SUBJECT: BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS.: 05000325/2011002 AND 05000324/2011002

Dear Mr. Annacone:

On March 31, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Brunswick Unit 1 and 2 facilities. The enclosed integrated inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on April 21, 2010, with Mr. Joe Frisco 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. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one finding associated with failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding a manufacturing defect of a Barton Model 199 dual dampener differential pressure unit (DPU) used in the 1B residual heat removal (RHR) loop. This finding has potential safety significance greater than very low safety significance. Although the finding has potential safety significance, it did not represent an immediate safety concern because the finding did not represent a complete safety system functional failure (i.e. the other train of RHR remained operable).

In addition, the report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). The finding was determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it is entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the finding as non-cited violations (NCV) consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned the finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of CP&L 2 this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region 2, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Brunswick. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.

In accordance with 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 public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) 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).

Sincerely,/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000325/2011002, 05000324/2011002; 01/01/11

- 03/31/11; Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 & 2; Operability Evaluations, and Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls.

This report covers a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced baseline inspections by regional inspectors. One NRC-identified finding and one self-revealing finding were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process" (SDP). Cross-cutting aspects are 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.

Cornerstone: Mitigating Systems

• (TBD) A self-revealing Apparent Violation (AV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action was identified for failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding a manufacturing defect of a Barton Model 199 dual dampener differential pressure unit (DPU) used in the 1B residual heat removal (RHR) loop. Specifically, the licensee failed to replace the DPU after the vendor determined that the manufacturing process was incorrect and could lead to a slow response of the component in safety-related applications. This led to a failure of the RHR system 1B loop minimum flow bypass valve, 1-E11-F007B, to operate on February 18, 2011. The failure of the defective DPU was tracked as NCR 448471 in the corrective action program, and the licensee replaced the defective DPU.

The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding a manufacturing defect for Barton Model 199 dual dampener DPUs was a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the corrosion buildup in the DPU used in the control of the position of the minimum flow bypass valve for the 1B RHR loop had degraded, such that the availability and reliability of the 1B RHR loop was adversely affected. This finding was evaluated using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP), Phase 1 Worksheet for mitigating systems. The finding required phase two and phase three SDP analyses by a regional senior analyst because the 1B loop of RHR was assumed to be inoperable for longer than its technical specification (TS) allowed outage time. The significance of this finding is designated as To Be Determined (TBD) until the safety characterization has been completed. This finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect because the performance deficiency occurred greater than three years ago and does not reflect current licensee performance. (Section 1R15)

Cornerstone: Occupational Radiation Safety

Green.

The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1, Procedures, for the failure of the licensee to perform initial alpha activity analysis of air samples indicating greater than 0.3 Derived Air Concentration (DAC) beta-gamma activity on an approved alpha counter. Section 9.5.12.h of procedure HPS-NGGC-0024, Alpha Monitoring Guidelines, Rev. 3, states that if gamma scan results indicate the airborne activity is equal to or greater than the beta-gamma DAC-Fraction Action level of 0.3 DAC; (1) perform an initial alpha count on the air sample using a counter approved for air samples; and (2) assess and document the results per site-specific procedures. Contrary to this requirement, on March 10, 11, and 21, 2011, the licensee did not perform an initial alpha count on air samples using a counter approved for air samples and assess and document the results for gamma scan results that exceeded 0.3 DAC. Specifically, air samples for those selected work activities identified DAC concentrations of 0.6589, 0.3152 and 1.45. Licensee corrective actions included instructions to workers to ensure procedural adherence for sample analysis and changes to the software program to prompt the workers to do the sample analysis when the threshold limits were met or exceeded. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program as NCR 455307.

This finding is greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Program and Process (Monitoring and Radiation Protection Controls) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from airborne radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Failure to identify potentially significant contributors to internal dose could lead to unmonitored occupational exposures. The finding was evaluated using IMC 0609, Appendix C, "Occupational Radiation SDP" and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Planning and the ability to assess dose was not compromised during these instances. In addition, it did not involve overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure because of the relatively low alpha source term in the areas where the surveys were performed. This conclusion was drawn from the results of beta/gamma and alpha smear surveys performed at those selected work locations. However, if left uncorrected, unmonitored internal exposure could have occurred. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of maintaining effective interfaces between work groups in the Work Control component of the Human Performance area. H.3(b).

B. Licensee-Identified Violations

None

REPORT DETAILS

Summary of Plant Status

Unit 1 began the inspection period at rated thermal power, and operated at or near full power for the entire inspection period.

Unit 2 began the inspection period at rated thermal power, and operated at or near full power until shutdown for a refueling outage on March 4, 2011. Unit 2 remained shut down for the remainder of the inspection period.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R04 Equipment Alignment

.1 Quarterly Partial System Walkdowns

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed three partial system walkdowns of the following risk-significant systems:

• Units 1 and 2 conventional and nuclear service water systems with the 2B conventional service water pump out of service on February 1, 2011;

• 1A RHR loop with the 1B RHR loop out of service on February 17, 2011; and

• 2B RHR loop with the 2A RHR loop out of service on March 8, 2011.

The inspectors selected these systems based on their risk significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones at the time they were inspected. The inspectors attempted to identify any discrepancies that could impact the function of the system, and, therefore, potentially increase risk. The inspectors reviewed applicable operating procedures, system diagrams, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), TS requirements, outstanding work orders, condition reports, and the impact of ongoing work activities on redundant trains of equipment in order to identify conditions that could have rendered the systems incapable of performing their intended functions. The inspectors also walked down accessible portions of the systems to verify that system components and support equipment were aligned correctly and were operable. The inspectors examined the material condition of the components and observed operating parameters of equipment to verify that there were no obvious deficiencies. The inspectors also verified that the licensee had properly identified and resolved equipment alignment problems that could cause initiating events or impact the capability of mitigating systems or barriers and entered them into the corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Semi-Annual Complete System Walkdown

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a complete system alignment inspection of the Unit 2 core spray system to verify the functional capability of the system. This system was selected because it was considered both safety-significant and risk-significant in the licensee's probabilistic risk assessment. The inspectors walked down the system to review mechanical and electrical equipment line-ups, electrical power availability, system pressure and temperature indications, as appropriate, component labeling, component lubrication, component and equipment cooling, hangers and supports, operability of support systems, and to ensure that ancillary equipment or debris did not interfere with equipment operation. A review of a sample of past and outstanding work orders (WOs) was performed to determine whether any deficiencies significantly affected the system function. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the corrective action program database to ensure that system equipment alignment problems were being identified and appropriately resolved.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R05 Fire Protection

.1 Quarterly Resident Inspector Tours

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted five fire protection walkdowns which were focused on availability, accessibility, and the condition of firefighting equipment in the following risk-significant plant areas:

• Service Water Building 20' Elevation 0PFP-SW-1a;

• Unit 1 Cable Spreading Room 23' Elevation 1PFP-CB-5;

• Unit 2 Cable Spreading Room 23' Elevation 2PFP-CB-6;

• Unit 2 North RHR Room -17' Elevation 2PFP-RB2-1; and

• Unit 2 North Core Spray Room -17' Elevation 2PFP-RB2-1.

The inspectors reviewed areas to assess if the licensee had implemented a fire protection program that adequately controlled combustibles and ignition sources within the plant, effectively maintained fire detection and suppression capability, maintained passive fire protection features in good material condition, and had implemented adequate compensatory measures for out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems, or features in accordance with the licensee's fire plan. The inspectors selected fire areas based on their overall contribution to internal fire risk as documented in the plant's Individual Plant Examination of External Events with later additional insights, their potential to impact equipment which could initiate or mitigate a plant transient, or their impact on the plant's ability to respond to a security event. Using the documents listed in the attachment, the inspectors verified that fire hoses and extinguishers were in their designated locations and available for immediate use; that fire detectors and sprinklers were unobstructed, that transient material loading was within the analyzed limits; and that fire doors, dampers, and penetration seals appeared to be in satisfactory condition. The inspectors also verified that minor issues identified during the inspection were entered into the licensee's corrective action program.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R07 Heat Sink Performance

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's testing of the 2A RHR heat exchanger to verify that potential deficiencies did not mask the licensee's ability to detect degraded performance, to identify any common cause issues that had the potential to increase risk, and to ensure that the licensee was adequately addressing problems that could result in initiating events that would cause an increase in risk. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's observations as compared against acceptance criteria, the correlation of scheduled testing and the frequency of testing, and the impact of instrument inaccuracies on test results. Inspectors also visually inspected the service water side of the heat exchanger to ensure that the heat exchanger was free of debris and biological growth.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R08 Inservice Inspection Activities

From March 14, 2011, through March 18, 2011, the inspectors conducted a review of the implementation of the Licensee's Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program for monitoring degradation of the reactor coolant system, emergency feedwater systems, containment systems, and risk-significant piping and components.

The inspections described in Sections 1R08.1 and 1R08.2 below constituted one inservice inspection sample as defined in Inspection Procedure 71111.08-05.

.1 Piping Systems ISI

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors observed or reviewed records of the following non-destructive examinations mandated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Section XI to evaluate compliance with the ASME Code Section XI and Section V requirements and, if any indications and defects were detected, to evaluate if they were dispositioned in accordance with the ASME Code or an NRC-approved alternative requirement.

• Phased array ultrasonic examination of the N9 nozzle (Class 1);

• Ultrasonic examination of three main steam isolation valve (MSIV) base metal repair welds (Class 1);

• Liquid penetrant examination of three MSIV base metal repair welds (Class 1);

• Magnetic particle examination of three MSIV base metal repair welds (Class 1);

• Magnetic particle examination of inboard MSIV F022D (Class 1); and

• General visual examinations of three containment surfaces.

Since the previous refueling outage, the licensee conducted a review of ASME Code Section XI required non-destructive surface and volumetric examinations and did not identify any recordable indications. Therefore, no NRC review was completed for this inspection procedure attribute.

The inspectors observed or reviewed the following pressure boundary welds for risk-significant systems during the outage to evaluate if the licensee applied the preservice non-destructive examinations and acceptance criteria required by the Construction Code, NRC-approved Code case, NRC-approved Code relief request or the ASME Code Section XI. In addition, the inspectors reviewed the welding procedure specification and supporting weld procedure qualification records to evaluate if the weld procedures were qualified in accordance with the requirements of Construction Code and the ASME Code Section IX.

• WO 1490271-01, 2-B21-F022D - perform guide pad mod IAW EC 47474;

• WO 1525781-01 - refurbish contaminated MSIV bonnets; and

• WO 1672606-01 -- seal weld the 1-B32-F031A body-to-bonnet joint.

The inspectors reviewed the following non-destructive examination (NDE) activities associated with the inspection of reactor vessel internal components (Boiling Water Reactors Vessel Internals Project):

• EVT-1 of two jet pump assemblies; and

• VT-3 of four jet pump riser arm welds (Class 1).

The inspectors also reviewed the calculations performed to support continued service for an indication discovered on jet pump JPCRS-1 during the previous outage. The inspectors verified that the indication growth since the last outage was within the requirements set forth in the applicable Code.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors performed a review of ISI-related problems entered into the licensee's corrective action program and conducted interviews with licensee staff to determine if:

• the licensee had established an appropriate threshold for identifying ISI-related problems;

• the licensee had performed a root cause (if applicable) and taken appropriate corrective action; and

• the licensee had evaluated operating experience and industry generic issues related to ISI and pressure boundary integrity.

The Inspectors performed these reviews to evaluate compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requirements.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R11 Licensed Operator Requalification Program

a. Inspection Scope

On January 16, 2011, the inspectors observed a crew of licensed operators in the plant's simulator during licensed operator training to verify that operator performance was adequate, evaluators were identifying and documenting crew performance problems, and training was being conducted in accordance with licensee procedures. The inspectors evaluated the following areas:

• licensed operator performance;

• crew's clarity and formality of communications;

• ability to take timely actions in the conservative direction;

• prioritization, interpretation, and verification of annunciator alarms;

• correct use and implementation of abnormal and emergency procedures;

• control board manipulations;

• oversight and direction from supervisors; and

• ability to identify and implement appropriate TS actions and Emergency Plan (EP) actions and notifications.

The crew's performance in these areas was compared to pre-established operator action expectations and successful critical task completion requirements.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R12 Maintenance Effectiveness

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated two degraded performance issues involving the following risk-significant systems:

• Historical performance of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 power plant computers; and

• Electrical ground on the 2A RHR service water booster pump control power circuit on February 7, 2011.

The inspectors reviewed events where ineffective equipment maintenance may have resulted in equipment failure or invalid automatic actuations of Engineered Safeguards Systems and independently verified the licensee's actions to address system performance or condition problems in terms of the following:

• implementing appropriate work practices;

• identifying and addressing common cause failures;

• scoping systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65(b) of the maintenance rule;

• characterizing system reliability issues for performance;

• charging unavailability for performance;

• trending key parameters for condition monitoring; and

• ensuring 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) or (a)(2) classification or re-classification; and verifying appropriate performance criteria for structures, systems, and components (SSCs)/functions classified as (a)(2) or appropriate and adequate goals and corrective actions for systems classified as (a)(1).

The inspectors assessed performance issues with respect to the reliability, availability, and condition monitoring of the system. In addition, the inspectors verified that maintenance effectiveness issues were entered into the corrective action program with the appropriate significance characterization.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R13 Maintenance Risk Assessments and Emergent Work Control

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's evaluation and management of plant risk for the five maintenance and emergent work activities affecting risk-significant equipment listed below to verify that the appropriate risk assessments were performed prior to removing equipment for work:

• Failure of 1-CAC-CS-4178, Unit 1 wetwell vent override switch on January 6, 2011;

• Failure of the 2D service air compressor on January 19, 2011;

• Emergent maintenance on the 2A RHR service water booster pump on February 7, 2011;

• 1B RHR loop out of service for planned maintenance February 16, 2011 through February 18, 2011; and

• Failure of the 2B-2 battery charger on March 28, 2011.

These activities were selected based on their potential risk-significance relative to the reactor safety cornerstones. As applicable for each activity, the inspectors verified that risk assessments were performed as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and were accurate and complete. When emergent work was performed, the inspectors verified that the plant risk was promptly reassessed and managed. The inspectors reviewed the scope of maintenance work, discussed the results of the assessment with the licensee's probabilistic risk analyst or shift technical advisor, and verified plant conditions were consistent with the risk assessment. The inspectors also reviewed TS requirements and walked down portions of redundant safety systems, when applicable, to verify that risk analysis assumptions were valid and applicable requirements were met.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

1R15 Operability Evaluations

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the following five issues:

• Damaged control room ventilation envelope door CR-113, NCR 439941;

• Low wall thickness on Unit 2 RHR system piping, NCR 443061;

• Incorrect ratings for the Unit 1 and Unit 2 electrical protection assemblies (EPA) circuit breakers, NCR 443476;

• Failure of the 1B and 1D RHR service water booster pump control power voltage tests, NCR 448225; and

• Failure of the 1B RHR loop minimum flow control valve to operate, NCR 448471, NCR 448577, and NCR 450795.

The inspectors selected these potential operability issues based on the risk-significance of the associated components and systems. The inspectors evaluated the technical adequacy of the evaluations to ensure that TS operability was properly justified and the subject component or system remained available such that no unrecognized increase in risk occurred. The inspectors compared the operability and design criteria in the appropriate sections of the TS and UFSAR to the licensee's evaluations, to determine whether the components or systems were operable. Where compensatory measures were required to maintain operability, the inspectors determined whether the measures in place would function as intended and were properly controlled. The inspectors determined, where appropriate, compliance with bounding limitations associated with the evaluations. Additionally, the inspectors also reviewed a sampling of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying and correcting any deficiencies associated with operability evaluations.

b. Findings

Introduction.

A self-revealing AV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action was identified for failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding a manufacturing defect of Barton Model 199 dual dampener differential pressure unit (DPU) used in the 1B RHR loop. Specifically, the licensee failed to replace the DPU after the vendor determined that the manufacturing process was incorrect and could lead to a slow response of the component in safety-related applications. This led to a failure of the RHR system 1B loop minimum flow bypass valve, 1-E11-F007B, to operate on February 18, 2011.

Description.

The licensee failed to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding manufacturing defects of Barton Model 199 dual dampener differential pressure units. Barton Instrument Systems issued an advisory related to dual dampener DPUs in October 2001. The advisory informed the licensee that water-filled DPUs built prior to 1997 were susceptible to a manufacturing defect due to an additional dampener port drilled internal to the DPU. The additional drilled port was not re-passivated.

Passivation is a chemical process to provide corrosion protection for stainless steels. As the small diameter port in the DPU corrodes over time, corrosion products may clog openings in the DPU, making it susceptible to slow operation and failure. The licensee received the Barton advisory in January 2002. The licensee's evaluation of the condition concluded that if the DPUs in stores and in operation had not failed yet, they were unlikely to fail in the future, and normal testing would be sufficient to detect impending failure.

On February 15, 2011, during maintenance on the DPU for the 1B RHR loop minimum flow valve, 1-E11-F007B, the DPU failed calibration. The DPU was discovered stuck in one position, out of calibration, sluggish, and difficult to operate. Troubleshooting continued until the licensee was able to obtain a successful calibration on February 16, 2011. A post-maintenance test (PMT) was performed on February 18, 2011, for the 1B loop of RHR and approximately twenty-five minutes into the test, the minimum flow bypass valve failed to operate correctly. NCR 448471 was initiated. The minimum flow bypass valve has a safety-related function in the open direction to automatically open to permit bypass flow when the pump's flow is insufficient for pump cooling and in the closed direction to prevent diversion of flow from the pump during low pressure coolant injection and containment cooling modes. Additional failures occurred during system operation until March 7, 2011 when the licensee replaced the DPU with a non-susceptible, silicone-filled model that was not part of the 2001 advisory and installed a temporary modification to maintain the valve normally open. In addition, the licensee implemented compensatory actions to ensure that susceptible DPU's in other plant applications are not in a failed state until replacement DPU's can be procured and installed.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the licensee's failure to promptly correct a condition adverse to quality regarding a manufacturing defect for Barton Model 199 dual dampener DPUs was a performance deficiency. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e. core damage). Specifically, the corrosion buildup in the DPU used in the control of the position of the minimum flow bypass valve for the 1B RHR loop had degraded, such that the availability and reliability of the 1B RHR loop was adversely affected. This finding was evaluated using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, "Significance Determination Process," Phase 1 Worksheet for mitigating systems. The finding required phase two and phase three SDP analyses by a regional senior analyst because the 1B loop of RHR was assumed to be inoperable for longer than its TS allowed outage time. The significance of this finding is designated as To Be Determined (TBD) until the safety characterization has been completed. This finding does not have a cross-cutting aspect because the performance deficiency occurred greater than three years ago and does not reflect current licensee performance.

Enforcement.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly corrected. Contrary to this, the licensee failed to take prompt and adequate corrective action, causing the failure of the minimum flow bypass valve in the 1B RHR loop. This issue has been entered into the licensee's corrective action program as NCR 448471. Pending completion of the safety characterization, this finding is identified as AV 05000325/2011002-01, Failure To Adequately Evaluate And Correct A Condition Adverse To Quality Involving A Manufacturing Defect Of Barton Model 199 Dual Dampener Differential Pressure Units.

RADIATION SAFETY

Cornerstone:

Occupational Radiation Safety

2RS1 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

a. Inspection Scope

Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls. The inspectors evaluated licensee performance in assessing radiological hazards and controlling worker access to radiologically-significant areas. The inspectors evaluated communications to the workers, contamination and radioactive material control, radiological hazard controls to include work coverage, controls and contingencies for risk-significant high radiation areas (HRA) and very high radiation areas (VHRA), radiation worker practices and technician proficiency and problem identification and resolution.

Radiological Hazard Assessment. During facility tours, the inspectors directly observed postings and physical controls for radiation areas, HRAs, locked HRAs (LHRA), VHRA, and potential airborne radioactivity areas established within the radiologically-controlled area (RCA) of the Unit 2 drywell, Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor and turbine buildings, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), and radioactive waste (radwaste)processing and storage locations. The inspectors independently measured radiation dose rates or directly observed conduct of licensee radiation surveys for selected RCA areas. Results were compared to current licensee surveys and assessed against established postings and Radiation Work Permit (RWP) controls. Licensee key control and access barrier effectiveness were evaluated for selected LHRA and VHRA locations. Changes to procedural guidance for LHRA and VHRA controls were discussed with radiation protection (RP) supervisors. Controls and their implementation for storage of irradiated material within the spent fuel pool (SFP) were reviewed and discussed. In addition, licensee controls for areas where dose rates could change significantly because of plant shutdown and refueling operations associated with the Unit 2 refueling outage (RFO) were reviewed and discussed. The licensee's deployment of portable air monitors was reviewed and the airborne radioactivity monitoring program was discussed with cognizant RP personnel.

Instructions to Workers. As part of the review, the inspectors reviewed the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) packages and RWPs for selected Unit 2 RFO activities. The inspectors observed RP personnel providing entry briefings to workers entering the Unit 2 drywell and reactor building to conduct work associated with snubber inspections, motor-operated valve activities, chemical decontamination associated with reactor water cleanup activities, inboard MSIV activities, and torus diving activities. Container labeling was reviewed for legibility, currency and clarity for selected areas of the Unit 2 drywell, Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor and turbine buildings, radwaste processing areas, ISFSI, and in the RCA of the yard.

Contamination and Radioactive Material Control. The inspectors observed the routine release of materials and personnel from the RCA. The sensitivity of the instrumentation was discussed with selected RP personnel. The inspectors reviewed the radioactive source inventory and verified the physical presence of the most radiologically-significant sources. The inspectors reviewed a memo documenting the transmittal of database information submitted to the National Source Tracking System (NSTS) per 10 CFR 20.2207. Radiological Hazards Control and Work Coverage. The inspectors reviewed radiological conditions for consistency with posted surveys, RWPs and worker briefings. The RP controls were assessed for area radiation surveys, radiation postings, radiation contamination controls and RP job coverage for selected Unit 2 RFO work activities. The inspectors observed selected Unit 2 RFO job coverage for activities associated with the refueling floor and controls for highly activated or contaminated materials stored underwater. The inspectors observed selected Unit 2 RFO work activities via closed circuit television in the remote monitoring room. During tours of the licensee facilities, the inspectors checked postings and verified locking on areas with dose rates greater than 1,000 millirem per hour at 30 centimeters from the source.

Risk-Significant HRAs and VHRA Controls. The inspectors discussed the controls for high risk HRAs and VHRAs with the RP Manager. The procedures that would be implemented where conditions had changed or were reasonably expected to change resulting in the creation of HRAs, LHRAs or VHRAs were discussed with selected operational RP Supervisors. The inspectors observed RP staff issuing LHRA keys for selected Unit 2 RFO work activities.

Radiation Worker and Technician. The inspectors observed radiation worker performance and RP technician proficiency during tours of selected areas of the plant.

The inspectors reviewed corrective action program documents identifying radiation worker performance issues and RP technician proficiency. The inspectors reviewed the corrective action program documents for determination of reporting threshold, as well as adequacy of resolution of the reported problems. The review included an evaluation of selected electronic dosimeter (ED) alarms to determine if the identified events constituted exceeding the performance indicator reporting thresholds.

RP activities were evaluated against the requirements of UFSAR Section 12; TS 5.7.1 and 5.7.2. 10 CFR Parts 19 and 20; and approved licensee procedures.

Problem Identification and Resolution. Licensee's corrective action program documents associated with access control to radiologically-significant areas were reviewed and assessed. This included review of selected Condition Reports (CRs) related to radworker and RP technician performance. The inspectors evaluated the licensee's ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and resolve the identified issues in accordance with procedure CAP-NGGC-200, Condition Identification and Screening Process, Revision 33. The inspectors also evaluated the scope of the licensee's internal audit program and reviewed recent assessment results.

The inspectors completed all specified line-items detailed in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71124.01 (sample size of 1).

b. Findings

Introduction.

The inspectors identified a NCV of TS 5.4.1 for the failure of the licensee to perform initial alpha activity analysis of air samples indicating greater than 0.3 Derived Air Concentration (DAC) beta-gamma activity on an approved alpha counter as required by the licensee's procedures.

Description.

On March 10, 11, and 21, 2011, the licensee did not perform an initial alpha count on air samples where gamma scan results exceeded 0.3 DAC. Specifically, air samples for selected work activities identified DAC concentrations of 0.6589, 0.3152 and 1.45. These samples were not evaluated for alpha in accordance with HPS-NGGC-0024, Alpha Monitoring Guidelines, Rev. 3. When an air sample was collected, RP performed an initial screening count to determine if further evaluation would be required. If the screening results exceeded the 0.3 DAC criteria, then the sample would be sent to Chemistry for an isotopic analysis. If the isotopic analysis confirmed that the results exceeded the 0.3 DAC criteria then the sample would be further evaluated on an approved alpha counter by Chemistry personnel at the request of RP. For those selected work activities, RP did not request Chemistry to perform an initial alpha count using an approved counter. The licensee had identified low levels of alpha activity in the source term based on the results of 10 CFR 61 sample analysis and area radiation contamination surveys of the plant.

Analysis.

The inspectors determined that the routine failure to follow the procedural requirement to perform alpha activity analysis of air samples exceeding the trigger level of 0.3 DAC beta-gamma activity, was a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Program and Process (Monitoring and RP Controls) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from airborne radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Failure to identify potentially significant contributors to internal dose could lead to unmonitored occupational exposures. The finding was evaluated using the Occupational Radiation Safety SDP and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to ALARA planning and the ability to assess dose was not compromised during these instances. In addition, it did not involve overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure because of the relatively low alpha source term in the areas where the surveys were performed. This conclusion was drawn from the results of beta/gamma and alpha smear surveys performed at those selected work locations. However, if left uncorrected, unmonitored internal exposure could have occurred in areas of the plant where alpha emitters would be present. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of maintaining effective interfaces between work groups in the Work Control component of the Human Performance area. H.3(b).

Enforcement.

TS 5.4.1, Administrative Control (Procedures), requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained, covering applicable procedures recommended in RG 1.33, App. A, Nov. 1972 (Safety Guide 33, Nov. 1972). Section G.5.c of RG 1.33, App. A, Nov. 1972 (Safety Guide 33, Nov. 1972) states that the licensee has procedures for control of radioactivity for personnel monitoring and special work permit for surveys and monitoring. Procedure HPS-NGGC-0024, Alpha Monitoring Guidelines, Rev. 3 implements the requirement to perform alpha monitoring activities. Sect. 9.5.12.h. of the procedure states that if gamma scan results indicate the airborne activity is equal to or greater than the beta-gamma DAC-Fraction Action level of 0.3 DAC: (1) perform an initial alpha count on the air sample using a counter approved for air samples; and (2) assess and document the results per site-specific procedures. Contrary to the above, on March 10, 11, and 21, 2011, the licensee did not perform an initial alpha count on air samples using a counter approved for air samples and assess and document the results for gamma scan results that exceeded 0.3 DAC. Specifically, air samples for those selected work activities identified DAC concentrations of 0.6589, 0.3152 and 1.45, which had exceeded the 0.3 DAC concentration criteria and had not been counted on an approved alpha counter, assessed, and documented per site-specific procedures. Licensee corrective actions included instructions to workers to ensure procedural adherence for sample analysis and changes to the software program to prompt the workers to do the sample analysis when the threshold limits were met or exceeded. Because this violation was of very low significance and was entered into the licensee's corrective action program (NCR 455307), this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy, and is identified as NCV 05000325/324, 20110002-02, Failure to follow procedures for analyzing radiological air samples for the presence of alpha emitters.

2RS2 As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)

.3 (Closed) TI 2515/177, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems (NRC Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01)"

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the implementation of the licensee's actions in response to Generic Letter 2008-01. The systems reviewed included the high pressure coolant injection, low pressure coolant injection, and core spray systems. The inspectors performed the following inspection activities. Documents reviewed are listed in the

.

• Reviewed the licensing basis to verify that actions to address gas accumulation were consistent with the operability requirements

• Reviewed the design basis to verify that actions taken to address gas accumulation were appropriate

• Reviewed analyses performed by the licensee to verify that methodologies for predicting gas void accumulation, movement, and impact were appropriate

• Reviewed test procedures and test results to verify that test procedures were appropriate to detect gas accumulations that could challenge the safety function of these systems

• Reviewed the testing frequencies to verify that the testing intervals were appropriate based on historical gas accumulation events and susceptibility to gas accumulation

• Reviewed the test programs and processes to verify that they were sensitive to precursors to gas accumulation

• Reviewed corrective actions associated with gas accumulation to verify that identified issues were being appropriately identified and corrected

• Reviewed plant modifications including the installation of additional vent valves

• Reviewed selected vent valve installations to verify that the locations selected were appropriate

• Performed walk downs of selected subject systems to verify that the reviews and design verifications conducted by the licensee had drawn appropriate conclusions with respect to piping configurations and pipe slope which could result in gas accumulation susceptibility

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Management Meetings

On January 26, 2011, the inspectors held a teleconference with licensee staff and a State of North Carolina radiation protection representative to discuss the status of BSEP's groundwater monitoring program. The licensee provided an update on tritium concentrations in water collected from onsite and offsite groundwater and surface water sampling locations, and discussed ongoing remediation efforts associated with the onsite storm drain stabilization pond (SDSP). Although seasonal fluctuations can occur, the inspectors noted that onsite tritium concentrations in and near the SDSP have generally trended downward since 2007 when the contamination was discovered and corrective action was initiated. The inspectors also noted that although very low concentrations of tritium have been identified periodically in the offsite environs, e.g.

Nancy's Creek immediately adjacent to the SDSP, all reported values for offsite samples have remained significantly below established regulatory limits. The licensee is nearing completion of a network of sub-surface pumping wells designed to remediate the groundwater in and around the SDSP and will soon begin construction of a new-double lined pond to replace the SDSP. The details surrounding a leak of tritiated water from underground piping associated with the Unit 1 condensate storage tank (CST) in December 2010 were also discussed. More information on this leak can be found in Inspection Report 2010-005 and in a docketed 30-day report to the NRC. The meeting details are documented in NCR 402755. Publicly available information regarding onsite groundwater monitoring, and radionuclide concentrations in the environment near BSEP, can be found in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. The 2009 Annual Report is currently available through the Agency-Wide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (accession number ML 101380657). The 30-day report regarding the CST piping leak is also available through ADAMS (accession number ML 110190210).

An exit meeting was conducted for the ISI inspection activities (section 1R08) on March 18, 2011, with Mr. Michael Annacone, and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee did not identify any material provided to the inspector to be proprietary.

On March 25, 2011, the inspectors discussed preliminary results of the onsite RP inspection with Mr. Michael Annacone, and other members of the licensee staff. The inspectors noted that proprietary information was reviewed during the course of the inspection but would not be included in the documented report.

On April 21, 2011 the resident inspectors presented the remaining inspection results to Mr. Joe Frisco, and other members of the licensee staff.
