SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Inspection Report 05000341/2014003; 04/01/2014 - 06/30/2014; Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2;
Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments, In-Plant Airborne Radioactivity Control and Mitigation, Identification and Resolution of Problems.
This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. Three Green findings, two of which had an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of the NRC regulations, were identified. The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., greater than Green, or Green, White,
Yellow, Red) and determined using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Significance Determination Process, dated June 2, 2011. Cross-cutting aspects are determined using IMC 0310, Components Within the Cross-Cutting Areas, dated December 19, 2013. All violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy dated July 9, 2013. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process Revision 5, dated February 2014.
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance. Upon discovery that surveillance testing procedures for safety-related batteries had not fully satisfied the applicable Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements (TSSRs), the licensee incorrectly used the provision of TSSR 3.0.3 to not declare the applicable Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) not met and enter the appropriate condition(s), as required by TSSR 3.0.1 and Technical Specification (TS) 3.0.2, without considering the distinction between a missed surveillance versus a never-performed surveillance. Because the licensee subsequently completed the battery surveillance satisfactorily and the required actions of TS 3.8.5 Condition were fortuitously met, no violation of TS 3.02 or TS 3.8.5 was identified. The licensee entered this performance deficiency into its corrective action program for evaluation and identification of appropriate corrective actions.
The finding was of more than minor significance because a failure to correctly implement LCO and surveillance requirements has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected. Specifically, a failure to declare an LCO not met, enter the applicable condition(s), and follow the applicable actions could reasonably result in operations outside of established safety margins or analyses. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because adequate mitigation capability remained, and the issue did not involve a loss of inventory control. The issue also did not involve an actual loss of function of the direct current electrical power system because battery terminal connection resistance measurements were acceptable when subsequently performed. The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance because a conservative bias in decision making was not demonstrated by the licensees assumption that TSSR 3.0.3 would apply to the never-performed surveillances (H.14). Prior to applying TSSR 3.0.3, the licensee did not appropriately consider the distinction between a late versus a never-performed surveillance and had not prepared a basis to conclude the surveillances had been adequately demonstrated outside of routine surveillances. The licensees position paper one month after the fact rationalized the assumption without providing objective quality evidence to support its conclusion. (Section 1R15.b.)
- Green.
A finding of very low safety significance with an associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a was self-revealed on February 6, 2014, when the Division 2 emergency equipment cooling water (EECW) system and its supported systems were inadvertently rendered inoperable. Control Room operators incorrectly positioned the Division 2 EECW isolation override switch to manual override while attempting to place the system in its normal standby configuration, disabling the systems automatic initiation function. The licensee promptly restored the affected systems to an operable status by returning the override switch back to normal. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program for evaluation and additional corrective actions.
The finding was of more than minor significance since it was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage).
Specifically, the mis-positioned control switch rendered the Division 2 EECW system and its supported systems inoperable. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance during a detailed quantitative Significance Determination Process review since the delta core damage frequency was determined to be less than 1.0E-7/year using the NRC Standardized Plant Analysis Risk model. The inspectors concluded this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance since adequate licensee personnel work practices did not support successful human performance (H.12). Specifically, human error prevention techniques, such as pre-job briefing and peer checking, were not adequately used to ensure that the correct procedure section was performed.
(Section 4OA2.2.b.)
Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety
- Green.
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(4)(vii) for defeating a safety feature for the Mururoa V4 MTH2 air-supplied suit (Delta Suit) Respirator, i.e., placement of tape over an escape zipper. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Assessment Resolution Document 14-21795. The licensee is currently evaluating necessary changes to its program.
The performance deficiency was determined to be of more than minor safety significance in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, because it was associated with the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure worker health and safety from exposure to radioactive material. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding had very low safety significance because the finding did not involve: (1) as-low-as-is-reasonably achievable planning or work controls, or (2) an overexposure, or (3) a substantial potential for an overexposure, or (4) a compromised ability to assess dose. The inspectors identified that the primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of human performance with the aspect of documentation (H.7). Specifically, the licensee failed to create and maintain documentation that is consistent with manufacturer recommendations. The licensee did not ensure the procedure used for this activity was current. (Section 2RS3.1.b.)
REPORT DETAILS
Summary of Plant Status
Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, was operating at about 20 percent power at the beginning of the inspection period. The licensee had performed a reactor startup from the Cycle 16 refueling outage on March 27, 2014, and was troubleshooting a problem affecting the main generator voltage regulator. The unit was operated at or near full power during the inspection period with the following exceptions:
- On April 5, the licensee synchronized the unit to the electrical grid, completing a 54-day refueling outage. On April 6, when the unit reached 90 percent power, an oil leak was identified on one of the two main power transformers. The licensee reduced power to about 80 percent pending evaluation of the transformer oil leak. The unit was subsequently operated at about 83 percent until April 15 when the licensee began a power reduction for a planned maintenance outage.
- On April 16, the licensee removed the unit from service for a planned maintenance outage to replace one of two main power transformers and complete additional maintenance.
- On April 21, the licensee performed a reactor startup and synchronized the unit to the electrical grid on April 23. The unit reached 98.4 percent power on April 24, and reached 100 percent power on May 5 following testing associated with a 1.6 percent measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) unit power uprate license amendment.
- On May 15, the licensee reduced power to about 90 percent to perform a control rod pattern adjustment. The unit was returned to 100 percent power later that day.
- On May 18, the licensee reduced power to about 65 percent to perform data collection for reactor recirculation pump flow adjustments. The unit was returned to 100 percent power later that day.
- On May 28, the licensee reduced power to about 90 percent to set mechanical limits for the reactor recirculation pump motor generator sets. The unit was returned to 100 percent power later that day.
- On May 31, the licensee reduced power to about 68 percent to perform a control rod pattern adjustment and main turbine control/stop valve surveillance testing. The unit was returned to 100 percent power the following day.
REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity
1R01 Adverse Weather Protection
.1 Readiness of Offsite and Alternate AC [Alternating Current] Power Systems
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensees plant features and procedures for operation and continued availability of offsite and alternate AC power systems. The inspectors interviewed plant personnel and reviewed the licensees communications protocols between the Transmission System Operator (TSO) and the plant to verify the appropriate information was being exchanged when issues arose that could impact the offsite power system. Aspects considered in the inspectors review included:
- The actions to be taken when notified by the TSO that the post-trip voltage of the offsite power system at the plant will not be acceptable to assure the continued operation of the safety-related loads without transferring to the onsite power supply;
- The compensatory actions identified to be performed if it is not possible to predict the post-trip voltage at the plant for the current grid conditions;
- The required re-assessment of plant risk based on maintenance activities that could affect grid reliability, or the ability of the transmission system to provide offsite power; and
- The required communications between the plant and the TSO when changes at the plant could impact the transmission system, or when the capability of the transmission system to provide adequate offsite power is challenged.
During the week of May 12 through 16, the inspectors performed a walkdown of the switchyards to observe the material condition of the offsite power sources and also reviewed the status of outstanding work orders (WOs) to assess whether corrective actions for any degraded conditions were scheduled with the TSO with the appropriate priority.
In addition, the inspectors verified issues related to the availability and reliability of the offsite and alternate AC power systems were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected condition assessment resolution documents (CARDs) were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted one offsite and alternate AC power systems readiness inspection sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.01.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Readiness for Impending Hot Summer Weather Conditions
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensees preparations for hot summer weather conditions, focusing on the supplemental closed cooling water (SCCW) and the Reactor Building closed cooling water (RBCCW) systems. During the weeks of May 18 through 24 and May 25 through 31, the inspectors performed a detailed review of severe weather and plant de-winterization procedures and performed general area plant walkdowns. The inspectors focused on plant-specific design features and implementation of procedures for responding to or mitigating the effects of hot summer weather conditions on the operation of the plant. The inspectors reviewed system health reports and system engineering summer readiness review documents for the above systems.
In addition, the inspectors verified that adverse weather-related issues were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify that corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted one seasonal extreme weather-readiness inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.01.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R04 Equipment Alignment
.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed partial system walkdowns of the following risk significant systems:
- High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) (single train risk significant system);
- Emergency Equipment Cooling Water (EECW) and Emergency Equipment Service Water (EESW) Division 2 during planned maintenance on EECW, EESW, and Control Center Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (CCHVAC)
Division 1; and
- Core Spray (CS) Division 1 during planned maintenance on CS Division 2.
The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones. The inspectors reviewed operating procedures, system diagrams, Technical Specification (TS) requirements, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were available. The inspectors observed operating parameters and examined the material condition of the equipment to verify there were no obvious deficiencies.
In addition, the inspectors verified equipment alignment problems were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted three partial system walkdown inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.04.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Semi-Annual Complete System Walkdown
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the emergency diesel generators (EDGs) to verify the functional capability of the on-site emergency AC power system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety significant and risk significant in the licensees probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the EDGs to review mechanical and electrical equipment lineups, electrical power availability, pressure and temperature indications, component labeling, component lubrication, component and equipment cooling, hangers and supports, operability of support systems, and to ensure ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding WOs was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function.
The inspectors used the guidance contained in Operating Experience Smart Sample (OpESS) FY2008-01, Negative Trend and Recurring Events Involving Emergency Diesel Generators, during this inspection to focus attention on the licensees assessment and resolution of vibration-induced failure of EDG piping and tubing.
This inspection constituted one complete system walkdown inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.04.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R05 Fire Protection
.1 Routine Resident Inspector Tours
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors conducted fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk significant plant areas:
- Turbine Building Basement, Standby Feedwater System Area;
- Turbine Building Basement, Pipe Tunnel;
- Turbine Building Second Floor Mezzanine, Third 52 Manifold Area;
- Torus Room, Bottom Floor;
- Auxiliary Building Fourth Floor, Computer Room and Ventilation Area Above Control Room; and
- Auxiliary Building Fifth Floor, Division 2 CCHVAC Room.
The inspectors reviewed these fire areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensees Fire Protection Plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plants Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plants ability to respond to a security event. The inspectors verified fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed; transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition.
In addition, the inspectors verified fire protection related problems were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted six quarterly fire protection inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05AQ.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R06 Flooding
.1 Internal Flooding
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed selected plant design features and licensee procedures intended to protect the plant and its safety-related equipment from internal flooding events. The inspectors reviewed flooding analyses and design documents, including the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), engineering calculations, and abnormal operating procedures to identify licensee commitments. In addition, the inspectors reviewed licensee drawings to identify areas and equipment that may be affected by internal flooding caused by the failure or misalignment of nearby sources of water, such as the fire suppression or the service water systems.
The inspectors performed a walkdown of accessible portions of the following plant areas to assess the adequacy of watertight doors and verify drains and sumps were clear of debris and were functional, and the licensee complied with its commitments:
- Reactor Building Sub-Basement, Northeast and Southeast Quadrants, and HPCI Pump Room.
In addition, the inspectors verified internal flooding related problems were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled This inspection constituted one internal flooding inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.06.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R07 Heat Sink Performance
.1 Annual Heat Sink Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensees examination of the EDG 13 jacket water, lube oil, and air cooler heat exchangers. The inspectors assessed the as-found and as-left condition of the heat exchangers by direct observation and document reviews to verify that no deficiencies existed that would adversely impact the heat exchangers ability to transfer heat to the EDG service water system and to ensure that the licensee was adequately addressing problems that could affect the performance of the heat exchangers. The inspectors observed portions of inspection and cleaning activities, eddy current tube examination activities, and reviewed documentation to verify that the inspection acceptance criteria specified in procedure MES 54, Heat Exchanger Component Monitoring Program, Revision 4, were satisfactorily met.
This inspection constituted one annual heat sink performance inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.07.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program
.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review of Licensed Operator Requalification
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed licensed operators during evaluated simulator training on June 10. The inspectors assessed the operators response to the simulated events focusing on alarm response, command and control of crew activities, communication practices, procedural adherence, and implementation of Emergency Plan requirements.
The inspectors also observed the post-training critique to assess the ability of the licensees evaluators and the operating crew to self-identify performance deficiencies.
The crews performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.
The inspectors used the guidance contained in OpESS FY2010-02, Sample Selections for Reviewing Licensed Operator Examinations and Training Conducted on the Plant-Referenced Simulator, during this inspection to focus attention on the licensees training for complex transients and/or complicated scrams.
This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator requalification program simulator inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.11.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Resident Inspector Quarterly Observation of Heightened Activity or Risk
a. Inspection Scope
On March 28, the inspectors observed licensed operators in the Control Room remove the residual heat removal (RHR) system from shutdown cooling mode and start reactor recirculation pumps in preparation for plant startup from the refueling outage. In addition, on April 24, the inspectors observed licensed operators in the Control Room perform a brief plant down power for a control rod pattern adjustment and recovery from loss of heater drain pumps during ascension to full power following startup from a planned maintenance outage. These activities required heightened awareness, additional detailed planning, and involved increased operational risk. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:
- licensed operator performance;
- crews clarity and formality of communications;
- ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;
- prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;
- correct use and implementation of procedures;
- control board (or equipment) manipulations;
- oversight and direction from supervisors; and
- ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions.
The performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations, procedural compliance, and task completion requirements.
This inspection constituted one quarterly licensed operator heightened activity/risk inspection sample as defined in IP 71111.11.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensee's handling of selected degraded performance issues involving the following risk significant structures, systems, and components (SSCs):
- CARD 13-28248, Trip of South Condenser Pump Forces Unplanned Reactor Downpower;
- CARD 14-20891, Received 3D18 Integrated Process Computer System Monitored Inputs Abnormal for Point C11DC0129 Rod Position Information System Inoperative; and
- CARD 13-25913, Found Marriage Block Separated from Actuator.
The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the SSCs. Specifically, the inspectors independently verified the licensee's handling of SSC performance or condition problems in terms of:
- appropriate work practices;
- identifying and addressing common cause failures;
- scoping of SSCs in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b);
- characterizing SSC reliability issues;
- tracking SSC unavailability;
- trending key parameters (condition monitoring);
- 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification and reclassification; and
- appropriateness of performance criteria for SSC functions classified (a)(2) and/or appropriateness and adequacy of goals and corrective actions for SSC functions classified (a)(1).
In addition, the inspectors verified problems associated with the effectiveness of plant maintenance were entered into the licensee's corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted three quarterly maintenance effectiveness inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.12.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk significant and safety-related equipment listed below to verify the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:
- Planned maintenance during the week of April 6-12 including Division 2 EDG, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) logic functional testing, and Reactor Water Cleanup system differential flow testing;
- Planned maintenance during the week of May 5-9 including the Division 2 Switchgear and Battery Charger Room Coolers, #3 General Service Water Pump, and Measurement Uncertainty Recapture (MUR) power uprate testing;
- Planned and emergent maintenance during the week of May 12-16 on EDG 11, control rod blade recovery in the Spent Fuel Pool, and severe weather;
- Emergent maintenance during the week of May 19-24 on EDG 11; and
- Planned maintenance during the week of June 23-27 on the Division 1 CS system.
These activities were selected based on their potential risk significance relative to the Reactor Safety Cornerstones. As applicable for each of the above activities, the inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work in the plants daily schedule, reviewed Control Room logs, verified plant risk assessments were completed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) prior to commencing maintenance activities, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensees Probabilistic Risk Analyst and/or Shift Technical Advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment assumptions. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify risk analysis assumptions were valid, redundant safety-related plant equipment necessary to minimize risk was available for use, and applicable requirements were met.
In addition, the inspectors verified maintenance risk-related problems were entered into the licensee's corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance. Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted five maintenance risk assessment inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.13.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1R15 Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the following issues:
- Review of Degraded/Non-conforming Conditions Prior to Plant Startup Following the Cycle 16 Refueling Outage;
- CARD 14-22796, Potential Mispositioned Component, Intermediate Range Monitor G Signal Cable Found Disconnected from Preamp;
- CARD 14-20833, Mispositioned Component Event - Division 2 EECW Isolation Override Switch;
- CARD 14-23817, No As-Found Local Leak Rate Test on E5150-F008 during RF
[Refueling Outage] 16;
- CARD 14-21704; E1100F050B Failed Pressure Isolation Valve Leakage Test; and
- CARD 14-22855, DC [Direct Current] Procedures Do Not Meet Surveillance Requirements.
The inspectors selected these potential operability/functionality issues based on the risk significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors verified the conditions did not render the associated equipment inoperable/non-functional or result in an unrecognized increase in plant risk. When applicable, the inspectors verified the licensee appropriately applied TS limitations, appropriately returned the affected equipment to an operable status, and reviewed the licensees evaluation of the issue with respect to the regulatory reporting requirements. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluation. When applicable, the inspectors also verified the licensee appropriately assessed the functionality of SSCs that perform specified functions described in the UFSAR, Technical Requirements Manual, Emergency Plan, Fire Protection Plan, regulatory commitments, or other elements of the current licensing basis when degraded or nonconforming conditions were identified.
In addition, the inspectors verified that problems related to the operability or functionality of safety-related and risk significant plant equipment were entered into the licensees corrective action program with the appropriate characterization and significance.
Selected CARDs were reviewed to verify that corrective actions were appropriate and implemented as scheduled.
This inspection constituted six operability determination inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.15.
b. Findings
Incorrect Application of TS Surveillance Requirement (TSSR) 3.0.3 to Never-Performed Battery Surveillances
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance. Upon discovery that surveillance testing procedures for safety-related batteries had not fully satisfied the applicable TSSRs, the licensee incorrectly used the provision of TSSR 3.0.3 to not declare the applicable Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) not met.
Discussion: On March 26, 2014, the licensee discovered that its surveillance testing procedures to satisfy TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5 did not include taking battery terminal connection resistance measurements. TSSR 3.8.4.2 requires the verification of no visible corrosion at battery terminals and connectors or the verification that each battery cell-to-cell and terminal connection resistance is 1.5E-4 ohms every 92 days. The licensee had been taking quarterly resistance measurements rather than the visual verification of no corrosion to satisfy this TSSR. TSSR 3.8.4.5 requires the verification that each battery cell-to-cell and terminal connection resistance is 1.5E-4 ohms every 18 months. The licensees surveillance testing procedures measured the resistance of each of the 57 cell-to-cell connections quarterly, but did not include measurements of the two terminal connections.
Upon discovery, the licensee incorrectly used the provision of TSSR 3.0.3 to not declare the applicable LCO not met and enter the appropriate condition(s), as required by TSSR 3.0.1 and TS 3.0.2. TSSR 3.0.1 requires, in part, TSSRs to be met during the modes or other specified conditions in the applicability for individual LCOs. The failure to perform a surveillance within the specified frequency shall be a failure to meet the LCO except as provided in TSSR 3.0.3. TSSR 3.0.3 states, in part, if it is discovered that a surveillance was not performed within its specified frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified frequency, whichever is greater. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the surveillance.
TS 3.0.2 requires, in part, that upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the required actions of the associated conditions shall be met.
The licensee initiated WOs and promptly performed the required battery terminal connection resistance measurements. The results were acceptable. The sum of the battery cell-to-cell resistance measurements had sufficient margin, such that when the battery terminal connection resistance measurements were finally added, the result was still 1.5E-4 ohms for each of the batteries. The licensee documented in the Control Room log its entry into TSSR 3.0.3 on March 26 at 5:54 p.m. and exit from TSSR 3.0.3 on March 27 at 3:13 a.m. upon satisfactory completion of battery terminal connection resistance measurements.
The inspectors challenged the licensees application of TSSR 3.0.3 since it was apparent the licensee had not considered the distinction between a missed surveillance versus a never-performed surveillance. As stipulated in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0326, Operability Determinations & Functionality Assessments for Conditions Adverse to Quality or Safety, Appendix A, Surveillances, Section A.03, Missed Technical Specification Surveillance, TSSR 3.0.3 may not be applied when a licensee discovers that a TS surveillance has never been performed. This is because establishing a frequency for a TSSR must include an initial performance of the surveillance, which the licensee had not done for the battery terminal connection resistance measurements.
In response to the inspectors questions, the licensee prepared a position paper and provided it to the inspectors on April 28, concluding that entry into TSSR 3.0.3 was appropriate and consistent with the guidance in IMC 0326. In the position paper, the licensee concluded that a reasonable expectation existed for meeting TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5, despite the absence of terminal connection resistance measurements, because of the comprehensive nature of other periodic and conditional testing and inspection performed on the batteries. The licensee further concluded that a reasonable expectation of operability existed for the batteries without having performed the terminal connection resistance measurements; and therefore, entry into the applicable condition(s) of LCO 3.8.5, DC Sources - Shutdown, was not required. It should be noted that on March 26, Fermi Unit 2 was shut down for a refueling outage; hence LCO 3.8.5 rather than LCO 3.8.4, DC Sources - Operating, was applicable.
The inspectors discussed the stations position paper and the IMC 0326 guidance with the NRC staff in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and in the Regional Office.
There are three sentences in the guidance section that discusses the application of TSSR 3.0.3 to a missed surveillance. The first sentence states: SR 3.0.3 may not be applied when a licensee discovers that a TS surveillance has never been performed.
The staff noted that because the battery terminal connection resistances to satisfy TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5 were never measured, this sentence by itself would mean that the licensee could not apply the provision of TSSR 3.0.3. The second sentence states: In cases where a specified safety function or a necessary and related support function required for operability has never been performed, then a reasonable expectation of operability does not exist. Therefore, because the battery terminal connection resistance measurements to satisfy the TSSRs had never been performed, a reasonable expectation of operability for the station batteries did not exist.
However, the third and last sentence of the guidance provides a caveat which states:
However, SR 3.0.3 would apply should the licensee determine that a TS surveillance had been demonstrated outside of routine surveillances, e.g., for post-maintenance testing, or for testing resulting from normal or off-normal plant operations. Therefore, had the licensee ever measured the battery terminal connection resistances outside of the routine surveillances (e.g., for post-maintenance testing) it would have been acceptable per the IMC 0326 guidance to apply TSSR 3.0.3. For example, when the batteries were installed or when preventive maintenance was performed during refueling outages, had the post-maintenance testing included resistance measurements of the battery terminal connections then those measurements would be an adequate basis for the licensee to apply TSSR 3.0.3. However, no post-maintenance testing or other testing documents were produced that would demonstrate the battery terminal connection resistances were ever measured.
10 CFR 50.36 provides the requirements or criteria for the TSSRs to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. The NRC staff acknowledged the licensees position that it did perform a lot of testing of the batteries, all of which are intended to provide on a continuing basis a reasonable expectation of operability. However, while the cell-to-cell resistances were being measured all along, the battery terminal connection resistances were never measured to satisfy the TSSRs. As such, despite the very small contribution of terminal connection resistances to the overall battery resistance, the two terminal connections on each battery were never shown to be operable as defined by successfully completing the TSSRs. The TSSRs to measure the resistances of the battery cell-to-cell and terminal connections along with all of the other TSSRs to demonstrate operability of the station batteries exist because each one was determined to be necessary to meet 10 CFR 50.36. Unless otherwise specified in the TSs, all of the TSSRs must individually be satisfied.
Since applying the provision of TSSR 3.0.3 was not appropriate for the never performed battery surveillances, the licensee should have immediately declared LCO 3.8.5 not met, and entered Condition A when the issue was discovered on March 26. Technical Specification 3.8.5, Condition A, requires that with one or more required DC electrical power subsystems inoperable, immediately declare the affected required feature(s)inoperable, or
- (1) immediately suspend core alterations, and
- (2) immediately suspend movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment, and
- (3) immediately suspend operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel, and
- (4) immediately initiate action to restore required DC electrical power subsystems to operable status. The inspectors noted that from the time the licensee discovered the never-performed surveillances until they were satisfactorily completed, the four actions of the second part of the or statement in TS 3.8.5 Condition A were met; and therefore, no violation of TS 3.0.2 and TS 3.8.5 was identified.
The failure to satisfy TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5 was a licensee-identified issue. Based on review of the examples of minor issues in IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, the inspectors concluded the licensees failure to comply with TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5 constitutes a minor violation that is not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy. The inspectors noted examples 4l and 4m described scenarios in which all the required surveillance testing was not performed and yet there was no safety impact because subsequent testing demonstrated the systems or components were operable.
The licensee entered the violation of TSSRs 3.8.4.2 and 3.8.4.5 into its corrective action program as CARD 14-22855.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined the licensees incorrect use of TSSR 3.0.3 for the never-performed battery surveillances and its failure to immediately declare LCO 3.8.5 not met when the issue was discovered was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation. The inspectors reviewed the examples of minor issues in IMC 0612, Appendix E, dated August 11, 2009, and found no examples related to this issue. Consistent with the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, dated September 7, 2012, the inspectors determined the finding was of more than minor safety significance because a failure to correctly implement LCO and surveillance requirements has the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern if left uncorrected.
Specifically, a failure to declare an LCO not met, enter the applicable condition(s), and follow the applicable actions could reasonably result in operations outside of established safety margins or analyses. Since the issue involved surveillance testing on safety-related batteries, the inspectors concluded this issue was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The inspectors performed a significance screening of this finding using the guidance provided in IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, dated May 9, 2014. In accordance with Attachment 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process Phase 1 Operational Checklists for Both PWRs [Pressurized Water Reactors] and BWRs [Boiling Water Reactors], Checklist 8, BWR Cold Shutdown or Refueling Operation Time to Boil > 2 Hours: RCS [Reactor Coolant System] Level < 23 Feet Above Top of Flange, the inspectors determined this finding was a licensee performance deficiency of very low safety significance (Green) and would not require a quantitative assessment because adequate mitigation capability remained, and the issue did not involve a loss of inventory control.
The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance because a conservative bias in decision making was not demonstrated by the licensees assumption that TSSR 3.0.3 would apply to the never-performed surveillances (H.14). Prior to applying TSSR 3.0.3, the licensee did not appropriately consider the distinction between a missed surveillance versus a never-performed surveillance and had not prepared a basis to conclude the surveillances had been adequately demonstrated outside of routine surveillances. The licensees position paper one month after the fact rationalized the assumption without providing objective quality evidence to support its conclusion. (IMC 0310, H.14)
Enforcement:
No violation of regulatory requirements was identified. Because the required actions of TS 3.8.5 Condition A were fortuitously met, no violation of TS 3.0.2 or TS 3.8.5 was identified. This issue is considered to be a finding.
(FIN 05000341/2014003-01, Incorrect Application of TSSR 3.0.3 to Never-Performed Battery Surveillances). The licensee entered this finding into its corrective action program as CARD 14-25242 for evaluation and identification of corrective actions.

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities
.1 Planned Outage PO-14-01
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensees conduct of outage activities during planned maintenance outage PO-14-01, which began on April 16. The licensee shut down the unit to replace one of two main power transformers, which had developed an oil leak.
The unit was restarted on April 21 and was synchronized to the electrical grid on April 23.
The inspectors reviewed configuration management to verify the licensee maintained defense-in-depth commensurate with the shutdown risk plan and reviewed outage work activities to ensure correct system lineups were maintained for key mitigating systems.
Other outage activities evaluated included the licensee's control of the following:
- SSCs that could cause unexpected reactivity changes;
- flow paths, configurations, and alternate means for reactor coolant system (RCS)inventory addition;
- RCS level instrumentation;
- radiological work practices;
- switchyard activities and the configuration of electrical power systems in accordance with the TSs and shutdown risk plan; and

.1 Use of Respiratory Protection Devices (02.03)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated selected respiratory protection devices staged for use and devices in use. The inspectors assessed the physical condition of the device components as necessary (mask or hood, harnesses, air lines, regulators, air bottles, etc.) and reviewed their correct usage by workers. During an earlier inspection period, the inspectors identified the licensee using tape on a Mururoa V4 MTH2 (Delta Suit Respirator). Unresolved Item (URI)05000341/2014002-05 was established to evaluate the usage of this practice. During this period, the inspectors further evaluated the usage of the Delta Suit Respirator by the licensee.Findings
b. Findings
Disabled Respirator Safety Feature (Closed) URI 05000341/2014002-05, Use of Delta Suit Respirator
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance with an associated non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 20.1703(c)(4)(vii) for defeating a safety feature for the Mururoa V4 MTH2 air-supplied suit (Delta Suit) Respirator.
Description:
On February 25, 2014, the inspectors observed the usage of the Delta Suit Respirator during the change out of control rod drive mechanisms under the reactor vessel. The inspectors observed that an escape feature of the respirator, which extends from mid-arm up over the head and down to mid-arm on the opposite side was defeated by the placement of tape rendering this escape feature inoperable. This escape device is an integral feature of the respirator established by the manufacturer. The Delta Suit respirator is not a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health approved respirator. The licensee did not apply to the NRC to use a protection factor for this respirator.
The inspectors reviewed Regulatory Guide 8.15, Acceptable Programs for Respiratory Protection, Revision 1. This document provides guidance for Respiratory Protection Programs. In the introduction section of this guide, it states in part, Whether or not credit is taken for use of the device to reduce intake and dose, 10 CFR 20.1703 applies whenever respiratory protection devices are used. The inspectors determined that Section 4.12.1 allows the usage of this respirator without a protection factor. However, Section 4.12.1 further states, in part, ...the equipment must be stored, maintained, and tested (as applicable) in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and the licensees Respirator Maintenance and Quality Assurance Program.
The inspectors reviewed licensee procedure 65.000.737, Set-Up, Operation, Shutdown, and Disassembly of a Breathing Air System - Reactor Building. This procedure did not contain information on the safety features of this respirator, nor did it contain information regarding the usage of tape on the respirator.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that defeating a safety feature of the Delta Suit Respirator was a performance deficiency, the cause of which was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and correct, and should have been prevented. This finding was not subject to traditional enforcement since the incident did not result in a significant safety consequence, did not impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, and was not willful.
The performance deficiency was determined to be of more than minor safety significance in accordance with IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, because it was associated with the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure worker health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials. The inspectors also reviewed the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and did not find any similar examples. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, the inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve:
- (1) as-low-as-is-reasonably achievable planning or work controls, or (2)an overexposure, or
- (4) a compromised ability to assess dose.
The inspectors identified that the primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of human performance with the aspect of documentation (H.7). Specifically, the licensee failed to create and maintain documentation that is consistent with manufacturer recommendations. The licensee did not ensure the procedure used for this activity was current.
Enforcement:
10 CFR 20.17.03(c)(4)(vii) requires information on quality assurance be contained within procedures for the Respiratory Protection Program. Contrary to this, as of February 25, 2014, the inspectors observed the use of a Delta Suit Respirator with an inoperable escape feature, i.e., a taped-over zipper, and licensee procedure 65.000.737, Set-Up, Operation, Shutdown, and Disassembly of a Breathing Air System - Reactor Building, did not contain information on this feature or other respirator safety features nor authorize the use of tape on the suit. Because of the very low safety significance, this violation is being treated as an NCV consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000341/2014003-02, Disabled Respirator Safety Feature). This violation was entered into the licensees corrective action program as CARD 14-21795.
URI 05000341/2014002-05 is closed.

This inspection constituted one annual in-depth review inspection sample as defined in IP 71152.
b. Findings
Mis-Positioned Control Switch Inadvertently Rendered the Division 2 EECW System and Supported Systems Inoperable
Introduction:
A finding of very low safety significance with an associated non-cited violation of TS 5.4.1.a was self-revealed on February 6, 2014, when the Division 2 EECW system and its supported systems were inadvertently rendered inoperable.
Control Room operators incorrectly positioned the Division 2 EECW isolation override switch to manual override while attempting to place the system in its normal standby configuration, disabling the systems automatic initiation function.
Discussion: On February 6, Control Room operators inadvertently rendered the Division 2 EECW system inoperable while securing the system from operation and restoring it to its normal standby configuration after warming the Division 2 ultimate heat sink reservoir by incorrectly positioning the Division 2 EECW isolation override switch to manual override. This action disabled the automatic initiation function for the system. As a result, systems that are supplied cooling by the Division 2 EECW system were also rendered inoperable. The operators promptly recognized the error when an unexpected control board alarm annunciated. The Control Room Supervisor recognized the unexpected alarm, evaluated the system condition, and directed the operators to place the override switch back to normal. The override switch was repositioned and the system restored to an operable status within one minute.
Three Control Room operators were involved with this configuration control event. The Control Room Supervisor discussed the task details with two licensed reactor operators and assigned one of the operators to prepare and perform the task. The second reactor operator was assigned to do a peer check of the first operators performance of the task.
A formal pre-job brief was not conducted in accordance with Operations Department Expectation (ODE) 4, Organizational Improvement, Revision 48, before the task was performed.
The licensee completed an apparent cause evaluation for the mis-positioned control switch and concluded the direct cause for the event was Control Room operators had utilized the wrong section of procedure 23.127, Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water/Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System, Revision 129, to perform the task.
The correct section of the procedure to use was Section 7.3, RBCCW Restoration Following EECW Division 2 System Auto/Manual Initiation, rather than Section 8.3, Division 2 EECW Shutdown. The licensee determined the apparent cause was Control Room operators had failed to adequately use human performance tools while preparing and executing the task. A formal pre-job brief was not conducted by the Control Room Supervisor, the task preview by the reactor operator who was assigned the task had insufficient rigor and his uncertainty with the procedure section to be used was not appropriately resolved, and the peer check by the second reactor operator was not effective since it did not validate the correct procedure section was being used.
Corrective actions identified by the licensee in the apparent cause evaluation included:
- immediate stand down with all plant operators focusing on standards for task preview, pre-job briefs, and role of peer checkers;
- a temporary standard implemented for senior reactor operator validation of the correct procedure section to be used prior to execution of tasks;
- revision of procedure 23.127, Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water/Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System, to add a step for specific Control Room Supervisor permission to operate the isolation override switch and for verification of entry into the applicable TS Action requirement; and
- revision of the title for section 7.3 of procedure 23.127 from Restoration Following EECW Division 2 System Auto/Manual Initiation to RBCCW Restoration and EECW Division 2 System Return to Standby Following Auto/Manual Initiation to provide a clearer description of the procedure sections intended result.
For an inoperable EECW/EESW subsystem, TS 3.7.2, EECW/EESW System and Ultimate Heat Sink, required that the affected subsystem be restored to an operable status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Inoperability of the Division 2 EECW/EESW subsystem also rendered multiple supported systems inoperable including: HPCI, RHR, CS, and standby gas treatment. Because the control board annunciator alarmed allowing Control Room operators to promptly recognize and correct the mis-positioned control switch, the total time Division 2 EECW and its supported systems were inoperable was less than one minute. Control Room operators declared the Division 2 EECW subsystem and supported systems inoperable and logged entry into the applicable TS Action requirements. Although only momentary, the unplanned inoperability of the single-train HPCI system was initially determined by the licensee to be a loss of safety function of a system needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident and the licensee appropriately made the required eight-hour non-emergency event notification to the NRC Operations Center in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). Subsequently, on April 4, the licensee retracted this notification based on an engineering evaluation that concluded EECW cooling to the HPCI Room cooler was not needed for the brief time it was unavailable, and therefore the HPCI system was operable with the degraded/non-conforming condition. The inspectors reviewed the licensees engineering evaluation and agreed with its conclusion.
Analysis:
The inspectors determined that the licensees failure to correctly implement procedure 23.127 to align the Division 2 EECW system in its normal standby configuration following operation was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation. The inspectors reviewed the examples of minor issues in IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and noted in Example 4b that a procedure performance error would not be considered of minor safety significance when there is an adverse consequence resulting from it. Consistent with the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, the inspectors determined that the finding was associated with the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the mis-positioned control switch rendered the Division 2 EECW system and its supported systems inoperable. The inspectors performed a significance screening of this finding using the guidance provided in IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix A, The SDP for Findings At-Power, dated June 19, 2012. In accordance with Exhibit 2, Mitigating Systems Screening Questions, the inspectors determined it would be appropriate to perform a detailed risk evaluation conservatively assuming a loss of function of the single-train HPCI system.
The Region III Senior Reactor Analyst evaluated the finding using the Fermi 2 Plant Standardized Plant Analysis Risk Model, Version 8.20, and Systems Analysis Programs for Hands-on Integrated Reliability Evaluations, Version 8.0.9.0. The exposure time for the unavailability of the Division 2 EECW system was conservatively assumed to be one hour. The result was a delta core damage frequency of less than 1.0E-10/year, which is a finding of very low safety significance (Green). The dominant sequence involved a large-loss-of-coolant accident with a failure of low pressure injection. The finding was not evaluated for delta large early release frequency or external events since the internal events delta core damage frequency was less than 1E-7/year.
The inspectors concluded this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance since adequate licensee personnel work practices did not support successful human performance (H.12). Specifically, human error prevention techniques, such as pre-job briefing and peer checking, were not adequately used to ensure that the correct procedure section was performed.
Enforcement:
Technical Specification 5.4.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, dated February 1978.
Section 4.i of Regulatory Guide 1.33 recommends procedures for startup, operation, and shutdown of the safety-related closed cooling water system. Operations procedure 23.127, Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water/Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System, Revision 129, implemented Section 4.i and contained instructions for securing the Division 2 EECW system from operation and restoring it to its normal standby configuration.
Contrary to the above, on February 6, 2014, the licensee failed to correctly implement procedure 23.127 to shut down the Division 2 EECW system and align it to its normal standby configuration. Licensed reactor operators using the incorrect section of the procedure positioned the Division 2 EECW isolation override switch to manual override, disabling the systems automatic initiation function. Consequently, the Division 2 EECW system and its supported systems were inadvertently rendered inoperable. Because of the very low safety significance, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000341/2014003-03, Mis-Positioned Control Switch Inadvertently Rendered the Division 2 EECW System and Supported Systems Inoperable). The licensee entered this violation into its corrective action program as CARD 14-20833.
.3 Semi-Annual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed repetitive or closely related issues documented in the licensees corrective action program to look for trends not previously identified. This included a review of the licensees quarterly trend coding and analysis reports to assess the effectiveness of the licensees trending process. The inspectors also reviewed selected CARDs regarding licensee-identified potential trends to verify that corrective actions were effective in addressing the trends and implemented in a timely manner commensurate with the significance.
In addition, the inspectors toured selected areas of the plant and evaluated the licensees corrective actions to address an adverse performance trend in plant housekeeping identified by the inspectors during the last semi-annual trend review.
This inspection constituted one semi-annual trend review inspection sample as defined in IP 71152.
b. Assessment and Observations No findings were identified.
- (1) Overall Effectiveness of Trending Program The inspectors determined that the licensees trending program was generally effective at identifying, monitoring, and correcting adverse performance trends. This has been reflected in the licensees quarterly trend coding and analysis reports. The inspectors reviewed several common cause evaluations performed by the licensee to evaluate potential adverse performance and equipment trends. In general, these evaluations were performed well and identified appropriate corrective actions to address adverse trends that were identified. However, a few less than adequate condition evaluations were noted by the inspectors and discussed with the licensee. As discussed below, the inspectors identified a continuing adverse performance trend involving plant housekeeping, which has not yet been adequately addressed by the licensees corrective action program.
- (2) Continuing Adverse Performance Trend in Housekeeping Issues Identified During Plant Walkdowns by the Inspectors The inspectors noted that an adverse performance trend has continued involving plant housekeeping. The inspectors first identified and documented this adverse performance trend during the previous semi-annual trend review in the 4th quarter of 2013.
Throughout the months of August - October 2013, the inspectors toured many areas of the plant, some of which were not frequently accessed by plant staff, and found improper housekeeping, material restraint, fire loading, lighting, and equipment storage issues that had not been identified by the licensees staff and corrected. Plant areas walked down included the Torus Room, Auxiliary Building Mezzanine, Cable Spreading Room, Drywell, and Reactor Building. In response to the inspectors identification of these housekeeping issues, the licensee captured this adverse performance trend in CARD 13-26082, Emerging Trend, for evaluation and identification of corrective actions on August 29, 2013. As stated in CARD 13-26082: Site standards have slipped in work practices which result in plant cleanliness issues. Site standards have degraded in supervisory oversight of cleanliness and housekeeping. Employees have accepted sub-standard conditions as normal.
During this inspection period, the inspectors reviewed the status of the licensees evaluation and corrective actions associated with CARD 13-26082 and noted that a single action in the CARD to determine the extent of the emerging trend and whether site culture was contributing to conditions was not due to be completed until June 27.
The inspectors questioned licensee management whether taking nine months to determine if there was an adverse performance trend was timely.
During the months of February - May 2014, which included a refueling outage and a planned maintenance outage, the inspectors toured many of the same areas of the plant to note whether there had been any improvement. Plant areas walked down included the Torus Room, Turbine Building, Reactor Building, HPCI Pump Room, and Drywell.
The inspectors found that general housekeeping in these areas of the plant remained poor. Again, the inspectors found improper housekeeping, material restraint, lighting, and equipment storage issues that had not been identified by the licensees staff and corrected. Specific observations from the inspectors tours of the Drywell are described below.
- (3) Drywell Inspections The licensees post-outage clean-up (or cleanliness verification) of the Drywell basement from the refueling and planned maintenance outages was poor. The inspectors found loose debris in the basement that should have been removed by the licensee prior to the inspectors closeout inspections. Duct tape, plastic cable ties, paper, and other miscellaneous debris were not adequately removed at the end of the outages. The inspectors also found loose debris inside several of the downcomers leading from the Drywell basement to the suppression pool. The inspectors discussed their concern with licensee management that during a design-basis event, loose debris present in the Drywell could be transported to the suppression pool and possibly affect the operation of the ECCS and reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system pumps. The inspectors previously found a similar condition during the Drywell closeout inspection at the end of the planned outage in September 2013. The licensee initiated CARD 13-26700 at that time to evaluate the cause and implement corrective actions. The inspectors concluded that corrective actions from the CARD, which were simply tailgating-type actions, were not effective. The amount of debris found was not enough to significantly challenge operability of the ECCS and RCIC system; therefore, no finding of significance was identified.
