Subject:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC INTEGRATED

INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2009-004

Dear Mr. Kowalewski:

On October 7, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission completed an inspection at your

Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents

the inspection findings, which were discussed on October 1, 2009, with you and other members

of your staff.

The inspections examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and

compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed

personnel.

This report documents one NRC identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). This

finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the

very low safety significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the

NRC is treating this finding as a noncited violation, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC

Enforcement Policy. If you contest the violation or the significance of the noncited violation, you

should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for

your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 612 E. Lamar Blvd, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas,

76011-4125; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Waterford Steam Electric

Station, Unit 3 facility. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization 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 IV, and the NRC

Resident Inspector at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The information you provide will

be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual chapter 0305.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000382/2009004; July 8, 2009 through October 7, 2009; Waterford Steam Electric Station,

Unit 3; Operability Evaluations.

The report covered a 3-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced

baseline inspections by regional based inspectors. One Green noncited violation of significance

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

Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process.

Findings for which the significance determination process does not apply may be Green or be

assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing

the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor

Oversight Process, Revision 4, dated December 2006.

A.

NRC-Identified Findings and Self-Revealing Findings

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green. The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications require all four

channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,

and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1. These Channel B

instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument, which was

previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument inoperable,

the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and reactor

coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable. The licensee

entered this finding in their corrective action program as condition reports CR-WF3-

2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407.

The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour was more

than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the mitigating

systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to ensure that

proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained. Also, if left

uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be

inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications

was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual

loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making

component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the

validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to

comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B

inoperable and not placing local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio,

and reactor coolant flow instrument channels in either bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).

Readiness for Impending Adverse Weather Conditions

a.

Inspection Scope

Since thunderstorms with potential tornados and high winds were forecast in the vicinity

of the facility for October 4, 2009, the inspectors reviewed the licensees overall

preparations/protection for the expected weather conditions. The inspectors evaluated

the licensee staffs documented preparations against the sites procedures and

determined that the staffs actions were adequate. During the inspection, the inspectors

focused on plant-specific design features and the licensees procedures used to respond

to specified adverse weather conditions. The inspector's evaluated operator staffing and

accessibility of controls and indications for those systems required to control the plant.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and

verified that operator actions were appropriate as specified by plant-specific procedures.

Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of one readiness for impending adverse weather

condition sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.01-05.

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the

reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted

to identify any discrepancies that could affect the function of the system, and, therefore,

potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures,

system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, technical specification

requirements, administrative technical specifications, outstanding work orders, condition

reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in

order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of

performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible

portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were

aligned correctly and operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the

components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were

no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly

identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events

or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the

corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization. Specific

documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of five partial system walkdown samples as

defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.04-05.

passive fire protection features in good material condition; and had implemented

adequate compensatory measures for out of service, degraded or inoperable fire

protection equipment, systems, or features, in accordance with the licensees fire plan.

The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk

as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later

additional insights, their potential to affect equipment that could initiate or mitigate a plant

transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event. Using the

documents listed in the attachment, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and

extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that

fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed, that transient material loading was

within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to

be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified

Enclosure

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk-significance

of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical

adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that technical specification operability was

properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no

unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and

design criteria in the appropriate sections of the technical specifications and Updated

Safety Analysis Report to the licensees evaluations, to determine whether the

components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required

to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would

function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where

appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations.

Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to

verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with

operability evaluations. Specific documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in

the attachment.

These activities constitute completion of four operability evaluations inspection samples

as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.15-05

b.

Findings

Introduction: The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of technical

specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation. The technical specifications

require all four channels (A, B, C, and D) of local power density, departure from nucleate

boiling ratio, and reactor coolant flow instruments to be operable when in Mode 1.

These Channel B instruments require an input from the Channel B log power instrument,

which was previously declared inoperable. With the Channel B log power instrument

inoperable, the Channel B local power density, departure from nucleate boiling ratio, and

reactor coolant flow instruments should also have been declared inoperable.

Description: On Aug 20, 2009, the inspector observed the performance of procedure

MI-003-126, Revision 14, Core Protection Calculator Functional. During the

performance of the test procedure, the inspector noted that CPC Channel B high log

power trip was bypassed. The inspector asked why technical specification 3.3.1 had not

been entered due to the inoperable log power Channel B instrument. Technical

specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation, requires that the reactor

protective instrumentation channels and bypasses contained in Table 3.3-1 be operable

in accordance with the requirements of the table. Table 3.3-1 requires all four channels

of local power density (LPD), departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR), and reactor

coolant flow instruments to be operable in Mode 1.

Log power Channel B provides a high log power automatic bypass removal signal for

LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow instrumentation channels. Technical specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1 requires the high log power bypass shall be automatically removed

when reactor power is greater than or equal to 10-4% of rated thermal power. When in

Mode 1, reactor power is greater than 10-4% of rated thermal power. The inspectors

determined that when a log power instrument is out of service, the automatic removal of

the high log power bypass function is inoperable and thus the associated protective

channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow are also inoperable.

- 9 -

Enclosure

The log power Channel B instrument was originally declared inoperable on Sept 1, 2008.

The operability determination concluded that since the plant was in Mode 4, only two log

power channels were required, therefore entry into technical specification 3.3.1 was not

required. On Sept 9, 2008, the plant entered Mode 2 with log power Channel B still

inoperable. The operability was not revised to reflect the change in plant conditions. In

accordance with technical specification 3.3.1, operators should have taken action to

place the associated LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow protective channels to either

bypass or trip within one hour.

On Aug 22, 2009, after considering the inspectors question, the licensee declared LPD

Channel B and DNBR Channel B inoperable, and placed both instruments in bypass.

During a subsequent control room tour, the inspector verified that LPD and DNBR were

bypassed, however noticed that reactor coolant flow Channel B had not been bypassed.

The inspector asked the shift manager if technical specification 3.3.1, Table 3.3-1

notation (C) affected any other trips. Upon further assessment, operations personnel

determined that reactor coolant low flow was also affected and declared steam

generator flow Channel B to be inoperable, as well.

Analysis: The failure to either trip or bypass the inoperable channels within one hour

was more than minor because it affected the configuration control attribute of the

mitigating systems cornerstone. Specifically, deliberate operator action was required to

ensure that proper reactor protection system coincidence and reliability were maintained.

Also, if left uncorrected, the potential existed for Channel B reactor protective trips to be

inadvertently removed while at power. The failure to meet the technical specifications

was considered to be of very low safety significance (Green), since there was no actual

loss of safety function. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the decision-making

component of the human performance area because the licensee failed to verify the

validity of underlying assumptions and identify unintended consequences of failing to

comply with technical specification 3.3.1 by declaring the log power Channel B

inoperable and not placing DNBR, LPD, and reactor coolant flow channels in either

bypass or trip condition (H.1.b).

Enforcement: Technical specification 3.3.1, Reactor Protective Instrumentation,

requires all four channels of LPD, DNBR, and reactor coolant flow to be operable and

able to have the high log power bypass automatically removed when reactor power is

greater than or equal to 10-4% percent of rated thermal power. Contrary to this, on

September 9, 2008, the licensee did not comply with the limiting condition for operation

action statement for technical specification 3.3.1 which states, the inoperable channel is

placed in either the bypassed or tripped condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The plant remained in

this condition until August 22, 2009. This violation has been determined to be of very

low safety significance and was entered into their corrective action program in condition

reports CR-WF3-2009-4401 and CR-WF3-2009-4407. Therefore, this violation is being

treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC

Enforcement Policy.

1R18 Plant Modifications (71111.18)

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following temporary/permanent modifications to verify that

the safety functions of important safety systems were not degraded:

August 26, 2009: Permanent modification of containment vacuum relief valves

such that once the valves are automatically opened, they remain open until

manually closed.

August 7, 2009: Temporary modification to revise the setpoint for the reactor

coolant Pump 2A upper thrust bearing high temperature alarm to reduce

31 with a new cell. The old Cell 31 was left in place and jumpered around, while

the new Cell 31 was installed at the end of the battery rack.

The inspectors reviewed the temporary modification and the associated safety

evaluation screening against the system design bases documentation, including the

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and the technical specifications, and verified that

the modification did not adversely affect the system operability/availability. The

inspectors also verified that the installation and restoration were consistent with the

modification documents and that configuration control was adequate. Additionally, the

inspectors verified that the temporary modification was identified on control room

drawings, appropriate tags were placed on the affected equipment, and licensee

personnel evaluated the combined effects on mitigating systems and the integrity of

radiological barriers.

The inspectors reviewed key affected parameters associated with energy needs,

materials/replacement components, timing, heat removal, control signals, equipment

protection from hazards, operations, flow paths, pressure boundary, ventilation

boundary, structural, process medium properties, licensing basis, and failure modes for

the modification listed below. The inspectors verified that modification preparation,

staging, and implementation did not impair emergency/abnormal operating procedure

actions, key safety functions, or operator response to loss of key safety functions;

postmodification testing will maintain the plant in a safe configuration during testing by

verifying that unintended system interactions will not occur, systems, structures and

components performance characteristics still meet the design basis, the

appropriateness of modification design assumptions, and the modification test

acceptance criteria will be met; and licensee personnel identified and implemented

appropriate corrective actions associated with permanent plant modifications. Specific

documents reviewed during this inspection are listed in the attachment.

radiation protection staff, the scope and breadth of its data review, and the results of

those reviews. The inspector independently reviewed electronic dosimetry dose rate

and accumulated dose alarm and dose reports and the dose assignments for any

intakes that occurred during the time period reviewed to determine if there were

potentially unrecognized occurrences. The inspector also conducted walkdowns of

numerous locked high and very high radiation area entrances to determine the adequacy

of the controls in place for these areas.

These activities constitute completion of the occupational radiological occurrences

sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71151-05.

Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual

Radiological Effluent Occurrences (PR01)

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspector sampled licensee submittals for the Radiological Effluent Technical

Specifications/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Radiological Effluent Occurrences

performance indicator for the first quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2009. To

determine the accuracy of the performance indicator data reported during those periods,

performance indicator definitions and guidance contained in NEI Document 99-02,

Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 5, was used. The

inspector reviewed the licensees issue report database and selected individual reports

generated since this indicator was last reviewed to identify any potential occurrences

such as unmonitored, uncontrolled, or improperly calculated effluent releases that may

have impacted offsite dose. The inspector reviewed gaseous effluent summary data and

the results of associated offsite dose calculations for selected dates during the third

quarter of 2009 to determine if indicator results were accurately reported. The inspector

also reviewed the licensees methods for quantifying gaseous and liquid effluents and

determining effluent dose. Additionally, the inspector reviewed the licensees historical

10 CFR Part 50.75(g) file and selectively reviewed the licensees analysis for discharge

pathways resulting from a spill, leak, or unexpected liquid discharge focusing on those

incidents which occurred over the last few years.

These activities constitute completion of the radiological effluent technical

specifications/offsite dose calculation manual radiological effluent occurrences sample

as defined in Inspection Procedure 71151-05.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152)

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, Barrier Integrity, Emergency

Preparedness, Public Radiation Safety, Occupational Radiation Safety, and Physical

Protection

.1

Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems

a.

Inspection Scope

As part of the various baseline inspection procedures discussed in previous sections of

this report, the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities

and plant status reviews to verify that they were being entered into the licensees

corrective action program at an appropriate threshold, that adequate attention was being

given to timely corrective actions, and that adverse trends were identified and

addressed. The inspectors reviewed attributes that included: the complete and

accurate identification of the problem; the timely correction, commensurate with the

safety significance; the evaluation and disposition of performance issues, generic

implications, common causes, contributing factors, root causes, extent of condition

- 19 -

Enclosure

reviews, and previous occurrences reviews; and the classification, prioritization, focus,

and timeliness of corrective. Minor issues entered into the licensees corrective action

program because of the inspectors observations are included in the attached list of

documents reviewed.

These routine reviews for the identification and resolution of problems did not constitute

any additional inspection samples. Instead, by procedure, they were considered an

integral part of the inspections performed during the quarter and documented in

Section 1 of this report.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.2

Daily Corrective Action Program Reviews

a.

Inspection Scope

In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific

human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of

items entered into the licensees corrective action program. The inspectors

accomplished this through review of the stations daily corrective action documents.

The inspectors performed these daily reviews as part of their daily plant status

monitoring activities and, as such, did not constitute any separate inspection samples.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

.3

Semi-Annual Trend Review

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of the licensees corrective action program and

associated documents to identify trends that could indicate the existence of a more

significant safety issue. The inspectors focused their review on repetitive equipment

issues, but also considered the results of daily corrective action item screening

discussed in Section 4OA2.2, above, licensee trending efforts, and licensee human

performance results. The inspectors nominally considered the 6-month period of

January 2009 through July 2009, for a review of Operating Experience Smart Sample:

OpESS FY2009-02, A Negative trend and Recurring Events Involving feedwater

systems as it applies to the emergency feedwater system.

The inspectors also included issues documented outside the normal corrective action

program in major equipment problem lists, repetitive and/or rework maintenance lists,

departmental problem/challenges lists, system health reports, quality assurance

audit/surveillance reports, self-assessment reports, and Maintenance Rule assessments.

The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the results contained in the

licensees corrective action program trending reports. Corrective actions associated with

- 20 -

Enclosure

- 21 -

Enclosure

a sample of the issues identified in the licensees trending reports were reviewed for

adequacy.

These activities constitute completion of one single semi-annual trend inspection sample

as defined in Inspection Procedure 71152-05.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA5 Other Activities

.1

Quarterly Resident Inspector Observations of Security Personnel and Activities

a.

Inspection Scope

During the inspection period, the inspectors performed observations of security force

personnel and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with Waterford

Steam Electric Station security procedures and regulatory requirements relating to

nuclear plant security. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal

plant working hours.

These quarterly resident inspector observations of security force personnel and activities

did not constitute any additional inspection samples. Rather, they were considered an

integral part of the inspectors normal plant status review and inspection activities.

b.

Findings

No findings of significance were identified.

4OA6 Meetings

Exit Meeting Summary

On September 18, 2009, the team presented the inspection results to Mr. J. Kowalewski,

Vice President, Operations, and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings.

The team confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined during the

inspection.

On October 1, 2009, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Joe Kowalewski, and

other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The

inspector asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be

considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.
