UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-2713 October 1, 2013 Mr. Timothy Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer PPL Susquehanna, LLC 769 Salem Boulevard, NUCSB3 Berwick, PA 18603
SUBJECT: SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION REPORT 05000387/2013010 AND 05000388/2013010
Dear Mr. Rausch:
On August 29, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed, on August 29, 2013, with Mr. William Bishop, General Manager Maintenance, and other members of your staff. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
In conducting the inspection, the team examined the adequacy of selected components and operator actions to mitigate postulated transients, initiating events, and design basis accidents. The inspection involved field walkdowns, examination of selected procedures, calculations and records, and interviews with station personnel.
This report documents one NRC-identified finding which was of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance of the violation and because it was entered into your correction action program, the NRC is treating the finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the NCV in this report, 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, D.C. 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for the public inspection in the NRC Public Docket Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000387/2013010 and 05000388/2013010; 7/29/2013 - 8/29/2013; PPL Susquehanna, LLC (PPL); Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2; Component Design Bases
Inspection.
The report covers the Component Design Bases Inspection conducted by a team of four NRC inspectors and two NRC contractors. One finding of very low risk significance (Green) was identified; the finding was considered to be a non-cited violation. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a severity level after NRC management review. The NRC's program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, "Reactor Oversight Process," Revision 4, dated December 2006.
A. NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems
- Green.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," in that PPL failed to verify or check the adequacy of the design of molded case circuit breakers (MCCB). The team reviewed PPL response to NRC Information Notice 93-64, "Periodic Testing and Preventive Maintenance of Molded Case Circuit Breakers" and determined that PPL had not included certain 125Vdc and 120Vac MCCBs in their evaluation.
Subsequently the team determined that PPL had not performed any maintenance or testing on these breakers since original construction. The team found that several 125Vdc breakers were credited as one of the two isolation devises required to ensure primary containment electrical penetrations are not damaged during overload or fault conditions on the circuit. The team concluded that PPL did not verify that these safety-related 125Vdc MCCBs would perform this safety function. PPL entered the issue into their corrective action program and performed an operability evaluation on the penetrations determining them to be operable but non-conforming because the second isolation device would perform the intended safety function. The team reviewed the evaluation and determined it to be reasonable. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Barrier Integrity Containment Design Control and Configuration Control attribute and affected the cornerstone's objective. Using the NRC IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power," Exhibit 3, Section B, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). There was no crosscutting aspect assigned to the finding because it was not indicative of current performance. (Section 1R21.2.2.2)

.1 Inspection Sample Selection Process
The team selected risk significant components for review using information contained in the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model. Additionally, the SSES Units 1 and 2, Significance Determination Process (SDP) analysis was referenced in the selection of potential components for review. In general, the selection process focused on components that had a Risk Achievement Worth (RAW) factor greater than 1.3 or a Risk Reduction Worth (RRW)factor greater than 1.005. The team also selected components based on previously identified industry operating experience issues and component contribution to the large early release frequency (LERF) was also considered. The components selected were located within both safety-related and non-safety related systems, and included a variety of components such as pumps, breakers, heat exchangers, electrical buses, transformers, and valves.
The team initially compiled a list of components based on the risk factors previously mentioned. Additionally, the team reviewed the previous component design bases inspection report (05000387/388-2007007 and 05000387/388-2010007) and excluded those components previously inspected. The team then performed a margin assessment to narrow the focus of the inspection to 18 components and 3 operating experience (OE) samples. One component was selected because it was a containment-related structure, system, and component (SSC) and was considered for LERF implications. The team's evaluation of possible low design margin components included consideration of original design issues, margin reductions due to modifications, or margin reductions identified as a result of material condition/equipment reliability issues.
The assessment also included items such as failed performance test results, corrective action history, repeated maintenance, maintenance rule (a)1 status, operability reviews for degraded conditions, NRC resident inspector insights, system health reports, and industry operating experience. Finally, consideration was given to the uniqueness and complexity of the design and the available defense-in-depth margins.
The inspection performed by the team was conducted as outlined in NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21. This inspection effort included walkdowns of selected components; interviews with operators, system engineers, and design engineers; and reviews of associated design documents and calculations to assess the adequacy of the components to meet design basis, licensing basis, and risk-informed beyond design 2 basis requirements. A summary of the reviews performed for each component, operating experience sample, and the specific inspection findings identified are discussed in the subsequent sections of this report. Documents reviewed for this inspection are listed in the Attachment.

The team evaluated PPL's applicability review and disposition of NRC Information Notice 93-64, "Periodic Testing and Preventive Maintenance of Molded Case Circuit Breakers."
The NRC issued this information notice to alert the licensees to the problem of age-related degradation of molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) and to provide sources of information on MCCB periodic testing and preventive maintenance. The team reviewed PPL's response and their subsequent actions to establish a preventive maintenance and testing program for MCCBs installed in 480V and below load centers and AC and DC motor control centers (MCC).
b. Findings
Introduction.
The team identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) involving a non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design 13 Control," in that, PPL failed to verify or check the adequacy of design of MCCBs. The team found that these breakers were credited to protect primary containment electrical penetrations from damage during overload or fault conditions and that PPL did not verify the safety-related 125Vdc MCCBs would perform this safety function.
Description.
The team reviewed PPL response to the NRC Information Notice 93-64, "Periodic Testing and Preventive Maintenance of Molded Case Circuit Breakers." The team determined that PPL had not included the 125Vdc and 120Vac MCCBs, installed in distribution panels, in their evaluation. Subsequently, the team requested the preventive maintenance procedure for maintaining and periodically testing these MCCBs. In response, PPL stated that testing of 125Vdc and 120Vac MCCBs were not included in their PM program and were original plant equipment. The team noted that the operating experience (NRC Information Notice 93-64) discussed that MCCBs can be subjected to age-related degradation. The information notice found that detecting and assessing age-related degradation could only be accomplished through appropriate periodic testing and monitoring.
The team reviewed PPL's UFSAR and found that Section 3.13 describes the external circuit protection for electrical penetration assemblies in containment structures. The UFSAR states that, "each 125 VDC control circuit is protected by a 20 amp or smaller fuse located in a control panel with back-up protection provided by a 20 amp breaker in the dc distribution panel." The team also found time-current characteristic curves for fuse, breaker, and penetration conductors depicted in UFSAR Figure 3.13-5 indicated that proper coordination between the breaker and power cable is required to be maintained in order to protect the containment penetration from damage during fault conditions. The team concluded that the overcurrent and instantaneous trip functions of these breakers have a safety related function for the MCCB because they are credited to operate in order to maintain the mechanical integrity of primary containment penetration assemblies under overload or fault conditions.
The team requested PPL identify whether any of the MCCBs not being tested were part of the containment electrical penetration overcurrent protection scheme. In response, PPL determined that the Automated Depressurization System (ADS) solenoid valves, located inside containment, are energized by 125Vdc MCCBs installed in distribution panels. The team noted that these MCCBs had been installed in the plant during original construction and had never been tested or subjected to preventive maintenance.
Therefore, the team concluded the safety-related function, protecting containment electrical penetration under overload or fault conditions, had not been demonstrated.
To address the team's concern, PPL entered this issue in their corrective action program under CR 1732454. PPL performed a review of their corrective action database to identify any failures related to these breakers or the associated fuses in the protection circuit. The review did not identify any failure. Additionally, PPL noted that degradation of the fuse portion of the protective circuit would not prevent the fuse from isolating a fault. PPL concluded that the containment penetrations remained operable but non-conforming because one of the trip devices in the containment electrical penetration protection scheme would function during overcurrent or short circuit faults. The team determined this conclusion to be reasonable.

Analysis.
The team determined that PPL's failure to verify the adequacy of the safety-related function of MCCBs was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within PPL's ability to foresee and prevent. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Barrier Integrity cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (containment) protect the public from radionuclide release caused by accidents or events and adversely affected the Design Control and Configuration Control attributes related to maintaining the functionality of containment. The team assessed this finding in accordance with the NRC IMC 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Appendix A, "The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power." Using Exhibit 3, "Barrier Integrity Screening Questions," Section B, "Reactor Containment" the team concluded that this performance deficiency did not represent an actual open pathway in the physical integrity of reactor containment and did not involve an actual reduction in the function of hydrogen igniters in the reactor containment. Therefore, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green).
The team determined that the finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect because it was not indicative of current performance because the PPL maintenance and testing program for the breakers was based on their response to the NRC Information Notice which was completed in October 1993.
Enforcement.
The team identified a violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, "Design Control," which states, in part, design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. Contrary to the above, prior to August 2013, PPL did not provide design control measures to verify or check the adequacy of the design for 125Vdc MCCBs to ensure that the safety-related function credited to provide external circuit protection of primary containment electrical penetrations under the overload or faults conditions, was maintained. Because the finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into PPL's corrective action program (CR 1732454), this violation is being treated as non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. (NCV 05000387;05000388/2013010-01, Failure to Verify Operation of Safety-Related 125Vdc Molded Case Circuit Breakers) 2.2.3 NRC Information Notice 2012-01: Design Vulnerability in Electric Power System
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed NRC Bulletin 2012-01 and the licensee's approach to the issues described in the Bulletin. The licensee had provided a response to the NRC which outlined the main steps to be taken, including performance of detailed calculations and implementation of possible solutions to detect open phase conditions and to protect safety-related equipment. The calculations had not been performed at the time of the inspection. The team reviewed the switchyard surveillance procedures and reports, and the interface agreement between the plant and the grid operator to ensure surveillance procedures were adequate to detect open phase conditions.

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems (IP 71152)
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed a sample of problems that PPL identified and entered into their corrective action program. The team reviewed these issues to evaluate if PPL had an appropriate threshold for identifying issues and to evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions. In addition, corrective action documents written on issues identified during the inspection were reviewed to evaluate adequate problem identification and incorporation of the problem into the corrective action program. The corrective action documents that were reviewed by the team are listed in the Attachment.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
On August 29, 2013, the team presented the inspection results to Mr. William Bishop, General Manager Maintenance, and other members of the PPL staff. The team verified that none of the information in this report is proprietary.
