UNITED STATES N UCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REGION I

475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 May 11, 2011 Mr. Sam Belcher Vice President Nine Mile Point Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC P.O. Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093 NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION R E PORT 05000220 l 20 I I 002 AN D 0500 Q41 0 l 20 1 1 002

Dear Mr. Belcher:

On March 31,2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 7, 2011, with you 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 NRC-identified and one self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green). Both of the findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program (CAP), the NRC is treating these findings as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. lf you contest any NCV noted 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 DC 20555-0001; with copies to the RegionalAdministrator, Region l; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station.

In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region l, and the NRC Resident Inspector at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 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 the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

lR 0500022012011002, 05000410120110A2;0110112011 - 0313112011; Nine Mile Point Nuclear

The report covered a three-month period of inspection by resident inspectors and announced inspections performed by regional inspectors. Two Green findings, which were non-cited violations (NCVs), were identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White, Yellow, Red) using lnspection Manual Chapter (lMC) 0609, "Significance Determination Process (SDP)." The cross-cutting aspects for the findings were 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.

Cornerstone: Barrier Integrity

.

Green.

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance associated with a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station's (NMPNS) failure to take adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, between January 26, 2009, and November 29, 2010, NMPNS did not implement adequate corrective actions to address a lack of spring clip engagement for 600 volt General Electric 7700 line motor control centers (MCCs). As a result, the breaker for the control room emergency ventilation system fan failed to correctly operate when required. NMPNS entered this issue into its corrective action program (CAP)and implemented a physical verification of spring clip engagement.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the structure, system, and component (SSC), and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier lntegrity cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance, because the finding did not represent a degradation of the radiological barrier function of the control room, and the finding did not represent a degradation of the barrier function of the control room against smoke or a toxic atmosphere.

This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, corrective action program component, because NMPNS did not thoroughly evaluate the initial component failures such that the resolutions addressed the causes and extent of conditions. Specifically, NMPNS did not properly prioritize and evaluate spring clip engagement issues over 22 months. (P.1.c per IMC 0310). (Section 4OA2)

Gornerstone: Mitigating Systems

.

Green.

A self-revealing finding of very low safety significance associated with a non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," was identified following a monthly surveillance test (ST) on January 18,2011, when Unit 2 operators removed the Division I emergency diesel generator (EDG) from the grid due to rising jacket water cooling temperature. The condition resulted in an unplanned entry into a technical specification limiting condition for operation (LCO) and 23 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br /> of system unavailability. The inspectors determined that ineffective performance monitoring of the Division I EDG jacket water cooling system since April 2008 was a performance deficiency in that the degraded condition of the thermostatic control valve was reasonably within NMPNS' ability to foresee and correct. NMPNS entered this issue into its corrective action program (CAP), repaired the valve and enhanced the valve maintenance procedure to ensure smooth operation.

The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the reliability attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The finding was of very low safety significance because it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not represent a loss of system/train safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external events. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, corrective action program, because NMPNS did not take appropriate correction actions to address an adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with its safety significance and complexity.

(P.1.d per IMC 0310). (Section 1R22)

REPORT DETAILS

Summarv of Plant Status Nine Mile Point Unit 1 began the inspection period at full rated thermal power (RTP). On January 5, and January 15, power was reduced to 80 percent for a control rod pattern adjustment and was restored to full RTP later that day. On January 28, power was reduced to 90 percent for a control rod pattern adjustment and was restored to full RTP later that day. On January 30, plant power was reduced to 53 percent when an electrical bus duct cooling fan failed, resulting in the loss of forced ventilation on the bus duct. Reactor power was restored to fufl RTP on February 2. On February 18, the plant entered the coastdown period of operation until March 20, when the plant was disconnected from the grid to begin a scheduled refuel outage. The plant reached cold shutdown on March 21, and remained shutdown for the rest of the inspection period.

Nine Mile Point Unit 2 began the inspection period at full RTP. On January 29, power was reduced to 63 percent for a control rod sequence exchange and was restored to full RTP later that day. On March 5, plant power was reduced to 63 percent to facilitate a feed pump swap and surveillance testing. Plant power was restored to full RTP later that day. On March 6, plant power was reduced to 58 percent when concerns arose regarding the functionality of the 'A' feedwater pump. The plant was restored to full RTP later that day and remained at full RTP for the rest of the inspection period.

lnspection Scooe During the week of January 10,2011, NMNPS experienced unusually cold and snowy conditions with nighttime temperatures below 15 degrees Fahrenheit ("F). During this time, large amounts of sheet ice formed on Lake Ontario along the shoreline. The inspectors toured areas of the plant that contained structures and systems that could be adversely affected by cold temperatures and frazil ice conditions. Areas of focus were the screenhouse, turbine building (TB), and the radwaste solidification storage building.

The inspectors verified that temperatures in those areas did not decrease below the values outlined in the plant updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) and that the buildup of ice on Lake Ontario did not impact the service water (SW), circulating water and fire main systems. Documents reviewed for each section are listed in the

b. Findinqs lDlroduction: A self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) associated with a non+ited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 50, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action,"

was identified following a monthly ST on January 18,2011, when Unit 2 operators removed the Division I EDG from the grid due to rising jacket water cooling temperature because a thermostatic control valve in the jacket water cooling system had not been properly assembled. As a result, additional unanticipated unavailability for the EDG occurred. The inspectors determined that NMPNS had not performed effective performance monitoring of the Division I EDG jacket water cooling system since April 2008 resulting in a degraded condition of the EDG.

Descrip!_on: On January 18, 2011, about two hours into monthly surveillance test N2-0r5P4G,5J\4@001, "Diesel Generator and Diesel Air Start Valve Operability Test-Division I andlt," operators removed the Division I EDG from the grid due to a high jacket water cooling temperature alarm. Jacket water temperature was observed to be 197

.5 "F when the machine was secured. ln a fully loaded condition, jacket water

temperature is regulated by a thermostatic control valve set at 165 to 175'F. In the test mode of operation, the EDG will trip at 205'F. The high temperature trip function is bypassed when the EDG is operated in the emergency mode.

Three-way thermostatic control valve 2EGS*TCV150 was refurbished in April 2008.

Since then Division I EDG jacket water inlet and outlet temperatures had been erratic and shown a gradual upward trend of 10 to 15 "F compared to the Division ll and Division 1l EDGs. The trend was identified by NMPNS during post-event review of the January 18,2011, aborted surveillance test. However, personnel had not taken appropriate correction actions to address the adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with its safety significance and complexity. Since some jacket water flow through the heat exchanger was maintained by the valve and a bypass line, NMNPS perfoimed a calculation and concluded that the EDG could have continued to perform its safety function in the emergency mode of operation. Valve 2EGS.TCV150 was repaired and the EDG was tested satisfactorily on January 19, 2011. This issue was entered into the corrective action program (CAP) as CR 2011-000421' AnalJsis: The inspectors determined that ineffective performance monitoring of the Oivision t EDG jacket water cooling system since April 2008 was a performance deficiency in that the degraded condition of the thermostatic control valve was reasonably within NMPNS' ability to foresee and correct. This finding was more than minor beciuse it was similar to NRC lnspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor lssues, Example 3.j, in that the inspectors had reasonable doubt regarding the operability of the thermostatic control valve. The finding was associated wiln tne ieliability attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors evaluated the significance of this finding using IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 -

lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings." The finding was of very low safety significance beiause it was not a design or qualification deficiency, did not rep_resent a lois of systemitrain safety function, and did not screen as potentially risk significant due to external events. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, CAP, because personnel did not take appropriate correction actions to address an adverse trend in a timely manner, commensurate with its safety significance and complexity. (P.1.d per IMC 0310).

Enforcement:

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, since April 2008, NMPNS did not promptly identify and correct the degraded condition of Division I EDG thermostatic control valve 2EGS*TCV150. Specifically, the degraded valve caused erratic jacket water cooling water temperature control and a rising trend in system temperature that resulted in unplanned technical specification LCO entry and unanticipated EDG unavailability. NMPNS' immediate corrective actions included repairing the valve and enhancing the valve maintenance procedure to ensure smooth operation. Because this violation was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the CAP as CR 2011-000421, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy.

.2 Annual Sample - Actions Taken to A{Lress Motor Control Qgnter Sprinq Clip

Enqaqement lssues a.

lnspection Scope This inspection was conducted to assess NMPNS's corrective actions associated with issues addressed in CRs 2009-000442,2009-0A1472,2009-003780, and 2010-011459.

Specifically, the inspectors reviewed actions taken to address motor contactor spring clip engagement issues that resulted in main steam isolation valve (MSIV) lV-01-01 failing to open during an ST, containment spray suction isolation valve lV-80-22failing to open on two occasions, and control room emergency ventilation system (CREVS) fan 11 failing to start during an ST. The concern was spring clip engagement issues potentially causing safety systems to be inoperable, unavailable, or unable to perform their safety functions when required.

In particular, the inspectors reviewed the corrective actions NMPNS implemented regarding the lack of engagement between the spring loaded arms and the contactor coils of motor control centers (MCCs) powering the components that failed. The inspectors reviewed procedures, CRs, related industry operating experience, and an LER to assess the effectiveness of NMPNS's corrective actions. The inspectors also discussed the corrective actions with station personnel and conducted walkdowns of MCCs.

b. Findinqs lntroduction: The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," for NMPNS's failure to take adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, between January 26, 2009, and November 29,2010, NMPNS did not implement adequate corrective actions to address a lack of spring clip engagement for 600 volt General Electric 7700 Line MCCs. As a result, the breaker for the control room emergency ventilation system fan failed to correctly operate when required.

Description:

Between January 26, 2009, and November 29, 2Q10, NMPNS Unit 1 experienced four component failures as a result of identical spring clip engagement issues. Standard 600 volt General Electric 7700 Line MCCs are used throughout Unit 1 to power various components, including isolation valves and fans. Within these MCCs, a lead is connected to a spring loaded pivoting arm, which in turn is connected to a contactor coil. The end of a spring loaded arm contains a screw that fits into a recessed hole on the coil contact. When the spring loaded arm screw is not adequately engaged with the recessed hole of the coil contact, the connection is susceptible to failure.

On January 26,2009, MSIV lV-01-01 failed to reopen from the seven percent closed position during the performance of N1-ST-Q26, "Feedwater and Main Steam Line Power Operated lsolation Valves Partial Exercise Test and Associated Functional Testing of Reactor Protection System Trip Logic." The failure of MSIV lV-01-01, a motor operated valve, to reopen was determined to be caused by a lack of engagement between the spring loaded arm and the coil contact of the MCC cubicle internals, which made the connection susceptible to failure over time. MSIV lV-01-01 was declared inoperable and a four hour LCO was entered. Subsequently, the lead was re-landed and the valve was returned to service. NMPNS revised procedures to require an inspection verifying positive connection and engagement of the power lead to the contactor coil.

On March 23,2009, containment spray pump suction isolation valve lV-80-22 would not open from the control room. The failure of containment spray lV-80-22 to open was also determined to be caused by a lack of engagement between the spring loaded arm and the coil of the MCC cubicle internals following maintenance (although electrical continuity existed). The last performance of N1-ST-QOD, "Containment Spray System Loop 122 Quarterly Operability Test," had been on January 7 , 2009. Subsequently, the lead was reconnected and the valve was stroked open and closed with no problems noted. NMPNS performed visual inspections of cubicles in all NMPNS Unit 1 MCCs and NMPNS Unit 2 Division lll MCCs to determine if similar issues existed with the spring loaded arms attached to the open and close coils.

On July 8, 2009, containment spray lV-80-22 again failed to open during the performance of N1-ST-Q6D. NMPNS determined that the failure of containment spray lV-80-22 to open was caused by inadequate procedures N1-EPM-GEN-182, "Motor Control Center (7700 Line) Inspection," and N2-EPM-GEN-582, "Molded Case Circuit Breaker and Thermal Overload Relay Testing," because these procedures had not been revised to contain verification steps to ensure contactor clips are in the guide slots or seated properly in the opening coil indent. Subsequently, the lead was reconnected, lV-80-22 stroked and the containment spray system restored to an operable status. No new corrective actions were proposed or completed.

On November 29,2010, CREVS fan 11 failed to start during the performance of N1-RSP-6Q, "Control Room Ventilation Radiation Monitor Instrument ChannelTest," and was declared inoperable. The failure of the CREVS 'fan 11 was determined to be caused by inadequate corrective actions related to the issues that occurred on January 26, 2009, and March 23,2009, respectively. Specifically, the corrective actions for both events, performing a visual inspection of the remaining MCCs was inadequate in that a visual inspection alone could not conclusively prove spring clip binding was not present.

Consequently, NMPNS corrective action for the November 29,2010, failure included revised MCCs inspection procedures to include physical verification of spring clip engagement. This issue was entered into the CAP as CR-2010-011459.

NMPNS inspected all safety-related spring clips of a similar design in both units to verify proper engagement, NMPNS revised its MCC inspection procedures to include physical verification of spring clip engagement, and NMPNS implemented a new training procedure that includes controls to ensure consistent standards are applied for review and approval of apparent cause evaluations (ACEs), including development of rigorous corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence.

Analvsis: The inspectors determined that NMPNS did not take prompt or adequate corrective actions to correct a condition adverse to quality, a lack of connector coil spring clip engagement that prevented the CREVS tan 11from starting which was reasonably within NMPNS's ability to foresee and prevent. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the structure, system, and component, and barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone, and affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors evaluated the significance of this finding using NRC IMC 0609, Attachment 4, "Phase 1 - lnitial Screening and Characterization of Findings." The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green),because the finding did not represent a degradation of the radiological barrier function of the control room, and the finding did not represent a degradation of the barrier function of the control room against smoke or a toxic atmosphere. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, CAP component, because NMPNS did not thoroughly evaluate the initial component failures such that the resolutions addressed the causes and extent of conditions. Specifically, NMPNS did not properly prioritize and evaluate spring clip engagement issues. (P.1.c per IMC 0310).

Enforcement:

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVl, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and non-conformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, between January 26, 2009, and July 8, 2009, NMPNS did not take adequate corrective actions to correct contactor to spring clip engagement issues. As a result, on November 29,2010, CREVS fan ll failed to properly operate during an ST. NMPNS's corrective actions included developing MCC inspection procedures to include physical verification of spring clip engagement, and revising procedure CNG-TR-1.01-GL007, "Training and Qualification for Personnel Performing Performance lmprovement Functions and Activities," to include improved controls to ensure consistent standards are applied for review and approval of ACEs. Because this finding is of very low safety significance and NMPNS has entered it into its CAP as CR-2010-011459, this violation is being treated as an NCV, consistent with Section Vl.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

40A3 Followup of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71 153)

.1 (Closed) LER 05000220/2010-001-00. Reactor Scram Due to lnadequate Post

Maintenance Testing On November 10, 2010, Unit 1 scrammed from full RTP when outboard MSIVs 01-03 and 01-04 closed following receipt of an invalid low-low reactor water level signal. The scram was the result of two latent preexisting conditions, which deenergized three out of the four power supplies to the MSlVs. When the fourth MSIV power supply was deenergized as part of a planned surveillance activity, the MSIVs closed as designed causing the scram. The first latent condition, which had existed since 2005 when the solenoid-operated valves (SOVs) for the MSIVs were replaced, consisted of misaligned connector pins on grayboot splice connectors for the outboard MSIV channel 11 SOVs.

This condition, which had not been identified during the subsequent PMT on the SOVs, deenergized two of the power MSIV solenoid power supplies. The second preexisting condition consisted of a misaligned contact spring in isolation logic channel 12 relay 12K74. This condition, which NMNPS concluded had existed since completion of an August 2010 ST, deenergized the third MSIV solenoid power supply. NMNPS determined the contact spring misaligned when excess plastic material left over from the relay fabrication process distorted the contact spring following completion of the ST.

As discussed in the LER, NMPNS' corrective action included correctly installing the grayboot splice connectors and conducting an appropriate PMT to assure proper operation of the SOVs. Channel 12 relay 12K74 was replaced and tested to assure proper operation. Long term corrective action included developing training for planning personnel to ensure they have an adequate understanding of complex/redundant circuits for the proper determination of PMT requirements. The inspectors concluded that these corrective actions appropriately addressed the root causes of the event.

The events detailed in this LER were discussed in Section 4OA3 of inspection report 0500022012010005 and resulted in an NCV. The inspectors reviewed the LER and no additional findings of significance were identified. This LER is closed.

.2 Unusual Event Declaration due to Deqraded DrvwellAtmospheric Conditions

lnspection Scope On March 29, at 0056 a.m. the control room was notified that a smallfire had occurred in an electrically powered man lift located in the Unit 1 drywell. In accordance with EPIP-EPP-28, Revision 01500, "Firefighting," the site fire brigade was activated and dispatched to the drywell to investigate. Upon arrival at the fire location, the fire brigade leader determined that the fire had been extinguished by a plant employee through use I

of a portable carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. At 0155 a.m. the control room declared an Unusual Event (UE) in accordance with emergency action level 8.3.3, "Man Made Events," when high levels of carbon monoxide were detected in the drywell atmosphere by the site safety department who was conducting follow-up air samples of the drywell atmosphere. The levels of carbon monoxide measured were 79 parts per million (ppm)which exceeded the 50 ppm limit established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Later that day at0225 a.m., the UE was terminated when atmospheric sampling determined the drywell carbon monoxide levels had decreased below 50 ppm.

In response to the event the resident inspector responded to the control room to evaluate the initial actions taken by operators in response to the man lift fire, and to the out-of-specification carbon monoxide atmospheric readings in the drywell. As part of the follow-up to this event the inspector reviewed NMPNS's emergency response plan procedures EPIP-EPP-O1, "Classification of Emergency Conditions at Unit 1," Revision 18, and EPIP-EPP-29,"Fire Fighting," Revision 01500.
