OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Specific Activity and RCS Leak Rate
a. Inspection Scope
rate performance indicators (PIs) for both Unit 2 and Unit 3 for the period of April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, the inspectors used definitions and guidance contained in NEI Document 99-7. The inspectors also reviewed RCS sample analysis and control room logs of daily measurements of RCS leakage, and compared that information to the data reported by the PI. Additionally, the inspectors observed surveillance activities that determined the RCS identified leakage rate, and chemistry personnel taking and analyzing an RCS sample.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution
.1 Routine Review of Problem Identification and Resolution Activities
a. Inspection Scope
the inspectors routinely reviewed issues during baseline inspection activities and plant status reviews to verify that PBAPS entered issues into the CAP at an appropriate threshold, gave adequate attention to timely corrective actions, and identified and addressed adverse trends. In order to assist with the identification of repetitive equipment failures and specific human performance issues for follow-up, the inspectors performed a daily screening of items entered into the CAP and periodically attended condition report screening meetings. The inspectors also confirmed, on a sampling basis, that, as applicable, for identified defects and non-conformances, PBAPS performed an evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Annual Sample: E-3 EDG Degraded Lube Oil Temperature Switch
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors performed an in- corrective actions associated with IR 02501112, -3 D/G Trouble Alarm,dated May 15, 2015. The inspectors also reviewed IRs 02483985 and 02445646 dated April 13, 2015 and February 1, 2015, respectively, which pertained to the same issue. Specifically, in the months following an E-3 EDG overhaul in January 2015 the E-3 EDG low lube oil temperature alarm on three different occasions. Equipment operators responded locally to the E-3 EDG to discover the temperature switch controlling the lube oil heater had not actuated according to its design to maintain stand-by lube oil temperature between the range of 120 150 degrees F. identification threshold, operability evaluations, extent of condition reviews, compensatory actions, and prioritization and identifyling, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with this issue and whether the planned corrective actions were appropriate. The inspectors compared the actions taken and operability evaluations to the requirements of CAP, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, TS, and applicable procedures. In addition, the inspectors performed field walkdowns, interviewed engineering personnel to assess the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions, and ensured that adequate design measures were in place to maintain operability of the E-3 EDG.
b. Findings and Observations
No findings were identified.
PBAPS identified that temperature switch TS-7245C, which actuates the lube oil heater for the E-3 EDG lube oil system, was not actuating the lube oil heater within the appropriate temperature band. and characterization of the issue on their Priority Work List was appropriate. The temperature switch was replaced on May 27, 2015, and the E-3 EDG experienced no further low lube oil temperature alarms. of IR 02501112 identified that operators were incorrectly assessing the operability of the E-3 EDG after EOs agitated TS-7245C and the lube oil heater began heating the lube oil system rather than assessing the operability of the E-3 EDG considering the as-found lube oil temperature. The inspectors also identified that the alarm setpoint measuring temperature in the lube oil sump and the operability limit for lube oil temperature in the lube oil sump were the same value of 105 degrees F. Engineering determined that to ensure the E-3 EDG will meet its design basis fast start time of ten seconds, standby lube oil temperature must be equal or greater than 105 degrees F. PBAPS initiated an IR to document the inconcerns and specified a corrective action to raise the alarm setpoint to provide additional margin.
through schematics, walk downs, and past lube oil heater heatup data that there was enough temperature margin in the center of the lube oil sump once the low lube oil temperature alarm was received to reasonably declare the E-3 EDG operable (i.e. lube oil temperature had been greater than 105 degrees F.) The low lube oil temperature alarm measures lube oil temperature in the sump at a location cooler than the center of the sump where the EDG will first draw a lube oil suction when receiving an engine start. The inspectors concluded that the issues were minor because when assessed correctly the equipment operability was reasonably not affected. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) constituted an issue of minor significance that was not subject to enforcement action in accordance with the Enforcement Policy. PBAPS entered the inspectors observations into the CAP as IR 02506799.

.2 (Closed) Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000277/2014-002-00:
ESW Pinhole Leak Results in Condition Prohibited by TS On August 23, 2014, PBAPS identified a pin-hole leak coming from a 6" diameter pipe elbow in the ESW system. The piping is classified as a safety-related, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 3, moderate energy piping. Engineering evaluated the piping flow and determined that it did not meet the NRC approved ASME code case requirements for acceptance of flaws in Class 3 moderate energy piping. As a result, both subsystems of the ESW system were declared inoperable at 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br /> on Saturday, August 23, 2014, for both Units 2 and 3. TS 3.7.2, Condition B, requires the unit to be in Mode 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> due to two inoperable ESW subsystems. Ultrasonic examination of the pipe was performed to determine the size and nature of effects of river water in the elbow. A risk assessment was performed and it was determined that the condition met the requirements for requesting a Notice of Enforcement Discretion (NOED) from the NRC. A verbal request was made to the NRC to extend the required completion time for TS 3.7.2, Condition B by 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, to allow for additional time to obtain an emergency ASME code relief request. The NRC granted the NOED at 7:22 pm on August 23, 2014, which was documented in a letter (ML14240A499) dated August 28, 2014. The NRC approved an emergency ASME code relief request on August 24, 2014, which was documented in a memorandum (ML14237A434) dated August 26, 2014. The inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.
.3 (Closed) LER 05000277/2014-003-00:
Containment Leakage Limit Exceeded Due to Through-Seat Leakage of Feedwater Check Valves On October 29, 2014, engineering personnel determined that the N-9A primary containment penetration pathway had leakage that exceeded the maximum allowable primary containment leakage rate (L) value required by TS 5.5.12, Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. This determination was based on as-found leakage through the seats of two redundant feedwater check valves (CHK-2-06-28A and CHK-2-06-96A) that are PCIVs. The cause of the deficiency in both swing check valves was due to operational wear on the check valve pivot shaft and associated bushings. Both check valves were repaired during the refueling outage and as-left leak testing proved appropriate leak-tightness of the check valves in the closed position. Additional corrective actions are being assessed as part of a causal analysis being performed in accordance with the station's CAP. There were no actual safety consequences associated with this event and the inspectors did not identify any new issues during the review of the LER. This LER is closed.
