INSPECTION RESULTS

Observation: Semiannual Trend Analysis of Corrective Maintenance Backlog, 71152 Control Room Deficiencies, Open Operability Evaluations, and Operator Workarounds The inspectors reviewed and assessed the corrective maintenance backlog, control room deficiency tags, open operability evaluations, and operator workarounds for trends from May 1 to November 15, 2019. No adverse trends were noted.

Corrective maintenance backlog: The current corrective maintenance backlog is relatively small, and out of service equipment is being promptly repaired. The total maintenance backlog has been reduced by 82 percent since the start of 2019 and is 20 percent down from the last quarter. Entergy continues to repair equipment and reduce the historic maintenance backlog from past periods. There are no corrective-critical maintenance items in the backlog.

Control room deficiencies: There are a total of five control room deficiencies, one in Unit 2 and four in Unit 3. This represents a very small net increase of one deficiency over a six-month period of performance. Indian Point is effectively managing the backlog of control room deficiencies. None of the control room deficiencies were safety-significant.

Open operability evaluations: As of November 15, 2019 (date of sample completion), there were eight operability evaluations for equipment that is considered operable but degraded or non-conforming (OP-DNC) in the Entergy condition reporting system. These included:

  • CR-IP2-2016-04959 - Spent fuel pit Boraflex - RAKLIFE software under-predicts the degradation in the Boraflex panels.
  • CR-IP2-2014-04414 - Spent fuel pit Boraflex panels have degraded and the technical specifications are non-conservative.
  • CR-IP2-2012-06255 - Unit 2 turbine building high-energy line break effects 480 volt switchgear.
  • CR-IP3-2012-03262 - Unit 3 turbine building high-energy line break affects 480 volt switchgear.

The OP-DNC condition reports for spent fuel pool Boraflex RAKLIFE software (CR-IP2-2016-06255) and non-conservative technical specifications (CR-IP2-2014-04414)were subsequently corrected by the implementation of a licensing amendment that was implemented prior to the end of the quarter and this condition report was corrected and closed. None of the OP-DNC components are significant safety risks.

There are four additional operability evaluations that were statused as requiring compensatory measures to re-establish operability (OP-COMP MEAS).

  • CR-IP3-2009-04819 - 33 EDG jacket water pressure switch failed to close. Implemented a standing order to verify jacket water pressure switch is closed following EDG monthly test. This verification was subsequently incorporated into a procedure.
  • CR-IP3-2009-04502 - 33 EDG auxiliaries - pre-lube pump was not running - special log implemented to monitor jacket water temperature every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

NOTE: EC-18677 was installed and no compensatory measures are currently required to establish operability. The operability evaluation status was not updated to show operable status.

  • CR-IP2-2009-00027 - 22 EDG pre-lube pump failed - NOTE: This condition was corrected in 2009 but the operability evaluation status was not updated to show operable status.

The last three condition reports that had categorized the conditions as "OP-COMP MEAS" had been previously corrected. The operability evaluation status had not been updated to reflect the repairs.

Entergy's decision not to maintain up-to-date and accurate records regarding the present status of operability determinations within the corrective action process makes it difficult to determine the current status of safety-related equipment that is inoperable, operable but degraded, or operable with compensatory measures. However, there is no regulatory requirement to maintain an up-to-date status of operability evaluations in the corrective action process and Entergys procedure does not require the operability status to be updated after operability has been reestablished.

Operator workarounds: There are no operator workarounds or operator burdens on either unit.

Entergy is continuing to operate both units safely and correct any safety-significant problems as they occur. No adverse trends were identified for corrective maintenance backlog, control room deficiency tags, open operability evaluations, and operator workarounds.

Observation: Review of Maintenance Rule Systems 71152 The inspectors reviewed the licensees monitoring of maintenance rule systems in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65, Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants maintenance rule systems. The inspectors reviewed systems in monitoring status or near monitoring status and reviewed the associated actions. The inspectors verified that the systems are being monitored appropriately.

Observation: Verification of Confirmatory Order EA-17-132/153 92702 CONF The inspectors verified the corrective actions committed to in Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) Confirmatory Order (CO) EA-17-132/153 for 2018 and 2019. These actions included:

  • ADR CO Element B: Communications: Training was conducted as required by confirmatory order for 2018 and 2019:

o All supervisors and above completed integrity training at Indian Point, which addressed the requirements of 10 CFR 50.5, 10 CFR 50.7, and 10 CFR 50.9 in 2018.

o A computer-based-training course was created in plateau entitled "Entergy Nuclear Employee Integrity Expectations." This computer-based training was completed by all Indian Point personnel in 2019.

o Entergy provided tier-2 communication via the web training access program to all employees and long-term contractors. 100 percent of all personnel completed this training in April 2019.

o Indian Point conducted semi-annual refresher training for all Indian Point workers that emphasized willful misconduct will not be tolerated at Indian Point in 2019.

  • ADR CO Element C: A causal evaluation was completed in July 2018 by Entergy Headquarters staff that determined the root and contributing causes to determine why prior fleet-wide corrective actions from previous confirmatory orders and willful violations issued after January 2009 were not successful in preventing or minimizing instances of willful misconduct across the fleet. The results and lessons learned from this analysis were shared at Indian Point.
  • ADR CO Elements H and I: An organization health survey was conducted in March 2019 for all station personnel that provided insights into the organizational health at Indian Point. The survey results showed a generally improving trend overall.
  • ADR CO Element D: Entergy completed all required effectiveness reviews for corrective actions in 2018 and 2019 at Indian Point.

o The 2018 interim effectiveness review concluded that two measures were assessed as effective and one measure was ineffective. Corrective actions were taken to address the ineffective measure.

o The 2019 effectiveness reviews reported (ML19364A214) that:

Entergy concluded the results of the fleet-wide effectiveness reviews of the corrective actions to prevent recurrence were not effective in preventing or minimizing instances of willful misconduct across the fleet. Entergy revised the corrective actions to address the cause(s) of ineffectiveness. This conclusion was not identified as being specific to Indian Point.

Entergy also concluded "An Effectiveness Review completed in October 2019, for the fleet root cause addressing why, from 2015-2017, there have been multiple instances in which site personnel violated integrity standards found training audits effective based on the revision and implementation of the procedure as intended. However, the effectiveness review was rated indeterminate based on a recurrence of proctor misconduct occurring after the effectiveness review period was identified. This was corrected by conducting a confidential investigation and internal cause evaluation associated with the proctor misconduct and revising the root cause to add a follow-on effectiveness review in 2020."

o The inspectors concluded that integrity concerns identified at Indian Point were not pervasive within the IPEC workforce and did not significantly impact plant safety.

The inspectors concluded that Indian Point was complying with the requirements of Confirmatory Order EA-17-132/153 in 2018 and
