SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000483/2007005
Dear Mr. Naslund:
On December 31, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed aninspection at your Callaway Plant. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on January 8, 2008, with Mr. T. E. Hermann, Vice President -
Engineering, and other members of your staff.This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.This report documents five findings that were evaluated under the risk significancedetermination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has determined that violations are associated with these issues. Additionally, a licensee identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is listed in this report.
Because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, these violations are being treated as noncited violations, consistent with Section VI.A of the Enforcement Policy. If you contest these noncited violations you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Callaway Plant facility.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, itsenclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Union Electric Company-2-document system (ADAMS).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000483/2007005; 09/23-12/31/2007; Callaway Plant: Equipment Alignment, MaintenanceRisk Assessments and Emergent Work Control, Access Control to Radiologically Significant
Areas and Other.This report covered a 3-month inspection by resident inspectors, a regional health physicist,operations engineers, reactor inspectors, and an emergency preparedness inspector. Five Green noncited violations were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by theircolor (Green, White, Yellow, or Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process." Findings for which the Significance Determination Process does not apply may be Green or assigned a severity level after NRC's management review. The NRC's program of overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG 1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 3, dated July 2000.A.Inspector-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50,Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," after AmerenUE confirmed that the load shedding emergency load sequencing test could not demonstrate that component cooling water pump breakers would perform satisfactorily in service. On November 19, 2007, AmerenUE determined that quantitative data did not exist to demonstrate that component cooling water pump breakers would be capable of closing at Step 1 (5 seconds) of the load shedding emergency load sequence. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18, testing of the emergency load sequencing, required the licensee to verify that load blocks are actuated within +/-10 percent of the specified start time. This finding is more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safetymitigating systems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using the Manual Chapter 0609,
"Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 worksheet, this finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent a loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time and did not affect seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating events (Section 1R04).
- Green.
The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) afterAmerenUE operating personnel failed to implement prescribed risk management actions associated with maintenance on the Train B emergency diesel generator. On October 2, 2007, NRC inspectors performed a walkdown of the risk management actions prescribed and noted the omission of the measures to protect the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump. AmerenUE's review determined that operators failed to follow work instructions to post the protective measure.
2This finding affected the mitigating systems cornerstone. This finding is greater thanminor because it was related to maintenance risk management; the overall plant risk assessed was greater than 1.0 E-6; and the licensee failed to implement some prescribed significant compensatory measures. Using Manual Chapter 0609,
Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process," Flowchart 2, "Assessment of Risk Management Actions," the inspectors determined this finding to be of very low safety significance because other risk management actions were taken. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the areaof human performance associated with the work practices component because operating personnel did not follow instructions to implement the licensee's prescribed risk management actions H.4(b) (Section 1R13).
Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety
- Green.
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of a TechnicalSpecification 5.4.1.a. required procedure that resulted in the external contamination of a work group with two of the four workers receiving internal contamination. Specifically, a work group alarmed the personnel contamination monitors while exiting the Radiological Control Area. The licensee investigated the event and determined that the workers did not use the faceshields as required by their radiation work permit and that the radiation protection technician failed to recognize that the workers did not have them. As corrective action, the licensee developed a plant systems job aid for new and supplemental radiation protection technicians, added the event as operating experience to radiation protection and radiation worker training, and implemented disciplinaryaction. The failure to adhere to a radiation work permit requirement is a performancedeficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the occupational radiation safety exposure control attribute and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from unnecessary exposure to radiation. The failure to adhere to a radiation work permit requirement led to workers' unintended and additional personnel exposure. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not involve: (1) as low as reasonably achievable planning and controls, (2) an overexposure, (3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose. In addition, this finding has a human performance crosscutting component with an aspectof work practices in human error prevention techniques because the workers did not use peer- and self-checking to ensure the radiation work permit required protective equipment was used H.4(a) (Section 2OS1).*Green. The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of a TechnicalSpecification 5.4.1.a. required procedure that resulted when mechanical maintenance workers did not report electronic dosimeter alarms when received. Specifically, during troubleshooting of a waste gas compressor failure, two mechanical maintenance workers received an electronic dosimeter dose rate alarm. The workers exited the room, checked their dosimeters for a dose alarm, determined the noise was due to the compressor, and returned to work as no worker had a visible dose alarm. The workers failed to recognize that the electronic dosimeters would not hold and display a dose rate alarm once out of the elevated radiation field. The workers did not notify radiation 3protection of the electronic dosimeter alarms. When exiting the radiological controlarea, the electronic dosimeter system alerted the workers to the alarms and barred them from the radiological control area for further entries. As corrective action, the workers were coached on expected dosimeter alarm response and the mechanical maintenance supervisor discussed the event during their group meeting as a learning experience.The failure to notify radiation protection of an electronic dosimeter alarm is aperformance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the occupational radiation safety exposure control attribute and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from unnecessary exposure to radiation. The failure to notify radiation protection in the event of an electronic dosimeter alarm could lead to a worker's unintended and additional personnel exposure. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not involve: (1) as low as reasonably achievable planning and controls, (2) an overexposure, (3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose. In addition, this finding has a human performance crosscutting component with an aspect of work practices in human error prevention techniques because the workers proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected circumstances when dose rate alarms were received H.4(a) (2OS1).
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
- Green.
The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q),10 CFR 50.47(b)(10), and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, IV(B), for practices that require licensee protective action recommendations to be made for areas offsite that are not affected by the radiological release, contrary to federal guidance. Programmatic expectations (including on-the-job training) to recommend offsite protective actions for the public in areas where dose assessment has not identified that protective action guides are exceeded is a performance deficiency.This finding is more than minor because it is not similar to the examples of ManualChapter 0612, Appendix E, and has the potential to impact public safety. This finding is of very low safety significance because it is a failure to comply with NRC requirements, is associated with Emergency Preparedness Planning Standard 50.47(b)(10), is associated with a risk significant planning standard as defined in Manual Chapter 0609,
Appendix B, and is not a risk significant planning standard functional failure or risk significant planning standard degraded function because appropriate licensee protective action recommendations in accordance with federal guidance would be issued for all areas of the emergency planning zone where Protective Action Guides are identified as exceeded. This finding is a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and 50.47(b)(10).
The licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action system as Callaway Action Request 200707375. This finding was evaluated as not having a crosscutting aspect (Section 4OA5).

b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation (NCV) of 10 CFRPart 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," after determining that the licensee had not correctly identified all engineered safety features actuation sequencing test prerequisites and initial conditions per Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18.Description. On November 15, 2007, NRC inspectors determined AmerenUE had notaccounted for an interlock with the component cooling water pump breaker and the time to charge the component cooling water pump breaker charging springs should the 4 kV essential busses experience a loss of offsite power. On November 19, 2007, AmerenUE determined that quantitative data did not exist to support that component cooling water pump breakers would be capable of closing at Step 1 (5 seconds) of the load shedding emergency load sequence. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18, testing of the emergency load sequencing, required the licensee to verify that load blocks are actuated within +/-10 percent of the specified stop time.
Per the Technical Specification bases, the 10 percent interval tolerance ensures that sufficient time exists for the diesel generator to restore frequency and voltage prior to applying the next load and that safety analysis assumptions regarding equipment time delays are not violated.An undervoltage condition on the 4 kV bus with an emergency charging pump alreadyrunning would cause the component cooling water pump breakers to receive a simultaneous open and close signal. This would result in the breakers' charging springs to be discharged and recharged every 3.99 seconds as the diesel speed and voltage are increasing to nominal values. AmerenUE was not able to verify compliance with Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18 because the duration of the charging spring time had never been tested and the test had not been performed with an already running emergency centrifugal charging pump. Subsequent to this discovery, the licensee changed out the affected breakers and verified that the "as found" and "as left" breaker spring charging times tested in an acceptable time. This new data supported the licensee's operability determination. This condition was previously described and evaluated by AmerenUE under Callaway Action Request (CAR) 200308820 but did not address the testing requirements of Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18. In accordance with Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.0.3, AmerenUE determined the risk associated with deferring additional Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18 testing until the next refueling outage was acceptable.Analysis. The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved failure ofAmerenUE to establish appropriate initial test conditions. This finding, failure to 3correctly test 4 kV essential bus loading, is more than minor because it was associatedwith the reactor safety mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure availability and reliability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences.
Using Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 worksheet, this finding was determined to have very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system safety function, did not represent a loss of safety function of a single train for greater than its Technical Specification allowed outage time, and did not affect seismic, flooding, or severe weather initiating events.
Enforcement.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," required thelicensee to ensure all testing required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures. Test procedures shall include provisions for assuring that all prerequisites for the given test have been met. Contrary to the above, on November 19, 2007, the load shedding emergency load sequencing test could not demonstrate that component cooling water pump breakers would perform satisfactorily in service. Also the licensee had not tested the load sequencers with a prerequisite initial condition of an emergency charging pump running. Because this issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200711067), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000483/2007005-01, Failure to Establish Needed Test Conditions to Satisfy Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.18).
1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05)Quarterly Inspection
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors walked down the eight listed plant areas to assess the material conditionof active and passive fire protection features and their operational lineup and readiness.
The inspectors: (1) verified that transient combustibles and hot work activities were controlled in accordance with plant procedures; (2) observed the condition of fire detection devices to verify they remained functional; (3) observed fire suppression systems to verify they remained functional and that access to manual actuators was unobstructed; (4) verified that fire extinguishers and hose stations were provided at their designated locations and that they were in a satisfactory condition; (5) verified that passive fire protection features (electrical raceway barriers, fire doors, fire dampers, steel fire proofing, penetration seals, and oil collection systems) were in a satisfactory material condition; (6) verified that adequate compensatory measures were established for degraded or inoperable fire protection features and that the compensatory measures were commensurate with the significance of the deficiency; and (7) reviewed the FSAR to determine if AmerenUE identified and corrected fire protection problems. *September 28, 2007, Fire Area A-22, Control Room Air Conditioning andFiltration Room 4*September 28, 2007, Fire Area F-1, Fuel Building General Area*October 16, 2007, Fire Area Ultimate Heat Sink Cooling Tower Rooms

1R07 Biennial Heat Sink Performance (71111.07B)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed design documents (e.g., calculations and performancespecifications), program documents, test and maintenance procedures, and corrective action documents. The inspectors interviewed chemistry personnel, maintenance personnel, engineers, and program managers. When available, the inspectors reviewed additional nondestructive examination results for the selected heat exchangers that demonstrated structural integrity. For those heat exchangers directly connected to the safety-related service watersystem, the inspectors verified whether testing, inspection and maintenance, or the biotic fouling monitoring program provided sufficient controls to ensure proper heat transfer. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed: (1) heat exchanger test methods and test results from performance testing, (2) if necessary, heat exchanger inspection and cleaning methods and results, and (3) chemical treatments for microfouling and controls for macrofouling. For those heat exchangers directly or indirectly connected to the safety-related servicewater system, the inspectors verified the licensee: (1) performed condition monitoring and operation consistent with design assumptions in the heat transfer calculations, (2) evaluated the potential for water hammer, as applicable, (3) instituted appropriate chemistry controls for heat exchangers indirectly connected to the safety-related service water system, and (4) flow tested redundant and infrequently used heat exchangers at maximum design flow. For the ultimate heat sink and its subcomponents, the inspectors verified the licenseeestablished appropriate controls for macrofouling and biological fouling. Since the 6licensee had an above ground ultimate heat sink encapsulated by an embankment andexcavated side slopes, the inspectors: (1) verified the licensee checked for settling and sediment buildup every 5 years, (2) reviewed third-party inspections of the ultimate heat sink, (3) confirmed the licensee established and implemented preventive maintenance tasks to control vegetation, and (4) verified sufficient reservoir capacity existed. The inspectors selected heat exchangers that ranked high in the plant specific riskassessment and were directly or indirectly connected to the safety-related service water system. The inspectors selected the following specific heat exchangers: *EEG01B Component Cooling Water Heat Exchanger B*KKJ01A Diesel Generator A Coolers

.2 Biennial Inspection
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors were on site the week of August 27, 2007, the first week of six totalweeks for operating test administration. The inspectors: (1) evaluated examination 7security measures and procedures for compliance with 10 CFR 55.49; (2) evaluated thelicensee's sample plan of the written examinations for compliance with 10 CFR 55.59 and NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors,"
Revision 9, as referenced in the licensee's requalification program procedures; (3)evaluated each licensed operator's performance on the biennial written examination and the first and second annual operating tests against Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix I, "Operator Requalification Human Performance Significance Determination Process,"
requirements; and (4) reviewed the maintenance of license conditions for compliance with 10 CFR 55.53 by reviewing facility records (medical and administrative),
procedures, and tracking systems for licensed operator training, qualification, and watch standing. The inspectors reviewed remedial training for examination failures for compliance with facility procedures and adequacy to address deficient areas. Furthermore, the inspectors: (1) interviewed five personnel, including operators,instructors, evaluators, and training supervisors, regarding the policies and practices for administering requalification examinations; (2) observed the administration of two dynamic simulator scenarios to one requalification crew; and (3) observed three evaluators administer five job performance measures, including two in the control room simulator in a dynamic mode and three in the plant under simulated conditions.On December 17, 2007, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the fullrequalification examination results to assess whether pass rates were consistent with the guidance of NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix I. Results are listed below:Results:*The licensee identified that 2 out of 9 crews evaluated failed the dynamicsimulator test. These failures are documented in CARs 200708172 and 200709229.
- The licensee identified that 1 out of 47 individuals failed the dynamic simulator test.*The licensee identified that 2 out of 47 individuals failed the walk-through test(job performance measures).* The licensee identified that 6 out of 47 individuals failed the comprehensivebiennial written examination.* The licensee identified that 39 out of 47 individuals passed all portions of theexam. The inspectors interviewed members of the training department and operating crews toassess the responsiveness of the licensed operator requalification program. The inspectors also observed examination security practices for the operating tests given while the inspectors were on site August 27-31, 2007.Additionally, the inspectors assessed the Callaway Plant-referenced simulator forcompliance with 10 CFR 55.46 using Baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.11 8(Section 03.11). This assessment included the adequacy of the licensee's simulationfacility for use in operator licensing examinations and for satisfying experience requirements as prescribed by 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors reviewed a sample of simulator performance test records (transient tests, surveillance tests, malfunction tests, and scenario-based tests), simulator discrepancy report records, and processes for ensuring simulator fidelity commensurate with 10 CFR 55.46. The inspectors also interviewed members of the licensee's simulator configuration control group as part of this review. The inspectors completed one sample.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified. Because the simulator was not on the samecore load as the reference plant, the inspectors informed the licensee that the simulator could not be used for satisfying experience requirements by performing reactivity/control manipulation credits on the simulator for the next initial exam application submittal unless all requirements of 10 CFR 55.46 are met and a review by the regional office is completed.
1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the three listed maintenance conditions to: (1) verify theappropriate handling of structures, systems, and component performance or condition problems; (2) verify the appropriate handling of degraded structures, systems, or component functional performance; (3) evaluate the role of work practices and common cause problems; and (4) evaluate the handling of structures, systems, or component issues reviewed under the requirements of the maintenance rule, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and the Technical Specifications. *CAR 200709523, Train B, Failure to report unavailability time for the normalservice water system. *CAR 200709540, Maintenance related failures of Train B emergency dieselgenerator. *CAR 200709688, Failure of Valve BNHV8806 to open due to a sticking auxiliarycontact.

b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) afterAmerenUE operating personnel failed to implement prescribed risk management actions associated with maintenance on the Train B emergency diesel generator.
Description.
On October 2, 2007, operating personnel rendered the Train B emergencydiesel generator and essential service water pump inoperable for planned maintenance.
AmerenUE's risk assessment for the maintenance prescribed protecting the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump with signs to communicate the importance of maintaining the pump available per Procedure EDP-ZZ-1129. NRC inspectors performed a walkdown of the risk management actions prescribed and noted the omission of the measures to protect the pump. AmerenUE's review determined that operators had failed to follow work instructions to post the protective measure.
Analysis.
The performance deficiency associated with this finding involved a failure tofollow work instructions to implement risk management actions. This finding is greater than minor because it was related to maintenance risk management; the overall plant risk assessed was greater than 1.0 E-6; and the licensee failed to implement prescribed significant compensatory measures. This finding, involving the auxiliary feedwater system, was associated with the mitigating systems cornerstone equipment 10performance attribute and affected the objective to ensure the availability, reliability, andcapability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix K, "Maintenance Risk Assessment and Risk Management Significance Determination Process,"
Flowchart 2, "Assessment of Risk Management Actions," to analyze the finding.The inspectors determined this finding is of very low safety significance because theAppendix K flowchart result was Green based on an incremental core damage probability greater than 1 E-6 and less than 1 E-5 and three or more risk management actions taken. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performanceassociated with the work practices component because operating personnel did not follow instructions to implement the licensee's prescribed risk management actions
H.4(b).Enforcement. 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) required the licensee to assess and manage theincrease in risk that may result from proposed maintenance activities. Contrary to the above, on October 2, 2007, the licensee failed to adequately manage the increase in risk that occurred during the maintenance of the Train B emergency diesel generator.
Because this issue was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200709330), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000483/2007005-02, Failure to Adequately Manage Increased Risk During a Maintenance Activity.)1R15Operability Evaluations (71111.15)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors: (1) reviewed plant status documents such as operator shift logs,emergent work documentation, deferred modifications, and standing orders to determine if an operability determination was warranted for degraded components; (2) referred to the FSAR and design basis documents to review the technical adequacy of licensee operability determinations; (3) evaluated compensatory measures associated with operability determinations; (4) determined degraded component impact on any Technical Specifications; (5) used the significance determination process to evaluate the risk significance of degraded or inoperable equipment; and (6) verified that AmerenUE has identified and implemented appropriate corrective actions associated with degraded components. *October 5, 2007, CAR 200708874, Operability Determination for PressureTransmitter BBPT-455 Out of Calibration*October 5, 2007, CAR 200709602, Emergency Diesel Generator B IntercoolerPump Mechanical Seal Leak The inspectors completed two samples.

RADIATION SAFETY
Cornerstone:
Occupational Radiation Safety 2OS1Access Control to Radiologically Significant Areas (71121.01)
a. Inspection Scope
This area was inspected to assess the licensee's performance in implementing physicaland administrative controls for airborne radioactivity areas, radiation areas, high radiation areas, and worker adherence to these controls. The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20, the Technical Specifications, and the licensee's procedures required by Technical Specifications as criteria for determining compliance.
During the inspection, the inspectors interviewed the radiation protection manager, radiation protection supervisors, and radiation workers. The inspectors performed independent radiation dose rate measurements and reviewed the following items:*Performance indicator events and associated documentation packages reportedby the licensee in the occupational radiation safety cornerstone *Controls (surveys, posting, and barricades) of radiation, high radiation, orairborne radioactivity areas in the auxiliary, spent fuel pool, and radiate buildings*Radiation work permits, procedures, engineering controls, and air samplerlocations*Conformity of electronic personal dosimeter alarm set points with surveyindications and plant policy; workers' knowledge of required actions when their electronic personnel dosimeter noticeably malfunctions or alarms*Barrier integrity and performance of engineering controls in three potentialairborne radioactivity areas *Adequacy of the licensee's internal dose assessment for any actual internalexposure greater than 50 millirem committed effective dose equivalent 15*Physical and programmatic controls for highly activated or contaminatedmaterials (nonfuel) stored within spent fuel and other storage pools. *Corrective action documents related to access controls

b. Findings
.1Introduction. The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, Green NCV of a TechnicalSpecification 5.4.1.a. required procedure that resulted in the external contamination of a work group with two of the four workers receiving internal contamination.Description. On April 11, 2007, workers removing valve bonnet, stem, and discassemblies from valve actuators in Room 1124 alarmed the personnel contamination monitors upon exiting the radiological control area. The radiation protection technician providing job coverage stopped the work activity when surveys indicated contamination rates of up to 40 mRad beta and requested the workers place the work in a safe condition and leave the area. All four workers in the area, including the radiation protection technician, were found to be contaminated. Two workers could not clear the personnel contamination monitors and were sent for whole body counts. The internal dose assessment for each individual was less than 1 millie. The licensee investigated the event and determined that the workers did not use the faceshields as required by their radiation work permit when breaching contaminated systems and that the radiation protection technician failed to recognize the workers were without their faceshields. As corrective action, the licensee developed a plant systems job aid for new and supplemental radiation protection technicians, added the event as an operating experience to radiation protection and radiation worker training, and implementeddisciplinary action.
Analysis.
Failure to adhere to a radiation work permit requirement is a performancedeficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the occupational radiation safety exposure control attribute and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of worker health and safety from 16unnecessary exposure to radiation. Failure to adhere to a radiation work permitrequirement led to workers' unintended and additional personnel exposure. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it did not involve: (1) as low as reasonably achieved (ALARA) planning and controls, (2) an overexposure, (3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose. In addition, this finding has a human performance crosscutting component with an aspectof work practices in human error prevention techniques because the workers did not use peer- and self-checking to ensure the radiation work permit required protective equipment was used H.4(a).Enforcement. Technical Specification 5.4.1.a. required procedures be established,implemented, and maintained covering activities specified in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Section 7.e. of the Regulatory Guide required procedures for access control to radiation areas including a radiation work permit system. Procedure APA-ZZ-01004, "Radiological Work Standards," Revision 8, Step 3.7 required radiation workers to adhere to the radiological work standards detailed within procedures, the radiation work permit, and plant training programs. In addition, Step 4.1.1. of the same procedure required, in part, radiation workers ensure they know their radiation work permit requirements including the special instructions. Radiation Work Permit 06116341500, "Special Instructions for Workers Require the Use of Face Shields When Contaminated Systems are Breached," Revision 0. Contrary to Procedure APA-ZZ-01004, workers did not adhere to their radiation work permit requirement to use face shields when contaminated systems were breached. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200703726), this violation is being treated as an noncited violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000483/2007005-03, Failure to Adhere to a Radiation Work Permit Requirement..
Introduction.
The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of a TechnicalSpecification 5.4.1.a. required procedure that resulted when mechanical maintenance workers did not report electronic dosimeter alarms when initially received.Description. On June 25, 2007, two mechanical maintenance workers received doserate alarms during an entry into the Waste Gas Compressor Room B. The workers were briefed for the radiological conditions prior to entering the room. During the work activity, a worker thought they heard a dose rate alarm. The workers exited the room, checked their dosimeters for a dose alarm, determined the noise was due to the compressor, and returned to work as no worker had a visible dose alarm. The workers failed to recognize that the electronic dosimeters would not hold and display a dose rate alarm once out of the elevated radiation field. The workers did not notify radiation protection of the electronic dosimeter alarms. When exiting the radiological control area, the electronic dosimeter system alerted the workers to the alarms and barred them from the radiological control area for further entries. For the two workers that received the dose rate alarms, one dose rate alarm was a single alarm lasting for 10 seconds while the other worker had four alarms with one lasting for 40 seconds. As corrective action, the workers were coached on expected dosimeter alarm response and the mechanical maintenance supervisor discussed the event during their group meeting as a learning experience.
17Analysis. Failure to notify radiation protection of an electronic dosimeter alarm is aperformance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the occupational radiation safety exposure control attribute and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from unnecessary exposure to radiation. Failure to notify radiation protection in the event of an electronic dosimeter alarm could lead to a worker's unintended and additional personnel exposure. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance 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. In addition, this finding has a human performance crosscutting component with an aspectof work practices in human error prevention techniques because the workers proceeded in the face of uncertainty or unexpected circumstances when dose rate alarms were received H.4(a).Enforcement. Technical Specification 5.4.1.a. required procedures be established,implemented and maintained covering activities specified in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Section 7.e. of the Regulatory Guide required procedures for access control to radiation areas including a radiation work permit system. Procedure APA-ZZ-01004, "Radiological Work Standards," Revision 8, Step 4.1.1 required, in part, radiation workers ensure they know their actions upon an electronic dosimeter alarm which are to place work in a safe condition, exit the work area, and report the alarm to radiation protection. Contrary to Procedure APA-ZZ-01004, the workers did not report their electronic dosimeter alarms during their work activity to radiation protection personnel. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (CAR 200706231), this violation is being treated as a noncited violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000483/2007005-04, Failure to Notify Radiation Protection of an Electronic Dosimeter Alarm.2OS2ALARA Planning and Controls (71121.02)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors assessed licensee performance with respect to maintaining individualand collective radiation exposures ALARA. The inspectors used the requirements in 10 CFR Part 20 and the licensee's procedures required by Technical Specifications as criteria for determining compliance. The inspectors interviewed licensee personnel and reviewed:*Current 3-year rolling average collective exposure

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
a. Inspection Scope
Reactor Safety CornerstoneOn November 16, 2007, the inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the performanceindicators listed below for the period from June 2006 through June 2007. The definitions and guidance of Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline," Revision 4, were used to verify the licensee's basis for reporting each data element in order to verify the accuracy of performance indicator data reported during the assessment period. The inspectors reviewed licensee event reports, out-of-service logs, operating logs, and the maintenance rule database as part of the assessment. In addition, the inspectors interviewed licensee personnel associated with performance indicator data collection, evaluation, and distribution. *Auxiliary Feedwater System*Residual Heat Removal System
- Support Cooling SystemThe inspectors completed three samples in this cornerstone.
Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness The inspectors reviewed licensee documents from October 1, 2006, through June 30,2007. The review included corrective action documentation that identified occurrences in locked high radiation areas (as defined in the licensee's Technical Specifications),
very high radiation areas (as defined in 10 CFR 20.1003), and unplanned personnel exposures (as defined in Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, "Regulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline," Revision 5). Additional records reviewed included ALARA records 20and whole body counts of selected individual exposures. The inspectors interviewedlicensee personnel that were accountable for collecting and evaluating the performance indicator data. In addition, the inspectors toured plant areas to verify that high radiation, locked high radiation, and very high radiation areas were properly controlled.
Performance indicator definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, Revision 5, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.The inspectors completed the required sample (1) in this cornerstone.
Public Radiation Safety CornerstoneRadiological Effluent Technical Specification/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Radiological Effluent Occurrences The inspectors reviewed licensee documents from October 1, 2006, through June 30,2007. Licensee records reviewed included corrective action documentation that identified occurrences for liquid or gaseous effluent releases that exceeded performance indicator thresholds and those reported to the NRC. The inspectors interviewed licensee personnel that were accountable for collecting and evaluating the performance indicator data. Performance indicator definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute 99-02, Revision 5, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.The inspectors completed the required sample (1) in this cornerstone.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.4OA2Identification and Resolution of Problems (71152).1Routine Review of Identification and Resolution of Problems
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the licensee'scorrective action program. This assessment was accomplished by reviewing the daily CAR screening report and control room logs and attending selected CAR board and work control meetings. The inspectors: (1) verified that equipment, human performance, and program issues were being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold and that the issues were entered into the corrective action program; (2) verified that corrective actions were commensurate with the significance of the issue; and (3) identified conditions that might warrant additional followup through other baseline inspection procedures.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
21.2Selected Issue Followup Inspection
a. Inspection Scope
In addition to the routine review, the inspectors selected the below listed issues for amore in-depth review. The inspectors considered the following during the review of AmerenUE's actions: (1) complete and accurate identification of the problem in a timely manner; (2) evaluation and disposition of operability/reportability issues; (3) consideration of extent of condition, generic implications, common cause, and previous occurrences; (4) classification and prioritization of the resolution of the problem; (5) identification of root and contributing causes of the problem; (6) identification of corrective actions; and (7) completion of corrective actions in a timely manner. *October 4, 2007, CAR 200709540, Train B emergency diesel field flash did notflash*October 17, 2007, CAR 200708619, ECV0081 consequential disposition

The inspectors completed three samples, one being an operator workaround.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified. The inspectors noted that there were fourexamples of nonrisk significant operator workarounds not classified, nor required to be classified, as workarounds by the licensee workaround program. Inspection Procedure 71152 defines an operator workaround as operator action(s) taken to compensate for a degraded or nonconforming condition that complicates the operation of plant equipment. A risk significant operator workaround is defined as operator action(s) taken to compensate for a degraded or nonconforming condition which could result in an increase in the baseline core damage or large early release frequency. The cumulative review focused on degradations to the Train B emergency diesel shutdown lever, leaking valves affecting the refueling water storage system, the refueling water storage tank vent vulnerability to icing and a failing pressure switch for one of the Train B emergency diesel starting air receivers. Each of these resulted in complicated operation of plant equipment, yet was not considered as an operator workaround by the licensee. Three of the items were complex enough to require operations department night orders to provide guidance on handling the degradations. The corrective actions for the two refueling water storage tank issues were noted to have unexpected delays due to engineering problems. In each case the licensee appropriately evaluated and maintained the affected equipment operability.
22.3Semiannual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors completed a semiannual trend review of repetitive or closely relatedissues that were documented in plant trend reports, problem lists, performance indicators, system health reports, quality assurance audit reports, corrective documents, and corrective maintenance documents to identify trends that might indicate the existence of more safety significant issues. The inspectors' review consisted of the 6-month period of June through December 2007. When warranted, some of the samples extended beyond those dates to fully assess the issue. The inspectors compared and contrasted their results with the Third Quarter 2007 - Callaway Quarterly Trend Report (AUPI 07-005).The inspectors completed one sample.
b. Assessment and ObservationsLicensee Identified Adverse TrendsThe licensee identified adverse trends in use of and adherence to procedures, plantstatus control, and emergency Action Level declarations. The inspectors agree that each of these three sets of adverse conditions have had sufficient examples to be considered an adverse trend. The inspectors reviewed and communicated additional examples of each of these trends to the licensee. Specifically, the use of "local control"for maintenance activity worker protection was a contributor to two of the examples.
.4 Radiation Safety

a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated licensee corrective actions related to the health of the ultimateheat sink during this inspection and reviewed other corrective actions since the last heat sink inspection in November 2005.
23
b. Findings
The inspectors determined that, as a result of numerous issues, the licensee developedan appropriate plan to resolve the numerous deficiencies related to internal corrosion of their essential service water piping. The long standing deficiencies related to corrosion and low flow conditions in small bore piping, flow erosion at flow orifices and the essential service water pump discharge piping, microbiologically induced corrosion of their large bore piping and corrosion of vent and drain valves. The licensee established a plan to correct these deficiencies during Refueling Outage 16. The licensee documented their plans in CAR 200704465. 4OA5Other.1(Closed) Unresolved Item 05000483/2007004-01, Licensee Practices Allow ProtectiveAction Recommendations for Areas Where Protective Action Guides are not Exceeded
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensee protective action recommendation practices.
Thisissue involved recommendations made by the licensee to offsite authorities, and was previously characterized as "Unresolved" pending NRC consultation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A discussion was held with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VII, on October 10, 2007, to ensure a completeunderstanding of the issue.
b. Findings
Introduction.
The inspectors identified a Green NCV for licensee practices that allowedprotective action recommendations be made by the licensee for areas of the emergency planning zone in which radiological protective action guides have not been exceeded, contrary to federal guidance and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(b)(10) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, IV(B).Description. The NRC identified that Procedure EIP-ZZ-00212, "Protective ActionRecommendations," Revision 21, allows the licensee to generate shelter or evacuation protective action recommendations for members of the public in areas of the emergency planning zone where radiological protective action guides have not been exceeded. The licensee and offsite agencies have adopted a prompt protective action scheme based on EPA-400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents," and NUREG-0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Protective Action Recommendations for Severe Accidents," that provides for retaining prior protective action recommendations as meteorological conditions change, as discussed in Regulatory Information Summary 2003-12, "Clarification of NRC Guidance for Modifying Protective Actions." However, inspectors determined that with an existing keyhole protective action recommendation, when a wind shift occurs followed by an increased severity in the radiological release (which would require evacuation of affected down-wind sectors 10 miles from the plant), the licensee's practice is to recommend 24protective actions 10 miles downwind from the plant in every emergency planning zonesector that is currently affected, and was previously recommended for actions between 2 and 5 miles from the reactor, regardless of the prevailing wind direction at the time the radiological release increases in severity. Federal guidance for the choice of protective actions during an emergency is describedin EPA-400-R-92-001. Specifically, a protective action recommendation is warranted when radiation doses are projected between 1 and 5 rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent, or between 5 and 25 rem Thyroid Committed Effective Dose Equivalent.
Guidance also recommends that protective action decisions be based on dose projections without waiting for confirming environmental measurements, and states that protective actions are seldom justified in areas where the protective action guides are not exceeded, based in part on minimizing overall risk to the public (balancing the risk of radiation injury against the risk of taking protective actions).The inspectors interviewed licensee emergency planners, emergency responseorganization dose assessment staff, and licensee management, concerning the expectations and practices for protective action recommendations under conditions of changing wind direction and radiological severity. The inspectors posed an example consisting of a slow 180° wind shift followed (after the wind direction stabilizes) by additional core damage, to illustrate and understand the licensee's practices. The inspectors determined that, under the posted conditions, the licensee would recommend extending protective actions to ten miles in all emergency planning zone sectors where actions had previously been recommended between 2 and 5 miles, and the licensee's recommendation would not be limited to those sectors radiologically affected at the time core damage increased in severity.The inspectors determined that, under conditions of changing wind direction and releaseseverity, the licensee's practices would always result in appropriate protective action recommendations to offsite authorities for areas where radiological risk to the public exists, but can also result in recommendations to take action in areas where radiological risk is not determined to exist.Analysis. Practices (including associated training) to recommend offsite protectiveactions for the public in areas where dose assessment has not identified that protective action guides are exceeded is a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is not similar to the examples of Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, and has the potential to impact public safety in that unnecessary protective actions may expose unaffected members of the public to additional risk. The finding is associated with the emergency response organization attributes of 50.47(b) planning standards and training.
The finding affects the emergency preparedness cornerstone objective because recommendations to offsite authorities to take protective actions in areas where protective action guides are not identified as exceeded affects the ability to protect the health and safety of the public, and may result in unnecessary risk to the public. This finding was evaluated using the emergency preparedness significance determination process and was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because: it is a failure to comply with NRC requirements, is associated with emergency preparedness planning standard 50.47(b)(10), is associated with a risk significant planning standard as defined in Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix B, Section 2.0, and is not a risk significant 25planning standard functional failure or a risk significant planning standard degradedfunction because appropriate protective action recommendations would be issued for all areas of the plume phase emergency planning zone where protective action guides are identified as exceeded. The finding was evaluated as not having a crosscutting aspect.Enforcement. 10 CFR 50.54(q) states, in part, "A licensee . . . shall follow and maintainin effect emergency plans which meet the standards in §50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E . . ." 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) states, in part, "A range of protective actions have been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place . . ." 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, IV(B) states, in part, "The means to be used for determining the magnitude of and for continually assessing the impact of the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including . . . the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outside the site boundary to protect health and safety . . ." Federal guidance for the choice of protective actions during an emergency is described in EPA-400-R-92-001.
Licensee Procedure EIP-ZZ-00212, "Protective Action Recommendations," Revision 21, states, in part, "(§5.1.1.2) Subsequent protective action recommendations are made based on plant conditions (taking into account core and containment conditions) and/or dose assessment. (§5.1.2) If dose calculations project doses beyond 5 miles that exceed protective action guidelines for evacuation (1 rem TED, 5 rem CD Thyroid) . . .
upgrade protective action recommendations to evacuate a 5 mile radius around the plant and 10 miles downwind of the plant in affected sectors . . . (§5.1.4) If affected sectors change based on meteorological conditions . . . the protective actions should be modified accordingly." Contrary to the above, the licensee's implementation of Procedure EIP-ZZ-00212 did notensure that guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with federal guidance, are developed and in place. Specifically, licenseeupgrades to protective action recommendations were not made based on plant conditions and dose assessments or appropriately modified based on meteorological conditions because licensee processes may result in the licensee issuing protective action recommendations to offsite authorities for areas of the plume phase emergency planning zone between 5 and 10 miles downwind where doses to the public are not projected in excess of federal protective action guides. Because this failure is of very low safety significance and has been entered into the licensee's corrective action system (CAR 200707375), this violation is being treated as an noncited violation, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy:
NCV 05000483/2007005-05, Licensee Practices Allow Protective Action Recommendations for Areas Where Protective Action Guides Are Not Exceeded.4OA6Management MeetingsExit Meeting SummaryOn October 5, 2007, the inspector presented the occupational radiation safetyinspection results to Mr. F. Diya, Plant Director, and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings.
26On November 8, 2007, the inspectors presented the results of biennial heat sinkinspection to Mr. T. Herrmann, Vice President, Engineering, and other members of licensee management. The licensee acknowledged the information presented.On November 15, 2007, the inspectors presented the emergency preparednessexercise inspection results to Mr. K. Bruckerhoff, Supervisor, Emergency Preparedness, who acknowledged the findings.The inspectors presented the licensed-operator biennial requalification inspection resultsduring a telephonic exit to Mr. B. Barton, Training Manager, at the conclusion of the inspection on December 18, 2007. The licensee acknowledged the findings presented.
The inspectors asked the licensee whether any materials examined during the inspection should be considered proprietary. No proprietary information was identified.On January 8, 2008, the resident inspectors presented the results of their inspection toMr. T. E. Hermann, Vice President - Engineering, and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings. 4OA7Licensee-Identified ViolationsThe following violation of very low significance was identified by the licensee and is aviolation of NRC requirements, which meets the criteria of Section VI of the NRC Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as noncited violation.*10 CFR 50.83 requires, in part, that prior to releasing part of a facility or site forunrestricted use, the licensee shall obtain NRC approval. Contrary to this, in January 2007, the licensee identified that on April 20, 2004, it had sold two parcels of land totaling 0.83 acres near the Highway 94 bridge at Logan Creek to the State of Missouri without obtaining NRC approval of the release of the land for unrestricted use. This was entered in the licensee's corrective action program as CAR 200700893. On May 15, 2007, the licensee submitted a request, consistent with 10 CFR 50.83, seeking approval to release these parcels of land.
This finding is of very low safety significance because the property meets the definition of non-impacted areas in accordance with 10 CFR 50.2, and the property has no reasonable potential for residual radioactivity in excess of natural background. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, because the violation impacted the regulatory process, it was not suitable for evaluation under the Significance Determination Process and, therefore, was categorized at Severity Level IV.
