SUBJECT: WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2 CONSTRUCTION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000391/2010603 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Bhatnagar:
On June 30, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection of construction activities at your Watts Bar Unit 2 reactor facility. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 13, 2010, with Mr. Masoud Bajestani and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your Unit 2 construction permit as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, with the conditions of your construction permit, and with fulfillment of Unit 2 regulatory framework commitments. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, one violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding this violation are described in detail in the enclosed report. The violation involved failure to implement adequate measures to review the suitability of application of materials, parts, and equipment essential to the safety related functions of molded case circuit breakers and provide for the verification of checking the adequacy of
design, such as, calculational methods, performing a suitable test program, including qualifications testing of a prototype unit, under the most adverse conditions. Although determined to be a Severity Level IV violation, it is being cited because the criteria, specified in Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for a non-cited violation was not satisfied. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Additionally, this report documents seven NRC-identified findings which were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because these findings were Severity Level IV violations and were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating them as non-cited violations consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the non-cited violations in the enclosed report, you should provide a response within 30
TVA 2 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTENTION: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at the Watts Bar Unit 2 Nuclear Plant. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosures, and your
response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2
This integrated inspection included aspects of engineering and construction activities performed by TVA associated with the Watts Bar Nuclear (WBN) Plant Unit 2 construction project. This
report covered a three-month period of inspections in the areas of quality assurance (QA); identification and resolution of construction problems; construction activities; training and qualification of plant personnel; fire protection; and follow-up of other activities. The inspection program for Unit 2 construction activities is described in NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2517. Information regarding the WBN Unit 2 Construction Project and NRC inspections can be
found at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/plant-specific-items/watts-bar.html. The inspection identified one NRC-identified Severity Level (SL) IV violation (VIO), seven non-
cited violations (NCV), and one Unresolved Item (URI).
Inspection Results
- A SL IV NCV of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV, "Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to have procedures for identification, documentation and segregation of materials identified as nonconforming to Purchase Order (PO) requirements by the kick and count inspection. (Section Q.1.3)
- A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI, "Document Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to establish adequate measures to control the issuance of documents stored in the CONEX storage area. (Section Q.1.3)
- A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR Part 21 was identified by the inspectors for the failure to invoke 10 CFR Part 21 requirements on a supplier of safety-related services of basic components. (Section Q.1.3)
- A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," was identified by the inspectors for failure to identify improper weld size by the welder, field engineer, and quality control (QC) in accordance with applicable instructions, procedures, and drawings. (Section C. 1.3)
- A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," was identified by the inspectors for inadequate measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality, specifically non-conforming safety-related concrete, was promptly identified and corrected. (Section C.1.4)
- The inspectors identified a URI related to the material condition inside of the loop-3 RCS crossover piping. The inspectors concluded that in order to properly evaluate and disposition this issue, additional inspection would be required to determine (1) whether areas of
concern (potential pitting) were properly identified and documented at the time by QC and Field Engineer (FE) in accordance with applicable instructions and procedures; and (2) whether the engineering disposition appropriately addressed the area of concern. (Section C.1.8)
2 * A SL IV, NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XIII, "Handling, Storage, and Shipping," was identified by the inspectors in that the applicant failed to control the storage and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions
to prevent damage from nearby construction activities. Specifically, the inspectors identified multiple locations of weld and paint spatter, arc strikes, and mechanical damage on safety-related welds, piping, and components. (Section C.1.9)
- A SL IV VIO of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors in that the applicant failed to implement adequate design control measures in the qualification analysis, testing, and calculational methods used to qualify and analyze safety-related components. This is regarding the seismic qualification of circuit breakers in safety-related 120VAC Vital Instrument Power Boards. Two examples of design control violation are listed in the report details section. The violation did not meet the criteria for a non-cited violation in Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because the applicant's corrective action did not adequately address the findings identified and would not ensure that compliance was restored in a reasonable timeframe or prevent recurrence. (Section E.1.1)
- A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for a failure to correctly translate the design basis, as described in a System Description Document, into affected drawings and specifications. Specifically, a design basis requirement to provide diverse level measurement systems for the Safety Injection System Accumulators was not correctly translated into affected specifications and drawings issued for construction. (Section E.1.2)
- The inspectors concluded that concerns pertaining to the cable CAP sub-issue on adhesive backed cable mount supports have been appropriately addressed for Watts Bar Unit 2 and this item is closed. (Section OA.1.3)
- Other areas inspected were adequate with no findings of significance identified. These areas included: response to response Three Mile Island (TMI) Action Items; electrical systems and components; nuclear welding; structural welding; nondestructive examination and inservice inspection activities; craft training; and fire protection.

Q.1 QA Oversight Activities
Q.1.1 Identification and Resolution of Construction Problems (Inspection Procedure (IP) 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
During this inspection period, the inspectors reviewed problem evaluation reports
(PERs) as part of TVA's corrective action program to verify that issues being identified under the corrective action program were being properly identified, addressed, and resolved by TVA. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed three recent Bechtel QA surveillance reports regarding ongoing nondestructive examination work activities.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
c. Conclusions
Generally, the PERs reviewed were properly identified, addressed, and resolved; however, as noted in Section C.1.4, Structural Concrete, a violation of regulatory requirements was identified for failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality.
Q.1.2 Safety Conscience Work Environment (IP 35007)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors continued routine meetings with the Unit 2 Employee Concerns Program (ECP) representative to evaluate the effectiveness of the applicant's program for resolving employee concerns. The inspectors reviewed existing program requirements and all recent safety-related concerns identified by the applicant's and contractor's ECP programs. The inspectors also verified that significant problems were documented under the corrective action program and were being properly identified, addressed, and resolved by TVA. This included a review of anonymous PERs and trending for the
months of April and May.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
2 c. Conclusions
The inspectors did not identify any issues or concerns regarding the ability of the applicant to provide a safety-conscience work environment.
Q.1.3 Procurement, Receiving, and Storage Inspection (IP 35060 and IP 35065)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a procurement, receiving, and storage inspection in accordance with IP 35065, Procurement, Receiving, and Storage, and Section 02.04 of
IP 35060, Applicant management of QA activities. In addition, IP 38703, Commercial Grade Dedication, was used for guidance in reviewing commercial grade dedication activities. The inspection covered all aspects of procurement and procurement interfaces. This included a review of the design bases; material requests; procurement data sheets; technical evaluations and commercial dedication plans; purchase orders; 10 CFR Part 21 provisions; receiving inspection records; storage; corrective action program; interfaces between design, procurement engineering, procurement and QA;
personnel training and qualification; and internal and external oversight. The objectives of the inspection were to verify that these activities were performed in accordance with the applicable QA programs and NRC requirements.
Specifically, the inspectors:
1) Reviewed audit reports of procurement activities at the site. 2) Independently reviewed material requests, technical specifications in procurement data sheets, and procurement documents to determine whether they invoked the applicable Quality Assurance (QA) requirements and the applicable codes and
standards; and whether the specified design parameters were in accordance with those listed in the design specifications. This included ASME Code Section III requirements and environmental and seismic qualifications. 3) Reviewed purchasing documents for basic components to determine whether they imposed the requirements of 10 CFR 21 and whether the suppliers were on the
approved suppliers list. 4) Reviewed two samples of commercial grade dedication, to determine the adequacy of the dedication plan including the identification of critical characteristics, and to ascertain that the completed dedication activities complied with the dedication plan. 5) Reviewed for adequacy, the requirements specified in the procurement documents for documentation and acceptance of purchased items and sampled certificate of conformances (COCs). 6) Reviewed procurement documents to determine whether source verification was specified for complex engineered items when required and whether the appropriate receiving inspection organization was aware of the source verification results. 7) Examined the CONEX trailer to determine the adequacy of implementation for the protection, handling and control of purchasing documents. 8) Examined the system established for conducting receiving inspection including facilities and records of acceptance such as COCs to determine whether receiving inspection records were available and whether identified discrepancies were reviewed by QA and/or engineering, as appropriate, to assure proper disposition. 9) Examined material receiving inspection records to determine compliance with acceptance requirements and to ascertain whether receiving inspections were
based on acceptable documentation, direct examination, or record of source verification.
3 10) Examined storage facilities for safety-related items to ensure adequate protection and compliance with the applicable storage level. The inspectors checked for
proper segregation and identification of nonconforming items. The warehouses
examined included warehouse number 6 where the kick and count inspection takes
place, warehouse number 8 where Quality Control (QC) inspection takes place, and
warehouse number 7 where items are stored for issue to the field. Warehouse
number 7 also included storage of items originally intended for warehouses 6 and 8. 11) Reviewed purchaser notification points, hold points, and access rights when required to be included in procurement documents. b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified three violations of regulatory requirements as discussed below:
Violation 1:
Introduction: A Severity Level (SL) IV non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV, "Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to have procedures for identification, documentation and segregation of materials identified as nonconforming to Purchase Order (PO) requirements by the kick and count inspection. Specifically, effective measures did not
exist to segregate or properly identify hydraulic snubbers procured under PO 63534 as nonconforming to the PO identification requirements.
Description: On June 8, 2010, the inspectors conducted a walk-down of warehouse facilities at the WBN2 site. In warehouse number 7, the inspectors observed crates containing hydraulic snubbers that had not been subjected to QC receipt inspection, stored next to receipt inspected materials available for issue. Further review indicated
that some of these snubbers did not conform to the PO requirements in that they did not have all the required identification. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it represented an improper and uncontrolled work practice that can impact quality or safety, involving nonconforming safety-related hydraulic snubbers, being stored without proper identification in close proximity to other materials available for use.
This condition was documented in PER 234358. The cause of this finding was directly related to the resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area, as defined in IMC 0310, because TVA failed to provide a complete, accurate and up-to-date procedure, 25402-000-GPP-0000-N6104, Material Receiving, Revision (Rev.) 4, to address the handling of materials identified as nonconforming to PO requirements at the
kick and count stage of the receiving inspection (H.2(c)).
Enforcement: 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XV, "Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components," states in part that "measures shall be established to control materials, parts, or components which do not conform to requirements in order to
prevent their inadvertent use or installation. These measures shall include, as appropriate, procedures for identification, documentation, segregation, disposition, and notification to affected organizations."
Contrary to the above, on June 8, 2010, the inspectors observed crates containing
hydraulic snubbers being stored next to receipt inspected materials available for issue even though some of the snubbers did not conform to the PO requirements, in that they did not have all the required identification. In addition, the affected snubbers were not properly identified as nonconforming. Although procedures SPP-4.3, Rev. 0006, section 3.5 and 25402-000-GPP-0000-N6104, Rev. 4, section 6.5.12, require the immediate
4 segregation or identification of nonconforming material, these requirements apply to the QC portion of the receiving inspection and not the kick and count portion. This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 234358, it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 5000391/2010603-01, Marking and Segregation of
Nonconforming Materials from Accepted Materials Available for Use.
Violation 2:
Introduction: A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI, "Document Control," was identified by the inspectors for the failure to establish adequate measures to control the issuance of documents. Specifically, the applicant failed to establish proper storage and control of documents stored in the CONEX storage area that were used during performance of safety-related work activities.
Description: On June 8, 2010, the inspectors walked down the CONEX storage area and interviewed warehouse personnel on its use. The storage area was environmentally
controlled, used fire rated cabinets, and was locked during off shift hours. Files in the storage area were sometimes removed from storage or copied during performance of safety-related work activities. A sign-out folder was to be used whenever a file was removed from the area. The area included a refrigerator that was being used by personnel to retrieve drinks and food. On June 9, 2010, the inspectors attempted to
retrieve a completed receiving package for PO 31774, I&C Instrument Isolation Valves ASME Section III, Class 2, Safety-Related. The package had been removed from the file cabinets without using a sign-out folder. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it represented an improper and uncontrolled work practice that could impact quality or safety, involving the use of improperly stored and uncontrolled
documents in safety-related activities. This condition was documented in PER 234281. The cause of this finding was directly related to the resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area, as defined in IMC 0310, because TVA failed to provide a complete, accurate and up-to-date procedure, 25402-ADM-001, Document Control, Rev. 9, that describes what to do with copies of documents once originals have been
transmitted to Document Control and how to control satellite document control facilities (H.2(c)). Enforcement: 10 CFR, Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion VI, "Document Control," requires that "Measures shall be established to control the issuance of documents, such as instructions, procedures, and drawings, including changes thereto, which prescribe all activities affecting quality. These measures shall assure that documents, including changes, are reviewed for adequacy and approved for release by authorized personnel and are distributed to and used at the location where the prescribed activity is
performed." Contrary to the above, some files in the CONEX trailer have been used or copied to perform safety-related work activities effectively making it a satellite document control station, and the files in this trailer were not properly protected nor controlled. The area included a refrigerator containing food and drinks and the receiving records for PO 31774 were missing from the files in the CONEX trailer with no logout folder in place. In
addition, there were no signs in the trailer, on the filing cabinets or on the folders themselves identifying these records as for information only (FIO). This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy.
5 Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 234281, it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 5000391/2010603-02, Inadequate Storage and Improper Control of Documents Used in Safety Related Activities.
Violation 3:
Introduction: A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR Part 21 was identified by the inspectors for the failure to invoke the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 on a supplier for services of safety-related components. Specifically, lever arms for limit switches were purchased under PO 87607. The lever arms were sent to TVA Central Laboratories to perform
commercial grade dedication activities without invoking the provisions of 10 CFR Part
21. Description: The inspectors reviewed the completed package for PO 87607 and concluded that it did not invoke the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 on TVA Central Laboratories. The inspectors also reviewed intergroup agreement (IGA) -11, Central Laboratories, Rev. 001. This agreement, which is between TVA Nuclear Power Group
(NPG) and TVA Central Laboratories, establishes the responsibilities and requirements in providing requested services. The inspectors noted that this agreement did not invoke the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it represented an improper and uncontrolled work practice that can impact quality or safety, involving the issuance of procurement documents that did not invoke
the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21. This condition was documented in PER 235485. There was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this violation.
Enforcement: 10 CFR Part 21.31 states that "each individual, corporation, partnership, dedicating entity, or other entity subject to the regulations in this part shall ensure that
each procurement document for a facility, or a basic component issued by him, her or it on or after January 6, 1978, specifies, when applicable, that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 apply."
Contrary to the above, PO 87607 did not specify that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21
applied to TVA Central Laboratories nor did IGA-11, between TVA (NPG) and TVA Central Laboratories. This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 235485, it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV
5000391/2010603-03, Failure to Invoke 10 CFR Part 21 in Safety Related Procurement Documents.
In addition, the inspectors made the following observations as a result of their inspections:
- The dedication performed by TVA Central Laboratories for NAMCO limit switch lever arms purchased under PO 87607 was accepted even though it did not fully meet the dedication plan for verification of manufacturer and part number. This
condition was documented in PER 234290.
- Level B Condition Examples on page 14 of CAP procedure 25402-MGT-0003, Rev. 7 cover repetitive supplier nonconformances detected during receiving but since trending only covers conditions documented in PERs, other
6 nonconformances detected during the kick and count portion of the receiving inspection will not support this trending effort.
c. Conclusions
Problems were identified in the areas of equipment storage, document control and
invoking the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 as documented above. Other inspected procurement, receiving and storage activities were performed in accordance with the applicable QA programs and NRC requirements.
II. Management Oversight and Controls
C.1 Construction Activities
C.1.1 Instrument Components and Systems - Work Observation (IP 52053)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed safety-related instrumentation components and systems by direct observation of work performance and work in progress to verify related activities were performed in accordance with NRC requirements and applicant procedures. Four samples were inspected and selected from those associated with the reactor trip system and the engineered safety features actuation system. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed receiving documents, component identification, controls for potential
nonconforming components, storage conditions, qualifications of warehouse personnel, and physical condition of the components. The inspectors interviewed responsible personnel associated with receiving inspection and conducted walk-downs of warehouses 7, 8, and the Spring City facility to observe the storage facilities for purchased instrument components. The following items were inspected:
- 2-FT-68-6A (Receipt and Storage)
- 2-PT-68-340D (Receipt and Storage)

- IP 52053 Section 02.02.b - four samples Additionally, the inspectors reviewed in-process work orders for containment sump level transmitters. The inspectors verified the transmitters were bench calibrated with proper control of measuring and test equipment. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. c. Conclusions
Adequate receipt and storage controls were established for the inspected samples.
7 C.1.2 Instrumentation Installation Activities- Work Observation (IP 52053) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors interviewed responsible personnel, reviewed documentation, and evaluated Unit 2 instrument installation activities. The inspectors interviewed responsible construction oversight personnel to determine the status of installation activities being performed at Unit 2. The inspectors reviewed
installation procedures MAI-4.4A, "Instrument Line Installation" and MAI-4.4B, "Instrument and Instrument Panel Installation" to determine the verification, testing and documentation requirements for instrument and instrument line installation. The inspectors performed walk downs to evaluate the installation activities in the north and south fan rooms to determine the progress and quality of installation activities. The following items were inspected:
- 2-LT-003-0094-F - Steam Generator 2 Narrow Range Level
- 2-LT-003-0156-A - Steam Generator 2 Narrow Range Level
- 2-RTV-003-0285A - Root Valve for 2-LT-3-42/174
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. c. Conclusions
The inspection results are too limited to support a conclusion at this time.
C.1.3 Pipe Support and Restraint Systems (IP 50090, 46071, and TI 2512/023)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed procedures and instructions pertaining to pipe support and restraint systems to determine if they had been evaluated and approved by appropriate applicant personnel. The inspectors also conducted interviews with personnel engaged
in pipe support installation and performed work observations to confirm adequate performance of pre-installation checks, field adjustments, equipment control, and calibrations. The inspectors assessed whether that personnel had received the appropriate training, had the latest revisions of applicable drawings, and significant modifications to supports had been approved by appropriate personnel.
The inspectors conducted walk-downs of the following installed safety-related pipe supports to verify their compliance with NRC requirements and applicant commitments:
- H-406-14-23-72 (Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS))
- H-406-14-23-71 (CVCS)
- 2-47A462-11-172 (Ice Condenser System)
- 2-47A462-11-173 (Ice Condenser System)
- 2-47A462-11-174 (Ice Condenser System)
- 2-47A450-26-304 (Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW) System)
Specifically, the inspectors performed a visual inspection to verify the absence of
deformation and corrosion. Independent measurements were also performed to determine whether the installed configuration of pipe supports was consistent with final as-built drawings.
8 The inspectors also observed applicable controls of specific processes and activities including torquing of bolts, minimum spacing between bolts, slippage of nut during installation, and number of washers used on bolts for the following supports:
SUPPORT ID # (2 bolts per support)
110714210-570 110714210-385 110714210-386 110714210-373 110714210-358 110714210-413
110714210-380 110714210-158 110714210-304 110714210-115 110714210-351 110714210-329 995417923-153
995417923-055 995417923-170
SUPPORT ID# (4 bolts per support)
110714194-084 110714194-126 110714194-128 110714194-129
The following samples were inspected:
- IP 50090 Section 02.02.a - one sample
- IP 50090 Section 02.03.a - one sample
- IP 50090 Section 02.03.b - two samples
- IP 50090 Section 02.03.d.2 - six samples
- IP 50090 Section 02.03.d.2 - six samples
- IP 50090 Section 02.03.f - six samples
- IP 46071 Section 02.02.b - 46 samples
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following NCV:
Introduction: A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," was identified by the inspectors for failure to identify improper weld size by the welder, field engineer, and quality control (QC) in accordance with applicable instructions, procedures, and drawings.
Description: On February 25, 2010, the inspectors performed a walk-down of newly-installed pipe supports to determine whether their as-installed configurations matched those specified by the applicable drawing revision authorizations (DRAs). The inspectors identified an example where the weld throat did not meet the minimum size requirements, specified by DRA 52897-005, for a weld joining an embed plate to pipe support 2-47A450-26-304 for the safety-related ERCW system.
9 Specifically, the inspectors identified that Weld #1 joining embed plate 48N913-8B to pipe support 2-47A450-26-304 was (1) not welded in accordance with the drawings; (2) was verified and signed off by the field engineer (FE) despite the incorrect weld size; and (3) was accepted by QC despite the fact that the weld size did not meet the acceptance criteria specified in DRA 52897-005.
On February 26, 2010 the applicant initiated PER 219205 to document the conditions identified by the inspectors. The applicant concluded that although the weld had been final accepted by QC, it did not meet the size requirements specified by DRA 52897-005, and would have to be repaired or reworked. An initial extent of condition evaluation was performed and included re-inspection of 67 safety-related welds, 18 of which were found
not to meet the acceptance criteria. The applicant's review of this issue and follow-up extent of condition review, which identified the additional 18 undersize weld, extended into the inspection period covered by this report and is the reason this violation is documented in this inspection report.
This finding was determined to be more than minor because it represented an inadequate work activity and inadequate quality oversight function that, if left
uncorrected, could adversely affect the quality of the construction and records of a safety-related system, the ERCW system. The cause of this finding was directly related to the work practices component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area, as defined in IMC 0310, because TVA failed to appropriately communicate human error prevention techniques, such as self checking, and proper documentation of activities
(H.4 (a)).
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, "Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings" requires in part that activities affecting quality shall be accomplished in accordance with instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Section 6.1.3 of Bechtel procedure 25402-000-GPP-0000-N3504, "Pipe and Instrument Tubing Supports" requires that all materials, work, and services shall fully comply with the design drawings, specifications, applicable codes and standards. Additionally, Section 6.3.1 requires that the quality control engineer (QCE) inspect and verify all
inspection attributes for Safety-Related (SR) and Quality Related (QR) activities. These inspection attributes include orientation, configuration, and dimensions as defined in attachment B of the procedure. Finally, Section 6.3.7 requires that the FE verify that hangers and supports are installed in accordance with design output documents, including drawings.
Contrary to the above, activities affecting quality were not accomplished in accordance with applicable instructions, procedures, and drawings. Specifically, Weld #1 joining embed plate 48N913-8B to pipe support 2-47A450-26-304 was (1) not welded in accordance with the drawings; (2) was verified and signed off by FE despite the incorrect weld size; and (3) was accepted by QC despite the fact that the weld size did not meet the acceptance criteria specified in DRA 52897-005.
This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 219205, this violation is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 5000391/2010603-04,
Undersized Pipe Support Welds.
10 c. Conclusions
The inspected activities associated with the installation of pipe supports for those discussed above were not performed in accordance with applicant procedures and NRC regulations; however, other activities observed were performed in accordance applicable procedures.
C.1.4 Structural Concrete (IP 46053)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed concrete placement activities associated with work order (WO) 09-954333-011. The inspectors interviewed personnel involved with these activities and assessed the following conditions prior to and during the placement process:
- The pre-placement inspection performed by QC was completed before any concrete was placed.
- The placement area was cleaned and joint preparation was as specified in the construction specification.
- Records were produced, reviewed, and indicated mix, location, time placed, water additions, and temperature of the concrete mix and ambient conditions.
- Concrete temperature, slump, air content, and unit weight were determined at the proper location and frequency.
- Sampling and testing techniques conformed to the procedures specified in the applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
- Test specimens, for concrete strength determination, were sampled at the required location and frequency and were molded and cured in accordance with specified requirements.
The following samples were inspected:
- IP 46053 Section 02.03.e - one sample
- IP 46053 Section 02.03.f - one sample
- IP 46053 Section 02.03.h - two samples
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following NCV:
Introduction: A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action", was identified by the inspectors for inadequate measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality, specifically non-conforming safety-related concrete, were promptly identified and corrected.
Description: On May 17, 2010, the inspectors observed concrete placement activities associated with work order (WO) 09-954333-011. On May 21, 2010, PER 230811,
"Concrete Mixing and Placement Violations," was issued to document issues with concrete mixing and placement discrepancies identified during the placement of concrete into the floor for support No. 2-70-888 in accordance with WO 09-954333-011. Prior to placement, QC rejected the safety-related concrete batch; however, the concrete was placed with known concerns.
11 On June 30, 2010 the inspectors reviewed
PER 230811 and discovered that
the PER and associated actions had been closed and archived. The action to address the nonconforming condition did not fully address the discrepancies identified during placement as stated in PER 230811. On July 1, 2010, the applicant initiated PER 237820 to document the inappropriate closure of PER 230811.
This finding was determined to be more than minor because it represented an improper or uncontrolled work practice that can impact quality or safety, involving safety-related SSCs, in that the failure to appropriately disposition the nonconforming condition (concrete rejected by QC) led to the inadvertent use of concrete of indeterminate quality in a safety-related application. The cause of this finding was
directly related to the work practices component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area, as defined in IMC 0310, because the applicant failed to ensure supervisory and management of oversight of work, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported (H.4(c)).
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality,
such as deficiencies, deviations, defective materials, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
Contrary to the above, measures specified in the Corrective Action Program procedure 25402-MGT-003 including oversight by responsible organizations, were
inadequate to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies, deviations, defective materials, and nonconformances were corrected. Specifically, PER 230811 was closed inappropriately without an adequate engineering disposition for non-conforming (as rejected by QC) safety-related concrete and the responsible organization did not verify completion of the PER corrective actions.
This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 237820, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement
Policy: NCV 5000391/2010603-05, Inadequate corrective actions for non-conforming safety-related concrete.
c. Conclusions
The inspected activities associated with the disposition of non-conforming safety-related concrete were not performed in accordance with applicant procedures and NRC regulations as noted above.
C.1.5 Safety-Related and RCS Pressure Boundary Piping Records Review (IPs 49055 and 49065, TI 2512/024)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions related to the Heat Code Traceability Corrective Action Program (CAP) implementation plan ("plan") for Unit 2 following the guidance in Temporary Instruction (TI) 2512/024. This CAP was designed to resolve issues related to traceability problems identified in the mid-1980s with pressure retaining
loose piping, fittings, and flange bolting (materials) used in American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) applications. The overall objective of the CAP was to
12 provide a re-verification of ASME Section III Code compliance of the installed hardware. The plan for the CAP was designed to address the following identified issues and to provide for recurrence control:
The inspectors compared the Unit 2 plan to the Unit 1 plan to evaluate the similarity of approach for both units and to determine whether any differences were appropriate. Overall, the inspectors reviewed records related to ASME Section III, Class 1, 2, and 3 pressure retaining materials to determine if the applicant was effectively implementing
the Unit 2 plan. The inspectors reviewed applicant efforts to resolve unverified non-destructive evaluation (NDE) for Class 1, 2, and 3 pressure retaining materials as well as recurrence control efforts. More specifically, the inspectors:
- Reviewed records to determine if the required performance tests, nondestructive tests, and other specification requirements were met and if the required inspections were performed. The inspectors reviewed the applicant's efforts to ensure adequate traceability and Code compliance of Class 1, 2, and 3 pressure
retaining materials to determine if those efforts were being performed in accordance with the plan;
- Reviewed the applicant/contractor system for reporting and dispositioning nonconforming materials associated with the reactor coolant pressure boundary piping and other safety-related piping and two nonconforming reports to determine:
- whether the records adequately documented the status of the nonconformances;
- whether the sample of records was legible and complete; and, * whether the records were being properly identified and stored.
- Performed field walk-downs on nine Class 1 welds, four Class 2 welds, one Class 3 weld, and one Class 2 valve to evaluate the base metal traceability to the material certifications and the adequacy of the material certifications compared to
the relevant Code requirements. This review included 27 loose material pieces consisting of 17 separate heat numbers installed in four systems. The nine reactor coolant pressure boundary welds reviewed included five 3/4" diameter, two 2" diameter, and two 3" diameter parts. These reactor coolant pressure boundary parts were located in the reactor coolant, chemical and volume control,
and safety injection systems. The specific list of welds that were inspected is included in the Attachment to this report;
- Performed field walk-downs of welds 2-068A-T035-27 and 2-068A-T015-27, which were annotated in the N-5 database as being removed, to evaluate the accuracy of the database; and, * Reviewed Bechtel and TVA procurement and material control procedures to determine if the procedures contained appropriate recurrence control elements;
The inspectors interviewed ASME N-5 personnel about TVA's implementation of the
plan. The inspectors also reviewed Boundary Information Transmittals (BIT), engineering evaluations, work orders, material certification packages (weld map,
13 certified mill test reports, certificates of compliance, weld fit-up data sheets, and examination record data sheets), historical condition reports, and the Unit 1 plan to evaluate the applicant's plan for Unit 2. Other documents reviewed are also included in the attachment.
These inspection activities reviewed a portion of the applicant's plan. Therefore, this
CAP remains open.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. During implementation of the Unit 2 plan, the applicant identified numerous traceability concerns with installed materials and addressed each issue by writing a BIT. The inspectors reviewed two BITs and determined the BITs appropriately characterized the nonconformance and the BITs were in conformance with all applicable procedures. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed all deviations between the plans for both units and determined that they were acceptable because the scope of the Unit 2 plan exceeded the scope of the Unit 1 plan. For example, the plan for Unit 1 consisted of a statistical sampling of all Class 2 & 3 materials to obtain a 95% confidence level that all materials
complied with the Code; however, the applicant reviewed all Class 2 & 3 materials for Unit 2 and did not rely on a statistical sampling technique to ensure Code compliance. c. Conclusions
The applicant's closure plan for the Heat Code Traceability CAP was similar to the plan used to close the Unit 1 CAP with no unacceptable deviations identified. The applicant
was effectively implementing the Unit 2 plan for those activities reviewed during this inspection.
C.1.6 Cable Signal Tracing - Work Observation (TI 2512/016, IP 52053) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed calculation EDQ00299920090014, Engineering Document Construction Release (EDCR) 54264, and WO 111010149 associated with the signal tracing of B-train, safety-related cable 2V1916B. Additionally, the inspectors interviewed responsible engineering staff and observed field cable signal tracing activities. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors determined that the pre-job briefings were adequate, covering staff qualifications, equipment calibration and operating conditions, other staff assistance requirements for providing ladders and access to spaces inside the Auxiliary Building, operations coordination, and appropriate tools. The inspectors verified that the staff performing the tracing were following proper
peer-to-peer verification procedures. The inspectors observed the signal tracing; however, the applicant noted the results did not appear reasonable to accurately identify routing. It was identified that the routing picked up by the tracing was different from the routing shown on the drawings and Integrated Cable and Raceway Design System (ICRDS) data sheets. At the end of the inspection period, the applicant was still investigating the tracing anomaly.
14 c. Conclusions
Further inspection is needed to verify ICRDS is updated with the results from the signal tracing.
C.1.7 RPV Internals and Protection of Installed Plan Equipment during Construction
Activities (IP 50053)
a. Inspection Scope
During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted observations of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) condition assessment activities. The assessment activities
included walk-downs and non-destructive examinations (NDEs). This inspection was to determine whether requirements, work procedures, and inspection (quality control) procedures were being met. The inspectors also observed ongoing visual examination activities performed by PCI Energy Services (PCI) inside the RPV. Housekeeping and protection controls of the RPV were observed to determine whether procedural requirements were being met.

C.1.8 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Piping (IP 49053)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed work activities associated with the reactor coolant system including loops 1 through 4 hot legs and cold legs. The inspectors entered and visually
examined the piping to verify the material condition. The inspectors also verified the following:
- Inspection (QC) and/or work performance verification, including specified frequency of inspections
- Utilization of qualified inspection personnel
- Control of nonconforming items
15 The following samples were inspected:
- IP 49053 Section 02.03 - one sample
- IP 49055 Section 02.02 - one sample
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following unresolved item:
Introduction: The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) related to the material condition inside of the loop-3 RCS crossover piping.
Description: On June 30, 2010, the inspectors reviewed PER 224434 associated with the material condition of the loop-3 RCS crossover piping. The inspectors had previously entered the loop-3 crossover piping on March 20 and 21 to inspect the
material condition of the interior of the piping as documented in inspection report 05000391/2010602. During that time and after work had been completed and signed off by QC. The inspectors noted that some potential areas of pitting had not been documented by the applicant as specified in WO 110739214. Specifically, Step 5.5.3.C of WO 110739214, stated the following:
"After cleaning, the surface of the RCS piping and welds shall be visually
examined to determine if surface pitting has occurred. The pipe interior shall be inspected for any area showing a reduction in wall thickness as PER NDRF 211911. Any suspect areas shall be forwarded to engineering for inspection and further evaluation."
In addition, Appendix B of the Corrective Action Program procedure 25402-MGT-003 requires that nonconforming items be dispositioned by engineering and a technical justification be included for Accept-As-Is or Repair.
As result of the NRC's questions, on April 7, 2010 the applicant initiated PER 224434 to
address the issues identified by the NRC related to the material condition of the crossover piping and document the location of these potential areas of concern; however, on June 30 after further review of the PER, the inspectors noted that corrective action 224434-002 included an engineering disposition unrelated to the issue and instead addressed a 3" drain line.
The inspectors concluded that in order to properly evaluate the applicant's disposition of this issue, additional inspection would be required to determine (1) whether areas of concern (potential pitting) were properly identified and documented at the time by QC and FE in accordance with applicable instructions and procedures; and (2) whether the
engineering disposition appropriately addressed the area of concern. This issue was identified as URI 05000391/2010603-06, "Material Condition Inside Loop-3 RCS Crossover Piping."
c. Conclusions
The inspectors concluded that additional inspection would be required to resolve
questions associated with material condition of RCS piping.
16 C.1.9 Protection of Installed Plant Equipment During Construction Activities - Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping (IP 49053)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a walk-down of a sample of installed safety-related welds,
piping, and components to determine whether the applicant and their contractors had established adequate controls for the storage and preservation of safety-related, ASME materials and equipment. Specifically, the inspectors performed walk-downs of portions of the following systems:
- Reactor coolant system (pressurizer surge line, pressurizer spray line, pressurizer relief and safety valve lines)
- Residual heat removal system
- Safety injection system
The inspectors observed housekeeping activities to determine whether quality
assurance program requirements were adequately implemented by the applicant and their contractors. The inspectors compared observations made to the following quality assurance program requirements:
- Appendix B, Criterion XIII, "Handling, Storage, and Shipping," of 10 CFR Part 50
- The TVA quality assurance program, TVA-NQA-PLN89-A, "Nuclear Quality Assurance Program (NQAP)," Rev. 23
- Watts Bar Unit 2 Construction Completion Project, Bechtel Project Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual (PNQAM), Rev. 6
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N45.2.3-1973, "Housekeeping during the Construction Phase of Nuclear Plants," (referenced in both NQAP and PNQAM)
- ANSI N45.2.2-1972, "Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and handling of Items for Nuclear Plants." (Referenced in both NQAP and PNQAM)
- ANSI N45.2.8-1975, "Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements for the Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systems for the Construction of Nuclear Power Plants."
b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following NCV:
Introduction: The inspectors identified a SL IV, NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII, "Handling, Storage, and Shipping," in that, the applicant failed to control the storage and preservation of safety-related material (welds, piping, and components) to prevent damage from nearby construction activities. Specifically, the inspectors identified multiple locations of weld and paint spatter, arc strikes, and mechanical damage on safety-related welds, piping, and components.
Description: On June 23, 2010, while performing a walk-down of the pressurizer safe-end to elbow weld (RCF-D144-11), the inspectors identified multiple examples of weld and paint spatter, arc strikes, and mechanical damage (e.g., dents, dings, gouges, etc.) on adjacent ASME Class 1, safety-related welds, piping, and components. On June 24, 2010, the inspectors performed another walk-down of piping systems in the reactor building and identified additional examples of weld and paint spatter, arc strikes, and
mechanical damage on ASME Class 1, safety-related welds, piping, and components.
17 The inspectors identified approximately 70 locations of damage associated with welds, piping, and components within the following systems: (1) reactor coolant system, (2) safety injection system, and (3) residual heat removal system. The specific issues identified by the inspectors were documented by the applicant in PER 236720.
The inspectors noted that affected welds, piping, and components were fabricated from
stainless steel alloys, and were all ASME Class 1, pressure boundary items. The inspectors determined that these issues were reasonably within the applicant's ability to foresee and correct, and should have been prevented.
TVA's Nuclear Quality Assurance Program and the Bechtel PNQAM both require the
implementation of ANSI N45.2.8-1975, "Supplementary Quality Assurance Requirements for the Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systems for the Construction of Nuclear Power Plants." Section 4.6, Care of Items, of ANSI N45.2.8-1975, states in part:
"Items on which inspection and testing activities are being performed shall be protected from personnel traffic, weather, and adjacent construction activities
such as sandblasting, acid cleaning, welding, jack hammering, chipping, burning and stress relieving that would adversely affect the quality of the item or test results. Such protection shall be provided through good cleanliness and housekeeping practices, temporary packaging, erection of barriers, protective covers, and walkways as required in accordance with Subsection
2.6." ANSI N45.2.8-1975, Section 2.6 references ANSI N45.2.3-1973, "Housekeeping during the Construction Phase of Nuclear Plants," which both TVA and Bechtel commit to in their quality assurance programs. This ANSI standard specifically addresses the
protection of materials and equipment from physical damage during the construction phase. Bechtel implements the requirements of ANSI N45.2.3-1973 through adherence to Procedure 5402-000-GPP-0000-N2102, "Housekeeping." Section 6.11, "Housekeeping During Construction Activities," of this procedure, states in part:
"Barriers, screens, shields, restricted access, or other protection shall be provided as necessary for isolation of areas where dust, inclement weather, or other conditions exist that may affect the quality of work being performed. This protection should be maintained throughout the work cycle."
Based on the applicant's preliminary evaluation of the conditions identified, the inspectors determined that the applicant failed to provide adequate protection of safety- related welds, piping, and components from adjacent construction activities in accordance with work and inspection instructions.
The inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor because it represented
an inadequate quality oversight function that, if left uncorrected, could adversely affect the quality of the construction of safety-related, pressure boundary welds, piping, and
components. Specifically, these conditions could render the quality of the installed items unacceptable or indeterminate. Additionally, the repairs or rework required to correct the identified conditions may require additional examinations to verify conformance with the construction code of record. Furthermore, the applicant had previously completed pre-service inspections on some of the affected welds, and depending on the repair required
to correct the condition, the pre-service examination results may be invalidated.
18 This issue was entered into the corrective action program as PER 236720. This PER stated that some of these issues were likely the result of recent construction activities and others were likely historical issues, in that they were caused by construction and/or installation activities that occurred prior to 2008. There was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this violation.
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XIII, "Handling, Storage, and Shipping," requires, in part, that, "measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration."
TVA's Nuclear Quality Assurance Program and the Bechtel PNQAM both require the implementation of ANSI N45.2.8-1975 and ANSI N45.2.3-1973. Section 4.6, "Care of Items," of ANSI N45.2.8, states in part that, "Items on which inspection and testing activities are being performed shall be protected from -adjacent construction activities-that would adversely affect the quality of the item or test results."
Section 6.11, "Housekeeping During Construction Activities," of Procedure 5402-000-
GPP-0000-N2102, "Housekeeping," Rev. 8, states in part: "Barriers, screens, shields, restricted access, or other protection shall be provided as necessary for isolation of areas where dust, inclement weather, or other conditions exist that may affect the quality of work being performed."
Contrary to the above, prior to June 24, 2010, the applicant failed to control the storage and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage from adjacent construction activities as evidenced by multiple locations of weld and paint spatter, arc strikes, and mechanical damage on safety-related welds, piping, and components.
This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation and because it was entered into the corrective action program as PER 236720, it is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 5000391/2010603-07, Failure to
Protect Safety-Related Welds, Piping, and Components During Construction Activities.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors identified a violation for the applicant's failure to control the storage and
preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage from nearby construction activities.
C.1.10. Unresolved Item 78-05-02, Reactor Vessel - Nozzle Weld Surface Cracking
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors conducted interviews and reviewed documentation related to URI 78-05-02, Reactor Vessel - Nozzle Weld Surface Cracking, to determine whether the cracking had been adequately repaired. The inspectors reviewed welding records and NDE reports related to repairs completed to loop four, reactor vessel cold leg nozzle weld 2-068C-W004-01, to evaluate compliance with the requirements of ASME Section III,
1971 edition through the summer 1973 addenda. Following all repairs, the final radiographic exam (RT) was performed on May 9, 1978, and was accepted by both the
19 Level II reviewer and Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI). However, a subsequent May 19, 1988, review rejected the May 9, 1978, RT due to excessive geometric unsharpness and use of the wrong penetrameter. This issue was generic in nature, in that, during an NRC conducted review of RT film for both Unit 1 and Unit 2, 683 Class 1 and Class 2 welds were identified with geometrical unsharpness issues. See NRC inspection report 50-390, 391/91-23 for additional information on the RT review. A subsequent
evaluation, and development of a special procedure per the 1971 edition of the ASME Section III, Appendix IX, paragraph IX-3110, was performed by the applicant to resolve the geometrical unsharpness issue for Watts Bar Unit 1. See NRC inspection report 50-390, 391/91-32 for additional details and disposition.
As these issues relate to Watts Bar Unit 2, the applicant intends to submit a special procedure to the NRC as a proposed alternative per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," and to the ANI for review and acceptance. Further inspection of URI 78-05-02 will continue, once those reviews or acceptable alternatives, have been completed.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that URI 78-05-02, Reactor Vessel - Nozzle Weld Surface Cracking will remain open.

C.1.14 Preservice Inspection - Data Review and Evaluation (IP 73055)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed a sample of recently completed PSI examination records (NDE records) for safety-related systems. The inspectors reviewed these records to determine
whether they met the requirements the ASME Code, the associated NDE procedure, and the applicant's quality assurance program. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the records to determine whether they contained or referenced the following information:
- Examination results and data sheets
- Examination equipment data
- Calibration data sheets (as applicable)
- Extent of examination
- Records on disposition of findings (if applicable)
- Identification of NDE material such as penetrant, penetrant cleaner, couplant, films, tapes, etc.
The inspectors also reviewed these records to determine whether:
- Collected examination data and any recordable indications were properly recorded to permit accurate evaluation and documentation.
- Evaluation of examination data was performed by a Level II or Level III examiner.
- Evaluation of examination data was consistent with the procedure.
- Evaluation of indications (if applicable) complied with the criteria of the NDE procedure and ASME Section XI.
- Incomplete examinations and results were repeated to permit full evaluation (if applicable).

Specifically, for PSI report R-P0240 (weld number RCF-D144-11), the inspectors reviewed the associated corrective action documents (PER 166624) that the applicant used to correct an unsatisfactory linear indication. The inspectors reviewed WO 10-951028-000 and supplemental examination reports (PT-019 and UT-019) to determine whether the
indication was adequately corrected. The inspectors also performed an independent visual inspection of the repair area to determine whether the weld conformed to contour and surface finish requirements. For the other PSI reports that documented unacceptable indications, the inspectors were unable to review the corrective actions because the conditions had not been corrected at the time of the inspection. The
inspectors reviewed the PERs that were generated for the unacceptable indications.
The inspectors reviewed records related to the PSI ultrasonic examination of the reactor pressure vessel head circumferential weld, W09-10, to determine whether the examination was performed in accordance with N-UT-78, Rev. 5. The inspectors also
reviewed these records to determine whether the records provided documentary evidence that the examination met the prescribed acceptance criteria and other technical and quality requirements. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed records to determine whether: * The method, extent and technique complied with the requirements of the PSI program and ASME Section XI.
- Exam data were within the ASME Section XI and NDE procedure acceptance criteria.
- Recording, evaluation and disposition of findings were in compliance with Section XI and the NDE procedure.
- The method used was sufficient to determine the full extent of an indication or its acceptance.
23 The inspectors performed the following samples:
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the PSI data reviewed met applicable ASME Code Sections, the applicant quality assurance program, and PSI Program requirements. The inspectors also determined that the PSI data was complete and was either within the prescribed acceptance criteria or documented in a corrective action document to restore compliance with acceptance criteria.
C.1.15 Nuclear Welding General Inspection Procedure (IP 55050)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an inspection of applicant activities associated with the fabrication and repair of safety-related piping welds at Watts Bar Unit 2. The inspectors
reviewed the contractor's welding program controls for welding fabrication and weld repair of safety-related piping welds.
The inspectors compared safety-related welding activities and records reviewed to the following technical and quality requirements:
- Bechtel Quality Assurance Manual, Rev. 3 (Section 9, "Control of Special Processes")
- The applicant's quality assurance manual TVA-NQA-PLN89-A, Rev. 23 (Section 9.3, "Control of Special Processes")
- Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants * The Watts Bar Unit 2 piping code of record (American Society of Mechanical Engineers [ASME] Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1971 Edition with addenda through summer 1973,Section III, Division 1, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components).
The inspectors reviewed portions of the contractor's Special Processes Manual (SPM), Rev. 1, to determine whether the contractor had established an adequate program to implement the above quality and technical requirements. The SPM included program documents such as: welding procedure specifications (WPSs) with supporting procedure qualification records (PQRs); welding filler metal control procedures; welder
performance qualification procedures; general welding standards; general purging specification; various NDE procedures; postweld heat treatment (PWHT) procedures; and weld documentation procedures.
24 Base Material and Weld Filler Material Compatibility for Welding
The inspectors reviewed WFMC-1, "Bechtel Welding Specification - Welding Filler Material Control," Rev. 1, to verify that the contractor had established procedures and instructions for the purchasing, receiving, storing, identifying, disbursing, and handling of welding filler metals. The inspectors reviewed the contractor's procedures to determine
whether they had established procedural controls for the following: (1) environmental (moisture) control; (2) holding and baking temperatures and out-of-oven exposure times for covered electrodes; (3) filler metal identification and control; and (4) filler metal disbursement. The inspectors compared WFMC-1 to the applicable quality requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B; and technical requirements of the ASME Section III
piping code of record.
The inspectors reviewed a sample of welding material purchasing and receiving records to verify conformance with the applicable quality and technical requirements. The inspectors reviewed the certified material test reports (CMTRs) for 17 heat/lot numbers of welding filler metals to determine whether they met the requirements of the ASME code (ASME Section II - Part C) and the applicable technical requirements prescribed by
the contractor's specifications. The inspectors also reviewed these records to determine whether the traceability of heat/lot numbers for weld filler metals and base materials were properly recorded on production weld records.
The inspectors observed the issuance of weld filler material from the weld rod issue
room and observed the identification, storage, and handling of welding filler materials. The inspectors observed these activities to determine whether they were performed in accordance with WFMC-1.
Welding Procedures
The inspectors reviewed the contractor's welding program to determine whether they had established adequate procedures for the preparation, qualification, distribution, and revision of WPSs.

The inspectors reviewed the above welding procedures to determine whether they met
the requirements of ASME Section IX, Welding and Brazing Qualification. The inspectors reviewed these procedures to determine whether they adequately defined the essential, supplementary essential (for impact toughness), and nonessential variables for each welding process, as prescribed by ASME Section IX.
For the above welding procedures, the inspectors also reviewed the supporting PQRs for conformance to ASME Section IX requirements to verify that the procedures were properly qualified. The inspectors verified that the PQRs were certified by the contractor and properly listed the essential variables. For each PQR, the inspectors: (1) verified that the ranges of the essential variables were consistent with those permitted by the WPS and were within the limits of ASME Section IX; and (2) reviewed the mechanical
25 testing results to verify that they were completed and properly documented in the PQR, and that the test results met or exceeded the minimum technical requirements.
During the review of the above WPSs, the inspectors verified that any changes or revisions to the essential or nonessential variables were properly identified, documented, and supported by requalification (if necessary).
Welder Performance Qualifications
The inspectors reviewed the contractor's welding program to determine whether: (1) the contractor had established adequate procedures for the qualification of welders and
welding operators; and (2) the contractor had established an adequate system to control the qualification status of welding personnel. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the contractor's procedure, WQ-1, "Welding Performance Qualification Specification [ASME Section IX]," Rev. 2, for conformance to welder qualification requirements prescribed by ASME Section III and Section IX. The inspectors reviewed six welder performance qualification records, and compared these records to procedure WQ-1 and ASME Section IX.
Production Welding
The inspectors reviewed three work packages containing completed weld records for compliance with the contractor's welding program requirements, the applicant's ASME
Section III code of record, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed "Field Weld Checklists (WR-5)" and associated fabrication and installation drawings, material traceability documents, ASME code data reports, and NDE reports on the following welds:

- Weld Number 2-061B-T023-2, C0R0; safety-related ASME Section III, Class 3
The inspectors reviewed the weld records for the above welds to determine whether: (1) the welding activity was properly documented on the weld traveler; (2) the weld traveler
appropriately referenced the correct welding procedure; (3) the welding technique and sequence requirements were specified; (4) the weld traveler established quality control and authorized nuclear inspector hold points; and (5) the base materials and welding filler materials were properly identified and traceable to the required test reports and certifications.
Preheat and Postweld Heat Treatment
The inspectors reviewed the contractor's welding program to determine whether the contractor had established adequate procedures for weld joint preheating and PWHT.
Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the contractor's procedure; PHT-1, "Bechtel General Welding Standard," Rev. 2; for the process of localized PWHT. The inspectors verified that PHT-1 contained requirements for the monitoring and recording of the time and temperature of the weld joint. The inspectors reviewed this procedure to determine whether it implemented the applicable ASME Section III requirements for PWHT.
26 The inspectors performed the following samples:
- IP 55050 Section 02.01 - seventeen heat/lot numbers for welding filler metals
- IP 55050 Section 02.03 - six welder performance qualification records
- IP 55050 Section 02.04 - three field welding document packages
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
c. Conclusions
The welding program documents reviewed met the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B; the contractor's quality assurance manual; the applicant's quality assurance manual; and the applicant's ASME Section III code of record.
C.1.16 Structural Welding General Inspection Procedure (IP 55100)
a. Inspection Scope

E.1 Engineering Activities
E.1.1 Procurement, Receiving, and Storage (IP35065) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions to resolve Bulletin 88-10 for non-conforming molded case circuit breakers (breakers). The inspectors reviewed the
33 applicant's program for commercial grade molded case breakers dedicated under the QA plan. The inspectors compared observations to references in the Final Safety Analysis Report, Chapter 3.10 Seismic Design of Category I Instrumentation and Electrical Equipment, paragraph 3.10.1 Seismic Qualification Criteria based on IEEE 344-1971 or IEEE 344-1975 and IEEE 323-1974 requiring the capability of Class 1E power equipment to withstand seismic disturbances to be established by seismic
analysis and/or testing of each system component. b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following VIO:
Introduction: On April 30, 2010, the inspectors identified a violation with two examples of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," for failure to implement design control measures that provided for design reviews, calculational methods, and qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions and to review for suitability of application of materials, parts, and equipment.
Description: The applicant installed breakers into the 4 divisions of 120VAC Vital Instrument Power Boards. The electrical loads in the power boards are safety related
and necessary to shut down and maintain the plant in a safe condition. The following describes the violation with two examples resulting from the inspectors' observations and review of the records and time line involved in the installation of the breakers.
Example 1: The inspectors found that significant differences existed between the
original qualification mounting and the actual mounting method of the breakers in the power boards. During the 1992 qualifications testing, (report S522-RP-02) the breakers were individually mounted to a plate with screws and no front cover. The actual breakers are mounted in the power boards by clamping 12 breakers with a 36" front cover against two horizontal angle iron supports in the rear and without additional
screws. The actual mounting method used introduces different shock and random frequency impacts during a postulated seismic event to the breakers that were not simulated nor analyzed in the tested mounting method. Additionally, the actual mounting method exposes the bus bar to additional seismic loading not simulated in the qualification testing. The front cover plate is held in place with one screw in each corner
and introduces an uncertain clamping pressure across the 12 breakers. The inspectors determined that the tested breaker mounting did not envelope the mounted condition of the breakers in the power boards.
Example 2: The inspectors reviewed WO 08-816370-000 used to replace old and add
new breakers into the WBN-2-BD-235-0003 120VAC vital instrument power board. The inspectors determined the applicant received breakers in which two attributes had been changed. The depth (Z dimension), a critical characteristic, was reduced and the auxiliary contact was moved from the outside to the inside of the breakers. The 1992 qualification report indicated a Z dimension of 3.75" and the manufacturer's catalog now indicates 2.609" for the critical characteristic. The applicant recognized that the breaker with the smaller Z dimension would not mount into the power board. The inspectors
determined that the applicant modified the breaker by attaching a Micarta plate to the rear of the breaker using 4 nuts and bolts to fit them in the power boards as described in example 1 without updating the qualification package. The inspectors determined the applicant did not analyze if any detrimental effects may have been introduced by the modification, demonstrate an adequate review for suitability of application, or the impact
on other components.
34 The inspectors reviewed calculation WCG-ACQ-1004, Rev. 1, used by the applicant to demonstrate qualification by analysis. The inspectors verified the calculation's purpose was to qualify the breakers and the calculation concluded the breakers were qualified. The calculation only determined the power board weight change and the shift in natural frequency of the power board and its effect on the power board floor anchor bolts. However, the calculation did not address the breaker performance during a seismic
event. The inspectors determined that the conclusion that the breakers were qualified was not validated by the calculation.
The inspectors reviewed problem evaluation report (PER) 227786 dated May 10, 2010 for the qualification findings identified by the inspectors. The inspectors determined that
the PER was inadequate. The PER characterized the seismic evaluation calculation WCG-ACQ-1004, Rev. 1 as having evaluated and addressed the seismic qualification of the breakers. The inspectors determined the calculation did not address the qualification of the breakers but rather the qualification of the floor anchor bolts of the power boards. The PER further stated that the breaker installation was in compliance with the 1992 qualification report S522-RP-02. The inspectors determined that the 1992 seismic qualification of the breakers did not envelope the breaker mounting method used for the
breakers in the power boards. The 1992 seismic qualification report did not envelope the breaker mounting method used either before or after the attribute changes imposed by the manufacturer occurred. The PER stated that the breakers are acceptable and the integrity of the breakers in the power boards is maintained. No further action was required by the applicant in the corrective actions of the PER. The inspectors
determined the PER did not address the effects that changes in attributes may impose on safety, verify the conclusions made in the above calculation, address the qualification of the breakers, or the different mounting method in the 1992 qualification report. The inspectors determined the PER failed to adequately address the findings identified and would not ensure that compliance was restored in a reasonable timeframe or prevent
recurrence in accordance with the enforcement policy.
Therefore, the criterion for a non-cited violation was not met and a Notice of Violation is warranted, requiring a formal response from the applicant.
Example 1 is more than minor because the finding represents a deviation that, if left
uncorrected, could adversely affect the environmental or seismic qualification of a component. Example 2 is more than minor because the violation represents an inadequate process, procedure, or quality oversight function that, if left uncorrected, could adversely affect the quality of the fabrication, construction, testing, analysis, or records of a safety-related component. The cause of this finding was directly related to
the decision-making component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the applicant failed to appropriately review safety significant decisions to verify the validity of the underlying assumptions and identify possible unintended consequences. H.1 (b) An unresolved item, URI-05000390/2009002-03, was identified on Unit 1 related to the adequacy of the same seismic qualification report for breakers associated with station 120VAC Vital Instrumentation Boards.
Enforcement: 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," states that measures shall be established for the review for suitability of application of materials, parts, and equipment that are essential to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems, and components (SSCs). The 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. Where a test program is used to verify the
35 adequacy of a specific design feature in lieu of other verifying or checking processes, it shall include suitable qualifications testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions.
Contrary to the above, measures used to review for the suitability of application of materials, parts, and equipment essential to the safety related functions of molded case
circuit breakers and measures to provide for the verification of checking the adequacy of design, such as, calculational methods, performing a suitable test program, including qualifications testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse conditions were not adequate in that:
1. On October 5, 2009, the applicant installed molded case breakers into the 120VAC vital instrument power boards, however, the test program used to qualify a prototype breaker failed to use a suitable mounting method that reflected the most adverse mounting condition.
2. On September 3, 2009, the applicant failed to perform an adequate review for suitability of application parts and material used to modify dimensional critical
characteristic in molded case breakers, and further, the applicant failed to verify the adequacy of design for the modification and the effects on essential safety related functions of the breakers.
This is identified as violation (VIO) 005000391/2010603-08, Failure to Adequately
Evaluate and Qualify Molded Case Circuit Breakers.
c. Conclusions
The applicant failed to verify the validity of the underlying assumptions and identify
possible unintended consequences resulting from inadequate qualification testing and a modification to a critical characteristic of the molded case circuit breakers used for safety related 120VAC power applications.
E.1.2 Engineering Design Activities and Design Control (IPs 35100 and 37055) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the implementation of design controls and the content of drawings, specifications, and instructions that had been verified, approved, and issued for construction. The reviews consisted of document reviews and interviews with responsible engineering personnel. The inspectors' reviews were conducted to verify the design documents were correctly incorporated into applicable design inputs, including a site-specific commitment to maintain fidelity to the associated Unit 1 designs. Inspectors evaluated whether designs were technically adequate, and that they had been reviewed, verified, approved, and controlled in accordance with NRC requirements and applicant's procedures. b. Observations and Findings
The inspectors identified the following NCV associated with EDCR 52424, Rev. B, Replace Level Transmitters for the Safety Injection System Cold Leg Accumulators:
Introduction: A SL IV NCV of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," was identified by the inspectors for a failure to correctly translate the design basis, as
36 described in a System Description Document, into affected drawings and specifications. Specifically, a design basis requirement to provide diverse level measurement systems for the Safety Injection System Accumulators was not correctly translated into affected specifications and drawings issued for construction. Description: The inspectors identified that Section 3.3.1 of System Description Document WBN2-63-4001, Rev.1, Safety Injection System, stated "Each CLA
[i.e. Cold Leg Accumulator] is provided with two diverse level measurement systems. Both systems are used to determine the operational readiness of the accumulators during steady state operations." TVA Nuclear Standard Department procedure NEDP-1, Rev. 5, "Design Basis and Design Input Control," Appendix D, identified System Description Documents as a
primary source for defining design inputs. The drawings and specifications released for construction under EDCR 52424 did not provide diverse level measurement systems for the Cold Leg Accumulators. Instead, the design documents provided duplicate level measurement systems. This configuration also differed from the Unit 1 design which contained diverse level measurement systems. The inspectors identified that the level measurement systems were required to implement Technical Specification Surveillance 3.5.1.2, and were classified as Quality-
Related and non-Safety Related. EDCR 52424 identified that differences existed between Unit 1 and Unit 2 on Attachment E, EDCR Unit Difference Form. Specifically, the EDCR stated that each accumulator on Unit 1 was provided a Rosemount Model 1152 DP level transmitter and an FCI Thermal Dispersion level element; whereas each accumulator on Unit 2 was provided two
Rosemount Model 1153 DD3RB transmitters. Although the EDCR documentation provided a justification for using a different model Rosemount transmitter on Unit 2 than installed on Unit 1, it did not provide a basis for specifying a different form and function of level sensor in comparison to the thermal dispersion devices provided for Unit 1. The inspectors noted this omission did not comply with a requirement in procedure 25402-
3DPG04G-00081, Engineering Document Construction Release, Section 7.2.4, which states that every unit difference must contain an evaluation which addresses differences in form, fit, or function. The inspectors also noted the EDCR contained a draft Revision to WBN-63-4001, System Description for Safety Injection System; however, neither the description of the
revision contained in the document nor the marked changes in Section 3.3.1 identified any intent to change the requirement for diverse level measurement systems. The violation was determined to be more than minor because the failure to correctly translate the design requirement from the System Description Document and the failure to properly evaluate the difference created with the Unit 1 design represented an
improper work practice which could impact the proper functioning of the Safety Injection System Accumulator level measurement system. A cross-cutting aspect was identified for this violation which was related to Human Performance - Work Practices (H.4 (b)). This aspect is applicable in that the applicant did not effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel following procedures.
The applicant issued PER 226246 to address this condition and other concerns with discrepancies in EDCR Technical Evaluations. Enforcement: 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires, in part, that measures are to be established to correctly translate the design basis into affected
37 drawings and specifications. TVA Nuclear Standard Department procedure NEDP-1, "Design Basis and Design Input Control," identifies System Description Documents as a primary source for defining design inputs. Contrary to the above, on May 21, 2010, the inspectors identified that the applicant failed to correctly translate a requirement for a diverse level measurement system into design drawings and specifications issued for construction under EDCR 52424, as specified in
System Description Document WBN2-63-4001, Safety Injection System. This finding was determined to be a SL IV violation using Supplement II of the Enforcement Policy. Because this was a SL IV violation, and because it was entered into the corrective action program under PER 226246, this violation is being treated as a NCV consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV
5000391/2010603-09, Failure to Correctly Translate the Design Basis into Affected Specifications and Drawings Issued for Construction. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that, in most cases, design drawings, specifications, and instructions were developed in accordance with NRC and applicant requirements. Design documents were provided specific approvals for differences that were created
between the Unit 2 design and the Unit 1 design. However, one violation was identified where a requirement to provide diverse level measurement systems for Safety Injection System Cold Leg Accumulators was not correctly translated into design documents.

IV. Other Activities
OA.1.1 (Discussed) Quality Assurance Corrective Action Program (TI 2512/28, IPs 50075, 51065, 51055, 52055)
a. Inspection Scope
Background: The QA Records Corrective Action Program (CAP) was developed in the mid-1980s after TVA determined that required QA records were:
- Not retrievable in a timely manner or were missing
- Not maintained in proper storage
- Incomplete, technically, or administratively deficient
The applicant has taken various actions to correct previously identified records
deficiencies. These actions included:
- Ensuring adequate storage and retrievability
- Resolving quality and technical problems
- Ensuring programs were established to prevent recurrence of previous record problems TVA selected a sample size of 124 records for each of the ANSI/ASME N45.2.9, 1974, Appendix record types for Unit 2 and utilized an accepted statistical sampling methodology (95/95). NRC Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) dated June 9, 1992, and September 8, 2009, approved the sampling methodology used by the applicant.
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's implementation of the QA Records CAP. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the results of sample assessments performed by the applicant in several areas to verify resolution of previously identified problems with retrievability, storage, and completeness and to resolve quality and technical problems.
Additionally, the inspectors performed an independent sample selection of 47 records which were shown on the applicant's Engineering Construction Monitoring and Documentation (ECM&D) database as active records for the following QA record types:
Mechanical Records (23 records)
- Valves (7 records)
- Mechanical Equipment (5 records)
- Piping (5 records)
- Ductwork (6 records)
40 Electrical/Instrument Records (24 records)
- Cables (6 records)
- Electrical Equipment (8 records)
- Instrument Subassemblies (4 records)
- Electrical Instruments (6 records)
Specific QA records and applicant sample assessment reports reviewed are listed in the attachment. The following samples were inspected:

b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The applicant was able to produce each of the above requested QA records from the Unit 2 records vault. The inspectors reviewed the original records and determined that the records were legible and complete.
The inspectors verified that TVA had adequately reviewed an appropriate size sample of each record type for mechanical and electrical/instrument records. Record-related discrepancies were properly identified and entered into the Corrective Action Program as appropriate. The applicant had not yet completed all planned QA record sample assessments at the end of the inspection period. Future QA record sample
assessments are planned for various civil, welding and system cleanliness record types.
c. Conclusions
The actions performed to resolve the issues associated with the QA Records CAP for Unit 2 mechanical and electrical/instrument records were found to be adequately planned and implemented. Additional NRC review of future applicant QA record
assessments will be needed prior to closure of this CAP.
OA.1.2 Corrective Action Plans and Special Programs Reviews (TI 2512/017, 025)
The inspectors held discussions with both TVA and Bechtel engineering and licensing
personnel regarding the actions planned to resolve the issues associated with the Cable Tray and Cable Tray Supports CAP, TI 2512/017, and HVAC Duct and Supports, CAP TI 2512/025. The initial meeting associated with these CAPs was held during previous inspection periods; however, the inspectors reviewed applicable documentation to plan future inspections in these areas.
41 The actions discussed covered the following areas as applicable:
- Walk-downs
- Engineering

OA.1.3 (Closed) Electrical Issues CAP Sub-issue: Adhesive Backed Cable Support Mount (TI 2512/020, IP 51063)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions to resolve the Electrical CAP Sub-Issue, Adhesive Backed Cable Support Mount, to confirm that the applicant's program complies
with all commitments and NRC requirements. The inspectors reviewed calculations, specification (G-38), EDCR, drawings, documentation of walk downs, and inspected a number of control panels in the Unit 2 Control Room. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors determined that all adhesive backed cable support mounts have been removed and replaced with cable ties and Ty-rap clamps to maintain separation inside panels and control cabinets to provide the physical restraint required by the specifications. The inspectors verified that redundant divisional train safety-related cables inside selected Main Control Room cabinets were placed in braided sleeves as called out in the specifications. c. Conclusions
This inspection concluded that concerns pertaining to the electrical CAP sub-issue, on adhesive backed cable mount supports, have been appropriately addressed for Watts Bar Unit 2.
OA.1.4 (Discussed) Cable Issues CAP Sub-Issue: Computerized Cable Routing System
Software and Database Verification and Validation (TI 2512/016)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the applicant's actions to resolve the Cable CAP Sub-Issue, Computerized Cable Routing System (CCRS) software and database verification and validation and to evaluate related activities to confirm that the applicant's program
complies with all commitments and NRC requirements. The inspectors reviewed documentation and scheduling to inspect signal tracing field activities associated with this sub-issue. The inspectors interviewed responsible design personnel and reviewed the "Environmental Qualification Cable Walkthroughs" that establishes the schedule for signal tracing field activities. Anomaly tables and action listings were reviewed to
establish reasonable assurance that data transfer from CCRS to ICRDS has been verified.
42 b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The applicant replaced CCRS with ICRDS and transferred the data, which included Unit 1 and 2 cables, to the new system. The inspectors determined that the applicant verified and validated the transfer of data into ICRDS in accordance with TVA QA procedures. Part of the Unit 2 verification methodology will be to signal trace all Environmental Qualification (EQ) and Appendix R
cables that are shown as installed in ICRDS, but do not have pull cards available (missing QA records). The purpose of the signal trace is to verify the routing and lengths of cables for comparison with information in ICRDS. Observations of signal tracing activities are discussed in Section C.1.6.
Conclusions
The inspectors determined that further inspection will be required to verify acceptable completion of the CAP Sub-Issue, ICRDS software and database verification and validation. OA.1.5 (Discussed) Station Blackout (SBO) Rule Procedures and Actions (TI 2515/120)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed design activities associated with implementation of the SBO requirements for Unit 2. The inspectors examined planned and in-process actions to confirm Unit 2 actions paralleled the actions implemented on Unit 1 and to determine whether the Unit 2 actions were technically valid, and were implemented in accordance with NRC and applicant requirements. The inspectors interviewed the responsible engineering representatives to determine the applicant's status toward completion of the SBO rule requirements. The inspectors reviewed design calculations EPMMA041592 Rev. 10, "SBO Coping Evaluation," to determine the applicant's required SBO time period and actions necessary to cope with an the event. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed EDQ00023620070003 Rev. 5, "125V
DC Vital Battery System Analysis," to determine the adequacy of the applicant's 125V DC batteries and chargers. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors' interviews and reviews of design calculations determined that the applicant has not completed the as-built design
calculations, procedures, and action requirements. The applicant's intent is to parallel Unit 1 SBO requirements. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that further inspection will be required to verify acceptable completion of SBO procedures and processes.
OA.1.6 (Discussed) Non-cited Violation NCV-391/2008-010-01 Corrective Action for
Failure to Document a Cable Raceway Separation Non-conforming Condition. a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed documentation, performed an independent walk down, and interviewed responsible personnel related to the Unit 2 corrective action plan associated with NCV-391/2008-010-01 for failure to document non-conforming cable raceways. The inspectors reviewed PER 158979 to determine the corrective action plan taken by the applicant. The inspectors reviewed walk down procedure WDP-GEN-1 package
43 number LSWDP-430 to determine the extent of condition found by the applicant. The inspectors performed an independent walk down of a portion of the facility to verify the adequacy of the applicant findings. The inspectors interviewed engineering personnel responsible for implementing the extent of condition walk down to determine the synthesis of the corrective action plan and extent of condition.
b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
The inspectors' independent walk down and interviews with applicant personnel determined that corrective actions were adequate with the exception of non safety raceways associated with safety race ways and conduits and their traceability between
divisions, which could not be verified. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that further inspection will be required to verify acceptable closure of the NCV. The inspection of the associated raceways could not be completed during this inspection.
OA.1.7 (Closed) NRC Generic Letter (GL) 2007-01, Inaccessible or Underground Power Cable Failures that Disable Accident Mitigation Systems or Cause Plant Transients. a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the TVA's actions in response to GL 07-01 including Response Letter dated September 7, 2007 - Attachment 22 identifying the extent of the scope
covering 24 pump feeder cables. The inspectors reviewed ICRDS cable reports on safety-related control cables running underground to address similar concerns of disabling accident mitigating systems. The inspectors reviewed wiring diagram drawings and conduit & grounding detail drawings associated with the underground control cables. b. Observations and Findings
This generic issue identified that cables, qualified for 40 years through the equipment qualification program, were failing at several nuclear stations prior to the end of their qualified life. In an effort to address this issue, the NRC published Generic Letter 2007-01. At Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, twenty of the 24 feeders that fall under this category are either Unit 1 or are common to both units and are already in service. The remaining four
feeders are the Unit 2 Condenser Circulation Water (CCW) pump non safety-related cables that the applicant has scheduled for testing prior to fuel load. Based on the results of this inspection, this GL is closed for Unit 2. c. Conclusions
Based on the results of this inspection, Generic Letter 2007-01 is closed for Unit 2. The only four remaining feeder cables left as part of the response to the generic letter are the Unit 2 CCW pump feeders, which are non safety-related and are scheduled to be tested.
OA.1.8 (Discussed) Inspection of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Master Fuse List Special Program (TI 2512/037) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed design activities associated with implementation of the Master Fuse List (MFL) Special Program for Unit 2. The inspectors evaluated planned and in-process activities to confirm Unit 2 actions paralleled the actions implemented on Unit 1;
44 and to determine whether the Unit 2 actions were technically valid and were implemented in accordance with NRC and applicant requirements. The inspectors interviewed responsible design personnel and reviewed documents related to the Unit 2 implementation plan. The information was compared to actions taken on Unit 1 as described in the Watts Bar SER (NUREG 0847), the Watts Bar Nuclear Performance Plan, and the Watts Bar Unit 1 CAPs/SPs Closure Book. b. Observations and Findings
The Unit 2 implementation plans were found to be generally consistent with the scope of the Unit 1 MFL Special Program. The inspectors made the following observations about the key elements of the Unit 2 Special Program: 1) Establishment and maintenance of a field-verified Master Fuse List
Consistent with the Unit 1 Special Program, the inspectors found that requirements for Unit 2 fuses were formally defined in Design Criteria WB-DC-30-05, WB-DC-30-27, and WB-DC-30-28. The design criteria were applicable to both units and were controlled according to TVA Nuclear procedure NEDP-1, "Design Basis and Design Input Control." A review of EDCRs 52324, 54796, and 54798 determined that design engineering had developed coordinated fuse applications and had specified fuse types, fuse sizes, and fuse ratings. The requirements were formally input into a master list of fuses (i.e. Fuse Tabulations) in the Master Equipment List (MEL). The inspectors' review of EDCR 52324 verified that, consistent with Unit 1, vendor-supplied fuses were controlled in the MEL for those instances where the
fuses were credited for protection of safety-related items. A review of TVA procedure SPP-9.6, "Master Equipment List," verified the control of the MEL information system was guided by a written procedure, and was applicable to both Unit 1 and Unit 2. A review of TVA Operations procedure OPDP-7, "Fuse Control," verified that controls had been established to maintain correct fuse configurations after equipment turnover from construction. The controls were applicable to both Unit 1 and Unit 2. The inspectors noted that the Unit 1 program called for field walk-downs by the applicant to verify correct installations of Special Program fuses; however,
interviews with responsible applicant personnel indicated that the construction project had not yet progressed to the point where the fuses have been installed. Thus, the applicant had not yet implemented plans to field-verify the correct installation of fuses on Unit 2. Further, interviews with responsible applicant personnel indicated the fuse tabulations in the MEL will not be appended to the
permanent equipment information system (MAXIMO) until after the as-installed fuse configurations are verified. 2) Correction of deficiencies with misapplication of Bussmann KAZ actuators
The inspectors' review of electrical calculations WBNEEBEDQ00299920080019 and WBNEEBMSTI0070005 verified that the applicant has identified applications using KAZ actuators and, consistent with Unit 1, has specified replacement fuses that were electrically coordinated with the associated distribution systems. Requirements for the replacement fuses were formally input to the Fuse Tabulations of the MEL as documented in EDCR 54798.
45 The inspectors' interviews with responsible applicant personnel indicated that the construction project had not progressed to the point where replacement fuses for KAZ actuators could be physically installed on Unit 2. Accordingly, the applicant was not ready to field-verify the correct installations of replacement fuses as done under the Unit 1 Special Program. 3) Correction of deficiencies with redundant protection for electrical penetration
assemblies.
The inspectors' review of calculation WBNEEBEDQ00299920080019 verified the calculation specified redundant protection for electrical penetration assemblies to prevent damage from fault currents or overload conditions. The calculation documented that the analyzed configurations were based upon reviews of as-
designed drawings and ultimately were to be compared to as-constructed or configuration controlled drawings. The inspectors determined that the analyzed capabilities of the penetration assemblies were documented and demonstrated to be able to withstand the analyzed fault currents. Also, the calculation demonstrated the coordination of electrical protection devices associated with the penetration assemblies. The inspectors determined that the requirements for the electrical penetration assembly fuses were formally input to the Fuse Tabulations
of the MEL as documented in EDCR 54798. Because the construction project had not progressed to the point where the new fuse configurations have been installed, inspectors did not perform a verification of correct installation. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed for the MFL Special Program are still in process and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion. In this inspection, the inspectors obtained sufficient samples to verify that a master list of fuses was being configured in the MEL; however, the permanent fuse list had not been updated. Inspectors verified that provisions have been made to replace KAZ actuators,
and that design requirements have been developed to provide redundant protection of electrical penetration assemblies. However, the applicant had not yet installed the Special Program fuses on Unit 2, and had not conducted field verifications of the as-installed configurations. Further inspection will be required to verify effective implementation and completion of the Special Program.
OA.1.9 (Discussed) NRC Bulletins 74-15, "Misapplication of Cutler-Hammer Three
Position Maintained Switch Model No. 10250T"; 75-03, "Incorrect Lower Disc Spring and Clearance Dimension in Series 8300 and 8302 ASCO Solenoid Valves"; and 75-06, "Defective Westinghouse Type OT-2 Control Switches" a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the responses from the applicant regarding all three NRC Bulletins. The inspectors reviewed historical NRC inspection reports, response letters, and tracking records. The inspectors interviewed TVA engineers responsible for compliance with the individual bulletins to understand what activities had been performed. The documents reviewed in response to each of the NRC Bulletins were: 1)Bulletin 74-15; the inspectors reviewed NRC inspection reports 50-390/75-5 and 50-391/75-5, response letter T90 080128 001, and tracking record NCO080008070. 2)Bulletin 75-03; the inspectors reviewed NRC inspection reports 50-390/75-6 and 50-391/75-6, response letter T90 080128 001, and tracking record NCO080008030.
46 3)Bulletin 75-06; the inspectors reviewed NRC inspection reports 50-390/85-25 and 50-391/85-20, response letter T02 080320 001, and tracking record 10187136. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors made the following observations about each electrical component and system: 1) Interviews conducted by the inspectors with TVA and Bechtel engineers, responsible for compliance with this bulletin, revealed that TVA plans to replace existing Cutler-Hammer model 10250T switch with the new Eaton 10250T switch and to environmentally qualify existing Eaton 10250T switches. 2) Discussions with licensing and engineering personnel overseeing compliance to Bulletin 75-03 revealed that the intent was to replace all associated valves instead of modification. 3) The original applicant response letter for Bulletin 75-06 stated that the only action would be to inspect these switches. Licensing and engineering personnel indicated that the applicant will be refurbishing functional control switches and replacing inadequate control switches. In all three cases the applicant has not yet prepared design modification packages for this work. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed to correct the misapplication of the Cutler-Hammer three position switches, incorrect lower disc spring and clearance dimension in Series 8300 and 8302 ASCO solenoid valves, and defective Westinghouse
Type OT-2 control switches are still in process and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion. OA.1.10 (Discussed) NRC Bulletin 76-02, Relay Coil Failures - General Electric Type HFA,
HGA, HKA, and HMA Relays a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the response from the applicant regarding NRC Bulletin 76-02, "Relay Coil Failures - GE Type HFA, HGA, HKA, and HMA Relays." The inspectors reviewed the applicant's response letter T02 080320 001 and tracking record 10187197. The inspectors interviewed the TVA and Bechtel engineers responsible for compliance
with this bulletin to understand what activities had been achieved. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The responsible engineer for this effort informed the inspectors that 14 of these relays were safety-related and that the entire population would be replaced with the current version of the same relay. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed to correct relay coil failures for GE type HFA, HGA, HKA, HMA relays are still in process and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion.
47 OA.1.11 (Discussed) Violation 391/86-02-01; Failure to Follow Procedures that Resulted in Improperly Installed Solenoid Valves a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the response from the applicant regarding NRC Violation 86-02-01, "10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Failure to Follow Procedures." The inspectors reviewed the historical NRC reports 50-390/86-02 and 50-391/86-02, as well
as the applicant's response letter to Violation 86-02-01, tracking record NCO860152003, and PER 143711. The inspectors interviewed the TVA and Bechtel engineers responsible for resolution of this violation to understand what activities had been achieved. b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. Actions required to resolve this violation for Unit 2 have not been completed. An updated response to the violation dated June 12, 1995 sent to the NRC (Applicant tracking number T04950612145 - WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT (WBN) - REVISED RESPONSE TO VIOLATION 50-390, 391/86-02-01, FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURE AND REVISED FINAL REPORT FOR CDRs 50-390/85-52 AND 50-391/86-14) outlined the proposed solution to modify the solenoid valve mounts to
become compliant through vendor-approved instructions or justification to use "as-is". c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed to correct this violation have not been performed and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion. OA.1.12 (Discussed) Inspection of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Radiation Monitoring System Special Program (TI 2512/041) a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed design activities associated with implementation of the Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) Special Program for Unit 2. The inspectors
examined planned and in-process actions to confirm Unit 2 actions paralleled the actions implemented on Unit 1; and to determine whether the Unit 2 actions results were technically valid, and were implemented in accordance with NRC and applicant requirements. The inspectors interviewed responsible design personnel and reviewed program documentation related to the Unit 2 implementation plan. The information was
compared to actions taken on Unit 1 as described in the Watts Bar SER (NUREG 0847), the Watts Bar Nuclear Performance Plan, and the Watts Bar Unit 1 CAPs/SPs Closure Book. b. Observations and Findings
The Unit 2 activities were found to be generally consistent with the scope of the Unit 1 RMS Special Program. The inspectors made the following determinations about the key elements of the Unit 2 Special Program: 1) Establishment and maintenance of formally defined design criteria
The inspectors' review of RMS Design Criteria, WB-DC-40-24, determined the document implemented the Special Program commitment to formally define RMS design requirements and to incorporate the requirements of NRC Regulatory
Guide 1.97. The design criteria were applicable to both units. In addition,
48 inspectors found that design criteria documents were controlled according to TVA Nuclear procedure NEDP-1, "Design Basis and Design Input Control." 2) Correction of deficiencies with RMS sample lines
Design actions to correct deficiencies with radiation monitoring system sampling lines were still in process. No samples were yet available for NRC inspection. 3) Correction of deficiencies with RMS hardware
The inspectors evaluated design measures for the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors as defined in EDCR 2-52342. Consistent with the Special Program actions implemented for Unit 1, the Unit 2 EDCR and its supporting calculations were found to define range and accuracy requirements in accordance with the specifications for Type "E" variables contained in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97. The EDCR documented that the Unit 2 design had no equipment differences or operating differences with Unit 1. Inspectors noted a companion design change, Design Change Notice (DCN) 51154, was incorporated into the EDCR that changed the radiation monitors' reset logic following loss of power to the monitors. The design change was appropriately justified, was reviewed and approved by designated authority, and was applied to both units. Interviews with responsible management indicated the procurement of the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors was still in process, and the monitors have not yet been received or installed. No other designs for Special Program radiation monitors were issued at the time of this inspection. 4) Correction of omissions in documenting calibrations of RMS devices
Actions to correct deficiencies with documenting primary calibrations of radiation monitor were still in process. No samples were available for NRC inspection. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed for the RMS Special Program were still in process and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion.
The inspectors verified that formal design criteria had been established for the Unit 2 radiation monitoring system. The inspectors reviewed one of the Special Program measures to correct hardware deficiencies. No significant issues were identified; however, further inspection will be required to evaluate correct installation of design features. Also, additional reviews of hardware designs will be required to determine
acceptable implementation of this element of the RMS Special Program. The Special Program elements associated with deficient sample lines and primary calibrations were still in process and not available for inspection. Further inspection will be required to verify effective implementation of the Special Program.
OA.1.13 (Discussed) Applicant Actions on Three Mile Island (TMI) Action Items a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed Unit 2 design activities associated with TMI Action Items and for the following electrical components and systems: 1) Acoustic Monitoring Valve position indication, 2) emergency power for pressurizer heaters, 3) power supplies for pressurizer relief valves, block valves, level indicators, and 4) emergency power associated with coolant pump seals. Unit 2 design activities associated with hydrogen
igniter backup power were also reviewed for consistency with Generic Safety Issue-189
49 (GI-189) requirements. The inspectors assessed whether TMI or GI-189 actions including NRC requirements and SAR commitments were properly translated into drawings, design change packages, procedures, and other electrical component design documentation and whether the design was adequately controlled. The inspectors observed and evaluated storage activities and conditions for electrical components to determine whether components were stored in the proper storage level
designation, properly identified, and that storage environmental conditions and requirements were controlled and monitored as specified by the applicable manufacturer specification. The inspectors reviewed applicant and contractor monitoring activities to determine if they were being performed in accordance with procedural requirements. The inspectors reviewed documentation received with components relative to quality
requirements to assure manufacturer requirements were met. The inspectors reviewed storage procedure, "Bechtel Field Material Storage Control No. 25402-PRO-0007," to determine if it provided a means to assure that proper storage environments were established for various types of electrical components and met applicable storage classification levels regardless of location of stored component. The inspectors reviewed design drawings and documents and interviewed responsible design personnel related to this inspection scope. The design information was reviewed
for actions taken on Unit 2 required in NUREG 0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements." The Unit 2 planned or in-process activities were also compared to actions taken on Unit 1 as a result of the TMI requirements to determine whether the Unit 2 actions were technically valid and were implemented in accordance with NRC and applicant requirements. Additionally, the inspectors evaluated actions planned or in-process for the following TMI Action Items: Noble Gas Monitors (TMI II.F.1.2.A), Iodine Particulate Sampling (TMI II.F.1.2.A), Containment High Range Monitoring (TMI II.F.1.2.C), and In-Plant Radiation Monitoring (TMI III.D.3.3). b. Observations and Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors made the following observations about each electrical component and system: 1) Valve Position Indication of Acoustic Monitoring on PORVs (TMI Action Item II.D.3) The inspectors reviewed EDCR 52409, "Replacement of Equipment required for Unit 2 Acoustic Monitoring system." Since Unit 1 has already completed the required TMI Actions, the Unit 2 design parallels Unit 1. Types of new components that were installed in Unit 1 are planned to be installed in Unit 2 per EDCR 52409. The inspectors determined that the design change package was in
accordance with Procedure SPP-9.3, "Plant Modification & Engineering Change Control," and design changes were technically valid. The design had not progressed to the point of installation of the Acoustic Monitors on Unit 2. Therefore, the inspectors were unable to verify the correct installation of Acoustic Monitor level indication components on Unit 2. Procurement documentation for Acoustic Monitors and electrical components (PO#: 00049277) was reviewed for adherence to manufacturer's storage
specifications and applicant requirements. Five samples of electrical components were inspected for proper storage in the warehouse. The electrical components were stored in the proper storage level designation and were
50 properly identified by the correct labels, part numbers, and serial numbers on the receipt inspection label. Storage conditions and requirements were controlled and monitored as specified by the applicable specification and manufacturer, and in-place storage requirements were satisfied. 2) Emergency Power for Pressurizer (PZR) Heaters (TMI Action Item: II.E.3.1) / Power Supplies for PZR Relief Valves, Block Valves, & Level Indicators (TMI Action Item: II.G.1) / Power from Emergency Diesel Generator on Reactor Coolant Pump seals (TMI Action Item: II.K.3.25)
According to the drawings, the design for Unit 2 PZR heater emergency power, power supplies for PZR relief and block valves, level indicators, and power from emergency diesel generator for reactor coolant pump seals is identical to the Unit
1 design. TMI actions, NRC requirements and SAR commitments were properly translated into design drawings for adequate control and installation of electrical components. Through interviews with responsible applicant personnel, the inspectors determined that there was no other design documentation to review because there were no planned design change activities taking place on the Unit 2, and the design had not progressed to the point of installation on Unit 2. Therefore, the inspectors were unable to verify the correct installation of the PZR
heater components on Unit 2. 3) Back-up Power for Hydrogen Igniters (GI-189 and TI 2515/174)
The inspectors reviewed EDCR 52348, complete installation/refurbish of Hydrogen Mitigation System in Unit 2. The inspectors determined that the design change package was in accordance with Procedure SPP-9.3, design changes
were technically valid, and the Unit 2 design of hydrogen igniters parallels Unit 1. New hydrogen igniters will be installed on Unit 2 per EDCR 52348.
Procurement documentation for Hydrogen Igniters and electrical components (PO#: 00070570) was reviewed for adherence to manufacturer's storage
specifications and applicant requirements. Two samples of electrical components were inspected for proper storage in the warehouse. The electrical components were stored in the proper storage level designation and were properly identified by the correct labels, part numbers, and serial numbers on the receipt inspection label. Storage conditions and requirements were controlled
and monitored as specified by the applicable specification and manufacturer, and in-place storage requirements were satisfied. The design of the backup power supply for hydrogen igniters per GI-189 and TI 2515/174 commitments could not be verified from design documentation reviewed for Unit 2. The inspectors determined, from interviews with the
applicant, that Unit 1 has developed procedures to support the temporary connection of a backup power supply to hydrogen igniters; however, the Unit 2 design activities have not progressed to incorporate any of the GI-189 requirements into the Unit 2 design, or to the point of installation of the hydrogen igniters. c. Conclusions
The inspectors determined that the activities committed to for the previously mentioned TMI actions and GI-189 requirements are still in process or not available for review, and will require further inspection to verify acceptable completion. Inspectors were able to obtain sufficient samples of electrical components to verify that storage requirements were met and manufacturer specifications were followed. Design packages and/or
51 drawings were also verified for adherence to SAR commitments and requirements. On each system, the applicant had not yet installed the necessary components on Unit 2 in accordance with TMI actions and GI-189, so further inspection will be required to verify effective implementation and completion of the TMI Action Items and GI-189 commitments.
