SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000338/2013002, 05000339/2013002: 01/01/2013 - 03/31/2013; IR 07200056/2013001: 03/04/2013 - 03/05/2013; North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2; Independent Spent Fuel

Storage Installation. Fire Protection.

The report covered a three month period of inspection by resident inspectors, three regional based inspectors, one regional based senior reactor analyst, one senior safety inspector and one senior structural engineer from NMSS. One finding was identified and was determined to be a non-cited violation (NCV). The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). The cross-cutting aspect was determined using IMC 0310,

"Components Within the Cross Cutting Areas." 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.

An NRC-identified non-cited violation was identified for the licensee's failure to meet the requirements of North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Renewed Operating License Conditions 2.D, and the approved Fire Protection Program for Units 1 and 2.

Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that fire damage to cables associated with the opposite unit's service water (SW) pumps, located in each unit's emergency switchgear (ESWGR) room, would not prevent operation of the unaffected unit's SW pumps as described in Section 4.4.3.5 of the NAPS Appendix R Report. Postulated fire scenarios were identified in which the SW pumps for both units could be compromised due to a single fire in either unit's ESWGR room. The licensee had previously entered this issue in the NAPS corrective action program as condition report 500152 to evaluate this SW pump control circuit vulnerability and had implemented hourly roving fire watches in each unit's ESWGR room.

Failure to perform an adequate safe shutdown (SSD) analysis as required by the NAPS FPP is a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safety mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external events (i.e. fire), and it affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding had the potential to affect the ability to achieve post-fire SSD in the event of a fire in either unit's ESWGR.

The finding was screened in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC)0609, "Significance Determination Process (SDP)," dated June 2, 2011, Attachment 4,

"Initial Characterization of Findings," dated June 19, 2012, which determined that an IMC 0609 Appendix F, "Fire Protection Significance Determination Process," dated February 28, 2005, review was required as the finding affected fire protection safe shutdown. The inspectors evaluated this finding using the guidance in IMC 0609, Appendix F.

The inspectors performed Phase 1 and Phase 2 SDP screening assessments using IMC 0609, Appendix F, Attachments 1 and 2, and were not able to screen out this issue in the SDP Phase 1 or Phase 2. A senior reactor analyst from the Region II office performed a Phase 3 SDP analysis to assess the significance of this finding. The analyst determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green)because the risk was mitigated by the availability of at least one SW pump and the fire growth scenarios were mitigated by the gaseous suppression system. The inspectors determined that there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because it was not reflective of current licensee performance. (Section 1R05.2)

B. Licensee Identified Violations

None.

.2 (Closed) Unresolved Item 05000338, 339/2012012-01, Loss of Service Water for a Postulated Fire in Unit 1 ESWGR

a. Inspection Scope

This unresolved item (URI) was identified during the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) 2012 triennial fire protection inspection (TFPI) and involved a postulated fire scenario in which the service water (SW) pumps for both units could be compromised due to a fire in either unit's emergency switchgear (ESWGR) room. This issue was identified as unresolved pending further NRC review of licensee information to determine if a credible fire scenario could result in the loss of all four SW pumps due to a fire in either unit's ESWGR room. Subsequent to completion of the 2012 TFPI, the licensee provided additional information to the inspectors in the Region II office and during a followup onsite visit. The inspectors reviewed the additional information to determine if there were credible fire scenarios. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

Introduction:

An NRC-identified Green non-cited violation (NCV) was identified for the licensee's failure to meet the requirements of NAPS Renewed Operating License Conditions 2.D, and the approved Fire Protection Program (FPP) for NAPS Units 1 and 2. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that fire damage to cables associated with the opposite unit's SW pumps located in each unit's ESWGR would not prevent operation of the unaffected unit's SW pumps as described in Section 4.4.3.5 of the NAPS Appendix R Report. A postulated fire scenario was identified in which the SW pumps for both units could be compromised due to a single fire in either unit's ESWGR room. The licensee had previously entered this issue in the NAPS corrective program as condition report (CR) 500152 to evaluate this SW pump control circuit vulnerability, and had implemented hourly roving fire watches in each unit's ESWGR room.

Description:

The SSD methodology described in the NAPS Appendix R Report for a postulated fire in either unit's ESWGR room (Unit 1 fire area 6-1; Unit 2 fire area 6-2) credited alternative shutdown capability by shutting down both units and using the opposite unit's charging pumps (via a manual cross-tie between Unit 1 and Unit 2) and the opposite unit's SW pumps to achieve post-fire SSD for the fire-affected unit and the unaffected unit. The NAPS SW system is shared between Units 1 and 2 and has a combined total of four SW pumps. The inspectors reviewed cable routing information for the SW pumps and noted that control cables for all four SW pumps were routed through each unit's ESWGR room. The NAPS Appendix R Report (Section 4.4.3.5) indicated that fire damage to cables for the opposite unit's SW pumps that were located in each unit's ESWGR room would not prevent operation of the opposite unit's SW pumps.

However, it was determined that this conclusion in the NAPS Appendix R Report was not correct. During further review of the SW pump circuits and discussions with licensee personnel, it was determined that a postulated fire in one unit's ESWGR room could potentially affect the SW pumps control circuits in the opposite unit. For example, a fire in the Unit 1 ESWGR room could create a hot short in the control circuit cables located in the fire affected Unit 1 ESWGR room that could energize the trip coil for the SW pumps of the unaffected Unit 2. The hot short could potentially shut down the running SW pumps and prevent the non-running SW pumps from starting. This could prevent the unaffected unit's SW pumps from providing SW flow for both the fire affected unit and the unaffected unit. During a followup onsite visit March 13-15, 2013, inspectors walked down each unit's ESWGR room and reviewed additional information provided by the licensee. Based on the walkdowns and information reviewed, the inspectors concluded that there were credible fire scenarios in each unit's ESWGR room which had the potential to affect the opposite unit's SW pumps. The licensee determined that this condition was only possible during a postulated fire in either unit's ESWGR room. The inspectors concluded that, because of the incorrect information in the NAPS Appendix R Report, the licensee failed to ensure the opposite unit's SW pumps would remain free of fire damage and available for alternative shutdown during postulated fire scenarios in either unit's ESWGR room. The licensee had initiated CR 500152 at the time of the TFPI to evaluate this service water pumps control circuit vulnerability. Subsequent to the onsite TFPI inspection, the licensee documented a Reasonable Assurance of Safety (RAS) for this issue in CR 500152-RAS 219, Rev. 0 and Rev. 1. The licensee implemented hourly roving fire watches in each unit's ESWGR room while this issue was being evaluated. The licensee was also preparing a design change to isolate the affected sections of the control circuits in order to restore compliance with the NAPS Appendix R Report.

Analysis:

Failure to perform an adequate safe shutdown analysis as required by the NAPS FPP is a performance deficiency. This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the reactor safety mitigating systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external events (i.e. fire), and it affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding had the potential to affect the ability to achieve post-fire SSD in the event of a fire in either unit's ESWGR.

The finding was screened in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC)0609, "Significance Determination Process (SDP)," dated June 2, 2011, Attachment 4, "Initial Characterization of Findings," dated June 19, 2012, which determined that an IMC 0609 Appendix F, "Fire Protection Significance Determination Process," dated February 28, 2005, review was required as the finding affected fire protection safe shutdown. The inspectors evaluated this finding using the guidance in IMC 0609, Appendix F. The finding was assigned to the safe shutdown finding category with a duration factor of 1.00 (i.e., finding duration >30 days) using IMC 0609 Appendix F, Table 1.1.1 , Examples of Finding Category," dated February 28, 2005 and Table 1.4.1, "Duration Factors," dated February 28, 2005. The finding was assigned a high degradation rating using IMC 0609 Appendix F, Attachment 2, "Degradation rating guidance Specific to Various Fire Protection Program Elements." dated February 28, 2005 because the finding was associated with an inadequate/incorrect post-fire SSD analysis and it affected the credited SSD path. The finding did not screen out in the Phase 1 SDP using Appendix F, Attachment 1, "Application of Fire Protection SDP Phase 1 and Phase 2 worksheets", dated February 28, 2006(i.e., the results of Task 1.4.3 was CDF > 1E-6) and a Phase 2 SDP was required to be performed. Based on the high degradation rating, the duration factor, and using the generic fire frequency for a switchgear room (2E-2), the inspectors were not able to screen out this finding in the SDP Phase 2. A senior reactor analyst from the Region II office performed a Phase 3 SDP analysis to assess the significance of this finding. The analyst determined that this finding was of very low safety significance (i.e., Green) because the risk was mitigated by the availability of at least one SW pump and the fire growth scenarios were mitigated by the gaseous suppression system. A detailed risk analysis was performed in accordance with the guidance of NRC IMC 0609 Appendix F and its attachments and NUREG/CR 6850, Revision 0 and Revision 1. Fire modeling analyses were done using the NUREG1805 Fire Dynamics Tools spreadsheets. Separate risk evaluations were performed for each unit's ESWGR fire scenarios using risk information from both the NRC North Anna Spar model and the licensee's North Anna PRA model. The credible scenarios evaluated for Unit 1 included:

Service Water A Logic Cabinet (1-EP-CB-28H), Service Water B Logic Cabinet (1-EP-CB-28J), Auxiliary Relay Cabinet G (1-EP-CB-28G), and the TSC Multiplexer Cabinet (1-EI-CB-301-C). All the Unit 1 scenarios were located in the Unit 1 Instrument Rack Room portion of the Unit 1 ESWGR fire area. The major analysis assumptions included: a one year duration factor, thermoset damage criteria used for SW cables, automatic detection in <1 minute, a bounding conditional core damage probability (CCDP) for loss of Service Water from licensee model used for all scenarios, Halon system credited for all scenarios >7 minutes, ignition frequency, severity factor, probability of non-suppression and hot short probability taken from NRC IMC 0609 Appendix F and its attachments. The Unit 1 dominant sequence was an internal cabinet fire in either the A or B SW logic cabinet which progressed to the overhead cable trays and prompted entry into SSD procedures, loss of the SW system and failure of the operators to utilize either the Primary Grade or Fire Protection systems to provide charging pump cooling, which would lead to reactor coolant pump seal loss of coolant accident and ultimately core damage without reactor coolant system makeup. The analysis result for Unit 1 was an increase in core damage frequency (CDF) of

< 1E-6/year, a GREEN finding of very low safety significance.

The credible scenarios evaluated for Unit 2 included: Service Water A Logic Cabinet (2-EP-CB-28H), Service Water B Logic Cabinet (2-EP-CB-28J), and Auxiliary Cabinet (2-EI-CB-23E) located in the Unit 2 Instrument Rack Room; Motor Control Center (MCC)2H1-1, located in the 2H Switchgear Room; and 480V MCC 2J1-1 and Emergency Switchgear 2J located in the 2J Switchgear Room within the Unit 2 ESWGR fire area. The major analysis assumptions included: a one year duration factor, thermoset damage criteria used for SW cables, automatic detection in < 1 minute, high energy arc faults only for the breaker sections of Emergency Switchgear 2J, a bounding CCDP for loss of Service Water from licensee model used for all scenarios, Halon system credited for all scenarios >7 minutes, MCC heat release rates doubled due to wall proximity, ignition frequency, severity factor, probability of non-suppression and hot short probability taken from NRC IMC 0609 Appendix F and its attachments. The Unit 2 dominant sequence was an internal cabinet fire in the B SW logic cabinet which progressed to the overhead cable trays and prompted entry into SSD procedures, loss of the SW system and failure of the operators to utilize either the Primary Grade or Fire Protection systems to provide charging pump cooling, which would lead to reactor coolant pump seal loss of coolant accident and ultimately core damage without reactor coolant system makeup. The analysis result for Unit 2 was an increase in CDF of < 1E-6/year, a GREEN finding of very low safety significance. The inspectors determined that there was no cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because it was not reflective of current licensee performance.

Enforcement:

North Anna Power Station Renewed Operating License Conditions 2.D, Fire Protection, for Units 1 and 2, state in part, that the licensee shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved FPP as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for the facility and as approved in the SER dated February 1979. Section 9.5.1 of the UFSAR, Fire Protection System, states in part, that one of the ways the station's fire protection program complies with the regulatory criteria is through the NAPS 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Report. The UFSAR further states that the Appendix R Report includes a description of systems, equipment, and manpower required for SSD; and an overview of the SSD circuit analysis. The NAPS Appendix R Report, Rev. 31, Section 4.4.3.5 (Support Systems), states in part that cables associated with one unit's SW pumps were located in the opposite unit's ESWGR room and a loss or hot short of those cables would not prevent operation of the unaffected unit's SW pumps.

Contrary to the above requirements, on March 15, 2013, the inspectors determined that the licensee failed to meet the requirements of NAPS Renewed Operating License Conditions 2.D and the approved FPP for NAPS Units 1 and 2. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that fire damage to cables associated with the opposite unit's SW pumps located in each unit's ESWGR would not prevent operation of the unaffected unit's SW pumps (as described in Section 4.4.3.5 of the NAPS Appendix R Report). Licensee personnel stated that the conclusion in Section 4.4.3.5 of the Appendix R Report was part of the original safe shutdown analysis for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 ESWGR rooms and the violation has existed since that time. Because of very low safety significance, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The violation was entered into the licensee's corrective action program as condition report CR 500152. NCV 05000338, 339/2013002-01, Failure to Ensure Opposite Unit's Service Water Pumps Were Free of Fire Damage for a Postulated Fire in Either Unit's ESWGR.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program and Licensee Operator Performance

.1 Resident Inspector Quarterly Review

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the two licensed operator requalification program performance sessions listed below. The scenarios required classifications and notifications that were counted for NRC performance indicator input.

  • Simulator Examination Guide, SXG-19, on January 16, 2013, which involved a power range nuclear instrument failure, a leak in the reactor coolant system letdown line, and a large break loss of coolant accident
  • Simulator Examination Guide, SXG-2, on February 6, 2013, which involved an uncontrolled rod insertion, a main generator voltage regulator failure, a RCS pressure transmitter failure, a maintenance trip, and a loss of offsite power with 1J EDG failure to start The inspectors observed crew performance in terms of communications; ability to take timely and proper actions; prioritizing, interpreting, and verifying alarms; correct use and implementation of procedures, including the alarm response procedures; timely control board operation and manipulation, including high-risk operator actions; and oversight and direction provided by the shift supervisor, including the ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions. The inspectors observed the post training critique to determine that weaknesses or improvement areas revealed by the training were captured by the instructor and reviewed with the operators.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Quarterly Control Room Operator Performance Observations

a. Inspection Scope

During the inspection period, the inspectors conducted observations of licensed reactor operators actions and activities to ensure that the activities were consistent with the licensee procedures and regulatory requirements. These observations took place during both normal and off-normal plant working hours. As part of this assessment, the inspectors observed the following elements of operator performance: (1) operator compliance and use of plant procedures including technical specifications; (2) control board/in-plant component manipulations; (3) use and interpretation of plant instruments, indicators and alarms; (4) documentation of activities; (5) management and supervision of activities; and, (6) communication between crew members.

The inspectors observed and assessed licensed operator performance during the following events:

  • During a Unit 1 Pressurizer Relief Tank temperature card problem on February 1, 2013
  • During an Station Blackout (SBO) EDG periodic testing on February 15, 2013
  • During the performance of 2-PT-13.4, "Moderator Temp Coefficient Measurement," Revision 4, on February 22, 2013

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

.3 (Discussed) TI 2515/182, "Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks" Phase 1

a. Inspection Scope

Leakage from buried and underground pipes has resulted in ground water contamination incidents with associated heightened NRC and public interest. The industry issued a guidance document, NEI 09-14, "Guideline for the Management of Buried Piping Integrity," (ADAMS Accession No. ML1030901420), to describe the goals and required actions (commitments made by the licensee) resulting from this underground piping and tank initiative. On December 31, 2010, NEI issued Revision 1 to NEI 09-14, "Guidance for the Management of Underground Piping and Tank Integrity," (ADAMS Accession No.

ML110700122), with an expanded scope of components which included underground piping that was not in direct contact with the soil and underground tanks. On November 17, 2011, the NRC issued TI-2515/182 "Review of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks," to gather information related to the industry's implementation of this initiative.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's programs for buried pipe and underground piping and tanks, in accordance with TI-2515/182, to determine if the program attributes and completion dates identified in Sections 3.3 A and 3.3 B of NEI 09-14, Revision 1, were contained in the licensee's program and implementing procedures. For the buried pipe and underground piping program attributes, with completion dates that had passed, the inspectors reviewed records to determine if the attribute was in fact complete and to determine if the attribute was accomplished in a manner which reflected good or poor practices in program management. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Observations and Findings

The licensee's buried piping and underground piping and tanks program was inspected in accordance with paragraphs 03.01.a through 03.01.c of TI-2515/182 and was found to meet all applicable aspects of NEI 09-14 Revision 1, as set forth in Table 1 of the TI. Based upon the scope of the review described above, Phase I of TI-2515/182 was completed. No findings were identified.

.4 Review of the Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) (Inspection Procedure 60855.1)

A review of the areas of operations, maintenance, supply chain, security, emergency preparedness, first aid, and fire brigade personnel was done to determine if the minimum number of qualified personnel would be available as required for the proper operations and safety of the facility.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.6 On-Site Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at Operating Plants (60855.1)

a. Inspection Scope

The North Anna ISFSI uses two spent fuel storage systems manufactured by Transnuclear, Inc. (TN) to store spent fuel. The systems are located on adjacent ISFSI pads. One system includes twenty-seven (27) vertical TN-32 metal casks licensed under a 10 CFR Part 72 site specific license, located on Pad #1. The second system includes twenty-six TN NUHOMS HD-32PTH horizontal storage modules (13 are currently loaded) under a 10 CFR Part 72 general license, located on Pad #2. This inspection focused on the ISFSI on Pad #2.

After the seismic event of August 23, 2011, a licensee inspection of the ISFSI pads was conducted by the North Anna Fuel Handling team, Nuclear Analysis and Fuel personnel, and Transnuclear personnel following the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.166, "Pre-Earthquake Planning and Immediate Nuclear Power Plant Operator Post-Earthquake Actions."

For some of the TN NUHOMS-32PTH horizontal storage modules (HSMs), slight cosmetic damage was identified around the inlet and outlet vents and some surface cracking indications were noted. Specifically, the licensee repaired the following: the inlet vents between HSMs #1 and #3; the outlet covers to the vents between HSMs #15 and #17, HSMs #18 and #20, HSMs #24 and #26; and the outlet cover to HSM #25. The surface cracking was considered to be minor because it met the criteria to be considered insignificant per the guidance of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

NP-6695, "Guidelines for Nuclear Plant Response to an Earthquake." In addition, some modules showed gaps of less than 1.5 inches between adjacent vertical walls, which indicated that some minor movement had occurred. The licensee determined that the damage identified (surface cracking, gaps, etc.) on the HSMs was minor and would not impact the structural load-carrying or radiation shielding capability of the HSMs. With the exception of two HSMs, damage to the HSM array was limited to unloaded HSMs.

The NRC undertook several initiatives to establish agency actions in response to the seismic event to ensure that the ISFSI is acceptable for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public and to identify generic implications resulting from the review of this issue. The NRC developed an action plan (Accession No. ML113290182) that described and tracked the ongoing actions related to the ISFSI as a result of the seismic event.

This inspection was conducted to assess and verify, by direct observation of selected activities and independent evaluations, that licensee activities to repair the ISFSI dry cask storage system and components on Pad #2 were adequate to ensure that they are still capable of performing their required safety functions. Specifically, the inspection verified that outstanding issues, including the acceptability of all repairs made to damaged ISFSI HSMs, were addressed; assessed the adequacy of licensee corrective actions with respect to the ISFSI; and evaluated long-term issues that the licensee had committed to complete prior to the next ISFSI loading campaign. The inspectors walked down the ISFSI on Pad #2 to confirm that the material condition of the HSMs was sound and that repairs had been made to the identified structures. The inspectors also assessed the licensee's CRs and associated corrective actions for completeness and adequacy. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's seismic calculations, revised 72.212 report, and 72.48 evaluations associated with the seismic event's affect on the ISFSI and determined that they were adequate. The inspectors concluded that the ISFSI on Pad #2 remains capable of performing its safety functions of heat removal, shielding, confinement, structural integrity, and criticality control for future storage of spent fuel.

The documents and calculations reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.
