SUMMARY

IR 05000 397/20 17 0 02; 04/01/20 17 - 06/30/20 17; Columbia Generating Station

Maintenance Effectiveness, Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls, Problem Identification and Resolution.

The inspection activities described in this report were performed between April 1 and June 30 , 2017 , by the resident inspectors at Columbia Generating Station and inspectors from the NRC's Region IV office. Three findings of very low safety significance (Green) are documented in this report. Two of these findings involved a violation of NRC requirements.

The significance of inspection findings is indicated by their color (i.e., Green , greater than Green, White, Yellow, or Red), that is determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," dated April 29, 2015. Their cross-cutting aspects are determined using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310, "Aspects within the Cross-Cutting Areas," dated December 4, 2014. Violations of NRC requirements are dispositioned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy.

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

-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process

," dated July 2016.

Cornerstone: Initiating Events

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed finding for the licensee's failure to follow plant Procedure SWP-CA P-01, "Corrective Action Program," that ensures corrective actions are timely. As a corrective action for failures associated with mechanism operated cell switches for nonsafety 4160 V AC circuit breakers in 2013 and 2015, the licensee assigned modifications to the mechanism operated cell switches but failed to implement them in a timely manner. Consequently, on July 20, 2016, circuit breaker E-CB-S/3 mechanism operated cell switches failed to change state resulting in a loss of a main feed pump and an unplanned runback to 70 percent reactor power. As corrective action, the licensee declared the startup transformer inoperable, modified the mechanism operated cell assembly for circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 to remove one switch, and performed post-maintenance testing.

The licensee also initiated Action Request 352504 to perform an apparent cause review and address long-term corrective actions.

The failure to follow plant Procedure SWP-CAP-01, "Corrective Action Program," that ensures corrective actions are timely was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Event Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the loss of major loads on E

-SM-3 upset plant stability by causing a loss of feed and reactor runback transient.

The inspector performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, "Initiating Events Screening Questions." The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. Specifically, the licensee remained at power and maintained diverse feed and condensate pumps.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, consistent process, in that the licensee failed to use a systematic approach to make decisions including incorporating risk insights. Specifically, circuit breaker E-CB-S/3 is utilized at least monthly for emergency diesel generator surveillance testing and a failure could render the startup transformer inoperable. The mechanism operated cell assembly modification, recommended in 2013 and assigned for action in 2015, was not planned or scheduled as a work order at the time of the failure in 2016

[H.13]. (Section 1R12)

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," for failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, since 2012, the licensee failed to implement prompt corrective actions to correct an adverse condition related to the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the high pressure core spray room normal supply fan. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee replaced the contactor for the high pressure core spray room normal supply fan. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Action Request 360595. The failure to correct an adverse condition related to the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the HPCS room normal supply fan, though the licensee had an opportunity and plan to do so, was a performance deficiency.

The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it affected the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, the licensee's failure to correct the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the high pressure core spray room normal supply fan resulted in an inoperable fan, high pressure core spray bus 4160 V AC switchgear, and high pressure core spray pump during the January 25, 2017 , event when smoke was observed from the motor control center. The inspectors performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions." The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because: (1)the finding was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating system; (2)the finding did not represent a loss of system and/or function; (3)the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time; and (4)the finding does not represent an actual loss of function of one or more nontechnical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The inspectors determined that this finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect as the decision to not replace the contactor occurred in 2014 and was not reflective of current performance. (Section 4OA2)

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed, non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1501 resulting from the licensee's failure to conduct radiation surveys necessary to establish appropriate controls to support movement of spent filters from the spent fuel pool to a shipping cask. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as Action Requests 356390 and 358265. The licensee's failure to perform surveys necessary to establish appropriate controls to support the movement of filters from the spent fuel pool to a shipping cask was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. Specifically, the inadequate radiation surveys resulted in inadequate controls being implemented causing unplanned and unintended personnel dos e. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, "Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green), because it did not involve

(1) ALARA planning and controls; (2)an overexposure; (3) a substantial potential for overexposure

or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with work management, because the organization failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority. Specifically, the licensee's organization and work processes failed to include the identification and management of radiological risk commensurate with the spent fuel pool filter project and the need for strict coordination with different groups or job activitie s [H.5]. (Section 2RS1)

Licensee-Identified Violations

Violations of very low safety significance (Green) that were identified by the licensee have been reviewed by the inspectors.

Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee have been entered into the licensee's corrective action program. These violations and associated corrective action tracking numbers are listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self

-revealed, Green , finding for the licensee's failure to follow plant Procedure SWP-CA P-01, "Corrective Action Program," that ensures corrective actions are timely. As a corrective action for failures associated with MOC switches for nonsafety 4160 V AC circuit breakers in 2013 and 2015, the licensee assigned modifications to the MOC switches but failed to implement t hem in a timely manner. Consequently, on July 20, 2016, circuit breaker E-CB-S/3 MOC switches failed to change state resulting in a loss of a main feedwater pump and an unplanned runback to 70 percent reactor power.

Description

. In May 2013, the licensee replaced six nonsafety Westinghouse DHP 4160 V AC, 3000 amp circuit breakers with Westinghouse DHP-VR breakers as part of an equipment obsolescence project. Both models of circuit breakers contain a pantograph

-arm that actuates auxiliary contacts, mechanically, when the circuit breaker changes state. The auxiliary contacts, also known as MOC switches, communicate feedback and control signals to other components based upon the circuit breaker opening or closing. Significantly, the DHP-VR model did not provide as much force to the pantograph arm as the obsolete DHP breaker (approximately 75 pounds force versus 200 pounds force). The DHP-VR model provided an acceptable amount of force but without significant margin to the minimum calculated. The licensee replaced the six nonsafety breakers associated with providing normal and startup power to the nonsafety 4160 VAC busses (E-CB-N1/1, E-CB-N1/2, E-CB-N1/3, E-CB-S/1 , E-CB-S/2, and E

-CB-S/3). A timeline of action requests (AR) and engineering changes (EC) for these circuit breakers, from initial installation in May 2013 through June 2016, is shown below.

Date AR / EC Notes June 9, 2013 AR 287207287207Nonsafety circuit breaker E

-CB-S/2 closed but the MOC switches did not change state. This was corrected by adjusting the pantograph assembly to achieve required force.

June 13, 2013 AR 287418287418EC 9058 Nonsafety circuit breaker E

-CB-N1/1 could not reach the desired closing force and was accepted as

-is. September 20, 2013 AR 294219294219Licensee staff reviewed AR 287207287207 identified that there were unused contacts on the MOC switches

, and proposed a modification to reduce the required force.

Specifically, the modification would consolidate contacts from three separate MOC switches on each breaker to two. By disconnecting the third and the unnecessary MOC switch, the required pantograph force would be reduced and significantly improve the engineering margin to a failure of MOC switches to change state.

Date AR / EC Notes December 3, 2013 AR 29881 6 Licensee staff changed the frequency of nonsafety DRP-VR circuit breaker MOC switch inspections from 4 years to 2 years. The change was

, "to be used as a bridging strategy for any needed actions prior to implementation of a modification to reduce th e number of MOC switches per AR 294219294219" June 17, 2015 AR 331377331377 Nonsafety circuit breaker E

-CB-S/1 closed but the MOC switches failed to change state. Troubleshooting revealed mechanical binding of the pantograph and that the force required to operate the MOC assembly was in excess of the acceptable range. In the condition evaluation, a corrective action was assigned to , "consolidate the remaining contacts in use on two MOC switches and remove the third MOC switch thus gaining an additional 13 to 18 lbs of margin."

June 18, 2015 AR 331548331548Regarding nonsafety circuit breaker E

-CB-S/1, licensee staff noted that

, "did not make it two years and lost one

-third of its margin." Further, the staff commented , "removing an unused MOC switch in each circuit breaker cubicle will increase margin by 12 to 15 lbs." July 23, 2015 AR 333584333584Licensee staff evaluated the nonsafety MOC switch failures and stated that

, "the six work orders to reduce MOC switches from three to two are to be worked in conjunction with their respective MOC switch clean and inspect tasks

," on a 2-year frequency.

February 29, 2016 AR 345593345593Engineering again recommend ed eliminating the thir d MOC switch

, "for better MOC switch operation and enhance equipment reliability."

On July 20, 2016, the licensee was configuring the electric plant for a planned emergency diesel generator surveillance test and shut E

-CB-S/3. Per design, shutting E-CB-S/3 would provide power to nonsafety 4160 V AC bus E-SM-3 via the startup transformer and automatically cause the normal power supply to separate from the bus by opening circuit breaker E

-CB-N1/3. Control room operators noted that E

-CB-N1/3 failed to automatically open when E

-CB-S/3 was shut and the control room staff manually opened E

-CB-N1/3. At this time, the major loads of E

-SM-3 tripped which includes a condensate pump, COND

-P-1C, and a condensate booster pump, COND-P-2C. Based upon a loss of suction pressure, a reactor feedwater pump, RFW-P-1B, then tripped. The loss of a reactor feedwater pump then caused an automatic reactor runback signal to the reactor recirculation pumps. At the end of the transient, the reactor was stable at approximately 70 percent power and within the capability of the remaining reactor feedwater pump to provide makeup water to the core. This failure was documented in Action Request 352504.

Troubleshooting of the transient revealed that circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 closed but the MOC switches failed to change state due to inadequate force. As a result, circuit breaker E-CB-N1/3 did not automatically open since there was no auxiliary contact signal from E

-CB-S/3 MOC switches. When operators later opened the circuit breaker E-C B-N1/3, the major loads of bus E

-SM-3 did not have a valid signal of power being available from MOC contacts and the loads tripped

, causing the feedwater transient.

The inspectors reviewed work orders, corrective action documents, and licensee procedures associated with MOC switches. The inspectors noted that, from June 2015 to July 2016, the licensee had completed the MOC switch modification for circuit breakers E

-CB-N1/1, E-CB-N1/3, E-CB-S/1, and E

-CB-S/2. The remaining circuit breakers, E-CB-N1/2 and E-CB-S/3, were still in the planning process and were not yet scheduled in the work order process. The inspectors reviewed plant Procedure SWP-CAP-01, "Corrective Action Program," Revisions 27-36, which discuss the goals for timely corrective actions throughout the document:

"Ensure actions are written SMART [Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely] per CDM

-01, Cause Determination Manual

" The inspectors reviewed plant Procedure CDM-01, "Cause Determination Manual," Revisions 14-16, which further define timely corrective actions:

"Timely - the due date for the corrective action should allow sufficient time to complete the action but not allow enough time for more significant consequences to occur from a repeat event.

"

The inspectors determined the licensee failed to ensure corrective actions were timely as required by plant procedures. Specifically, the licensee was aware of reduced margin for pantograph force and recommended corrective actions to modify the MOC assemblies in June 2013. The modification of MOC assemblies was not assigned as a corrective action until after the licensee experienced a failure of MOC switches due to inadequate pantograph force in June 2015 under AR 331377331377 Further, the modification for circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 was not complete at the time of its associated MOC switch failure in July 2016. As a result, the licensee experienced a repeated failure of a MOC switch due to inadequate force. The inspectors concluded that, based upon the MOC switch failures in 2013 and 2015, the due date for corrective action allowed enough time for more significant consequences to occur from a repeat event.

As corrective action, the licensee declared the startup transformer inoperable, modified the MOC assembly for circuit breaker E-CB-S/3 to remove one switch, and performed post-maintenance testing.

The licensee also initiated AR 352504352504to perform an apparent cause review and address long-term corrective actions.

Analysis.

The failure to follow plant Procedure SWP-CAP-01, "Corrective Action Program," that ensures corrective actions are timely was a performance deficiency. Specifically, as a corrective action for adverse conditions associated with MOC switches for 4160 V AC circuit breakers, the licensee assigned a modification to the MOC switches for nonsafety related circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 but failed to implement it in a timely manner. Consequently, on July 20, 2016, circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 MOC switches failed to change state resulting in a loss of a main feed pump and an unplanned runback to 70 percent reactor power. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the equipment performance attribute of the Initiating Event s Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown as well as power operations. Specifically, the loss of major loads on E

-SM-3 upset plant stability by causing a loss of feed and reactor runback transient. The inspector performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 1, "Initiating Events Screening Questions." The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not cause a reactor trip and the loss of mitigation equipment relied upon to transition the plant from the onset of the trip to a stable shutdown condition. Specifically, the licensee remained at power and maintained a diverse availability of feedwater and condensate pumps.

This finding had a cross

-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, consistent process, in that the licensee failed to use a systematic approach to make decisions including incorporating risk insights.

Specifically, circuit breaker E

-CB-S/3 is utilized at least monthly for emergency diesel generator surveillance testing and a failure could render the startup transformer inoperable. The MOC assembly modification, recommended in 2013 and assigned for action in 2015, was not planned or scheduled as a work order at the time of the failure in 2016

[H.13].

Enforcement.

This finding does not involve enforcement action because no violation of a regulatory requirement was identified.

This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as AR 352504352504 Because this finding does not involve a violation and is of very low safety significance (Green), it is identified as FIN 05000397/2 017002-01 , "Mechanism Operated Cell Switch Failure." 1 R 13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control (71111.13)

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstones:

Public Radiation Safety and Occupational Radiation Safety 2 RS 1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls (71124.01)

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's performance in assessing the radiological hazards in the workplace associated with licensed activities. The inspectors assessed the licensee's implementation of appropriate radiation monitoring and exposure control measures for both individual and collective exposures. During the inspection, the inspectors interviewed licensee personnel, walked down various areas in the plant, performed independent radiation dose rate measurements, and observed postings and physical controls. The inspectors reviewed licensee performance in the following areas:

Radiological hazard assessment, including a review of the plant's radiological source terms and associated radiological hazards. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's radiological survey program to determine whether radiological hazards were properly identified for routine and nonroutine activities and assessed for changes in plant operations.

Instructions to workers including radiation work permit requirements and restrictions, actions for electronic dosimeter alarms, changing radiological condition s , and radioactive material container labeling.

Contamination and radioactive material control, including release of potentially contaminated material from the radiologically controlled area, radiological survey performance, radiation instrument sensitivities, material control and release criteria, and control and accountability of sealed radioactive sources.

Radiological hazards control and work coverage. During walk

-downs of the facility and job performance observations, the inspectors evaluated ambient radiological conditions, radiological postings, adequacy of radiological controls, radiation protection job coverage, and contamination controls. The inspectors also evaluated dosimetry selection and placement as well as the use of dosimetry in areas with significant dose rate gradients. The inspectors examined the licensee's controls for items stored in the spent fuel pool and evaluated airborne radioactivity controls and monitoring.

High radiation area and very high radiation area controls.

During plant walk-downs, the inspectors verified the adequacy of posting and physical controls, including areas of the plant with the potential to become risk

-significan t high radiation areas.

Radiation worker performance and radiation protection technician proficiency with respect to radiation protection work requirements. The inspectors determined if workers were aware of significant radiological conditions in their workplace, radiation work permit controls/limits in place, and electronic dosimeter dose and dose rate set points. The inspectors observed radiation protection technician job performance, including the performance of radiation surveys.

Problem identification and resolution for radiological hazard assessment and exposure controls. The inspectors reviewed audits, self

-assessments, and corrective action program documents to verify problems were being identified and properly addressed for resolution.

These activities constitute d completion of the seven required samples of the radiological hazard assessment and exposure control program, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71124.01.

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self

-revealed , Green, non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 20.1501 for the licensee's failure to take surveys necessary to establish appropriate controls to support movement of spent filters from the spent fuel pool to a waste liner/shipping cask. As a result, workers received unintended, unplanned collective dose of 1.35 person-rem to retrieve highly radioactive filters from the liner. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Action Requests 356390 and 358265. An apparent cause evaluation was completed on December 20, 2016.

Description.

On October 13, 2016, the licensee began to remove approximately 70 spent filters from the spent fuel pool (SFP) to place in a liner for radioactive waste disposal. This activity marked the end of the 2016 SFP cleanup campaign. During the evolution, a worker's electronic alarming dosimeter (EAD) and several area radiation monitors (ARMs) unexpectedly alarmed when six filters were simultaneously lifted from the SFP and cleared the water surface. The six filters were raised from the SFP as part of a "drip dry" process prior to moving them in to a shipping cask and liner. The filters were placed in the liner, despite instructions to have them placed back into the SFP. The SFP cleanup project was then stopped due to the unexpected radiological conditions.

During the radiological event, two radiation protection (RP) technicians measured dose rates 10 times higher at their respective locations than during previous filter moves. One filter was allowed to be transferred to the cask when a plant ARM measured 15 rem/hour. A temporary ARM that alarmed was located 10 to 15 feet from the filter removal area and measured 500 millirem/hour

another temporary ARM 80 feet away measured 100 millirem/hour. Also, the refueling floor ARM-RIS-1 measured over 240 millirem/hour during the event. Finally, one worker's EAD alarmed at 1,100 millirem/hour

.

From October 14-31, 2016, the licensee worked to develop a formal recovery plan to reduce dose rates for the filter shipment. Nonetheless, workers received unintended, unplanned collective dose of 1.35 person-rem to recover from this event.

The inspectors determined that the licensee used a vendor procedure for processing each spent filter, Radiation Work Permits (RWPs)30003788 and 30003790, and Work Order (WO) 02095196 for controlling worker radiation exposure and handling radioactive material. The RWPs contained an ALARA plan, high risk work plan, and instructions work order.

The filter removal process involved lifting each filter via rope and crane, and letting the water drain out before placing the filter in the cask according to the RWP and plan. In addition, the vendor procedure

, "Load Waste Container on the Refueling Floor Using In-Air Transfer Method,"

Revision 0, had several precautions for maintaining strict adherence to radiation measurements and radiological controls. According to RW P 30003790, the high risk work plan, and SFP cleanup ALARA plan dated September 7 , 2016, the RP staff expected the exterior contact reading on the filters to range from 170 mrem/hour to 10 rem/hour. The maximum internal dose rate fo r the filter internals were expected to be 23.9 to 120 rem/hour on contact. As a radiological control in the ALARA plan, items measuring greater than 800 millirem/hour were to be returned to the SFP for rinsing. The licensee's investigation revealed that RP allowed movement of six filters at one time without adequate radiation surveys and contrary to the RWP high risk work plan that required workers to back out and stop work if the dose rates exceeded 150 percent of expected dose rates. The licensee's investigation determined that the RP surveys were ineffective. In particular, pre

-job surveys to determine expected dose rates of the filters being removed did not occur prior to handling and removal from the SFP. The investigation report stated that RP did not accurately monitor and communicate radiological conditions. This inadequacy resulted in RP staff not knowing that filter dose rates measured as high as 4,000 rem/hour. On October 21, 2016, surveys were performed on three filters to verify dose rates. The licensee measured 14,000 rem/hour inside one of the filters.

The inspectors determined that RP had mis

-focused its worker radiation safety attentions. The investigation report had several statements that demonstrated that the licensee focused more on whether the loaded cask met shipment and disposal requirements than assessing occupational radiation exposure.

Additionally , the licensee relied on September 2015 and May 2016 radioactive waste characterization data to establish radiological controls for the evolution.

Analysis.

The licensee's failure to perform sur veys necessary to establish appropriate controls to support the movement of the filters from the SFP to the waste liner was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation

. Specifically, the inadequate radiation surveys resulted in inadequate controls being implemented causing unplanned and unintended personnel dose.

Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, "Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not involve:

(1) ALARA planning and controls; (2)an overexposure;

(3) a substantial potential for overexposure; or (4)an impaired ability to assess dose.

The finding ha d a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with work management, because the organization failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority.

Specifically, the licensee's organization and work processes failed to include the identification and management of radiological risk commensurate with the SFP filter project and the need for strict coordination with different groups or job activities

[H.5].

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR 20.1501(a)(2) requires, in part, that each licensee shall make , or cause to be made

, surveys that:

are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels and the potential radiological hazards of the radiation leve ls detected. Contrary to the above, on October 13, 2016, the licensee failed to make

, or cause to be made , surveys that were reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels and the potential radiological hazards of the radiation levels detected. Specifically, before and during movement of some 70 spent filters from the SFP to a waste liner/shipping cask for disposal, the licensee failed to make radiation surveys necessary to establish appropriate radiological controls to support the filter movement. Consequently, workers received unintended

, unplanned collective dose of 1.3 5 person-rem in retrieving highly radioactive filters from the waste liner

. Because the violation is of very low safety significance (Green) and the licensee has entered the issue into their corrective action program as AR s 356390 and 358265, this violation is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors reviewed a self

-revealed, Green, non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," for the failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, since 2012, the licensee failed to implement prompt corrective actions to correct an adverse condition related to the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the high pressure core spray (HPCS) room normal supply fan.

Description.

On January 25, 2017, the HPCS room normal supply fan caused a main control room alarm and smoke was reported coming from the HPCS motor control center. An operator at the motor control center immediately opened the electrical disconnect to the HPCS room normal supply fan and the smoke stopped. The HPCS room normal supply fan was declared inoperable, along with HPCS 4160 V AC switchgear, and the HPCS pump. Examination of the damage to the motor control center included an overheated and cracked contactor coil. The licensee replaced the contactor assembly and HPCS was returned to service in approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />.

The HPCS room normal supply fan operates continuously and the coil had operated 8.9 years before failure. As a safety

-related component, the HPCS room normal supply fan is part of a 480 V AC motor starter that allows its load to start and run. The main contactor opens and closes to provide power to the load. The main contactor is operated by 120 V AC solenoid power from the control power transformer. The magnet assembly in the main contactor contains the coil.

On June 16, 2012, a failure of a different brand of motor control center contactor failed and AR 265422265422required a preventative maintenance (PM)replacement of normally energized safety related coils. This review of the 480 V AC system moved the system into Maintenance Rule a(1) status on December 19, 2012. The performance improvement plan developed for the 480 V AC system was to replace the normally energized coils during upcoming PM activities. Work Order 02018345 was created for the HPCS room normal supply fan coil replacement. On January 20, 2014, the normal PM under WO 02018345 using Procedure Preparation Manual (PPM)10.25.187, "Motor Control Center Starter (Bucket) Maintenance," Revision 24, found no issues with the motor control center and the coil inspection was recorded as satisfactory, though the coil was not replaced. In addition, a Work Task 02018345-06 was written to replace the coil for Work Request 29103810 that was generated. Without any explanation, the task was closed and therefore, the maintenance rule program owner believed the coil for the HPCS room normal supply fan had been replaced per the PM activities established as a corrective action per AR 265422265422 As an immediate corrective action, the licensee replaced the contactor for the HPCS room normal supply fan. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as AR 360595360595

Analysis.

The failure to correct an adverse condition related to the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the HPCS room normal supply fan, though the licensee had an opportunity and plan to do so, was a performance deficiency.

The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it affected the design control attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.

Specifically, on January 25, 2017, the HPCS room normal supply fan caused a main control room alarm, and smoke was reported coming from the HPCS motor control center. This failure resulted in the HPCS room normal supply fan to be inoperable, along with HPCS 4160 V AC switchgear, and the HPCS pump. The inspectors performed the initial significance determination using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 2, "Mitigating Systems Screening Questions." The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because: (1)the finding was not a deficiency affecting the design or qualification of a mitigating system; (2)the finding did not represent a loss of system and/or function; (3)the finding did not represent an actual loss of function of a single train for greater than its technical specification allowed outage time; and (4)the finding does not represent an actual loss of function of one or more nontechnical specification trains of equipment designated as high safety

-significant in accordance with the licensee's maintenance rule program for greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The inspectors determined that this finding did not have a cross

-cutting aspect as the decision to not replace the contactor occurred in 201 4 and was not reflective of current performance.

Enforcement.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that, "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected." The licensee created WO 02018345 to comply with this requirement to replace a continually energized contactor coil as a corrective action for a previously identified failure in similar equipment. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to assure conditions adverse to quality were promptly identified and corrected. Specifically, since December 19, 2012, the licensee failed to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality related to the contactor for the HPCS room normal supply fan, to which 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, applies. Consequently, following the failure of the HPCS normal supply fan on January 25, 2017, the licensee's failure to implement prompt corrective actions to correct an adverse condition related to the use of a contactor coil for a motor starter in the HPCS room normal supply fan resulted in the HPCS room normal supply fan to be inoperable, along with HPCS 4160 V AC switchgear, and the HPCS pump. As an immediate corrective action, the licensee replaced the contactor for the HPCS room normal supply fan and initiated Action Request 350595. Because this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a non

-cited violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000397/2017002

4OA 3 Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153)

.1 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER)

05000397/201600 4-01 , "Automatic Scram Due to Off-site Load Reject

" On December 18, 2016, an automatic scram occurred due to a fault on an off

-site transmission network. A reactor scram was automatically initiated by the plant response to the transient. The entity responsible for the off

-site transmission network, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), performed a cause evaluation for the loss of off

-site power that determined the event was caused by three sequential 500 kV breaker failures.

BPA took immediate corrective actions to restore the off

-site transmission network. Station personnel performed a root cause evaluation on the station's response to the reactor scram, including failure to trip both the main turbine and main generator, and human performance issues operating the reactor core isolation cooling system

. Th e enforcement aspects of this event are documented in Section 3.4 of NRC Special Inspection Report 05000397/2017 00 8 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No.

ML17096A781). This revision to the LER added language from both the BPA and the station's cause analyses but did not significantly change the NRC's conclusion.

This licensee event report is closed.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER)

05000 397/201 7 00 1-00, "Contactor Coil Failure Results in Tripping of HPCS Diesel Mixed Air Fan

" On January 25, 2017, smoke was detected in the HPCS system diesel room with no indication of a fire. Immediate recovery actions by operations personnel included opening the disconnect for the affected motor starter, at which point the smoke dissipated. Investigation of the condition found the motor starter for the diesel mixed air fan had failed. Prior to the start of the event, the HPCS system had been declared inoperable for planned maintenance in accordance with plant technical specifications. The inspectors documented the summary of the event including the potential safety consequences and corrective actions required to address the issue as well as t he enforcement aspect of this event in Section 4OA2.3(b) of this report. This licensee event report is closed.

These activities constitute d completion of two event follow

-up samples, as defined in Inspection Procedure 71153.

4OA 6 Meetings, Including Exit

Exit Meeting Summary

On May 25, 2017, the inspectors presented the inservice inspection and radiation safety inspection results to Mr.

B. Sawatzke, Chief Nuclear Officer, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented for both inspections. The licensee confirmed that any proprietary information reviewed by the inspectors had been returned or destroyed.

On July 13, 2017, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. G. Hettel, Vice President, Operations, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented.

The licensee confirmed that any proprietary information reviewed by the inspectors had been returned or destroyed.

4OA 7 Licensee-Identified Violations The following violations of very low safety significance were identified by the licensee and are violations of NRC requirements

, which meet the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as non

-cited violation s.

Title 10 CFR 50.55a(g)4, "Inservice Inspection Standards Requirement For Operating Plants," requires, in part, that throughout the service life of a boiling water-cooled nuclear power facility, components that are classified as ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 must meet the requirements set forth in Section XI of the ASME Code. The ASME Code,Section XI, Article IWA-2610, requires that all welds and components subject to a surface or volumetric examination be included in the licensee's inservice inspection program. This includes identifying each system support that is subject to Section XI requirements. Contrary to the above, prior to March 9, 2017, the licensee did not apply the applicable inservice inspection requirements to all system pressure boundaries within ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 boundaries. Specifically, the licensee failed to include the control rod drive housing welds, as well as portions of the residual heat removal and high pressure core spray systems in their inservice inspection program. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as AR 00343761 and reasonably determined the affected components and system remained operable. The licensee restored compliance by entering the components and systems into the ASME Section XI program. The finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a system or train, and did not result in the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage time.

Title 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(i), "ISI Program Update:

Applicable ISI Code Editions and Addenda," requires , in part, that the inservice inspection program for a boiling water-cooled nuclear power facility must be revised by the licensee, as necessary, to meet the requirements of paragraph (g)(4) of this section. Paragraph (g)4(ii), "Applicable ISI Code: Successive 120

-Month Intervals," requires, in part, that inservice examination of components and system pressure tests conducted during successive 120

-month inspection intervals must comply with the requirements of the latest edition and addenda of the Code incorporated by reference in paragraph

(a) of this section

, 12 months before the start of the 120

-month inspection interval. Contrary to these requirements, the licensee failed to issue the inspection plan for the fourth 10

-year inservice inspection interval in a timely manner. Specifically, the licensee failed to issue the inservice inspection plan until January 27, 2016, even though the third 10

-year inservice inspection interval had ended on December 13, 2015. A relief request to allow emergent repairs to be completed under the third 10

-year inservice inspection plan was requested by the licensee on December 16, 2015 , and was approved by the NRC; however, no repairs needed to be completed. The finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not represent an actual loss of safety function of a system or train and did not result in the loss of a single train for greater than technical specification allowed outage time. This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as A R 00341506.

On October 13, 2016, several ARMs unexpectedly alarmed when six filters were simultaneously lifted from the SFP to be placed into a radioactive waste liner. The radiation work permit (RWP) governing performance of the job, RWP 3003788, Revision 00, dated September 7, 2016, had the following

, "Hold Point

," requirements in the event that unexpected radiological conditions occurred during the movement of spent filters: Stop work immediately and notify RP personnel if an unanticipated ARM alarms.

If a reading greater than 10 rem/hour contact or 800 millirem/hour at 30 centimeters was detected, but not expected, place the filter back into the SFP

. The six filters that had been raised from the SFP had radiation levels as high as 14,000 rem/hour on contact and over 300 rem/hour at almost 30 centimeters. However, the filters were placed in the liner rather than back into the SFP , as specified in the RWP and instruct ed by RP staff during the evolution.

Technical Specification 5.4.1.a requires, in part, that procedures be written, implemented, and established for those areas recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Revision 2, 1978. Section 7(e) of Appendix A recommends written procedures for RWP systems to control access to radioactive materials and limit personnel exposure.

Radiation Work Permit 3003788 stated, in part, in the event of unexpected radiological conditions during movement of spent filters, stop work immediately if an unanticipated area radiation monitor alarms, and if a reading greater than 10 rem/hour contact was detected but not expected, place the filter back into the SFP

. Contrary to the above, on October 13, 2016 , the licensee failed to stop work immediately when several area radiation monitors unexpectedly alarmed and failed to place the filters back into the SFP when readings greater than 10 rem/hour contact were detected but not expected

. Subsequently, 16 workers received an additional 63.5 millirem when the instructions of the RWP and RP staff were not followed

. The finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not involve:

(1) as-low-as-reasonably achievable (ALARA) planning and controls

(2) a radiological overexposure;

(3) a substantial potential for an exposure; or (4)a compromised ability to assess the dose.

This issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as ARs 356390 and 358265.
