NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity
$
- Green.
The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B,Criterion V, for failure to implement licensee Procedure SPP-6.5, Foreign Material Control. During a review of the core verification video following refuelingand reactor vessel head installation, the inspectors identified debris within theReactor Coolant System (RCS), not previously identified by the licensee. Thelicensee took immediate action to enter the problem into their corrective actionprogram and evaluate whether the reactor coolant system could safely operatewith the material left behind.The finding was more than minor because the material could have been removedhad it been properly identified and because an evaluation was required to justifyleaving it after the reactor head was installed. The finding was of very low safetysignificance because it affected only the fuel barrier and not the RCS barrier. The finding had no cross-cutting aspects. (Section 1R20.1)
B. Licensee-Identified Violations
None.

a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's Boric Acid Corrosion Control (BACC) program toensure compliance with commitments made in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-05, 7Enclosure"Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Pressure Boundary Components in PWRPlants."The inspectors conducted an on-site record review as well as an independent walkdownof parts of the reactor building that are not normally accessible during at-poweroperations to evaluate compliance with licensee BACC program requirements and 10CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements. In particular, the inspectors verified that the visual examinations focused on locationswhere boric acid leaks can cause degradation of safety-significant components and that degraded or non-conforming conditions were properly identified in the licensee's corrective action system.
The inspectors reviewed a sample of engineering evaluations completed for boric acid found on reactor coolant system piping and components to verify that the minimum design code-required section thickness had been maintained for the affectedcomponents. The inspectors also reviewed licensee corrective actions and problem evaluation reports (PERs), as well as corrosion assessments implemented for evidence of boric acid leakage to confirm that they were consistent with requirements.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified..4Steam Generator (SG) Tube ISI
a. Inspection Scope
From October 12-17, 2007, the inspectors reviewed the Unit 1 SG tube eddy current testing (ECT) examination activities to ensure compliance with Technical Specifications (TS), applicable industry operating experience and technical guidance documents, and ASME Code Section XI requirements.The inspectors reviewed licensee SG inspection activities to ensure that ECTinspections were conducted in accordance with the licensee's SG Program andapplicable industry standards. The inspectors reviewed the SG examination scope, ECTacquisition procedures, site-specific Examination Technique Specification Sheets(ETSS), ECT analysis guidelines, the most recent SG degradation assessment, and thelast operational assessment. The inspectors reviewed documentation to ensure that theECT probes and equipment configurations used were qualified to detect the expectedtypes of SG tube degradation, and a sampling of tube data was reviewed with a Level IIIanalyst.
The inspectors ensured that all tubes with relevant indications wereappropriately screened for in-situ pressure testing. No tubes met the criteria for in-situtesting. Additionally, the inspectors monitored the licensee's secondary side activities,which included a foreign object search and recovery for loose parts, and sludge lancing.
b. Findings

a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed a review of SG and ISI-related problems that were identifiedby the licensee and entered into the corrective action program. The inspectors reviewedthese corrective action program documents to confirm that the licensee hadappropriately described the scope of the problems. In addition, the inspectors' reviewincluded confirmation that the licensee had an appropriate threshold for identifyingissues and had implemented effective corrective actions. The inspectors evaluated thethreshold for identifying issues through interviews with licensee staff and review oflicensee actions to incorporate lessons learned from industry issues related to the ISIprogram. The inspectors performed these reviews to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requirements.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors observed licensed operator requalification testing on December 3, 2007. The testing consisted of two scenarios requiring an Alert declaration. The first involveda steam generator tube rupture. An emergency diesel generator engine developed alubricating oil leak requiring it to be taken out of service followed by a loss of maincondenser vacuum. This resulted in operators initiating a manual reactor trip. Followingthe trip, a steam generator tube rupture occurred with the associated main steamisolation valve failing to operate, both requiring operator actions. The second scenarioinvolved a motor trip of the running centrifugal charging pump and a loss of one mainfeed pump resulting in a turbine runback followed by a failed open pressurizer safetyrelief valve. This resulted in a manual reactor trip and safety injection initiation. Thiswas compounded by all A-train emergency core cooling pumps failing to startautomatically and a failed intermediate range nuclear instrument. The inspectorsobserved crew performance in terms of communications; ability to take timely and properactions; prioritizing, interpreting and verifying alarms; correct use and implementation ofprocedures, including the alarm response procedures and emergency plan eventclassification; timely control board operation and manipulation, including high riskoperator actions; over sight and direction provided by shift m anager, including the abilityto identify and implement appropriate TS actions; independent event classification by theShift Technical Advisor; and group dynamics involved in crew performance. Theinspectors also observed the examining staff's assessment of the crew's performance 9Enclosureand compared them to inspector observations. Documents reviewed are listed in theAttachment.
b. Findings

1R20 Refueling and Other Outage Activities.1Unit 1 Refueling Outage
a. Inspection Scope
For the Unit 1 refueling outage that began on October 4, 2007, the inspectors evaluatedlicensee activities to verify that the licensee considered risk in developing outageschedules, followed risk reduction methods developed to control plant configuration,developed mitigation strategies for the loss of key safety functions, and adhered tooperating license and TS requirements that ensure defense-in-depth. The inspectorsalso walked down portions of Unit 1 not normally accessible during at-power operationsto verify that safety-related and risk-significant SSCs were maintained in an operablecondition. Specifically, between October 4 and November 17, 2007, the inspectorsperformed inspections and reviews of the following outage activities. Documentsreviewed are listed in the Attachment.
12Enclosure*Outage Plan. The inspectors reviewed the outage safety plan and contingencyplans to confirm that the licensee had appropriately considered risk, industryexperience, and previous site-specific problems in developing and implementinga plan that assured maintenance of defense-in-depth.*Reactor Shutdown. The inspectors observed the shutdown in the control roomfrom the time the reactor was tripped until operators placed it on the ResidualHeat Removal (RHR) system for decay heat removal to verify that TS cooldownrestrictions were followed. The inspectors also toured the lower containment assoon as practicable after reactor shutdown to observe the general condition ofthe RCS and emergency core cooling system components and to look forindications of previously unidentified leakage inside the polar crane wall.*Licensee Control of Outage Activities. On a daily basis, the inspectors attendedthe licensee outage turnover meeting, reviewed PERs, and reviewed thedefense-in-depth status sheets to verify that status control was commensuratewith the outage safety plan and in compliance with the applicable TS when takingequipment out-of-service. The inspectors further toured the main control roomand areas of the plant daily to ensure that the following key safety functions weremaintained in accordance with the outage safety plan and TS: electrical power,decay heat removal, spent fuel cooling, inventory control, reactivity control, andcontainment closure. The inspectors also observed a tagout of the ERCWsupply and discharge headers to verify that the equipment was appropriatelyconfigured to safely support the work or testing. To ensure that RCS levelinstrumentation was properly installed and configured to provide accurateinformation, the inspectors reviewed the installation of the Mansell levelmonitoring system. Specifically, the inspectors discussed the system withengineering, walked it down to verify that it was installed in accordance withprocedures and adequately protected from inadvertent damage, verified thatMansell indication properly overlapped with pressurizer level instruments duringpressurizer draindown, verified that operators properly set level alarms toprocedurally required setpoints, and verified that the system consistently trackedRCS level while lowering to reduced inventory conditions. The inspectors alsoobserved operators compare the Mansell indications with locally-installedultrasonic level indicators during entry into mid-loop conditions.During the outage, the inspectors also reviewed the licensee's control of heavyloads to ensure the licensee was properly handling heavy loads in areas where aload drop could impact fuel in the reactor core or equipment that would berequired to achieve safe shutdown. To do this the inspectors examined thelicensee's basis for considering the containment polar crane to be single-failureproof in order to verify that it met industry standards, reviewed the polar cranetesting and inspection done prior to lifting the reactor head, and observed theinitial head lift to verify that it complied with the safe load path specified inlicensee procedures.*Refueling Activities. The inspectors observed fuel movement at the spent fuelpool and at the refueling cavity in order to verify compliance with TS and that 13Enclosureeach assembly was properly tracked from core offload to core reload. In order toverify proper licensee control of foreign material, the inspectors verified thatpersonnel were properly checked before entering any foreign material exclusion(FME) areas, reviewed FME procedures, and verified that the licensee followedthe procedures. To ensure that fuel assemblies were loaded in the corelocations specified by the design, the inspectors independently reviewed therecording of the licensee
=s final core verification.*Reduced Inventory and Mid-Loop Conditions. Prior to the outage, the inspectorsreviewed the licensee
=s commitments to Generic Letter 88-17. Before enteringreduced inventory conditions the inspectors verified that these commitments were in place, that plant configuration was in accordance with thosecommitments, and that distractions from unexpected conditions or emergentwork did not affect operator ability to main tain the required reactor vessel level. While in mid-loop conditions, the inspectors verified that licensee procedures forclosing the containment upon a loss of decay heat removal were in effect, thatoperators were aware of how to implement the procedures, and that otherpersonnel were available to close containment penetrations if needed.*Heatup and Startup Activities. The inspectors toured the containment prior toreactor startup to verify that debris that could affect the performance of thecontainment sump had not been left in the containment. The inspectorsreviewed the licensee
=s mode change checklists to verify that appropriateprerequisites were met prior to changing TS modes. To verify RCS integrity andcontainment integrity, the inspectors further reviewed the licensee
=s RCSleakage calculations and containment isolation valve lineups. In order to verifythat core operating limit parameters were consistent with core design, theinspectors also observed portions of the low power physics testing, includingapproach to reactor criticality.
b. Findings
Introduction:
The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, forfailing to remove or evaluate foreign material in the reactor vessel prior to installing thereactor vessel head as required by licensee procedure.Description: On October 20, 2007 the licensee completed core reload as part of theoutage. Following core verification per Procedure TI-45, Physical Verification of CoreLoad Prior to Vessel Closure, Revision 25, the licensee continued with reactorreassembly, set the reactor vessel head, and returned the RCS to service. Theinspectors reviewed the video made during the core verification and identified severalpieces of foreign material adjacent to the fuel assemblies that had not been previouslyidentified by the licensee. The inspectors then reviewed licensee Procedure, SPP-6.5,Foreign Material Control, Revision 12, and concluded that the licensee failed toprescribe instructions or procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances asrequired by SPP-6.5 and failed to identify and remove the foreign material prior toclosing the system. Procedure TI-45 contained no instructions to look for foreign 14Enclosurematerial in the core and no other process existed which verified foreign material hadbeen removed prior to closing the reactor vessel. This programmatic gap in thelicensee=s foreign material control process could result in future recurrence.Analysis: The finding was more than minor because the RCS was returned to servicewith unevaluated foreign material that could have been removed had it been properlyidentified by the licensee. This is similar to the more than minor example in IMC 0612,Appendix E, Example 5a. Furthermore, the inspectors determined the finding impactedthe Human Performance attribute (FME Loose Parts) of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstoneto maintain fuel cladding functionality. Licensee evaluation of the size, location, andcharacterization of the foreign material showed that the material was a small piece ofmetal, most likely a steel badge clip, in a low flow area, and would not likely carry overinto other parts of the RCS. The licensee also determined that if it did carry over, it hada low probability of causing any fuel cladding damage, would not affect reactor coolantsystem integrity, and was bounded by previous foreign material evaluations. Since thefinding affected only the fuel barrier and not the RCS barrier, the finding was of very lowsafety significance (Green).
Enforcement:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires in part, that activitiesaffecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions or procedures of a typeappropriate to the circumstances. Licensee Procedure SPP-6.5 required that theresponsible supervisor perform a final inspection of the system for foreign material withthe intent that all foreign materials were accounted for and had not been left within theopen system or component. Contrary to this, on October 20, 2007, the licensee failed toeffectively implement Procedure SPP-6.5 by allowing foreign material, which could havebeen removed, to be left in the reactor coolant system. Because this finding is of verylow safety significance and because it was entered into the licensee
=s corrective actionprogram as PER 133211, this violation is being treated as a NCV, consistent withSection VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy: NCV 05000327/2007005-01, Failure toEffectively Implement Foreign Material Control Requirements in the RCS.

a. Inspection Scope
Access Controls The inspectors evaluated licensee guidance and its implementation forcontrolling worker access to radiologically significant areas and monitoring jobs in-progress. The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of procedural guidance; directlyobserved implementation of administrative and physical radiological controls; evaluatedradiation worker (radworker) and health physics technician (HPT) knowledge of andproficiency in implementing radiation protection requirements; and assessed workerexposures to radiation and radioactive material.
16EnclosureDuring facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls forradiation areas and high radiation areas (HRAs) within the Unit 1 (U1) and Unit 2 (U2)containment buildings, shared auxiliary building, exter nal buildings , and the independentspent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). The inspectors independently measured radiationdose rates and contamination levels or directly observed conduct of licensee radiationsurveys for selected Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) locations. Results werecompared to current licensee surveys and assessed against established postings andRadiation Work Permit (RWP) controls. Licensee key control and access barriereffectiveness were observed and evaluated for selected Locked High Radiation Area(LHRA) locations. Implementation of procedural guidance for LHRA and Very HighRadiation Area controls were discussed in detail with health physics supervisors andmanagement. Physical controls for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuelpool were observed. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates couldchange significantly as a result of refueling operations or radwaste activities werereviewed and discussed.The inspectors observed pre-job RWP briefings and reviewed RWP details, includingengineering controls for potential airborne radioactivity and surface contamination, toassess communication of radiological control requirements. Radworkers' adherence toRWP guidelines and HPT proficiency in providing job coverage, including use ofcontamination controls and airborne surveys, were evaluated through observation ofjobs in-progress. Jobs observed included U1 Steam Generator nozzle dam removal andmanway closure, U1 Reactor Coolant System filter change-outs, a U2 at-powercontainment entry, and various refueling activities. Electronic dosimeter (ED) alarm setpoints were evaluated against area radiation survey results and ED alarm responseactions were discussed with radworkers and HP supervisors. In addition to the jobsdirectly observed, inspectors also reviewed activities and documents associated with theU1 Pressurizer Overlay activities, and the removal and replacement of Hold-Up Tank"A." The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness of radiation exposure controls, including airsampling, barrier integrity, engineering controls, and postings through a review of bothinternal and external exposure results. Licensee evaluations of skin dose resulting fromdiscrete radioactive particle or dispersed skin contamination events during the lastrefueling outage were reviewed and assessed. For HRA tasks involving significant dose rate gradients, the inspectors evaluatedprocedural guidance and implementation for the use and placement of whole body andextremity dosimetry to monitor worker exposure, including the use of multiple badgingduring U1 Cycle 15 Refueling Outage (C15 RFO), and the last refueling outage. Theinspectors also reviewed and discussed selected whole-body count analyses conductedduring U1 C15 RFO and the last refueling outage. Radiation protection (RP) activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSARChapter 12; TS Sections 6.8 and 6.12; 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 20;and approved licensee procedures. Records reviewed are listed in Section 2OS1 and4OA1 of the report Attachment.
17EnclosureProblem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed and assessed selectPERs associated with access control to radiologically significant areas. The inspectorsevaluated the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve theidentified issues in accordance with procedure SPP-3.1, Corrective Action Program,Revision (Rev.) 12. In addition, the inspectors reviewed self-assessments related to thearea of access controls. Specific corrective action program documents associated withaccess control issues, personnel radiation monitoring, and personnel exposure eventsreviewed and evaluated during inspection of this program area are identified in Section2OS1 and
4OA5 of the report Attachment.The inspectors completed 21 of the required line-item samples described in InspectionProcedure (IP) 71121.01.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.2OS2ALARA Planning and Controls
a. Inspection Scope
As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Implementation of the licensee's ALARAprogram during the U1 C15 RFO was observed and evaluated by the inspectors. Theinspectors reviewed ALARA planning, dose estimates, and prescribed ALARA controlsfor outage work tasks expected to incur the maximum collective exposures. Reviewedactivities included U1 Initial Containment Entry, U1 Letdown Heat Exchanger work, andU1 Steam Generator nozzle dam removal and manway closure. Incorporation ofplanning, established work controls, expected dose rates, and dose expenditure into theALARA pre-job briefings and RWPs for those activities were also reviewed. Theinspectors directly observed performance of these activities while evaluating thelicensee's use of engineering controls, low-dose waiting areas, and on-the-jobsupervision. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's exposure tracking system todetermine whether it adequately supported control of collective exposures. RWPs werejob-specific, with approximately 150 written for the current outage. EDs includedadministrative limits (warning to employee and manager, followed by ED lockout, ifdesignated limits were exceeded) on individual worker exposure.Selected elements of the licensee's source term reduction and control program wereexamined to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in supporting implementation ofthe ALARA program goals. Shutdown chemistry program implementation and theresultant effect on containment and auxiliary building dose-rate trending data werereviewed and discussed with cognizant licensee personnel. A review of chemistryactivities included the U1 crudburst and use of hydrogen peroxide which resulted in adose rate reduction of ~8 times from what they had observed before these activities hadbeen conducted. Also, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's source-term controlstrategy.
18EnclosureTrends in individual and collective personnel exposures at the facility were reviewed. Records of year-to-date individual radiation exposures sorted by work groups wereexamined for significant variations of exposures among workers. The inspectorsexamined the dose records of all declared pregnant workers during October 2005 toSeptember 2007 to evaluate total or current gestation dose. The applicable RPprocedure was reviewed to assess licensee controls for declared pregnant workers. Trends in the plant's three-year rolling average collective exposure history, outage, non-outage and total annual doses for selected years were reviewed and discussed withlicensee representatives.The licensee's ALARA program implementation and practices were evaluated forconsistency with UFSAR Chapter 12, Sections 1-5, Radiation Protection; 10 CFRPart 20 requirements; Regulatory Guide 8.29, Instruction Concerning Risks fromOccupational Radiation Exposure, February 1996; and licensee procedures. Documentsreviewed during the inspection of this program area are listed in Section 2OS2 of thereport Attachment.Problem Identification and Resolution The inspectors reviewed PER documents listed inSection 2OS2 of the report Attachment that were related to the ALARA program. The inspectors assessed the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolvethe identified issues in accordance with SPP - 3.1, Corrective Action Program, Rev. 12.The inspectors completed 15 of the required line-item samples described in IP 71121.02.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.2PS1Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluent Treatment and Monitoring Systems
a. Inspection Scope
Groundwater Monitoring The inspectors discussed current and future programs foronsite groundwater monitoring with licensee corporate staff, including number and placement of monitoring wells and identification of plant systems with the most potentialfor contaminated leakage. The inspectors also reviewed procedural guidance foridentifying and assessing onsite spills and leaks of contaminated fluids. In addition, theinspectors reviewed records of historical contaminated spills retained fordecommissioning purposes as required by 10 CFR Part 50.75(g).In 2007, hydrological studies were performed and several new groundwater monitoringwells were installed. Analyses are performed for tritium and, for selected samples, hard-to-detect radionuclides. To date, tritium has been the only radionuclide identified in thewell samples. One of the wells shows elevated levels of tritium due to historical spills. No levels exceeding the EPA drinking water limit of 20,000 picocuries per liter 19Enclosure (corresponding to 4 millirem per year to a member of the public) have been identified inthe onsite or offsite environs.The inspectors completed one of the required line-item samples described in IP 71122.01.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.2PS2Radioactive Material Processing and Transportation
a. Inspection Scope
Waste Processing and Characterization During inspector walk-downs, accessiblesections of the liquid and solid radioactive waste (radwaste) processing systems wereassessed for material condition and conformance with system design diagrams. Inspected equipment included liquid waste demineralizer skids; resin transfer piping;floor drain collector tanks; and abandoned radwaste evaporators. The inspectorsdiscussed component function, processing system changes, and radwaste programimplementation with licensee staff.The 2006 Radioactive Effluent Report and radionuclide characterizations from 2005 -2007 for each major waste stream were reviewed and discussed with radwaste staff. For Chemical Volume and Control Systems (CVCS) Resin and Dry Active Waste theinspectors evaluated analyses for hard-to-detect nuclides, reviewed the use of scalingfactors, and examined comparison results between licensee waste streamcharacterizations and outside laboratory data. Waste stream mixing and concentrationaveraging methodology for resinous waste was evaluated and discussed with licenseestaff. The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's procedural guidance for monitoring changesin waste stream isotopic mixtures.Radwaste processing activities and equipment configuration were reviewed forcompliance with the licensee's Process Control Program and UFSAR, Chapter 11. Waste stream characterization analyses were reviewed against regulations detailed in10 CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Part 61, and guidance provided in the Branch TechnicalPosition on Waste Classification and Waste Form. Reviewed documents are listed inSection 2PS2 of the report Attachment.
Transportation The inspectors directly observed preparation activities for a shipment ofcontaminated laundry and Type A package containing equipment. The inspectors notedpackage markings and placarding, performed independent dose rate measurements,and interviewed shipping technicians regarding Department of Transportation (DOT)regulations.
20EnclosureFive shipping records were reviewed for consistency with licensee procedures andcompliance with NRC and DOT regulations. The inspectors reviewed emergencyresponse information, DOT shipping package classification, radiation survey results, andevaluated whether receiving licensees were authorized to accept the packages. Forselected shipment records, the licensee's handling of Type B shipping casks wascompared to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) requirements. In addition, training recordsand training curricula for individuals currently qualified to prepare shipments ofradioactive material were reviewed.Transportation program implementation was reviewed against regulations detailed in 10CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Part 71, 49 CFR Parts 172-178; as well as the guidance providedin NUREG-1608. Training activities were assessed against 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H. Documents reviewed during the inspection are listed in Section 2PS2 of the reportAttachment.Problem Identification and Resolution Selected PERs in the area of radwaste/shippingwere reviewed in detail and discussed with licensee personnel. The inspectorsassessed the licensee's ability to characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identifiedissues in accordance with licensee procedure SPP-3.1, Corrective Action Program, Rev.12. The inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensee's internal audit programand reviewed recent assessment results.

a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the six PIs listed below for the periodfrom July 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 for both Unit 1 and Unit 2. To verify theaccuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidancecontained in NEI 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline, Revision 5, wereused to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Mitigating Systems Performance Index: Emergency AC Power*Mitigating Systems Performance Index: High Pressure Injection System*Mitigating Systems Performance Index: Heat Removal System (AFW)*Mitigating Systems Performance Index: Residual Heat Removal System 21Enclosure*Mitigating Systems Performance Index: Cooling Water System*Safety System Functional FailuresThe inspectors reviewed portions of the operations logs and raw PI data developed frommonthly operat ing reports and discussed the methods for compiling and reporting thePIs with engineering personnel. The inspectors also independently calculated selectedreported values to verify their accuracy and compared graphical representations fromthe most recent PI report to the raw data to verify that the data was correctly reflected inthe report. Specifically for the Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI), theinspectors reviewed the basis document and derivation reports to verify that the licenseewas properly entering the raw data as suggested by NEI 99-02. For Safety SystemFunctional Failures, the inspectors also reviewed LERs issued during the referencedtimeframe. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety The inspectors reviewed the Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness PI resultsfrom May 2006 through September 2007. For the assessment period, the inspectorsreviewed electronic dosimeter alarm logs and assessed corrective action programdocuments to determine whether HRA, VHRA, or unintended radiation exposures hadoccurred. The inspectors also reviewed licensee procedural guidance for collecting anddocumenting PI data. In addition, the inspectors reviewed selected personnelcontamination event data and internal dose assessment results. Report section 2OS1contains additional details regarding the inspection of controls for exposure significantareas. Documents reviewed are listed in sections 2OS1 and

b. Findings
Introduction:
The inspectors identified an unresolved issue (URI) regarding licenseefailure to submit accurate information regarding the Emergency AC Power MitigatingSystems Performance Indicator (MSPI).
22EnclosureDescription: The inspectors reviewed the importance weighting ratios for both theunavailability and unreliability portions of the five different MSPI i ndicators as delineatedin the MSPI basis document. The inspectors noted that, for Emergency AC Power, aseparate ratio was specified for each EDG on each unit so that when calculating MSPIfor Unit 1 there was one ratio for EDG 1A, one ratio for EDG 1B, one ratio for EDG 2A,and one ratio for EDG 2B. The importance of the Unit 1 EDGs was higher for the Unit 1indicator than the Unit 2 EDGs with each Unit 2 EDG having an identical importance forUnit 1. The opposite was true for Unit 2. The Unit 2 EDGs were more important. However, when reviewing the derivation reports for the Emergency AC Power indicator,the inspectors noted that the same importance ratios were used on each EDG for eachunit so that each EDG was equally important to each unit. The inspectors determinedthat the basis document was correct but the importance ratios had been improperlyentered into the CDE database that calculated the Emergency AC Power MSPI. Inaddition, while reviewing the indicator as part of addressing inspector questions,engineering personnel determined that three previous failures not had not beenclassified properly.The licensee had originally classified a failure of EDG 2A on October 3, 2005, whichinvolved a broken sight glass on one of the generator bearings, as a demand failurebased on the inability of the EDG to complete its function. After reviewing it further thelicensee realized that the EDG would have started but would not have been able tocomplete its mission because the bearing would have failed due to loss of oil. Thereforethey reclassified the failure of October 3, 2005, as a failure to run. The licensee alsodetermined that two previous failures on July 20, 2006 and August 7, 2007, were notactually failures because the affected equipment was outside the boundary of thesystem.Analysis: The as-reported numbers for the Emergency AC Power MSPI for the quarterending September 2007 were -5.3E-7 for Unit 1 and -5.3E-7 for Unit 2. The effect of theimproper use of the importance measures was to change the unreliability portion of theindicator from a negative to positive number while the total indicator remained negative. After adjusting for importance measures the numbers would have been -2.0E-7 for Unit1 and -7.0E-8 for Unit 2. With the additional classification changes to the failure data thenumbers became -1.12E-6 for Unit 1 and -1.17E-6 for Unit 2. While these numbersremained in the green band, the changes also affected earlier time periods. In twoprevious quarters, June 2006 and March 2007, the Unit 2 indicator was 1.04E-6. Because this information involved licensee failure to provide complete and accurateinformation concerning a ROP performance indicator, the inspectors determined that ithad the potential to impact NRC ability to perform its regulatory function.Enforcement: 10 CFR 50.9 requires that information provided to the NRC be completeand accurate in all material respects. Contrary to this, from July 1, 2006 until December 31, 2007, the licensee provided information regarding the Emergency ACPower MSPI indicator that was inaccurate. Specifically, the importance ratios for boththe unavailability and unreliability portions of the indicator were improperly entered intothe calculation for determining the indicator resulting in inaccurate reporting of the MSPIfor Emergency AC Power. However, this item will remain unresolved pending NRC 23Enclosurereview of the previous data for the indicator and is identified as URI05000327,328/2007005-02, Improper Information Provided for MSPI. This item hasbeen entered into the licensee's corrective action program as PER 135288.4OA2Identification and Resolution of Problems.1Daily Review As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, Identification and Resolution of Problems,and in order to help identify repetitive equipment failures or specific human performanceissues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into thelicensee's corrective action program. This was accomplished by reviewing thedescription of each new PER and attending daily management review committeemeetings..2Annual Sample Review of Breaker Problems that Resulted in Missed PreventiveMaintenance (PM)
a. Inspection Scope
In March 2007, the licensee identified two breakers that required 60-month PM byTechnical Requirements Manual (TRM) Surv eillance Requirement 4.8.3.3 had exceededthe surveillance interval and the 25% grace period. In addition, several other safety-related breakers had also exceeded the PM frequency by more than 25%. While operators complied with TRM and TS requirement s, problems controlling PM candevelop into more significant issues. Therefore, in order to understand the cause andthe work control process, the inspectors reviewed licensee actions to resolve this issue. The inspectors reviewed the PER dealing with this event, PER 120990; interviewedmaintenance, engineering, and training personnel; and reviewed several of thecorrective actions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings and Observations
There were no findings of significance identified during this review. The inspectorsdetermined that the root cause was thorough and that immediate and long termcorrective actions appeared to be adequate. The root cause team performed both abarrier analysis and event & causal factor analysis and determined that the transition ofbreaker preventive maintenance from the Surveillanc e Instruction (SI) schedulingprogram to the PM scheduling program lacked independent barriers to ensure breakermaintenance was kept current. They also concluded that the change managementprocess had not provided an adequate barrier. The licensee developed several actionsto address these causes and implemented them beginning in June 2007. Theseincluded designating a breaker program manager, training non-maintenance personnel on the change management process, developing a job familiarization worksheet on thechange management process for maintenance supervisors, a review of breakersurveillance packages and breaker swap WO's to ensure the documentation wasaccurate, and a walkdown of all 480V and 6.9kV drawout type breakers to ensure that 24Enclosurebreaker data was properly entered in the plant database. The actions also includedupdating PM and WO scheduling tools with the correct information. The inspectorsreviewed these actions and verified that they addressed the cause and were actuallybeing implemented.However, the inspectors noted that actions to train supervisors in the changemanagement process were not completed even though stated in the PER. Additionally,the inspectors noted that the package review and breaker walkdown actions were notcomplete. The inspectors reviewed what had been completed on these actions anddetermined that the plant database had not been completely updated but that themajority of breakers were tracked properly. For those breakers that were not tracked,the shop personnel were able to determine the correct information. The inspectorsfound the process to be cumbersome and complicated, which could increase thepotential for mistakes..3Semi-Annual Trend Review
a. Inspection Scope
As required by Inspection Procedure 71152, the inspectors performed a review of thelicensee's corrective action program and associated documents to identify trends thatcould indicate the existence of a more significant safety issue. The inspectors' reviewwas focused on repetitive equipment issues, but also included licensee trending effortsand licensee human performance results. The inspectors' review nominally consideredthe six-month period of July 2007 through December 2007, although some examplesexpanded beyond those dates when the scope of the trend warranted. Specifically, theinspectors consolidated the results of daily inspector screening discussed in Section4OA2.1 into a log, reviewed the log, and compared it to licensee trend reports for theperiod from January 2007 through October 2007 in order to determine the existence ofany adverse trends that the licensee may not have previously identified. The inspectorsalso independently reviewed RCS leakage data for the six-month period of July 2007through December 2007.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings of significance were identified. In general, the licensee had identified trendsand appropriately addressed them in their corrective action program. The inspectorsevaluated the licensee trending methodology and observed that the licensee hadperformed a detailed review. The licensee routinely reviewed cause codes, involvedorganizations, key words, and system links to identify potential trends in their data. Theinspectors compared the licensee process results with the results of the inspectors' dailyscreening and did not identify any discrepancies or potential trends that the licensee hadfailed to identify. There were two issues that had potential significance, both of whichwere tracked in the corrective action program.Following the End-of-Cycle 14 Outage in December 2006 the licensee noticed higherlevels of formaldehyde, two to three ppm, in the Unit 2 containment atmosphere prior to 25Enclosureeach weekly entry. To ensure worker safety, the licensee began increased purging ofthe Unit 2 containment in order to reduce concentrations down to less than 0.3ppm. This was a conservative decision as other methods were available to protect workers;however, by the end of the inspection period the licensee had used all of the 1000 hour0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br />sallowed by TS for purging the containment and had not yet been successful in locatingthe source. During the inspection period, the licensee applied for and received a onetime change to the TS to add 400 hours0.00463 days <br />0.111 hours <br />6.613757e-4 weeks <br />1.522e-4 months <br />. Formaldehyde concentrations had previouslydecreased to approximately 1ppm prior to containment entries and that trend remainedstable throughout the inspection period. The licensee has installed a filtration unit in theUnit 2 containment and has indicated they would proceed with a TS amendment requestto remove the purge limit. The licensee has also contracted the services of a specialistto perform more detailed sampling on the Unit 2 containment as a further attempt tolocate the source of the formaldehyde. Before the End-of-Cycle 15 Outage on Unit 1 thelicensee also identified formaldehyde in the Unit 1 containment. These concentrationsranged from 0.2 to 0.6ppm and have been lower than that since the beginning of thenew cycle in November 2007, typically less than 0.3ppm. Because of this, less purginghas been required. The licensee has continued to monitor levels in Unit 1. Theinspectors had no further concerns with the licensee's corrective actions associated withformaldehyde.During the End-of-Cycle 15 Outage in November 2007, there were several instances onUnit 1 where foreign material was found in or entered unexpected places. Theseincluded the reactor vessel, the main condenser, the ice condenser, the main generator,and the reactor cavity. While each incident was properly entered into the correctiveaction program and none had more than minor safety significance, the actualintroduction of foreign material into unexpected places represented a decliningperformance trend from recent outages. Prior to the Unit 1 outage foreign materialincidents involved process issues by site personnel as opposed to actual foreignmaterial intrusion. The licensee initiated plans to institute specific FME control plans fordifferent areas like the spent fuel pit, reactor cavity, main turbine, and main generator. The inspectors had no current concerns with the licensee's corrective actions associatedwith FME but determined the trend should be monitored.4OA5Other Activities.1(Closed) NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/150, Rev. 3, Reactor Pressure Vessel Headand Vessel Head Penetration Nozzles (NRC Order EA-03-009) (Unit 1)
a. Inspection Scope
From October 10 - 17, 2007, the inspectors reviewed the licensee's activities associatedwith the non-destructive examination (NDE) of the reactor pressure vessel head (RPVH)penetration nozzles, the bare metal visual examination of the top surface of the RPVH,and the visual examination to identify potential boric acid leaks from pressure-retainingcomponents above the RPVH. These activities were performed in response to NRCBulletins 2001-01, 2002-01, 2002-02, and the first revision of NRC Order EA-03-009, 26Enclosure"Modifying Licenses," dated February 20, 2004, (hereafter referred to as the NRCOrder). The inspectors' review of the NDE of RPVH penetration nozzles included independentobservation and evaluation of ultrasonic (UT) examinations (for both data acquisitionand analysis), review of NDE procedures, personnel qualifications and training, and NDEequipment certifications. The inspectors also held interviews with contractorrepresentatives (Areva) and other licensee personnel involved with the RPVHexamination. The activities were reviewed to verify licensee compliance with the NRCOrder and to gather information to help the NRC staff identify possible further regulatorypositions and generic communications.The inspectors reviewed a sample of the results from the volumetric UT examinations ofRPVH penetration nozzles. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed or observed thefollowing:*Observed portions of in-process UT data acquisition scanning of RPVHpenetration nozzle 23.*Reviewed the UT electronic data with the Level III analyst for RPVH nozzles 1, 5, 19, 25, 45, 47, 68, 75, vent line, and the calibration block for the Auxiliary HeadAdaptor (AHA) probe. Nozzles reviewed included CRDM penetrations both withand without thermal sleeves and one AHA.*Reviewed the results of the UT examination performed to assess for leakage intothe annulus (interference fit zone) between the RPVH penetration nozzle and theRPVH low-alloy steel for all penetrations listed in the previous bullet.*Reviewed the procedures and results for the visual exam performed to identifypotential boric acid leaks from pressure-retaining components above the RPVH.*Reviewed the RPVH susceptibility r anking and calculation of effectivedegradation years (EDY), including the basis for the RPVH temperature used inthe calculation.
b. Observations and Findings
In accordance with the requirements of TI 2515/150, the inspectors evaluated andanswered the following questions:1) Were the examinations performed by qualified and knowledgeable personnel?
Yes. The inspectors reviewed personnel training and qualifications to verify thatvolumetric and surface NDEs were performed by trained and qualified personnel. Allexaminers were qualified in accordance with the ASME Code and had additional trainingon RPVH examination, as required in Areva's "Written Practice for the Qualification andCertification of NDE Personnel" document.
27Enclosure2) Were the examinations performed in accordance with demonstrated procedures?Yes. The Sequoyah Unit 1 RPVH has 57 control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzleswith thermal sleeves, 13 with open housings (including 5 instrument column nozzles), 8with part lengths, 4 upper head injection (UHI) nozzles, and 1 vent line nozzle, for a totalof 83 nozzles. All penetration nozzles, including the vent line, were examined by remoteautomated UT from the inside diameter (ID) surface in accordance with Areva approvedprocedures 54-ISI-604-004 for open bore penetrations not using a dummy sleeve, 54-ISI-603-003 for sleeved penetra tions (including open bores which did utilize dummysleeve), and 54-ISI-605-03 for small bore penetrations (i.e. vent line).The inspectors found that Areva examination procedures for CRDM nozzles weredemonstrated to be able to detect and size flaws in the RPVH nozzles in accordancewith Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) NDE Center's protocol contained in"Materials Reliability Program: Demonstration of Vendor Procedures for t he Inspection ofControl Drive Mechanism Head Penetrations (MRP-89)." Areva's equipmentdemonstration took place from August 14 to August 24, 2006. Areva had performed asimilar demonstration in 2002 as documented in MRP-89. However, because Arevamodified its equipment including changing the essential variables of the demonstration in2002, the demonstration was repeated. The 2006 demonstration was performed withthree RPVH nozzle mockups with multiple tube flaws representing the expected fielddegradations. These mockups were different from those used during the demonstrationperformed in 2002 (i.e. demonstration documented in MRP-89). The demonstrationadopted security provisions from the EPRI Performance Demonstration Initiative protocolby restricting the access to the mockups and making them available to Areva only whenthe EPRI NDE personnel were present. EPRI letter to Mr. Joel Whitaker of TennesseeValley Authority, dated October 8, 2007, documents the comparison of the recent Arevaequipment demonstration with the previous demonstration performed in 2002. The letter states that the scatter observed is within the variability of the ex amination and thereliability of the examinations conducted with the new instrumentation will be comparableto the previous demonstration.The procedure used for the RPVH vent line was not demonstrated under a specificprogram such as the EPRI MRP. This procedure was developed with NDE techniquessimilar to the CRDM procedures with regard to basic fundamental ultrasonic techniques. The procedure used for the PT examination of the vent line weld surface was developedin accordance with the ASME Code.3) Was the examination able to identify, disposition, and resolve deficiencies?
Yes. All indications of cracks or interference fit zone leakage are required to be reportedfor further examination and disposition. Based on observation of the examinationprocess, the inspectors considered deficiencies would be appropriately identified,dispositioned, and resolved. UT indications associated with the geometry and surfacefeatures of the examined volume were identified in several penetration tubes. None ofthe indications exhibited crack-like characteristics and were appropriately dispositionedin accordance with procedures.
28Enclosure4) Was the examination capable of identifying the primary water stress corrosioncracking (PWSCC) and/or RPVH corrosion phenomena described in the NRCOrder EA-03-009?Yes. The NDE techniques employed for the examination of RPVH nozzles had beenpreviously demonstrated under the EPRI MRP/Inspection Demonstration Program ascapable of detecting PWSCC-type manufactured cracks as well as cracks from actualsamples from another site. Based on the demonstration, observation of in-processexaminations, and review of NDE data, the inspectors determined that the licensee wascapable of identifying PWSCC and/or corrosion as required by the NRC Order. 5) What was the physical condition of the RPVH (e.g. debris, insulation, dirt, boronfrom other sources, physical layout, viewing obstructions)?The licensee performed a 100% bare metal visual (BMV) inspection of the top of theRPVH, including 360 around each penetration using a remote visual robotic crawler forareas inside the lead shielding and underneath the raised insulation package. Thesurface sloping down from the shielding to the flange was visually inspected directly by aqualified VT-2 examiner. The inspectors independently reviewed portions of the remoteinspection video, particularly in the area around penetration 75, which revealed boricacid crystals around the penetration and on the sloping head surface both above andbelow the penetration. This area was reinspected after cleaning, and the boric acid wasjustifiably attributed to an identified conoseal leak above the vessel head. The ultrasonicinspection confirmed that there was no through-wall leakage at the penetration. For theother areas of the head, no insulation, dirt, or other general debris was present thatcaused viewing obstructions in the areas of interest. The inspectors determined that thephysical condition of the head and the actions taken by the licensee were adequate tomeet the requirements of the NRC Order.6) Could small boron deposits, as described in NRC Bulletin 2001-01, be identifiedand characterized?Yes. The BMV examination was determined by the inspectors to be capable ofidentifying and characterizing small boron deposits as described in NRC Bulletin 2001-01. The remote exam was VT-2 qualified and able to resolve, at a minimum, the 0.105-inch characters on an ASME IWA-2210-1 Visual Illumination Card.7) What material deficiencies (i.e., cracks, corrosion, etc.) were identified thatrequired repair?There were no identified examples of RPVH penetration cracks, leakage, materialdeficiencies, head corrosion, or other flaws that required repair. As discussedpreviously, there were some UT indications at J-groove welds that were dispositioned asmetallurgical/geometric indications (not service related). Additionally, there were someminor surface indications detected on some of the tubes, likely due to thermal sleevecentering pad wear.
29Enclosure8) What, if any, impediments to effective examinations, for each of the appliedmethods, were identified (e.g., centering rings, insulation, thermal sleeves,instrumentation, nozzle distortion)?The penetration nozzles with thermal sleeves and centering pads did not impedeeffective collection of data. Concerning examination coverage, the NRC Order requiresthat each tube's volume is inspected from a minimum of 2 inches above the highestpoint of the J-groove weld to 2 inches below the lowest point of the J-groove weld, or 1inch with a stress analysis. The licensee had performed a stress analysis and theinspectors verified that the minimum examination coverages required by the NRC Orderwere met. 9) What was the basis for the temperature used in the susceptibility rankingcalculation? NRC Order EA-03-009 requires that licensees calculate the effective degradation years(EDY) of the RPVH to determine its susceptibility category, which subsequentlydetermines the scope and frequency of required RPVH examinations. The operatingtemperature of the RPVH is an input to this calculation. Therefore, an incorrect temperature i nput could result in pl acing the RPVH in an incorrect susceptibilitycategory. The licensee uses the cold leg temperature in this calculation. In Supplement No. 1 to the NRC's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated February 1980,the NRC concluded that scale model tests provided reasonable assurance that theupper head would operate at the cold leg temperature. However, the NRC staff alsorequired that plant data be acquired to confirm the head temperature. The inspectorsreviewed this data which confirmed that the head operated at approximately cold legtemperature with some minor thermocouple variations. In addition, both units underwenta modification since this testing to increase bypass flow to the head from 4% to about7%. This gives further assurance that the RPVH operates at cold leg temperature. Forthese reasons, the inspectors concluded that the licensee had an adequate basis for their temperature input to the susceptibility ranking calculation, which results in Unit 1being placed in the Low category.10) During non-visual examinations, was the disposition of indications consistent withthe NRC flaw evaluation guidance?There were no indications considered to be flaws found during the RPVH examination.
11) Did procedures exist to identify potential boric acid leaks from pressure-retainingcomponents above the RPVH?Yes. Procedure 0-PI-DXX-068-100.R, Rev. 1, "Monitoring of Reactor Head Canopy SealWelds for Leakage," is implemented every outage and meets the requirements of theNRC Order. However, inspection of conoseals and other bolted connections above theRPVH, such as the RVLIS line, are covered under the Boric Acid Program. Theinspectors determined that the program and procedure implementation met the 30Enclosurerequirements of the NRC Order. The inspectors reviewed the inspection results for thisoutage and found that no indications of boric acid leakage from canopy seal welds wereidentified. However, as discussed previously, a boric acid leak from a conosealconnection was identified (see further discussion below).12)Did the licensee perform appropriate follow-on examinations for indications ofboric acid leaks from pressure-retaining components above the RPVH?Yes. A conoseal leak was identified during inspection. The licensee performedappropriate follow-on examinations by tracing the leak down to the RPVH and noting theaffected areas and penetrations. The noted areas were then cleaned and re-inspectedto verify the integrity of the RPVH base metal. An action to fix the conoseal leak wasalso taken to prevent further leakage onto the RPVH. The inspectors reviewed thelicensee's actions and determined that they were in accordance with the requirements ofthe NRC Order..2(Closed) Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/166, Pressurized Water Reactor ContainmentSump Blockage (NRC Generic Letter 2004-02) - Units 1 and 2
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors verified the Unit 1 implementation of the licensee's commitmentsdocumented in their September 1, 2005, response to Generic Letter 2004-02, PotentialImpact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During Design Basis Accidentsat Pressurized Water Reactors. The commitments included a permanent screenassembly modification, a license amendment request to change the UFSAR descriptionof the sump screen analysis methodology, and submittal of a supplemental response toGL 2004-02. This review included the sump screen assembly installation procedure,screen assembly modification 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation, structural (debris) loadingcalculation, and validation testing of the modified sump screen design. The inspectorsalso reviewed the foreign materials exclusion controls and the completed QualityAssurance / Quality Control records for the screen assembly installation. The inspectorsconducted a visual walkdown to verify the installed screen assembly configuration wasconsistent with drawings and the tested configuration. The inspectors also verified thedesign criteria for screen gap.
