed for this inspection activity are listed in the Supplemental Information attached to this report.
.1 Plant Event Review
a. Inspection Scope
(3 samples)
For the plant events below, the inspectors reviewed and/or observed plant parameters, reviewed personnel performance, and evaluated performance of mitigating systems.
The inspectors communicated the plant events to regional personnel and compared the event details with criteria contained in IMC 0309, "Reactive Inspection Decision Basis for Reactors," for consideration of additional reactive inspection activities. The inspectors reviewed FENOC's follow-up actions related to the events to assure that appropriate corrective actions were implemented commensurate with their safety significance.
Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in the Attachment.
Unit 2: On March 7,2011, during steam generator water level simulation to support shutdown conditions, the technicians erroneously inserted signals satisfying Lo-Lo SGWL logic criteria, causing an inadvertent actuation of the motor-driven AFW system. Operators took actions to stop flow to the SGs. Mitigating systems performed as expected. The licensee documented this issue in CR 11-90528 (see section 1R20 finding);
Unit 2: On March 15,2011, 'A' standby service water pump (2SWE-21A) auto started when the secondary process rack 'A'was removed from service. Removal of the process rack resulted in a low service water pressure signal due to 2SWS-PT1 134 failing low, causing the pump 'A' standby service water pump to auto start.
Operators responded appropriately and mitigating systems performed as designed.
The licensee documented this issue in CR 11-91077; and Unit 2: On March 25,2011, the 2-1 EDG was declared inoperable while the 2-2 EDG was in a planned maintenance outage during the Unit 2 refueling outage. The recently replaced fuel supply lines were indentified to be leaking and incapable of maintaining operability of the 2-1 EDG, resulting in a 50.72 notification (EN#46700).
b. Findinqs No additional findings identified
,2 Review of Licensee Event Reports (LERs) (1 sample)
(Closed) LER 05000334 l 2010-002-01: "270 Degree Circumferential Flaw Found on Residual Heat Removal System Drain Valve Socket Weld."
The update to the LER was to document the validation of the probable cause of the crack on 1RH-200, which was confirmed to be fatigue. This issue was granted enforcement discretion and LER closed in report 05-33412010005, dated February 14, 2011. The information reviewed in this update does not invalidate any previous conclusion. The inspector determined that no findings of significance were identified and no violations of NRC requirements occurred. This LER is closed.

.1 RCS Dissimilar Metal Butt Welds (DMBW)
lnspection Scope The inspector reviewed visual examination records of three hot leg and one cold leg dissimilar metal butt welds (DMBWs) nozzle-to-safe-ends performed during 2R15 to verify that FENOC had incorporated and implemented MRP-139 industry guidelines regarding nondestructive examination and evaluation of certain dissimilar metal butt welds (DMBW) in reactor coolant systems containing nickel based Alloys 6001821182.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
Review of License Renewal Commitment lnspection of Unit 2 Containment Liner Inspection Scope Beaver Valley Unit 2 containment liner was visually and UT inspected during 2R15.
Visual examination of 100o/o of accessible containment liner surfaces and UT thickness liner volumetric examinations of 61 random and 8 non-random sample locations were scheduled. Sections of the containment liner were volumetrically examined by ultrasonic testing (UT) and assessed by FENOC personnel to be satisfactory and met design nominal liner thickness. During this onsite in-service inspection period, FENOC accomplished 8 of 8 non-random sample locations and 49 of 61 random sample locations satisfactorily. One random location 2RN063 exceeded the statistical acceptance criterion established as 90 percent (less than 10 percent degradation) of the nominalwallthickness, but met design thickness minimum, the remaining 12 random sample locations are scheduled to be completed during the 2R15 outage.
The inspector conducted an inspection of the Unit 2 containment liner coatings, directly observed a sample of manual and automated UT thickness examinations and reviewed several random and non-random UT examination test result records of Unit 2 containment liner inspections to verify that the inspections were performed in accordance with ASME Code, Section Xl, Subsection IWE and met Beaver Valley Unit 2 operating license.
b. Findinqs No findings were identified.
